versions of things was immense.
((it really was, it was one of the few gigs that actually leftme breathless.
Discounting the Delirious? show, because stupidly we found ourselves in the
front centre, crushed by people at least six foot tall.Consequently the
friend sharing my tent is now on crutches with a sprained ligament - but
still talking about how wonderful greenbelt was, mainly due to the stripped
down OtR songs. ))

Very true. I was taken aback at how very different and melchony it sounded,
then, after listening to the album version it puzzled me how it *didn't*
sound that way on the album. Something of that version crawled inside me
and stayed: that was precisely how I felt that night.
*sigh*

*cries* I really wanted to hear etc, whatever live. I didn't know they were
playing a smaller acoustic set. *whines* Was it at stage two, inside the
grandstand, the venue where everyone sits on the floor?If I'd known I'd have
badgered my supervisors to let me steward that venue. As it happened, I was
closing the Iona community worship, feeling oh-so very peaceful then ended
up trying to keep track of the humanic tent on youth Punk worship!(It's
frightening, very scary.)
one of the other stewards on my team was talking about a late night acoustic
set and wanted to know who they were, only he couldn't remember what songs
they sang. I thought it was Kristen Winter and Chris Pierce, since there
were only two. Speaking of which, did you see that gig?It was beautiful.
All in all, over the Rhine were my absolute highlights, along with Julie Lee
and my oh-so glamorous job of being a bright neon yellow clad human barrier
standing alongside Rowan Williams for two hours on Sunday at communion.
funfunfun!!
Oh, did anyone here go to the Wales concert?*it's killing me to think that
as I tyope, OtR are in my very own country but because of our idyosintric
railway system I can't get there.
wow. that has to be my longest mail to this list yet!
*hugs*
