Hoover Dam Taking Everything Your Favorite Thing New #1 Panama City Motel Lonely Afternoon The Last Night Sinners And Their Repentances Brasilia Crossed With Trenton High Fidelity Fade To Black Surveyors And Cranes See A Little Light Thumbtack Celebrated Summer Too Far Down If I Can't Change Your Mind Outdoor music festival (Bob is believed to have played the Procter & Gamble Pavilion). Solo 12-string acoustic show. Thanks to Mark Weygandt, from whose website (now defunct) this information was retrieved, along with the informal show reviews and comments below, which were originally posted to the Sugar internet mailing list: -------------------------------------- From: da9ve I can't delve too deeply in detail right now - being that I just got back from Cinci an hour ago and might need some more sleep, but the highlight of the show for me was the one-two whammy of Sinners & Their Repentances and Brasilia Crossed With Trenton. Top notch! Still, I was hoping to hear a few more of the newest songs, . . . The show was all acoustic 12-string - we clamored for some electricity, but Bob said he was sticking with what was working, even though the falling temperatures were apparently playing havoc with the guitar's ability to stay in tune. A few of us raving fanboys stuck around the back of the pavilion after the show till Bob came out to shake hands. He was very cool, and chatted with us for a few minutes; gave us the update on who else works out at the gym in the building where he lives: Sandra Bernhard. (Last fall in Chicago, he mentioned that Monica Lewinsky was sighted there, . . .) Also, the intelligence is that he's using *very* lightweight strings, D'Addario's if I recall correctly. All in all, a classy show. ----------------------------- From: chellEE I have waited for 11 years to see this man in concert. No lie. Workbook has been and continues to be in my otherwise constantly changing top 10 albums of all time list. So, when my buddy emails me and asks me if I'm going to the Earthday thing at Sawyer Point to see Bob Mould, I seriously thought he was pulling a fast one on me. But oh-my-lucky-stars he wasn't! To think I ALMOST MISSED HIM!!!! As you can imagine I went in with high expectations. I didn't even mean to set them as such, but I've been waiting 11 YEARS to see this man perform!! And it was completely worth the wait! I was blown away. Never could I imagine that a dude and his guitar could hold so much stage presence. I could barely sing along to any of the songs because I was in complete awe of Bob... Bob Mould... the musical genius as I call him... and because I couldn't get rid of the goofy grin that was completely plastered on my face. The highlight of my evening, besides hearing some of the new songs, and having my picture taken at the bottom of the stage while Bob did his thing on top of the stage, was to hear See a Little Light and If I Can't Change Your Mind. Oh the glory of it all! ----------------------------- From: Paolini, Nicole The Cincinnati crowd was very light--about 100 people--probably because it had been raining all day. It was a totally acoustic show, but otherwise very similar to the Chicago show the week before (although he did play Celebrated Summer but didn't do Poison Years). The best part was actually the 11 PM Channel 12 news. They interviewed Bob. They didn't ask about his music, or Earth Day, or how he felt about being back in Cincinnati--they asked what he thought about Elian Gonzales. The look on his face was priceless.
