OTR/WNKU show

["Bruce Lachey" <b_lachey at hotmail_com>]

Went to the Studio 89/WNKU taping tonight - it was pretty busy, I'd say 
maybe 50+ attendees for the show in the small studio.  There was a Baldwin 
grand and two acoustics, they switched it up pretty well and stuck to mostly 
new material.

They played:

Hometown Boy (L piano, K vocal and acoustic)
What I'll Remember Most (L acoustic, K vocal)
What I'll Remember Most (same)
Anything At All (L piano, K vocal and acoustic)
Suitcase (L acoustic, K vocal and percussion)
Fever (same)
Show Me (K+L acoustic and vocal)
Ohio (K piano and vocal)
Hometown Boy (same as earlier)

An WNKU assistant at the soundboard was mic'd into the mix for the first 
song, it wasn't noticed until mid way through What I'll Remember Most, so 
they played it again.  For Suitcase+Fever, Karin played some kind of halo of 
bells that she shifted from hand to hand on the beat.  The piano sounded 
great, and the rerecord of Hometown Boy sounded so great.

Hometown Boy is the same song as Norwood Boy, played a while back at Canal 
Street and perhaps others.  What I'll Remember Most is slow, with a great 
verse lyric, "This American dream may be poisonous - Violence is contagious. 
  Crowded or empty - I walk these city streets alone." and then there was 
some math involved too, lots of percentages.  Math lyrics always perk me up. 
  Anything At All was similar to the mp3 of the month from way back, but the 
piano sounded really regal, with a drawn out menacing low part added during 
the last verse.  Suitcase was almost as great live as on the mp3 offered at 
paste.com - Fever was just as great as always live, if you've been lucky 
enough to see it.  Show Me was peppy and Linford did nicely on the harmony 
vocals.

Started just after 7 and lasted until just before 8.  Mostly a subdued show, 
great audience (mostly me - I was great).  Haha.  Questions and answers and 
banter was low, some talk about the freedom of recording/releasing music 
free of label pressure, some talk of the songwriting process, and the 
upcoming Coney show.

Catch the edited down version on 14 August at 88.7 WNKU in the greater 
Cincinnati area (either 8PM or 9PM EST), or listen online at 
http://www.wnku.org/

I am glad they are releasing a big time album, because they were wearing 
kindof 70s style clothes..  Haha..  Perhaps K+L were fresh from a Phish 
show.

Unapologetic for the Over The Rhine content - you can't make me feel guilty,
Bruce
