On song selection... Along with the familiar tunes from Middle of Nowhere that you’ll be hearing during this evening’s concert, you’ll also be getting a taste of some of Hanson’s earlier material such as Soldier, Stories and River. Those songs are from the recently released 3 Car Garage, a collection of songs taken from Hanson’s 2nd independent record which was recorded prior to signing with Mercury. You also may hear Ever Lonely or More Than Anything songs that can only be heard in concert, because they aren’t currently available on any record. For Ike, Taylor and Zac, the concert tour is a chance to perform some of the songs that helped get them where they are today. We’re performing a lot of earlier songs pretty much the way we originally did them, says Taylor, ...but with a few twists. On River, for example, we’ve been performing it with a new bridge section, which is not heard on 3 Car Garage. We always felt the song was missing something, Isaac adds.
