OtR's Wheaton Thing
Here's my one cent (I can't really throw two cents in, since I wasn't at the
show).
The thing that struck me as most goofy in David's review were the following
few sentences:
"Need I say more than to point out that the one single (GMS) from the album,
the one single that might have brought out new fans of OTR was performed
acoustic!? And a slighter than average performance it was! Of course,
Karen's vocals could be sweet and captivating in a concentration camp, but
we should, and I certainly do, expect more from the band than turning the
single into a watered down version because they could not figure out how to
reproduce the sound outside of the studio!"
I saw 'em play GMS acoustic at Everybodys, heard it on 97X as well that
morning. Acoustic versions aren't always "watered down"; that's not the way
I'd describe what I heard at all. You don't always have to be beaten over
the head to get the point of something. Hearing exact live duplications of
CDs I own is not the reason I go to a concert; maybe it's the reason you go.
[this coming from someone who usually can say it like it is, I have no
qualms ever about dogging a rotten performance]
Welcome, and I'm glad you new folks are all writing!
