Here's someone else's review of the show: Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 03:29:47 EST From: Diane Wong Subject: F & M show 2/24/00 Hey there intimate strangers, I guess I got home first @ 230am to my computer so here goes: Got there approximately 12 hours ago, to line up with Carrie, and met a few listees in line (Mandy & friends, the other Jill and her wife, Kathleen). The weather was perfect for line-waiting: sunny, a little wind, but great for February in Lancaster, PA. Mandy had her portable stereo out so we listened to a collection of IG covers(maybe Jill's cd?), then MM's Beneath the Devil Moon, and then Shaming of the Sun. When they opened the doors at 7:05pm, we walk-ran to our places near the stage, and felt like sardines there. The stage was on the long side of the auditorium, so no matter where you were, you could see them. Rose Polenzani opened with "Shake Through the Ugly", played "Thom II" (which I had never heard live before), and other songs, and ended with Olga's Birthday. (more detailed setlist on rose-p@onelist.com) The Acoustic Duo setlist for tonight was: Go Get Out the Map Thin Line Soon Be to Nothing World Falls Peace Tonight Romeo & Juliet (!!) Closer to Fine Faye Tucker (acoustic!) Philosophy of Loss Shame On You Wood Song Ozilline Ghost Chickenman :) Mystery (a request - not on setlist) Encore: Or - Rose Polenzani with the Girls on backup vocals Gone Again Galileo The Indigo Girls were so interactive with the crowd tonight--little stories or comments, reading our signs, accepting gifts. Amy Ray wore a blue long sleeve shirt over her infamous black tanktop, a grey chain , blue jeans, and blue suede shoes--oh, and we musn't forget that cool cowboy hat. She was all smiley tonight. Emily wore sparkly stuff around her eyes, but not the blue shadow. She wore a red long-sleeve shirt, black pants, a sparkly watch, a couple of bracelets (including a yellow rave one), and I couldn't see her shoes. They performed on Queen Latifah's show earlier that day or yesterday, and Emily absolutely raved about her--how she is as cool in person, as you see on the screen. They caught her show in Atlanta and was blown away. Amy mentioned that they would be leaving for Australia in 3 days--over lots and lots of water. Emily said she was going to listen to the new Filters album on the way to Aussieland. Emily said, "What is this show--Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? What's even more sick is that mostly women watched the show--that's f*cked up!" It was a wonderful--some called it the ultimate setlist--tonight. We were all amazed or transcended into IG heaven. I was shocked and Carrie was stunned and crying when Amy started playing Romeo & Juliet. And once they played Wood Song, I didn't think they would do Mystery--but I bet the birthday staff (security?) member (Matthew) requested it. Other highlights for me were: hearing Philosophy of Loss live, World Falls, and Thin Line. After the show, we ambled our way over to the bus to wait for Amy and Emily to appear. Emily came out fairly quickly after the show, and luckily, signed autographs at our end of the bus. She and Amy jammed tonight to fill in where the band was before. Amy came out about 40 minutes later, and made sure she signed everything that people presented to her. She even hugged a couple of fans. (To get more fanatical, both Amy and Emily used my purple pen for autographs; got my 1200 Curfews songbook and my CONS t-shirt signed.) Overall, a very splendid night. Diane - Thanks Neil and Andi for bringing my umbrella! Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 03:38:24 EST From: Diane Wong Subject: P.S. Also saw with Steph and Andi, and met several of Carrie's friends--Bonnie, Sue, Tina, et al. The gym they played in had an indoor walking track on the second level of the gym, and also the treadmill/stairclimber room had a view of the concert. Amy waved to the people sitting in front of the treadmill room, and when they left the gym after show's end, they walked a half-lap, and waved to us--the crowd rippling effect of the cheers was terrific. You could feel the high from the show. Got chills during wood song and mystery. It so unusual to hear Amy sing "Romeo & Juliet" when she was smiling the whole time because of the fans' reaction to her performing it. So, it was a cheery, kind of seductive tune. (oh, and people were singing along--it was cool.) Di
