The Madison newspaper supplement carried this very nice article on the
band.
The only misinformation in it , is where they state that OtR would
be playing their entire catalog in order Taft weeekend. As Karin stated
at the show, this would probably take a few days to do then.
MADISON WI
ARTICLE
Sue and I left the freezing rain of the northland Saturday morning for the 3.5 hour drive down the interstate to see OtR. On a cold, blustery snow flurry kind of day, they definitely warmed up the sold-out beautiful old Majestic Theater, located right in the shadow of Wisconsin's State Capitol. We met our friends from Rockford, IL Bob and his wife Karen (her first live OtR show). And it was so great to see the band again, I've really missed them since last seeing them in Dayton in April.
Twin Cities songer-songwriter Haley Bonar opened (one of my local favorite artists). she played a very nice well received opening set.
Over the Rhine came on and played a somewhat short, but very spirited set. And the crowd was really into it. I ran into some people I met last year in Madison and Milwaukee, plus a few new ones.
Pete who is from the Ann Arbor area was there, having seen them the night before in Naperville, and I met Tom who was recording the show and he said he would send me a copy. He also sent me some pics he took and said I could post them. After their encore the lights came on but the crowd just kept cheering louder until Karin and Linford came back out and they ended the evening with the beautiful unplanned Latter Days. So nice to see the band again and had some nice talk with them afterwards.
Kenny did not make the trip due to a previous commitment, and we also
got to meet Mrs. Jake. She's a sweety!
Here's the set list, no real surprises, and lacks some of the Films
for Radio stuff they've been playing recently, but a very nice, enjoyable
set of music. Plus I finally got to hear Professional Daydreamer live!
And note what it says on the setlist for Cruel & Pretty in the encore.
