Seeing the
Indigo Girls twice in three days wasn’t planned – the Wolf Trap schedule came
out long before they were added to the XPNFest roster – but it certainly wasn’t
a burden, especially since they switch their set lists up quite a bit from show
to show, and their performance at Wolf Trap was about 45 minutes longer than
their one-hour slot in Jersey. They opened with “Share The Moon” and “Fill It
Up Again” (a particular favorite of mine), and got to half a dozen of the 13
tracks on their recent CD. Other highlights that they didn’t perform Sunday
included “Wood Song” and “Hammer And A Nail”, along with a powerful extended
version of “Touch Me Fall.” The crowd (not a sellout) seemed a little more
sedate than usual for the first several songs, but the enthusiasm level
increased once they got to “Get Out The Map” and “Joking”.
Fellow
Atlanta area native Michelle Malone opened with a 40-minute blues-rock set,
with Amy coming out to join her on one song. Michelle also helped out the Girls
on a couple of their songs, and they brought her entire band out to join them
near the end. (The bass player didn’t have far to go, as he did both sets.)
