Missed the Rustic Overtones show at the Waterville Opera House? As you can see, MPBN has it! But they're not alone. There's a few versions of this performance available for download.

Board member Nuphus recorded it from the live stream (Part 1, Part 2) although experienced an occasional cut-out in the sound. Next, you can download it from the MPBN site, as one huge mp3. Your third option is courtesy of Darek, who cut the MPBN copy into separate tracks. You can download that zip file here.

MPBN has also made Marie Morsehead's set available. You'll have to grab that from their site, however.

I've tacked on the setlist for the show which includes a long commentary by Nuphus, so check that out while you wait for your downloads. Also, if you were in attendance at the Pickle Barrel, on the 27th, we are missing that setlist and/or details. Get in touch with us if you have something! Thanks to everyone for their efforts!

Rustic is playing NOW at the Waterville Opera House. It is an acoustic show featuring an orchestra composed of local musicians, mostly high school students. More information can be found here.

You can listen to a live stream of the show broadcast by Maine Public Broadcasting Network here, and if you miss it, don't worry! The show will also be made available to download in the coming week. Apologies for the late notice, but better late than never, no?

Here are links to a recording of Friday's show at Harpers Ferry. There are two options to download, track by track as single mp3s, or in 2 parts (part 1, part 2) in zip files. Huge thanks to Peter (Onlycrayons) for getting this taped!

Pictures and setlists are up, from the weekend's shows at Harpers Ferry, in Allston / Boston, Massachusetts. Both nights featured some treats, such as Dig, Pop Trash, and Long Division; and as usual, hijinks and wisecracks from the guys. There's some tidbits included as notes with the setlists, as well as some discussion on Tim's message board, including taping Friday's performance.

I am off to Boston for the weekend, to catch Saturday's (and maybe Friday's too) performance at Harpers Ferry. Getting together with my old roommate, and with questionable weather, it could be a few days until I'm able to upload and post my pictures. I'm bringing my camera junk with me, so if there's time I'll do it there.

In the meantime, I leave you with some old goodies. First item of business, all of the photo galleries have been revamped. The images have been moved to a dedicated photobucket, and the galleries were reworked so that it's no longer a single column down the whole page. Faster loading, less scrolling, happier fingers!

The second item is another bootleg, featuring Rustic Overtones, live at Fletcher's, in Baltimore, Maryland. This set is from June 14, 2001. I thought it was on Archive.org, but I can't find it anymore, so I put it up. You can download it here. Have a great weekend!

No surprises here, Darek came through once again with some great shots of the Stone Church performance from Saturday, December 8th. You may have seen them already, I forgot to post something up here, but if you haven't, go check 'em out and learn more of Rustic's affinity for pumpkins.

The setlist is also up. We're missing Friday's, but there is a recording of that show in the works, that should clear things up. We'll put a link up when it becomes available. Stay tuned 'toned..

Thursday night, the Rustic Overtones played the Mercury Lounge, in New York City. Tonight and tomorrow they're at The Stone Church, in New Market, New Hampshire. And last Friday they were at the Ultra Lounge, in Orono, Maine. All in all a busy week.

I have added the setlist from the Mercury Lounge, but we are looking for reports from the 30th, and if you are attending a show, let us know how it went. We will credit you for anything you can contribute - a setlist/review, pictures, and so forth. This is a fan site, so we need your help! Just be sure to leave us a comment, send us an email, or shoot me (jeffd) a private message on the Rock Like War forum with anything you can share, because I'm not going to put things up without your permission.

As mentioned in a previous post, Oxygen is in the WEQX rotation. Today, during the Top 5 at 5, they announced the New Years Eve bash, confirming that it is indeed a triple-header, with not only Rustic, but As Fast As, and Paranoid Social Club.

A lot of board members have said they will be traveling, and with their popularity in EQXland factored in, I expect a solid turnout. Be advised to reserve yourself some tickets, else you could be turned away. Also, if you're buying online, I recommend using musictoday instead of ticketmaster, as the service charge is a bit less.

In case you don't read the message board (you should!) members Darek & 4khiker unearthed an old gem of a show and have shared it with us. It is a live acoustic recording from The Big Easy on August 17th, 2001. You can a) download it here, b) check out the setlist here, or c) read (and register!) for the forum here.

WEQX has added the Rustic Overtones song Oxygen to their current rotation. I heard it Sunday afternoon, while making some last minute rounds for work stuff with the ominous forecast and some light flurries. You can submit an e-quest or call in to their request line: (802) 362-1027

The 2001 setlist archive is now fully functional. It was a bit monotonous pasting the archived information and adding the formatting, but it was really cool to read all the stories and comments included with many performances. For example, their Halloween show from 2001:

In honor of Halloween, the band took to the stage with pumpkins on their heads! Yes, these were actual pumpkins that the guys gutted and carved. Jon had lights in the eyes of his pumpkin which made it look pretty evil.

Rustic was not as active as they normally are on stage because they wore the pumpkins for the entire show! At the end of their set, all of the guys removed
their pumpkins and
smashed them on the stage.

The setlist index will continually be updated from here on out, with the old performances as well as their most recent ones. To do so, we need help with reports from concert-goers like you! If you have any information regarding shows that have no setlist or description, by all means send us a note, throw a post up on the forum, or leave a comment, and we'll get it added.
