Model blonde doesn't really make sense. Bottle Blond is a phrase, right? Doesn't that CD have liner notes? - --Kristen & Douglas Nelson ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 00:00:05 EST From: Shellyus@aol.com Subject: Warner Theatre 10/26 Review{yes...as usual...it's a looonnnggg one *grin*} sorry for the shameful delay....busy week.... ok...those of you tempted to 'unsubscribe', please don't; just don't read this review...stay on the list coz it's a good place to be and don't let me deter you :) coz..yah...i take a -lot- of notes. tis the journalist/PR person in me...sorry!!! {but i know -some- inquiring minds want to know....} Friday afternoon found me tracing my path down 95 to merge with cousin flocks, all in hopes to keep my feathers warm. Coz, damn! It was COLD in DC on Friday!! Anyhoob&I made the now very familiar journey to faerieland and arrived in -plenty- o time to wait for my partner in crime. Since according to Care, 695 was a -mess-, we headed out right away-o. Ok, this was pretty much my official first trip to DC proper for the actual -intent- of going into DC for an event. And though -at- the show Mike proclaimed about bthe districtb , bcome on in, the waterbs fine!b, I must say that DC is a pain to drive in. Another thing though in its defense is that things are still kinda funky-yo down there in the aftermath of the disaster, so I donbt - -totally- fault bthe districtb. I -do- however, fault the drivers there for being nasty to me!!! And ironically, the cop who gave us directions to The Warner was from NYC according to his badge. I felt the need to comment to him that Ibd -much- rather drive in NY than DC. He agreed that itbs confusing. So go me and the NYC cop!!! WORD!!!! ~throws down dope pose ala Eddie~ Seeeeeeeeeoooooob&we find The Warner. We search for parking. We find it in a garage RIGHT across from the theatre at an AMAZINGLY LOW price of $5!! ~boggle~ I mean, in Philly, it costs me like $15 to park near a theatre or venue. So I am like, bwowsers!!!b We go inside and itbs GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean it. I was likeb&.yay!!! As a former theatre person, I admit that I geek out at beautiful Broadway-type houses. And The Warner was lush and beautiful. I got very excited to see the band in this space. We went down to the lower level to the rest rooms and were -most- offended by the fact that there was a MAN using a pay phone that was - -clearly- marked with a sign that said bWomenbs telephonesb. The nerve!!! How DARE???!!! Hebs lucky that we couldnbt find the management or webd have reported his ass!!!!! Okb&.seeeoooo we were pleased to see that the traffic in the Eddie From Ohio Gift Emporium was packed!!! lotsa 9-11 relief CDs and swag flyin!!! yayee!! We saw the always pleasant and fun Paul Sabourin from DVN, said hello, and headed inside to be dazzled. Oh, and dazzled we WERE!!!!!!!! The bfolkinb excellentb folk ensemble took the stage, joined by John Carroll on piano and John Jennings on electric guitar {or bthe wall of Johns soundb, as EFO calls them} Hoots and hollers commence. They break into bNumber 6 Driverb. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. After this is bQuickb. Wheeeeeeeeee!!! After the song, Mike tells us that bwe have not seen a place -this- plush since bThe Muppet Showb! Ibm waiting for some hecklers up in the balcony.{he looks up there}..I see someb&oh waitb&thatbs just the Lincolns!{~note~ The Warner is right down the street from The Fordbs Theatre} Webre gonna rock the place and we have -just- a few moreb& Webre a sextet. I meanb&.b Robbie: bThere are 6 of us.b Mike: bThank you. 6 of us and a room full of math scholars.b They thank us all for coming there to see them instead of going to The National Theatre for that -other- show{The Vagina Monologues was playing} and Mike says that he heard that The National is a dump anyhow. Next, I got -very- excited as they broke into bFly Southb!!! Okb&yball hafta realize that bJUGGLERb is one of my -fave- EFO albums!!! After that, Robbie gave what was to me a very thought-provoking intro to bSanta Margheritab and evoked some thoughts that I had never considered regarding that song. I got slightly teary. Damn this band!!! How -dare -that Robbie Schaefer get me all contemplative on a Friday night when I'm out on the town. hee heee. Next Mike talked about how glad they were to have The 'wall of Johns sound' with them and that John Carroll was a newlywed and that he and his wife invited the whole band and it was a nice affair and they even let the band sing and everything and he thought that was probably what prompted 'last call'. He said "I'm gonna send this one out to them coz there's sure as hell no way this would ever be played at a wedding! And I think they're still registered at Crate & Barrel!" They then played "The Best of Me". I love Robbie's 'wind up' in the nicknames section right before 'big banana'. Next, Mike said "You might wonder what in EFO dictates which requests get heard..I'll tell you, it's simple; cold, hard cash." ~grin~ He announced that there was a birthday and it was party of 26 who were up in the cheap seats because they paid all of the rest of their money to -him. and then they played 'Fifth of July" for the birthday