Ah, I figured you must have been there somewhere Genevieve!  Great new key 
change in Christmas is Coming, didn't you think? ;)

We also heard Hometown Boy (which they opened with), an incredible 
performance of All I Ever Get for Christmas is the Blues, a great duet 
arrangement (Karin on piano and Matt Slocum on cello) for Give Me Strength, 
and Cruel & Pretty in the encore.  Susan Enan also did a great job warming 
up.  I suspect they would have done a second encore, but Linford told me 
Karin was feeling pretty queasy thanks to her lunch at a truckstop Taco Bell 
Express en route to NY.

Ironically enough, my only NYC friend who is into OtR (thanks to me) 
recently moved to Cincy, and my wife doesn't do concerts on weeknights, so I 
went solo.  However, I hooked up with a guy who drove all the way down from 
Pittsfield, MA to see them (with his date) after seeing their show at 
Northampton in September, and another relatively new fan who came in from 
central NJ for the show.  None of us went home disappointed!

It's snowing like mad here, hope they made it to Baltimore OK...

Keith from NY
