LOCATION: Cornerstone, Chicago, IL
LINEUP: Brian, Linford, Karin, Terri, Jack, Wade
REVIEW BY: Layne Peterson
The setlist: (I don't know exact titles to the new songs and can't seem to find any posts with setlists without involved searching, so forgive me if I butcher what you think the titles are) Faithfully Dangerous Tumbleweeds The Seahorse All I Need is Everything Etcetera Whatever Everyman's Daughter I Will Remember Moth Whatever You See (?) Anyway (?) Poughkeepsie And Can it Be Goodbye encore: Jack's Valentine Lucy Latter Days Rhapsodie Go Down Easy Pretty much the same set they've been playing, isn't it? I was a bit bummed by the lack of "Bothered." I can understand how people who see them more than once a year would get tired of the same setlist, but I really dug it. And I think Jack's kinda coming into his own. When I saw them last year, he'd been with them for all of about a month (if I remember right). He's getting some really great "Twin Peaks"/Angelo Badalamenti type tones and I think that works really well. Granted, it's different than Ric, but I don't necessarily think that's bad. Terri wore her hair in a ponytail kinda thing. And let me just go on record as not really liking Karin's haircut. I think the new songs are really amazing, too (even if I didn't always know titles). Wade seems to have blended pretty easily, but given his history as a bit of a hired gun kinda player, that's not really very surprising to me. Lots of people there. The Compassion International tent was where they were (CStone is set up with big circus-type tents all over the place), and it was pretty well maxed out. People outside all over the place, but it still seemed to have a pretty intimate feel. There really wasn't much "banter" type stuff. Karin said a few words every few songs, and that was that. Anyway, anyone else who was there, please add to this. Like I said, I'm still pretty pooped. Melissa? Rachel? Any other Cornerstoners?