person. yayee!! Next, Robbie did this wonderful dedication for Helen and we all discover that we are bHelenheadsb since we cheered for her{though Robbie says bShebs taken!!b}b&-then- that we were bteacherheadsb when we cheered for the fact that shebs a teacher b&then when we cheered again when he announced she was schooling to be a nurse. He said that she had a book she was studying and she asked him to look at one passage coz she didnbt quite understand it and he said bI had an epiphany~that moment where you realize that your spouse is smarter than you.b Mike said bWait a minute, Robbieb&theybre clapping for any profession!!!! Shebs going to be a drywall specialist!!!!b Then Robbie said how proud of her he was and launched into bWoman of Faithb. After this beautiful number, the following dialogue took place: Mike: Helen, congratulations and as someone who has known Robbie longer than you, Ibd just like to say that, hebs right ; you -are- smarter. That being said, and because -you-{looks to Robbie} have a mind like a sieve, I would like to ask for your help on a matter. Robbie lost me Three Dog Night Greatest Hits album inb&b Robbie: Did not. Mike: Did too Mike: I have the floor, Mr. Schaefer. The -only- reason I havenbt put my turntable on Ebay is the hope that itbll turn up, so I implore you; somewhere in the depths of your house with Robbiebs Boston Red Sox memorabilia is my Three Dog Night album; help me. ~heee heee~ Next, they appropriately went into the Three Dog Night song bShambalab featuring the golden tonsils of John Carroll. Which rocked!!! Lotsa fun!!! After the number Mike inquired bAnd what the hell -is- bShambalab anyway? DISCUSS!b Next was bContinents of Timeb, which I was -most- excited for and had suspected that theybd do it since John Carroll was there. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. After this, Julie did a wonderful intro to bHey Little Manb explaining how she and Greg called Liam this when he was little coz they thought he looked like a little old man and when he slept, he made all these groans and then she came up with this notion that he might be dreaming and she imagined what all he might be dreaming about and was all excited to talk to the doctor about it for his checkup and she told the doctor her theory and he said bNo..itbs probably gas.b She said bBut I decided to keep with the dream thing coz I didnbt know where to go with gas.b bThatbs where -we- come inb, said Mike. Then Eddie popped out from behind the drum riser with his cordless microphone to join them for the song and Mike said bHey look!!! Itbs a member on NbSync come to join us!!b, which Eddie responded to by ~throwing down the dope pose~. WORD TO EDDIE!!!!! OLD SKOOL!!!!! OMG. We were -rolling-!!!! The DVN guys appreciated it as well. Hee hee. The song ended and Mike lauded bJulie MAMA Wells!!!b Next, Robbie said that he understood that there were some Canadians in the house{Canadians???? What is this bCanadianb that you speak of????}and they usually like this song, which went into bStupid Americanb, which made me very happy coz I didnbt think theybd be doing that for a while in light of current global conditions. So yay!!! They said that they had time for one more song then they were gonna take a break and come back for a second set, which Mike said was gonna be in German. bWellb&we are at bThe Varner!!b, proclaimed Mike. "The second half of the show will be exponentially better...especially for you Germans!!" Next, Robbie explained that his sister, Lauren, was tormented from elementary school by this other little girlb&and it was still with her, though she had lost touch with the girl and they were in British schools, and Lauren was a talker, so theybd say she was a bchit-chatb and this little girl Sarah would incessantly torment her and say }~prepare for evil earworm here~} blau-renbs been a naugh-ty girl, lau-renbs been a naugh-ty girlb, and he, being the dutiful brother, wrote a song about the little wench. INTERMISSION!!!!! time for o/b loi-ter-ing in the lob-by o/b and bchit-chatbting After intermission, they broke into bStep Into The Outsideb. Okb&again, I was -thrilled- coz I had been thinking of that song on my drive to balTOImore coz I -love- that song, and I donbt believe I have evah heard it live. So ~swoon~ Okb&.as we all know, I am a geek. I fully admit this. I have admitted this before. I am an emotional simp. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I had been looking forward to what would happen next for weeks. Thinking bhow -kewl- this moment would beb&.They romped into bThe Three Fine Daughters of Farmer Brown.b During the verse before his part, Joe Murphy rose from his seat at the rear of the front section of the theatre and went down center for his big moment. He took a second and raised his arms to bdo the Joeb. And I got all teary. I mean it. I did the Joe and then wiped tears from my eyes. Seeing Joe in front of 700 {or close to that} people standing there so proudly doing his thing, it was very sweet. OOSHIES WOOSHIES!!!!! Julie: bAgain, the largest applause of the evening goes to my father!! SECURITY!!!!!b Mike: bAnd itbs good that he so inconspicuously wore that bwherebs waldob shirt so he was unobtrusive and no one could see him go up there.b Julie: bHow did he