For those who weren't there: Natalie MacMaster was incredible. I'd never heard of her before, but she was worth the price of admission alone, esp. when she jammed with EFO during their set. Try to imagine a riverdancing fiddler who looks like a cross between Shirley Temple and Jewel... EFO started slow, imo. Julie didn't seem to be into the first few songs...she was singing them as if she was tired of the same old songs. There were also some sound issues...I've had that before at Wolf Trap; I had great seats--middle orchestra toward the rear--and somehow the sound wasn't quite right. Julie kicked it into high gear on "Great Day" (4th or 5th song in), and the sound problems went away shortly after. Having Natalie MacMaster join in on the Train Song was briliant; I hope the band recorded that for later release. Everything after that was golden--including Eddie's drum solo, and the new songs--and of course, the crowd went bananas when Joe strolled out. Tonight...too many choices...BB King is playing at Wolf Trap (Dr. John opening), and the unbelievable Buddy Guy is playing at Pier 6 (Robert Cray opening). I wish I didn't have so much work to do... Hope somebody enjoyed this. JJ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 13:18:49 -0400 From: Jack Mitchell Subject: Re: Great show at Wolf Trap! I know that Wolf Trap doesn't allow sound board taping, but was anyone able to do a recording from the audience? If so, you are going to post it to the internet archive, right? (In case you weren't sure, the correct answer to both of these is yes.) ;-) Sounds like it was a great concert! Sorry I wasn't able to be there, but hopefully I'll get to hear it....

I enjoyed Natalie as well; but I though she was even better during Baltimore. It figures - there's a fiddler on the CD version as well. EP tracks: 1. Baltimore 2. And The Rain Crashed Down 3. Cowboy (live in Ann Arbor) How did Cowboy not make the CD? It got a great response last night. Natalie's dancing was good, but I think she was upstaged by Joe Murphy - he was fabulous. Setlist: 1. Number Six Driver 2. Stupid American 3. Quick 4. Independence, Indiana 5. Jerusalem 6. Great Day 7. And The Rain Crashed Down 8. Cowboy 9. Train Song (with Natalie MacMaster) 10. Baltimore (with Natalie MacMaster) 11. Eddie's Drumpire 12. The Bird 13. 1000 Sarahs 14. Old Dominion encore 1 15. Come Together 16. The Three Fine Daughters Of Farmer Brown encore 2 17. America The Beautiful Kerry ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 23:06:04 -0400 (EDT) From: Matthew Velazquez Subject: Re: Great show at Wolf Trap! >For those who weren't there: Natalie MacMaster was incredible.

Try to imagine a riverdancing >fiddler who looks like a cross between Shirley Temple and Jewel... No kidding. I've never seen anyone who could dance and fiddle at the same time. And this girl wasn't just dancing, she was Kicking Butt. During a giant solo no less. Wow. - -T ------------------------------ End of edheads-digest V7 #120 *****************************
