REVIEW: Cornerstone 7/4/98


	Here's my review for the show at Cornerstone.  It was nifty.  :)

	By the way, I'm hoping to revise my history page by adding some 
graphics, frames and some other goodies to make it a neater place to visit.
You can visit the not-so-interesting "Over the Rhine History page" as we
speak at:

	Also, if anyone taped the show at C-stone, I'd LOVE to hear from
you.  You could make me a very happy person.  :)

	Read on!

OVER THE RHINE at CORNERSTONE ENCORE TENT
JULY 4, 1998

	Shortly after the fireworks had stopped over Cornerstone lake, 
the band took the stage and did some fireworks of their own to an appreciative
audience at the Encore tent.  The show started about ten minutes after 
midnight.

	From left to right, Terri, Karin, and Linford stood front stage.
Linford had two keyboards stacked to his right and a cabinet for the 
Hammond organ in front.  In the back from left to right, Jack had a 
slide guitar set up, but played his Gretch most of the night, Brian was behind 
the glass wall on drums, and Wade hid behind Linford playing bass.

	Hair Report:
	Terri:  Up
	Karin:  Very short!  Don't know if it's a new hair style of not.
	Linford: Cut short (kinda like Good Dog, Bad Dog)  No noticiable
                 tatoos from where I was sitting, by the way.
	Jack: 	Still looks like Sting.  

	THE SET LIST
	(Not many surprises to regulars, but read on to the encores...)

-FAITHFULLY DANGEROUS
-TUMBLEWEEDS
	Karin plays accoustic guitar.  After the song she warns us the we 
	are being used as guinea pigs for new songs.  Someone in the audience
	yells "we can't hear you!"  She coyly points to the soundboard and says,
	"Tell him."
-SEAHORSE
	Terri plays violin and Karin plays accoustic.  Haunting guitar tones
	from Jack, it was beautiful.  The song has an extended ending.
-ALL I NEED IS EVERYTHING
	Terri plays violin and Karin plays Accoustic
-ETC. WHATEVER
	Jack plays a Fender, (I think?) and Karin plays accoustic guitar.
-EVERYMAN'S DAUGHTER
	Jack on the Fender again.  Terri on violin and Karin plays accoustic.
	After the song, Karin remarks that this the first show with Jack  
	being "legal" in the US.  The rest of the shows, he has been here
 	on "vacation time!"
-I WILL REMEMBER
	Jack on Fender and Slide Guitar.  Brian had some nice drum work on top
	of Jack's rippin' Slide.
	
	Karin talks a little about the Cowboy Junkies tour.  She and Linford
	have just returned from Toronto rehearsing with them and doing some
	promotional work.

-MOTH
	Jack on the Gretch again.  Karin played her Red Rick.
-WHATEVER YOU SAY
	Karin back on the accoustic guitar.
-ANYWAY
	Karin talks about how this song came about from meeting her half
	sister at her father's funeral.
-POUGHKEEPSIE
	Jack on the Fender while Karin played accoustic guitar.
	Karin wishes a happy birthday to a friend named Emma.
-AND CAN IT BE
-GOODBYE
	Jack plays the Gretch and Karin plays the Red Rick.  Fools the     
	audience with the fake ending as they started clapping!

ENCORE
	The crowd stood and cheered for an encore and the band obligated.
Nobody under the tent sat down again until it was all over.

-JACK'S VALENTINE
	Jack finally cuts loose on the Gretch and boy did it sound great!
	Most of the audience knew the words and voiced them along with him.
-LUCY
	Karin plays accoustic guitar.
-LATTER DAYS
	Jack plays the Fender and Terri plays violin.       

SECOND ENCORE
	Karin thanks us for being guniea pigs for the new stuff and introduces
the whole band mentioning Wade Jayne's previous work with Chagall Guevara and
introducing Linford as "the man wooing women over there!"

- KARIN'S INTRO -> RHAPSODIE
- GO DOWN EASY

	After Karin's voice was raised, the mix was just right!  I had
been complaining about how loud the other concerts at Cornerstone had been,
but this show was perfect from where I was sitting.  Karin did all the 
speaking, except for Jack's Valentine, but everyone seemed in good spirits 
and everyone was smiling a lot.  They all seem excited about the Cowboy
Junkies tour.  Todd mentioned that Linford and Karin _might_ join the 
Junkies on TV for appearances on Good Morning America and such to promote
the tour.  Keep your fingers crossed.  


	Still humming those tunes,
