Canal Street Review + Note to those going tonight!



I went to the Canal Street show last night, it was great stuff.

Susan Enan opened, I liked her even more this time around and finally bought 
the EP.  Great sounding stuff.

Another opener was Jen Chapin who had a great voice, and she played with 
just an upright bassist who was also technically great.  I couldn't stand 
watching them though.  It was like they were taught in music school how to 
physically emote, and after a third of a song it seemed like they were doing 
some Mad TV skit instead of a real show.  Her lyrics were not so good 
either.  But hey, at least it wasn't The Children's Hour.

OtR took to the floor pretty late, and kicked off to a peppy start.  It was 
amazing they could fit as much gear as they did onto that tiny Canal Street 
stage.  No vibes and no sitar, but the rest seemed to be there.

The set:

Bothered
Show Me
She
Nobody #1
Suitcase
Jesus In New Orleans
Anything At All
Lifelong Fling/Ain't No Sunshine
Ohio
Professional Daydreamer
All I Need Is Everything
Orphan Girl
When I Go

My Love Is A Fever
Cruel + Pretty
Changes Come

The only two I didn't like better live were Suitcase and Anything At All.  
Dunno why.  They didn't do it for me.

OK, at any rate - I'm committed at a party tonight and can't make the show, 
but SOMEONE, for the love of sod, PLEASE take detailed notes!  What was 
played, and how, etc..  Tonight is going to be a goofy show, Paul Moak 
(guitarist extraordinaire) is heading home for his grandparents' 60th 
wedding anniversary.  So it likely will be a strange strange event tonight.  
Gimme details!!  Let me know who plays what, etc.  K+L said it likely will 
be a quite modified set from the rest of the tour.

Tryin' to hit the ground with both feet running,
B
