Denver show and such

Hey hey... de-lurking for a few seconds to say the show in Denver last night
was awesome. Dawn has twice now (at Lilith Fair in '98 and last night) just
out of the blue asked me "hey, is your name Layne?" (hey Dawn... it was good
to see you again last night) Unfortunately, I had to go to the ol' show
alone because all my friends that are 21 and over all seemed to have other
things to attend to, and all of my youth group kids that I've turned on to
OtR are, of course, not 21 yet (of which I can't express their
disappointment at not getting to go). Anyway the setlist seemed to be
similar to what people have been posting these past couple of weeks. It was
really great to see them do some old stuff, though. It seemed for a little
while that as every song got going, Dawn and I were shouting "cool!!!" at
each other. The list was (and Dawn, you can correct me if I be missing
anything):

Latter Days
The World Can Wait
if Nothing Else
All I Need is Everything
Fairpoint Diary
I Radio Heaven (not sure what I thought about the radio channel-switching
going on for that one)
Little Blue River/In the Garden
Should
Moth
Anything at All (good new tune, btw)
Bothered
Sleep Baby Jane
Faithfully Dangerous
My Love is a Fever
Goodbye
The Body is...
Give Me Strength with a bit of If I'm Drowning thrown in for good measure

Really cool set, imo. Wishing Karin would have pulled out "As I Go",
however. As others have mentioned, there seemed to be a lot of talking going
on during the show, though. We were right down in front of Linford, and a
group to our left seemed far more interested in groping each other and
shouting over the music at each other than what was actually happening on
the stage. Can't imagine why someone would pay however much cash for a
ticket and then not pay attention, like, at all to what they paid for. I dug
the new band set up and the new arrangements that got thrown in as well, but
was bummed to not have Terri there. I haven't seen them since Cornerstone
'98, but when I hear songs like "Goodbye", "All I Need..." and "Bothered", I
still hear those harmony parts in my head. For some reason, there were a lot
more people there then I thought there would be. I guess it seems like
whenever I mention OtR to anyone, no one in this neck o' the woods has ever
heard of them. I really thought Rose Polenzani (sp?) was great as well. The
guy she had playing guitar with her (Goody or something like that) really
complemented her well. I wanted to get some of her stuff, but it's a matter
of figuring out where to start as she had 3 or 4 CDs for sale. Has anyone
picked up any of her stuff? Which one might be a good place to start. I
really dug the first couple she played with Goody in subdued-mode with his
e-bow (on the miniature-looking guitar that almost looked like a mandolin).
Anyway, 'bout it, I guess. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the
Boulder show tonight. Starts too late (the show doesn't start until 10) and
I have to get up too early tomorrow and we lose an hour tonight already
anyway. It's a bummer living an hour away from any place bands'll play, I
tell you. Welp, got work to do. A good ol' freelance design project beckons,
so I'll stop rambling. Have a good one, all...
