Given the choice between seeing a

after the other or seeing Over the Rhine debut five or six new songs,
I'd eagerly buy a ticket for the second. Anyone agree? Disagree?
Oh, I absolutely agree. Everytime I see them I hope/dream/pray that they'll play something new though I don't really expect those hopes to be fulfilled. At the same time though, there is so much that I haven't heard them play from Patience that I'd dig that show too. In particular, I'd love to hear "I've Been Slipping" sometime. Personally, I think it's sad that songs from TWHF, Patience and Eve are played so rarely. Sometimes it seems that the band has forgotten that they've released more than 2 albums...
I think the ideal would be to have some balance. Play some of the stuff from GDBD and FFR for those who only care about it, but mix in both older songs and brand new songs.
