LOCATION: Joseph-Beth Bookstores, Cincinnati, OH
LINEUP: Karin, Linford
REVIEW BY: Various Listees
Dan Temmesfeld: Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Cincinnati, OH (just outside of Kentucky) Saturday, August 23rd HIGHLIGHTS: Hometown (Norwood) Boy, Suitcase, Anything At All, Show Me, Fever, Ohio, trivia break (Drew Vogel, aka D.V., won a framed poster), The Seahorse, and Summertime. They also had What I'll Remember Most, Changes Come, and Bothered on the setlist, but didn't play them. Suitcase was great. Show Me was better than what I'd heard prior, and Fever was stunningly sexy (as usual). BUMMER: I didn't have my OHIO CDs from Paste yet. I didn't even have them by the time I got home late Saturday night. I had K&L sign my Paste Order Confirmation email instead. I crack myself up sometimes. OVERALL: Great set, sound was a bit off, but it was a really fun time. Song highlights were... all of 'em. It was good to see them in a nice intimate bookstore venue.
Did anyone else on the list have a chance to attend Joseph Beth in = Cincinnati last Saturday to see Karen and Linford perform? =20 It was wonderful!!! I came with husband and kids an hour early so we = could get front row seats, which we did. :) We were within striking = distance of them both.=20 They played about 10 songs. There were eight from Ohio, as I can = recall. They also played Fever, and a song from Films for Radio. It = was really wonderful to hear them perform live. A zillion people showed = up and Karen remarked it was quite a bit more that the "three" she = thought would show.=20 Afterwards they signed CDs and you got a free poster (signed) if you = purchased your CD then. We are seeing them again this Friday in Lexington Ky. =20
i just got back in from seeing k & l do a promo gig @ a local bookstore in cinti. once again, incredible performance. the place was packed [my guess several hundred], i'm kind of amazed at how surprised, happy & thankful they seem everytime a large crowd shows up for them. i really don't think they have figured out how large and loyal their following is...maybe that humility is part of the charm, maybe they are just truly nice, good people who enjoy what they do and enjoy sharing it with people who appreciate it. they played for about an hour, opening with "hometown boy" (good choice considering they probably could have walked to the gig), karin kept looking at linford and smiling on the line "he's my hometown boy", they rolled through 8-10 songs from "ohio" & closed with "seahorse" & "summertime". they signed for everyone who waited, which was most (they also signed & gave out really cool "ohio" promo posters), giving their time, conversation, laughs, and stories to all. also there were many friends of theirs (along with karin's mother) in the audience, which i'm sure was a little inspiring for them. all said, the new stuff is even better live, karin's voice as amazing as ever... it takes very little to get me excited about seeing them... but i'm ready! friday night @ "the dame" & saturday night @ "moonlight gardens" are gonna be a blast ya'll, can't wait to hear this stuff with the full band!
