It definitely made up for the rainy, but still ok/good Sugarland (are they ever not good 
) show on Sunday.Over the Rhine opened with I Don’t Wanna Waste Your Time (With Music You Don't Need), which I always love that being an opening number, I’m sure it can get boring for them, but for me it just FITS. The rest of the show was also amazing but rather than give you my blow by blow of each song saying how great they each are, I’ll just leave it at that. The solos by Jake and Mickey on “I'm On A Roll” have only gotten progressively better, Mickey got quite the crowd reaction for his house pounding drumbeats, being an intimate club I was about 6 feet away from him and could see him in profile and so got a wonderful view of his playing (truly a master of the drum kit). I got a small sense of pride seeing that Karin had set the flowers I’d sent out on her little table, I’ve sent to very very few artists before and this was the first time I saw any sort of appreciation for it, and that felt really good makes me happy to do it again (maybe a bigger bouquet?). The band was in a wonderfully giddy mood and the crowd really got into the show, which I always love seeing. OtR tends to draw a diverse audience and in this college town that was no exception with Grey haired men sitting next to high school kids in perfect calm and enjoying the show for all it was worth. Karin really thwacked into her cookie sheet leaving some major imprints into it grinning the entire time. I loved some of the “oldies” pulled out such as Daydreamer and Cruel and Pretty. All in all a magical night that will get me through till this OtR junkie gets to another show.
