zayne

zayne, will be great to see you sunday in your home turf of nashville.
it will be our first ever visit there. see you then.

Ahhh...if only I could find a ride

I won't be making it down for the show, but I'm hoping I'll have gotten my niece home from the county fair before the radio show airs. I'll try to record it, if I can, but I don't know if I have the tools to make it work with a timer.

Nice sweet show at the bookstore tonight.

I'm going to make every effort to record this show!

Jeff

Keep your eyes peeled, Kent! We'll be there, too. Hope to meet you, in person.

We'll be leaving in the morning for Nashville! I'm excited...

a great show again last night at the dame. 2 nights in a row of wonderful music and good friends.
and one more to go yet tonight in nashville. its been so great to see everyone this trip, and to meet some new
(to me) apples. and we'll get to meet some more tonight.
these shows have been just incredible.
heading down nashville way in a few hours. we're gonna be some real tired peeps come monday.
so tired, but so worth it.

we're on our way...

Anyone else attempting to listen at the link above and getting something thats not, well, it's not a live concert.

its almost 8 in Nashville....the WLRT Music Business Radio program is ending. I assume the concert is up next.

oh...oddly enough I forgot about the time difference... thanks.

Yay, I'm listening live! I'm sorry I missed Swan Dive, though.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting everything. I'll probably upload it sometime this week (although I ought to edit this one before putting it out there...I have nearly an hour of other broadcasted stuff before the opening act even starts!)

Enjoyed the show online while chatting with stivmc and jucysdaughter

This is my first opportunity to hear the new songs performed live with the full band. While the studio work on TTC is amazing in its musicianship, this band line-up and the live arrangements are absolutely wonderful. The songs may be new, the supporting cast different, but this show was so freaking Over the Rhine in its flavor and texture that it proves they are one of THE best bands to see live.....EVER!!!. If you were debating to see them on this tour.....this broadcast should remove all doubts. I sure would like to get a copy.

Thanks for listening with me,

David

I'd have to agree with the previous rave. Amazing show - the band is six piece again and this guy who plays fiddle/violin and pedal steel was an inspired choice.

Here are my notes - I probably mispelled the names of everybody backing Karin and Linford, but this should give you a little bit of a better idea of what went on and how much of this I was able to record:

firstWRLT(2).wma has stuff from before the show and most (all?) of the opening act. firstWRLT(1).wma was exactly the same, so it has been deleted.

secondWRLT(1).wma and secondWRLT(2).wma start before all this:
radio intro
I Don't Want to Waste Your Time
I'm On A Roll
Entertaining Thoughts
-crowd banter (Linford)
Let's Spend the Day in Bed
-crowd banter (Linford)-
Nothing Is Innocent
-crowd banter (Linford)- (secondWRLT(1).wma cuts out in here)
The Trumpet Child (thirdWRLT(1).wma starts here, but cuts out during the following banter at the same time as secondWRLT(2).wma)
-crowd banter (Karin)- (secondWRLT(2).wma hiccups for about 30 seconds about an hour in)
Trouble
-crowd banter (Karin)-
Ohio (band version)
-band introduction (Karin)-
Juicy, Brandon, and the merch guy
band:
Brad Jones (guitars)
Fatz Caplin (Pedal steel/violin/fiddle)
Molly Felder (from Swan Dive, on background vocals)
Jake Bradley (guitar, upright bass, electric bass)
Mickey Grim (Drums, Dirty jokes)
Karin (vocals, guitars, cookie sheet)
Linford (keys, vocals)
Don't Wait For Tom
-banter (K&L)-
If A Song Could Be President
Drunkard's Prayer
radio ending
secondWRLT(2).wma and thirdWRLT(1).wma end with a feature on Ringo Starr

This file has all of Over the Rhine's set in Windows Media Audio format. No editing has been done - you have to skip ahead a bit to get to Over the Rhine (regular radio rotation makes up the beginning of this file - hey, there's some Fleming and John in there!). The file is 30.53 MB, but it sounds pretty clear on my cheap built-in laptop speakers. The hiccup mentioned above hasn't been fixed at all either (unless there's another source for that portion, or somebody spots other issues with this file, I don't plan on doing any editing). If anybody wants to Internet Archive this, I'm all for it.

I have this at the tail end of the first file I recorded. It's 93 minutes long and Swan Dive plays for 20 minutes near the end of it. I don't think I have WMA editing software handy, but let me know if you (or anyone else, for that matter) wants the raw recording from the feed - I should be able to upload that to YouSendIt.

You guys are *so* the bomb for recording this for those of us who couldn't make it! I can't exactly complain - 3 shows in 3 days (since being local we got to see them at Joseph Beth, then at Moonlite Gardens and last night at the Dame) has been incredible! But we *had* hoped to make it to Nashville - work schedules interfered.

Thanks again!

sweet show. very sweet.

i'm going to bed. more in the morning (oops, it is morning) afternoon...

From our first show seeing Over the Rhine at 3rd and Lindsley on May 29, 2005 followed by three subsequent Nashville shows, last night's show at this same venue seemed to herald the birth of a band with an all new mission statement about their music: let's have some fun! Bear in mind, that this imperative was announced from the stage by Karin at the beginning of the show, and what a delightful musical noise it was.

