Full Version: OtR @ The Ryman
...
what an amazing night. it was short, far too short. but they were stoked and inspired. and inspiring.
there was a great, respectful and appreciative crowd of about +/-1,800 and the ryman holds +/-2,400, so not sold out but still a nice size audience. there must be quite a few of ani's die hards following this tour, when karin introduced "born" and "drunkard's prayer," both got great applause and most others seemed recognized.
it started with a powerful "i don't wanna waste" and an early on admission, by a grinning from ear-to-ear & admittedly "twitterpated" karin (then she wondered if if that was the first time "twitterpated" was used on the ryman stage) of... "yeah, it's our first time" and it ended with the beautiful "motherless child," playing to a drop dead quiet house. this song is stunning. maybe their best cover ever. and a standing ovation. at the ryman.
juicy worked his usual magic. the sound was pristine. perfect. as i've said about the ryman before, you don't just "hear it," it wraps around you and swallows you whole. great night juicy, jake, linford and karin. thank you.
pics will be up tomorrow.
