In this morning's subway version of the Washington Post
(p.15 for anyone else in DC), my disbelieving eyes read the
following:

Today's Top Stops #2 (clearly an oversight...should have
been #1)

Songbird: Nanci Griffith at Birchmere
Neo-country sparrow Nanci Griffith's ethereal vocals and
strong songwriting chops add up to a potent mix--heartland
music for the modern age.  This on-and-off pop icon (!) also
has the folk musician's knack for storytelling, making for
complex, confessional music that defies pigeonholes.

Exclamation mark is my own. I was as proud as if they were
writing about me, and I'm sure everyone on the metro
wondered why the girl with the heavy book bag was grinning
like a fool.

Now, the question is, has this reviewer ever heard Nanci's
music. Sparrow? Confessional? And "ethereal" is not a word I
would have associated with Nanci, but let's go ahead and
reclaim ethereal from the sopranos, since it means not just
delicate but heavenly, and her music is surely that.

Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I did!

I'm pretty sure he is confusing her with Emmylou Harris (sparrow,
ethereal).  But a nice plug none-the-less.

Subject: NN: Nanci at the Birchmere
    Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 12:11:34 -0500
    From: "Miller, Dianne" (Dianne.Miller@mail.house.gov>

Hey all,

Wanted to share my impressions of Nanci's show at the Birchmere last  
night. My
friend Kathy and I had bought tickets to tonight's show, but because  
Kathy had
to make an unplanned business trip and didn't want to leave town  
without seeing
Nanci, we decided to go down to the Birchmere early last night and see  
if we
could scalp tickets to the sold out show. It was our lucky night-we got  
in
without too much begging and managed to get good seats close to the  
stage.

This is probably my fifteenth Nanci Griffith concert, and I'm hard  
pressed to
describe a "typical" Nanci show.  I've seen her solo, with anywhere  
from a 6-
to 10-piece backing band, with the Crickets, with special guests, with  
the
National Symphony Orchestra. Last night, she was on stage with a  
mini-Blue Moon
Orchestra: Hooker on keyboard, LeAnn Etheridge on bass, and Pat  
McInerney on
drums/percussion.

She looked great, maybe a little tired, but definitely relaxed and  
happy to be
there. Fashion report for those who care:  blue jeans, black stretch  
velvet
top, LBJ button on guitar strap (she's told us she's looking for a  
vintage
Nixon/Agnew button to complement it & wondered if she could find a  
political
memorabilia store in D.C.  Ha!).  The rest of the band was also dressed  
in
black, though it didn't seem like they were mourning anything.

Nanci sounded good.  Her voice was clear; she hit all the high notes;  
and
disregarded all the vocal affectations, strange pronunciations, and  
tics that
had crept into some of her recent performances.  She did, however,  
forget the
words to half a dozen of her songs, including some fan favorites like  
"Listen
to the Radio" and "I Wish it Would Rain."  On some it was a momentary  
stumble
-- like when she had to go back and start "Good Night New York" over  
because
she missed the first line (she nailed it on the second try) -- others  
were
more pronounced.  She completely forgot "Bring the Prose to the Wheels"  
and did
a lot of repetition to get through the song.

If she was upset about these lapses, you'd never know it.  Mostly, she  
made fun
of herself and cracked a couple of jokes about getting old.  She told  
us she'd
been in the studio for the past three weeks recording a new album  
(cheers from
the crowd) and had been so immersed in the new -- she sang us a couple  
cuts --
that she's forgotten her back catalog.  We were a very forgiving  
audience,
singing along the words where she stumbled, and cheering  
enthusiastically after
each song.  Like I said before, she sounded good and seemed to be  
enjoying
herself.

Set list:

Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
One Blade Shy of Sharp Edge (a song she said she sings every four  
years, making
up new lyrics to suit the situation.  Last night, she substituted "Karl  
Rove"
for "Republican")
Love at the Five and Dime
These Days in an Open Book
Gulf Coast Highway (duet with Hooker)
Traveling Through This Part of You (dedicated to Bobby Muller and John  
Terzano
of Vietnam Veterans of America, who were in the audience.  Singing this  
song
gave her a chance to talk about her travels and endorse the work of  
VVAF.
http://vvaf.org/music_center/profiles_griffith.shtml)
Flyer
 From a Distance (with some Spanish on the chorus. Big cheers from the  
crowd
when she told us that "One Fair Summer Evening" would be coming out on  
DVD in
May.)
Good Night New York (complete with false start, but strong finish)
Last Train Home (a studio version of which will appear on the new  
record. She
told us she wrote it for "one ex-husband and four ex-boyfriends" who  
were all
going through divorces at the same time.  Her comment:  I don't know  
why they
all called me, I KNEW why they were getting divorces!)
The Heart of Indochine (new song, written during her last trip to  
Southeast
Asia, about how long it's taken for the wounds of Vietnam to heal.  
Beautiful.)
Listen to the Radio (she forgot Loretta Lynn in the first verse, but  
recovered
nicely)
Tecumseh Valley
Bring the Prose to the Wheels (the song she had the most trouble with  
all
night)
I Wish it Would Rain (another song that gave her trouble, but she played
through it like a pro)
Love Conquers All (another new song about how people with vast  
differences can
come together and reach an understanding.  She said that she didn't  
think that
she and Tom DeLay would ever see eye-to-eye, but this was her form of
outreach.)
It's a Hard Life
If I Had a Hammer (dedicated to Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.   
She
commented on how she managed to make it through the entire show without
changing clothes or having Hooker rip anything off her.  And then said  
that
Janet and Justin's stunt cost Americans dearly in the area of free  
expression.
"A five-second delay means that there will never be another Oscar  
speech like
Michael Moore's last year."  She was pissed.  Song sounded great.)

Encore:  Big Blue Ball of War

All in all, great show.  Based on the new songs, I'm looking forward to  
the new
CD this summer -- I think it will be the perfect accompaniment for  
driving
through the mountains with top down on my little car.  I'm going back  
to her
second show tonight (still have those original tickets, though Kathy  
won't be
with me) and am curious to see if she changes the set list or uses lyric
sheets.  I'll let you know how it compares.

Hope everyone's having a great day.

Changes the set list? Ha, I wouldn't count on it. From the looks of  
things
she's still playing almost the exactly same stuff (with a few new  
things tossed
in) that she has been for the past 5+ years. For an artist with as  
extensive a
body of work as Nanci has, she sure seems stuck in a rut. A shame.

Subject: NN: Another concert report
    Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2004 10:23:16 -0500
    From: elizabethkeyes@starpower.net

Because the song-list was so remarkably different one day later, I'm  
filing
another concert report.

What a treat it was: this is my sixth time seeing her, and I think I  
have never
seen her so relaxed and happy. She connected far more naturally to the  
crowd
than I'd seen her do before. And, at the risk of restarting the storm  
of From a
Distance disagreements, let me say that (a) I tend to find the song OK  
at best,
but basically a bit sappy but (b) last night was the finest performance  
I ever
heard of it. My fellow lukewarm-on-FAD friends agreed. She sang it with  
a depth
of commitment that just blew us all away. She introduced it as an  
anthem, and
when she and Lee-Ann did the first harmonies over a very spare  
accompaniment, I
got chills. And when she sang in Spanish I actually teared up, it was  
just too
beautiful. It was an astonishing, powerful performance, and it got the  
cheers
it richly deserved.

Other highlights:
  - The smile on her face when she sang "away Merle Haggard flies";
  - Road to Aberdeen. Oh my, she is captivating.
  - James, James, James;
  - A cute story about appearing on the Opry--"I kept saying to Lee-Ann,  
'I
can't believe it, I'm on the Opry' until Lee-Ann said, 'I know, I'm  
here too!'"
  - Three part harmony on Tecumseh Valley that was divine
  - The many political tirades... finally she asked the audience, "am I  
among my
people?" You can imagine the roar she got for that one (one Republican  
sitting
near me hissed, but he was - to say the least - outnumbered).

Lyric changes:
  - Love at the Five and Dime: last words were changed to "dancing  
online"
  - The Karl Rove line (instead of "sticker on your bumper that's how I  
know" it
was "sticker on your bumper that says Karl Rove");
  - I refuse to drive on the left side of the road (this one had has us
puzzling: best we could come up with was that even with everything  
being what
it is in the U.S. today - she was abundantly clear what she thought of  
our
current leaders - she was committed to being in the U.S.? A mystery.)
  -Flyer: "god bless our flyers, who should be flying home tonight...I  
would
give anything to bring our flyers home tonight."

Lowlight/rant: WHY do people talk through a performance? Who can afford  
these
tickets and then go and not pay attention? I had to shut up a table of  
people
who were acting like they were at a bar. I was outraged, particularly  
since
they were at their loudest during "It's a Hard Life." I paid more than  
I could
afford to hear her, and they had to talk.  Grrrrrr.

Tirade over.

Song List:
  - Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
  - One Blade Shy
  - Love at the Five and Dime
  - These Days
  - Peace in Indochine - new, beautiful
  - Gulf Coast Highway
  - Travelin' Through
  - Flyer
  - From a Distance
  - Listen to the Radio
  - There's a Light Beyond These Woods
  - I Wish It Would Rain
  - Ball of War
  - Love Conquers All
  - Tecumseh Valley (go James!)
  - Ford Econoline
  - Hard Life
  - If I Had a Hammer
  - Outbound Plane (encore)
  - Road to Aberdeen (encore)

P.S. She got her Nixon/Agnew button (a HUGE one) and wore it
all night. She explained that this was pretty much how she
regarded the current administration.

I forgot to say that I thought Lee Ann was at her finest,

just jealous...I want to be up there doing back-up vocals),
but she just let go last night--and One Blade Shy rocked the
walls of the Birchmere.

Back to work! =)

Subject: NN: Nanci at the Birchmere, part II
    Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2004 11:35:18 -0500
    From: "Miller, Dianne" (Dianne.Miller@mail.house.gov>

Thanks for the kind words.  In all the years I've been a member of the
Nancinet, I don't think I've ever posted two days in a row.  Then  
again, I've
never been to back-to-back concerts before!

I came very close to selling all of my tickets to the second show, but  
am glad
I decided to keep one.  I couldn't find a taker for the last ticket on  
such
short notice, so scalped it at the box office and went into the concert  
hall by
myself.

I'm not adverse to traveling solo, and the Birchmere, with its general
admission policy and family-style seating makes it particularly easy  
for a
single concertgoer to find a great seat at the last minute.  Case in  
point: I
sat one row back from the stage, a little to the left of center,  
rounding out a
group of three thirty-something lawyers on a girls-night-out.

After an amazing opening set by Christine Kane, an Asheville-based
singer-songwriter who definitely deserves a second (or third or fourth)  
listen,
Nanci and the "Half Blue Moon Orchestra" bounded on stage to the cheers  
of the
crowd.

Before playing a single note, as she was adjusting her blue Taylor  
(complete
with a huge new Nixon-Agnew button on the strap above the familiar face  
of
LBJ), she apologized to the crowd.  "I was here last night and I was  
just as
dumb as a door."  She thanked those of us who came back for giving her  
a second
chance on the opening nights of her tour.  And she promised the  
newcomers that
she'd shaken herself out of studio mode and was ready to play some live  
music.

And with that, Nanci launched into a great show.  Like Tuesday night,  
she
looked good (still dressed in black), sounded great, and seemed very  
relaxed
and happy to be on stage.  The banter between musicians was  
lighthearted, with
lots of private jokes.  Hooker was the perfect straight man to her  
comedienne,
particularly on the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction jokes.

While not as political as I've seen her in the past, she told us that  
she does
not like the current Administration.  The crowd went wild.  She looked  
around
and asked, "Am I among my people?"  More enthusiastic cheers.  Sorry  
Clive.
But the night was not about politics, it was about the music.

Set list:

-- Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
-- One Blade Shy of a Sharp Edge
-- Love at the Five & Dime (She made a point of telling us that Eddie  
and Rita
were "not political")
-- These Days in an Open Book (great harmonies by LeAnn Etheridge, whom  
Nanci
described as the "honky-tonkinest bass player in Nashville" when she  
introduced
her)
-- The Heart of Indochine (my favorite new song of the ones she  
introduced,
which gave Pat McInerney a chance to show off his legs, as he came out  
from
behind his drum kit to play rhythm on a djembe)
-- Gulf Coast Highway (lovely duet with Hooker)
-- Traveling Through This Part of You (sung for all veterans of all  
wars)
-- Flyer (with a word change on the chorus "I'd do anything to bring  
our flyers
home tonight")
-- From a Distance
-- Listen to the Radio (Set up by a story about how, because she's  
stayed close
to home this past year, she played at the Grand Ole Opry three times.  
She grew
up listening to the Opry on the radio and, after years of hearing her  
songs
sung there by others, was particularly honored to be on that stage  
singing them
herself.  She told us that she would say to LeAnn, "Look at me, I'm  
here at the
Opry."  And LeAnn would answer "I'm here too!")
-- There's a Light Beyond These Woods  
-- I Wish it Would Rain
-- Big Blue Ball of War (new song)
-- Love Conquers All (new song)
-- Tecumseh Valley
-- Ford Econoline (She said they decided to add this song to  
Wednesday's show
because someone requested it on Tuesday night. This was the only song  
that gave
her trouble, as she forgot the words on the last verse.  The band kept  
playing,
and after a quick stage conference with LeAnn, she sang out "Now she  
sings her
songs...")
-- It's a Hard Life (She told us she wrote this song in Northern  
Ireland, after
watching Lloyd Bentsen make mincemeat of Dan Quayle during the 1988
presidential race.  When she asked the crowd "Where were you during the
Quayle-Bentsen debate?" most people yelled back "Northern Ireland!")
-- If I Had a Hammer

Encore:

-- Outbound Plane (yea!  My favorite song!!)
-- Road to Aberdeen (a cappella)


Her tour this time out is a short swing through the northeast, but you  
should
definitely get tickets if you can.  Catching Nanci and crew on a longer  
tour in
support of a new record will be on my list of things to do this  
summer/fall!

Hope everyone is having a great day,

Dianne

p.s.  Sadly, I was not in Northern Ireland in the fall of 1988.  I was  
in Ann
Arbor, finishing up law school.  Where were you?

I'm jealous of Dianne, seeing Nanci two nights  in a row. I went last  
night
(Wednesday) and had much the same impressions of the concert as Dianne.  
Nanci
had been given Nixon/Agnew buttons, making the statement that she  
thought the
current administration harkened back to those two. I know I couldn't  
even think
of wearing a Nixon/Agnew button as my mother would turn over in her  
grave. This
was the first time we sat at the same table with folks who were not  
avid Nanci
fans - a very different experience. And folks in my section (toward the  
back)
didn't even sing the hammer song. Where have all the old folkies gone?

I had to explain to a younger person about the Vietnam War, the draft,  
and why
some of us get upset about Bush's "war" record. To them we have always  
lived in
a world with volunteer armed forces and short wars that do not affect  
them too
much.

    From: "Gerard O'Connor" (gpoconnor@yahoo.com>

   I have not posted to this list in some years
although I have followed the various discussions.  I
thought I would check in to drop a line about the
Boston show.

    It was a great show, I thought.  I have seen Nanci
Griffith perform probably a dozen or so times over the
past 20 years.  She keeps getting better as a
performer.

   She was backed by the Blue Moon Quartet, you might
say, James Hooker and her regular bass player and
drummer.  Longish set, no intermission.  I am not that
good at remembering set lists but here is what stood
out for me:

  - There's a Light Beyond These Woods
  - One Blade Shy
  - These Days in a Open Book
  - LATFAD
  - Traveling Through This Part Of You
  - Bring The Prose To The Wheel
  - Gulf Coast Highway
  - Flyer
  - Speed of the Sound Of Loneliness
  - No Expectations
  - Love Conquers All (I think -- new song)
  - From A Distance
  - Last Train Home
  - Listen To The Radio
  - Ford Econoline
  - New Indochine Song
  - Tecumseh Valley
  - Hard Life

Encore - - Hammer Song

There were probably a few others I can't remember.  I
really like the arrangements a lot -- I would have to
say that this was by a good measure the best Nanci
Griffith concert I have seen.  The old songs really
felt like old friends, especially "Bring the Prose to
the Wheel" and "Gulf Coast Highway."

   She told a funny story that I hadn't heard before
introducing "From a Distance" about not getting to
release the single because an executive at the record
company maintained that "Nanci Griffith's voice hurts
people's ears."

   During "Love at the Five and Dime" I was thinking
about going to hear Nanci Griffith play in Northampton
in the 80's -- you would leave the show and there
would be Woolworth's right there.  I found myself
thinking, what the hell happened to the whole world
that was around back then.  Just as I was feeling all
nostalgic and wistful she started changing the words
of the last repeated lines from "five and dime" to
"on-line."  There you go.

   I would be interested to hear any other thoughts
about the show.

    From: Michael Wilt (handofgrace@yahoo.com>

Griffsters,

Last night's concert at the Berklee Performance Center
was vintage Nanci in a mid-sized venue. My front-row
seat was just right, giving me a perfect view of all
four musicians and allowing me the illusion that Nanci
actually smiled at *me* once or twice. She apologized
in advance for any rustiness, explaining that she'd
been off the road for quite a while, so we should
attribute rustiness to the fact that she'd been
spending too much time on her couch. I noticed one or
two minor lapses of lyric memory, but she was much
better prepared than was George Bush for Meet the
Press.

Our fashion correspondent reports that Nanci wore a
black top embellished by a peace symbol button, grey
slacks, slightly belled, and black shoes or boots.
Over all that, a knee-length, silk-looking kimono sort
of thing; light green to my eye, with fabric designs
(flowers and such, and on the back a full figure of an
Asian man) appliqued all over. And sparkly fringes
hanging from the sleeves and hem. That's the best
description I can give, having never watched Queer Eye
for the Straight Guy.

Here's the song list:

Mary Margaret (solo)
One Blade Shy of a Sharp Edge
Love at the Five and Dime
These Days in an Open Book
Gulf Coast Highway
Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Flyer [lyric variation: "God bless our flyers, they
should be flying home tonight"]
Traveling Through This Part of You
In the Heart of Indochine (new song)
Listen to the Radio
> From a Distance
Love Conquers All (new song)
Last Train Home [written, she explained, "in my pinko
way, as a collective response" to her ex-husband and
several ex-boyfriends who were all going through
divorces at the same time and calling her constantly
for advice and commiseration. "I KNEW why they were
getting divorced . . . And now they're all remarried
to women just like the last one. . ."]
Tecumseh Valley
Ford Econoline
Bring the Prose to the Wheel
It's a Hard Life Wherever You Go [lyric variation:
"I've been guilty, I've been war, and I've been the
root of all evil, and I've *refused* to drive on the
left side of the road"]
No Expectations
Encore: If I Had a Hammer

So, a strong presentation of old and new, with Nanci
in great voice, as good as I've heard her in long
time, not forgetting the issues she champions but also
not overdoing it, and throwing in a clearly
spontaneous story about playing at Passim in Cambridge
early in career, which brought applause from the
Passim-hip members of the audience.

When she came out for the encore, someone called out,
"I Remember Joe," and Nanci said, "I'm glad someone
does, cuz I don't--I sorta remember 1977, but not the
song." She said chances are now they'd have to put it
together and sing it for the folks in Albany at the
next show. So if she sings it Albany, let us know. . .

The evening was topped off by a flawless 2-bus ride
from Arlington to Boston and back, sponsored by the
much-maligned (often for good reason) MBTA. I really
dislike driving around here, so it's always nice when
public transportation works!

Thanks to Nanci and the Blue Half-Moon Orchestra for a
lovely evening.

Michael

    From: "Brian O'Sullivan" (cfdoc@charter.net>

Another voice crying in the wilderness...not much to add to the  
appropriately
positive notes already posted about Nanci's performance last night at  
The
Berklee Performance Center.  This was my sixth Nanci concert  
(obviously, I am a
piker compared to the real NanciNetters!) and one of the best I've been
privileged to see.  The last time I saw her, Ms. Griffith's voice was  
strained
and her performance lack-luster.  Last night she was rejuvenated!  The  
audience
seemed a bit subdued to me; I think this was because there were so many  
old
friends both in the song set and in the audience that everyone just  
relaxed and
let the music flow over them.

With a stripped down ensemble, her voice and wit showed through.  I  
found some
of the over-manned performances in the past (two percussionists, a  
bassist, an
extra guitarist in addition to Lee Satterfield and assorted guests such  
as the
Crickets) to be distracting. This was vintage, pure Nanci.  And she was  
up to
the task.  My only concern was that this felt almost like a farewell  
concert
with all the old favorites brought out for one last spin on a red brick  
floor
(so to speak).

Opening with a solo performance of There's a Light Beyond These Woods  
was
tremendously moving and the show only got better from there with old  
friends
like Love at the Five and Dime, Gulf Coast Highway, Listen to the  
Radio, From a
Distance, Tecumseh Valley, Ford Econoline, Bring the Prose to the  
Wheel, and
It's a Hard Life Wherever You Go performed with a heartfelt reverence  
and
nearly flawless delivery.

I hope I am wrong about this being a farewell tour because last night's  
show
proves that there is a lot more left in Nanci's tank, including  
wonderful new
material -- the lack of which we have all bemoaned on this list.  Nanci  
is
still the best and my CD player is set on shuffle with 5 of her discs  
in it as
I write this.