During our drive home from the show last night, my wife and I discussed how dramatic the Drunkard's Prayer shows had been and wondered how much of a toll it may have been for Karin and Linford to re-live the emotions from which those cathartic songs sprung, night after night. I'll never forget looking around at the rapt audience during our first show, mouthing the words as if saying a prayer. I remember asking my wife, afterwards, if it hadn't felt like being in church.

On the other hand, The Trumpet Child songs, even with their occasional messages of unrest, are a continuation of our very American tradition of singing through our pain. The dichotomy of Saturday night and Sunday morning lives on in these songs, and the celebration epitomized by the show that ensues is a fever that you can't sit still for. Karin and Linford are long overdue to just let down their hair and throw their passion into celebrating themselves and their music, and they have invited us along for the ride. Bless you, two!


So ... we're second in line behind a girl named Elena who's never seen the band before and has only heard Drunkard's Prayer, when Bill comes walking up with a couple. About that time, Karin and Linford step outside the door to see them, and my wife and I walk over to give Karin the gift we brought her and Linford. Karin and Linford love this gift! It's this dog sculpture that my wife put a leash and collar on. Karin says, " It's like a Grammy for dogs," and we all crack up. Then, Karin invites us all to come on in a grab a table, so we do. Thanks for the invitation, Karin. It was awfully hot out there!

We pick our table and start chatting with each other. It turns out the couple with Bill are Kent and his wife, Sue. It was nice to meet you guys. We enjoyed the conversation with you, both. Before the soundcheck starts to get underway, my daughter and I scooted back to the dressing room, and I asked Karin and Linford if I could get them to sign my guitar. They both asked "Are you sure about this?" and I told them, "Absolutely." My guitar is a 1906 Washburn parlor guitar. Then, Linford gave it a try which was very cool. He is quite a fine guitarist. Thanks for the autographs! Afterwards, Brad Jones remembered me from the last Nashville show and re-introduced himself. What a nice guy!

It was nice to meet some new apples, this time. Keith and I talked for a little while, and I really enjoyed our conversation. I particularly got a kick out of meeting Kylie who apparently has thought I was a woman, all along! I also saw Roger and Zayne, too.


The last show we saw, Swan Dive was opening for them then, too, and we really enjoyed them. I really like their retro style and the bossa nova disc is killer!

Swan Dive 8 pm

Lonesome Town (?)
Quiet Song
Shining Hour

This lineup of musicians with OtR was very nice. I especially enjoyed Brad Jones on guitar and Fats Kaplin on steel. Molly Felder sang some good background vocals, too. Once again, the guys are all in black suits and Karin had on a slinky black dress with a serious belt on it.

Then Karin says, "I've never been given one of these, before," pulls out the dog sculpture, and says "We want to thank the American Kennel Club," and the house comes down!

She thanks us for the sculpture and there's some conversation about the guys in the band already deciding they should put it on the van like a hood ornament. I holler out, "I was thinking about the piano." Karin says "Linford might feel intimidated by that." There's some more laughter about that with some remark from Mickey that I didn't quite catch, and Karin says "I didn't mean it, that way."

Hush Now
Off The Rails


What a fantastic show! If you haven't seen them before, this is the tour to see!

If anyone got a recording of this entire show, please PM me! Thanks.

I had a feeling that they had probably kept going beyond the on-air portion.

Do they play any pre-OHIO songs anymore?

I'd love to hear it, if you want to post it, thanks.

I was taping OTR's set and left the room to get something to eat, and apparently lost my radio connection as Karin was introducing Trouble. When I walked back in, I noticed I had no sound and restarted the stream as she was introducing Ohio. Interestingly, it seems to be at the same spot where your recording "hiccuped," although the sound didn't come back for me when Trouble started.

I'm hoping someone who was there managed to record the whole show, because I always like to hear Who'm I Kiddin & Off The Rails. I'm really glad that Don't Wait For Tom made the broadcast portion of the show. (It was really a joy to see --and sing along with-- live last Friday.)

...but you'll have to skip ahead for a bit over an hour to get to Swan Dive.

Thanks, Danny. I really appreciate it!

quite a group, a few newbies a lotta oldbies...



*we didn't know the guy at the bar that was looking over his shoulder and probably thinking *who the hell are those fools?*

Sounds like a great holiday! Wish I could have done to road trip for it all!

Very nice review. Thank you. Lets hope they still have some energy left in late October.

They did play a pre-Ohio song at Moonlight Gardens on Friday, Aug 31.

To my surprise they played And Can It Be
I would love to hear more oldies myself!

A note from Elayna Boynton, a musician and new OtR fan some of us befriended while waiting outside of 3rd & Lindsley Sunday night:

I was soooo overwhelmed with how wonderful they were live I couldn't even think-- well you saw how I was when it was over, I was like a vegetable!

I did in fact find her still sitting stunned in her chair about 20 minutes after the show ended.

here's a couple photos from 3rd and L in Nashville,
taken with my new KarinCam (its Bill's old camera)
