Subject: [JP] Kennedys 2/5/09 House Concert NYC

This Kennedys performance at the Music on 4 / 21 Nights house concert  series 
on New York's Upper West Side was completely unplugged, sans sound  system.  
It reminded me of other completely unplugged shows I've seen --  

The Nields 5/21/95 Grace Church, Windsor CT (trio show)
The Nields 12/7/96 Iron Horse (full band, the Blizzard Show)
Nerissa Nields 11/14/04 House Concert, Billerica MA (Naykid Tim's)
The Kennedys 7/6/08 Vistor's Center, New Bedford Summerfest (all  requests)
 
There's no other vibe quite like the vibe of a completely unplugged  show.  
Here's what TK played --
 
Life Is Large
Half a Million Miles
River of Fallen Stars
Angels Cry
9th Street Billy
Namaste
Breathe
Can't Catch Me
Alabama Rain
Rhapsody in Blue
Sun Burns Gold
Shadows with the Lonely
Make It Last
Words of Love (Buddy Holly)
Rave On (Buddy Holly)
Not Fade Away (Buddy Holly)
Everyday (Buddy Holly)
 
Stand (encore)
 
P&M had just done 2 Buddy Holly tribute shows in NJ, the previous  weekend.
 
This was one of the most fun house concerts ever.  Ihor and Marisha  were 
fabulous hosts, in a fantastic loft-style apartment in a funky NYC  neighborhood. 
 And I came away with a Music on 4 / 21 Nights t-shirt,  signed by the 
Kennedys.
 
This show was different for me in another way too, as I'd decided in  advance 
not to drive back to Boston afterwards, as I usually do.  So this  was the 
first time where I stayed in the city just to see a show since  1994, when I saw 
Sarah McLachlan at Central Park Summerstage (where I met  Meredith Tarr), and 
when I first got Wendy MaHarry's CD Fountain of Youth.
