I'm speechless. In a good way, a very good way. Today I got my copy of the 2-cd set from Over the Rhine's 4-14-02 show in Atlanta. Genia and I were at the show -- it was our virgin Over the Rhine experience. (Aside: I like to see bands live before buying the cd if I can. It's a recently added quirk.) The show was nothing short of amazing. I am entirely taken with the band, and about a month ago I bought their most recent disc, Films for Radio, which is incredible. Back to the concert cds, the quality is fantastic, and if I close my eyes, I am back in Smith's Olde Bar being amazed. The standout track from the show is "The World Can Wait" -- it's just Karin's voice and a piano, and it's almost too good to handle. Do yourself a favor -- check out this band!
