To answer the obvious question first, they did indeed play "Old Dominion" at both shows, closing with it at Breckenridge and opening at the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. Okay, in order: Friday night, Breckenridge. It's a beautiful town, about 10,000 feet above sea level, so the farm jokes that dominate whenever they're in Iowa were replaced by jokes about oxygen deprivation (my car, which protested at having to go faster than 45 at that altitude, would sympathize). They did almost every song from _Quick_, and sang a beautiful version of "America the Beautiful" for an encore. Off-stage highlights included a little boy before the concert announcing "Well, I'm Cody from Minnesota!", and four small children poking their heads up over the edge of the stage, which was about as tall as them, during "Great Day" -- from the second row you could just see the backs of these four little heads sticking up. Saturday evening, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, Lyons: I couldn't actually see the stage during EFO's set, but they had a whole bunch of people dancing just behind the sound tent for most of the show. Funniest moment: a thousand or so people waving at the "ATF sniper" on top of the cliff next to the festival area (I have no idea who that guy was. Some park ranger?). EFO was on just before Greg Brown, who seems to be a pretty big celebrity in the area -- a bunch of people stayed for his set but cleared out before Arlo Guthrie, who played for a great hour and a half or so. No "Alice's Restaurant" (which I understand he hates playing), but considering how many great songs he packed into that extra half hour, I doubt anybody was disappointed. Robbie and Mike seem to have this thing going where they try and make Julie laugh during the "He says he'll leave his wife!" section of "Eddie's Concubine" - they suceeded on Friday but she resisted on Saturday; I couldn't hear what they said either time (though if anyone else was there and did manage to make it out, I'd love to know. It muct've been pretty damn funny).

This has pretty much nothing to do with EFO, but I was wondering if anyone in the D.C. area (or beyond...*grins at Shelly*) will be heading to the Da Vinci's Notebook show at the Birchmere this Saturday. Last time they played the Birchmere, back in February, Robbie opened, and Mike and Eddie showed up as well, creating what Mike referred to as, "The Penis Monologues." Even without EFO goodness, tho, it promises to be an *amazing* show -- lots of fun and silliness, and songs about parts of the male anatomy. :) Maybe we'll see some of you there?

It threatens to be, well, enormous. - -T Oh, and thanks for the reviews of the CO shows. I try to see EFO *outside* the DC area whenever I can, as the vibe is much different when they're playing to the home town crowd. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2001 12:02:43 EDT From: Shellyus@aol.com Subject: Re: DVN at Birchmere Carey wrote: This has pretty much nothing to do with EFO, but I was wondering if anyone in the D.C. area (or beyond...*grins at Shelly*) will be heading to the Da Vinci's Notebook show at the Birchmere this Saturday. well...isn't Paul on the Edhead list? i'm -sure- that HE'LL be there. *grin* shell {who's at work...combing the want-ads, faxing resumes and hoping to get OUT!!} 'well, actually, Dar is -highly- uneducated'--robbie ------------------------------ End of edheads-digest V4 #177 *****************************
