REVIEW BY: Brian K Schermerhorn
ok, this is unprecedented for me, but here i go: brian's concert notes. 25 October 2003 - canal street tavern openers: griffin house, susan enan setlist (ripped from the stage): hometown long lost bro anything new orleans (1) she nobody # 1 (2) lifelong - ----- remind us (3) ohio (3) - ----- pro day (4) all i need orphan changes (5) - ---- cruel (6) jack's fool ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (1) linford quoted karin from an earlier story: "i haven't had a hangover like that since the henderson's left." karin replied "i'm gonna dedicate this one to me..." (2) karin introduced the song with "this is how white girls rap in ohio." (3) these two were with karin solo on stage, playing keys (4) after ending this song linford said "well, does anyone have anything to say?" this fellow pipes up right away. "well, actually linford, i do..." propositions ensue. she says yes, hooray for the happy couple. karin and linford must get invited to a lot of weddings for which they're partially responsible. before starting karin says "that's hard to follow." someone yelled out "try 'go down easy'" karin demurely muttered "oh, my..." (5) this wasn't played (6) after 'cruel and pretty' someone yelled out 'latter days!' linford said "yeah, you've been yelling that out all night--we'll give it a shot." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ i was one of those fools there both nights. tonight was like retro otr--4 piece, about half a dozen notches lower in intensity than the night before. everything seemed just a step mellower, just a step slower. it was the otr that i was first introduced to. strong, dynamic, tremendous. but not the same band as the the one with paul. i like the new sound. i originally only planned on being there saturday--i'm glad i got to see paul friday. that was a treat.
