OtR at Greenbelt UK 2002
Greenbelt 2002 ::Kiss of Life:: set list:-
They played about a fifty minute set on a large arena stage, with Brian
Kennedy opening (who became exacberated by his guitar and took to singing
unaccompanied, the perfect setting for OtR. ) Karin commented on the
recording later this year, and hinted at Jack’s singing skills being the
reason for his lack of microphone (I have to hear the solo CD now!)
Latter Days (stripped down, absolutely amazing)
Bothered
Anything at all
I Radio Heaven (stripped down completely.)
Roll Me Over (extended - stripped down beginning, built up by Jack at the
end.)
All I need is Everything (stripped down again)
The World Can Wait (built up again at the end)
Jack’s Valentine (extended, wonderful, wonderful solo’s by Jack)
Orphan Girl (just Karin and Linford.)
I do have photographs (I was at the very front, how perfect for my first
live concert) but haven’t developed them yet.
It was utterly wonderful -I had no idea - even from the comments on this
list how beautiful OtR are live. When I looked around, mid-the world can
wait, the crowd was utterly enthralled. That was quite rare in the venues.
The friend I was with said after the concert ‘Oh, you never told me how
amazing they were. You never told me.’ (and I didn’t know. I need to move
to America, I need OtR live!)
I’m not sure if I can listen to the CD’s again for a while without hearing
the way Karin formed the words in the concert. I’ve never heard such passion
and freedom in live shows before; and the piano was heavenly. Jack’s solo’s
inevitably resulted in masses of applause and after the gig, (when I sadly
had to go back to work, so couldn’t go to the signing) people kept asking me
who the amazing band on stage one were. (Yay - blatant plug
opportunities!and I was at the concert for free in return for working as a
Steward *smiles*)
I sang right to the end of my 2:30am shift, woke up for the early morning
shift still grinning with a very smudgy set list scrawled on my hand (and
imprinted on my cheek) and I completely forgot the problems of having
soaking wet clothes (lesson one: never, ever, even when there’s not a cloud
in sight ,leave your tent door open. Lesson two: don’t trust backpacks that
claim to be waterproof. Lesson three: never work outside directing traffic
without taking a rainmac. No matter how gloriously sunny it may be. )
I’m really disappointed that OtR are playing in Wales tomorrow night, about
ninety miles away in Dylan Thomas country, but I can’t get there, and our
sporadic public transport won’t take me close enough, and would cost me over
eighty pound. I need a car too. *whines*
Okay, enough fanaticism,
Tash
(tired, without feet but thoroughly contented. )
