The 3 April Robyn show was goofy fun.

Shirt: White with big *bright* swirls of red and lime green, untucked.
Pants: Too-skinny, roughly mediterranean blue, looked to be of the polymer family.
Hair: We have a phrase around my house describing the look of various occupants when they've just been roused from sleep and show the effects from head to tail: Bedcat.

Opening song: Uncorrected Personality Traits

Highlight of the show for me: Freeze, followed closely by I Often Dream of Trains and Rain (Beatles), the latter of which was performed with Scott Ligon. Also in the running, Wichita Lineman, performed with Kelly and Scott, Robyn playing slide on the Tele.

One gripe: Sleeping With Your Devil Mask really requires a backup singer to avoid the "guy singing all the vocal parts along with the song on the radio as he drives down the road" effect.

Extemporization: A couple amusing bits of talk about just having emerged from a barn after 35 years to play this show, and another circuitous explanation of the purpose (or maybe just effect) that the unavoidable guitar-tuning that's part of any acoustic/folkie show has on the audience members and then indirectly on pet rodents owned by audience members. Robyn was looking for the word "nutria" - the large rodent common in the swamps of Louisiana - but couldn't remember it quite, and eventually settled on "neutrinos" which lent a strange quarky charm to the story.

From the text file of the archive.org recording which features the opening acts as well as Robyn's set, presumably recorded by Aadam Jacobs:

Notes: Duncan Hall is a designated historical site. The auditorium
looks to seat about 70-100 people, tops. It appears to have been
built for use for classical work. The Acoustics in the hall are
phenomenal. I brought along a minidisc recorder in the hopes of
getting a half-way decent audience recording with a cheap microphone.
I spoke with Richard from Friends of Bob (The organization that put
the show together) about recording the show two weeks before, and he
sent me a letter (Which is in the artwork) explaining that the
contract with Robyn specifically forbade recording or pictures.
Richard spent the Friday and Saturday before the Duncan Hall show
with Robyn in Chicago. During that time Richard mentioned to Robyn
that I wanted to record the show. Robyn informed Richard that it
would be OK with him for the recording to take place. Richard
wasn't able to let me know before the show. As I was preparing to
hook up the microphone to the MD to record the show, someone
(Richard or Robyn) altered the "no photos or recording" signs.
I made a mad dash to the soundboard and asked if I could plug in.
The guy on the board was very helpful, as well as Brian from Ohio
with his watch, and my friend Scott with the pictures.

The sound is Pristine.

I know Everyone will enjoy this. Putting this together was a labor
of love.
I put some artwork together using pictures from the show as well
as some other neat stuff.
Make sure you give Kelly and Scott a listen too. Their set was
fantastic.

Don't EVER sell, buy or encode to MP3 please.
