Back on Planet Earth: Thanks to those people who wrote in reviews of the Birchmere show! It's nice to hear that everything in EFO-land is ship-shape. I'm looking forward to hearing the new songs. Only 13 1/2 weeks until Falcon Ridge, only 13 1/2 weeks until Falcon Ridge... (I got ticket number 42!) I have acquired a CD burner! Would anybody like to trade shows? The only EFO show I have on CD is the South Main Cafe show from way back, but I do have some Fruvous shows on CD. I'm particularly looking for the Last Bad Habits Show (my parent flaked on me; Jonathan Schultz, if you're reading this, go ahead and consider those CD-Rs a gift), but just about any would be cool. - --nicole twn *** "I vote to protect the environment."--bumper sticker seen on an SUV Visit Nicolopolis! http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn nmcarlson@ucdavis.edu ana.ng@tmbg.org carlsonn@seclab.cs.ucdavis.edu ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2000 18:27:20 -0400 From: Seth Hornstein Subject: EFO: Birchmere reviews Well, as possibly the only edhead (or is that ednoid??) that attended both shows I have a few comparisons/comments to make. Unfortunately, I must start by griping that the two shows were EXACTLY THE SAME!!! With the exception of Sahara and Woman of Faith being played the second night replacing Bones of a Lifetime (I think) and something else (I forget what ) they were the same shows. I was a little disappointed (this probably being my last time seeing them in their home state of Virginia or anywhere on the east coast for that matter) but quickly got over it. *Great Day (a seemingly perfect theme opener) was a new one that I had never heard live before. *One of the benefits of attending both shows was that Mike told a different part of the story of the origin of Monotony. Monotony, which by the way is an excellent song is, one of the two new unrecorded songs they played at the show. *The other new song they played was #6 Driver. As always I am amazed by Robbie's song writing talent. Not that it is any better or worse than Mike's but Robbie's songs always seem much deeper and majestic. That being said, I have to re-comment that I thought monotony was absolutely hilarious and both songs quickly jumped to my top ten favorites. *One comment on Operator. They added a new upbeat ending to the song. Just when you think it is over, eddie starts a fast beat on the drums and the band launches into "Give me Jesus" routine. The funniest thing about this medley is that it quite interesting to see Robbie's Star of David bouncing around as he plays the quick melody while his only lines are "Give Me Jesus!" Maybe I am overplaying this a bit, but I just found it quite humorous! *Set Two was just a great as the first with a few other surprises thrown in. Including Julie and Eddie leaving the stage to leave Mike and Robbie to sing Abraham. (Anyone know if this is a Mike original or a cover?) They then returned and then Robbie and Julie went straight into The Water is Wide...excellent! *Eddie's Drum solo: Both nights they had both his bongos set up and his regular drum set. And both nights his solo included him moving from one set to the other. I wonder if this is going to become a regular setup now that they are incorporating the regular drums into more of their songs... Or maybe a perk reserved only for the bigger stages they play on... *Then came the raffle/door prize that has already been discussed. What was being given away was two four-packs of tickets to the Fairfax folk festival (I don't remember the exact name but that was basically the idea.) The first night the tickets were taped underneath the chairs and the second night they were taped under the table right in front of the winning seats. The second set of tickets were never claimed on the second night so you never know, check underneath the table in front of you the next time you are at the Birchmere! :) *Finally, Irish Dream was definitely a great song to see live. *One thing is for certain, over the break Mike did not lose a bit of his comedic banter. I think he was better the second night than the first but both nights were quite entertaining. That being said the Doin' Time from the first night was quite possibly the best rendition of that song I have ever heard. And the second night jumps right up there in the rankings as the second funniest I have ever heard! well, that's about it. Here's the set lists: Set 1: Great Day One Stupid American Margot Fontaine Bones of a Lifetime (replaced by Sahara on the second night) Monotony Imagine Me Bookends #6 Driver Operator Set2: Old Dominion I Don't Think I Know Me Maylee I Had A Dream This My Town Abraham The Water is Wide Eddie Solo Rolling Pin Doin' Time Under the Lifeguard Stand Three Fine Daughters Eddie's Concubine Irish Dream Suite: Judy Blue Eyes (with Karen and Pete) - ----------------------- Seth Hornstein The Tactical Officer of "The Battleship - U.S.S.