get up there anyway? I made SURE his seats were all the way in the BACK of the theatre!!b Mike goes into a commentary about the devastation that still existed in DC and how a lot of people were slightly concerned and leery to travel into DC even thenb&there were people from Virginia even who didnbt want to take the chance of going in to the show and said bgo into bthe District ???!!b and that he hoped that we would tell all our friends to bcom e on in, the waterbs fine!b This lead into him doing lead on bItbs Alrightb. What a great song! After this, Mike said that he is a frequent flyer to Britain and in fact he was going there on Sunday and one day he woke up to the hip station on a clock radio in a bed & breakfast and the first thing he heard was btoday webre talking about why we hate Americans!b, on a talk-show, which was followed by people expressing -why- they hated Americans and he felt like pulling the covers back up over his head and not going outside after all. He said after that, he went out to some of the publick houses and bbelieve it or not tried to NOT speak!b He then commended Tony Blair and some of the shows of support he has shown our country in these troubled times and said that his hat goes off to him and that he had that country all wrong. He announces that his first teacher was in the house up on the balcony with his parents and we could blame everything on her. He dedicated the next song to her. Abraham. Just Mike and Robbie alone on stage. ~Tears~. Man. ~rewind here to me saying before that I am an emotional simp~ Coz i love that song. After this they bring the room back up and do a funny intro to bTommy The Canexicanb explaining that it was picked up before by a mainstream station in Boston {to which Mike replied, bKa-CHING!!! Like my new shoes???b} and Robbie said that they try to avoid Boston because they ask bwhy doesnbt Mike sing more?b Mike states itbs because he can bthrow his voiceb Mike sent it out to bhis new friend, Laura, who is 5 and her Mom said she LIKES this song!b Mike: bItbs more proof of thebRobbie vs. Raffib syndrome; Robbie draws the high-brow crowd and I appeal to the under-5 set.b Robbie: bThe beard scares themb Mike: bAND it tickles!!b Groans, of course, abounded at this point. Mike: bHey!! Go to the National!!!!b Robbie: bYou want clean, go to The Fordbs Theatre!!!b After this came bBookendsb. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Then the wonderfully beautiful and even -more- special and significant than before bOh My Brotherb, which has a new -be-you-ti-ful- intro by John Carroll. I mean itb&.wowsa!!! those of you who have bought/are buying the 9-11 relief CD will see what I mean. After this, they did Bob Dylanbs bDonbt think twice, itbs alrightb, which, I had admittedly not heard before, but wow. After hearing this cover 3 times this weekend, I am -lovin- it!! It has now become an earworm for me. Mike thanked all of the staff at The Warner and, of course, Kermit and Miss Piggy. ~grin~ Next, we were instructed to bgive it up for the Eddie From Ohio Hartness monologue!!!!!b Gladly. Eddie received a MUCH deserved standing ovation for it. When the rest of the band came back out, Robbie bowed to Eddie and Mike stated bEddie is our leader!!!b ala space aliens..heehee. Next, Robbie said that he felt that we were friends at this point , so webd do what all friends do at a folk concert; sing along!! This led into bCandido and Americab, which Care and I joked about the DVN doods bstormingb{no pun intended} the stage to sing their part of the chorusb&heee heeee. We were sure that they knew what to sing, at least. ~grin~ Next, bthe wall of Johnsb took a well-earned union break and went off-stage {during which Robbie told them bdonbt drink all the beverages!!!b} They launched into bOld Dominionb and wheeeeeeeeee!!!! Yay energy!!!!!!! As most of you know, I always LOVE this number!!! Rollicking fun and excitement and clapping along and fun stuff. After this, Mike thanked the gentleman responsible for getting them in there, making sure to point out that bIt isnbt easy to get in here; you gotta know The Muppets and stuff.b They closed with bAmerica the Beautifulb, which they have been doing since Sept. 11th. After that, they came back out to MUCH applause and did another sing-along, bTon Burleighbs deadb. Lotsa people started swaying and mock-toasting. Hee hee. Mike said that they each had their own personal history with the Warner Theatre and seeing things there while growing up; Robbie had seen something or someone there and -he- saw bAnnieb {according to Robbie, he still has the red wig. ~grin~} And what a beautiful space it was.{bear in mind i am a former theatre geek, as stated before} They closed with bDown To The River To Prayb. Okb&ever since I heard them do this at Falcon Ridge this summer in the Gospel Wake-Up call, I have loved it. In fact, it was what clinched me FINALLY going out and buying that soundtrack. I have been very excited that it is on the b9-11 Relief CDb. They did a wonderful job, as always, and left the stage. ok.....still gotta work on typing up the fun , mayhem, and EFO goodness that was Saturday Night at The Point, so bear with me! ------------------------------ End of edheads-digest V4 #264 *****************************
