LINEUP: Jack, Karin, Linford, Jeff, Terri, Dave, Dan Heffington

REVIEW BY: Jan Kendrick

anyway, they began the set with go down easy (big surprise), and other than
that, it was a totally different show than the taft.  they were happy,
energetic, they put new twists on old stuff....  i was thoroughly impressed.
and while i had a good time at the taft show, that was more due to being in
cincinnati, seeing otr in such a nice, big place, seeing new and old friends,
etc.  i don't have a set list (maybe someone does?), but i know they played
the following (though maybe not in this order)
all i need is everything
poughkeepsie
and can it be/cast me away
jacksie
circle of quiet
faithfully dangerous
orphan girl
silent night
thank you my angel
little blue river
etc. whatever (for some people who'd flown in from north carolina.  then
someone shouted out that he had come in from texas and he asked if he coiuld
make a request.  linford said sure, but the guy said "within without," and as
you can imagine, they laughed.)
latter days
last night ("a song about the morning after")
bothered
my love is a fever

comments from otr newbies:
"this music really is hard to describe:blues-y, folky, pop.  it's weird.  i
like it, but it's weird."
"they sound a lot like the sundays"
"the only song i didn't like was the one about laying her in the ground
[jacksie]"
"what album is THIS [little blue river] on?"
"wow....i'm really impressed."
"it's amazing how not depressing these guys are live [compared to the cd]."
"i like that girl's voice.  with a voice like that she could so over-sex it,
but she doesn't.  i like that."
