Over the Rhine, Knoxville TN, Feb 23, 2002...Fantastic Show!
Having just returned from another fabulous OtR show, I
feel compelled to share it here. :)
Blue Cats is a relatively new establishment that has
brought the likes of Cowboy Junkies, Jonatha Brooke,
and now OtR to Knoxville. The normally rowdy college
crowd that you usually find in this town was
transplanted tonight with a cadre of quiet, respectful
twenty-somethings, thirty somethings and even a few
older than that. In fact, as I came down to the front
of the stage, I was quite amazed to see almost all of
the house huddled in a semi circle on bar stools and
on the actual floor in front of Jack, Karin and
Linford as they weaved the magic we all know so well.
As I was leaving, I even heard the lady working the
door remark "it's nice not to have the place trashed
after a show--these were some really nice people here
tonight." It's interesting to note too, that I had
already met her earlier in the day when I came down to
hang a few posters. She introduced herself as being
"hospitality," and said she could tell at least two
things about the band by the list of items they had
requested: 1) they were cool people, and 2) there had
to be a female in the band, since one of things on the
list was "good red wine".
I could go on and on really about the evening, but
most probably no one would read much past this anyway,
so here's the set list. It was a little hard to pay
attention at times since I was selling merchandise,
but I loved meeting the most interesting people who
came up to the table. I had no idea the band had such
a following in Tennessee.
Setlist written in Linford's hand on the front of an
envelope:
