Review:
From my blog (originally from the edhead mailing list):
Lots of new songs – I like Independence, Indiana and Fly more every time I hear them, but I think my favorite moment was during Robbie’s encore, when Storm and Richard from Da Vinci’s Notebook wanted to trade Bernie for Mike Clem and “$200, no make that $400”.

Todd Sheaffer was the lead singer of From Good Homes, who I enjoyed. We got to see him solo while he and the rest of future jamgrass titans Railroad Earth were working on their first album.

The Excentrics may have broken up, but Todd Wright always stays busy. We got a preview of his new group Getaway Car opening up for Butch Walker, whose group Marvelous 3 had also recently broken up.

No EFO on stage (they were all in the audience, though), but a great show from Robbie. “Farewell To Saint Delores” is a Dave Carter song that Robbie said he requested at Dave’s last show, also in Vienna. High points for me were the two songs he debuted in March: “Fly” and “Independence, Indiana” – can’t wait for EFO versions of those. It was also the first time I saw his version of “Over The Hills And Far Away” – great stuff!

Review:
From my blog (originally from the edhead mailing list):
Let me preface this by saying I really like Jammin’ Java. It’s a little coffee shop with a nice, intimate performance space in back (the lady at the door said there were 108 chairs). The setlist spells it out more, but it was Jon and Robbie switching vocal duties (and sometimes leaving the stage). I kind of expected Mike to be one of the “special guests”, and was happy to see Eddie show up as well. Robbie’s new songs were great (especially Independence, Indiana), but my favorite part of the set was when they asked Julie to come up. Jon sang lead on “Get Closer”, but she sang “Quick” and a smoking version of “Love Me Like A Man”. Robbie confirmed the Wolf Trap show and said that Jon would be joining them at the Birchmere shows and possibly the Wolf Trap one. Bill Danoff (used to be in the Starland Vocal Band with Jon) sang lead on a couple, too (I had no idea he co-wrote Take Me Home, Country Roads).
An actual review from 2002! FYI the four songs Eddie From Ohio played were the only time Jill saw them before we went on the Eddie From Ohio cruise together.
