The Stevens Center is a lovely, intimate setting for a concert and it looked full from where I sat lower left orchestra.
Triangle
Did She Mention My Name - GL Comment - "As Mark Twain said, the rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated" Much APPLAUSE :-) Said he heard the news on the radio en route to his office & felt compelled to speed past Mount Pleasant cemetery
14 Kt Gold
Never Too Close - more commentary about the people at the gym missing him because he was at the dentist & thinking the rumor was true
Let It Ride
A Painter Passing Through
Rainy Day People - said perhaps he might get a spike in ASCAP payments
Shadows
Beautiful (those 2 in succession, oh my I can die happy now)
Carefree Highway
Hangdog Hotel Room - said this was written for his pal Jerry Jeff, whose jacket he wore on the cover of Don Quixote
Ribbon of Darkness
Sundown
Watchman
Alberta Bound - which he said he sang at the Olympics in '88
Intermission at 8:52, concert resumed at 9:10
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - came with a fir amount of commentary about a new tv special on what really happened to the ship - it broke in half
Spanish Moss
Don Quixote
If Children Had Wings
Waiting for You
Make Way for the Lady
If You Could Read My Mind
Baby Step Back - commented that this was the first of ten shows and they are pretty fresh :-)
Restless
Canadian Railroad Trilogy - sung by request sent into his office, he seemed quite tickled at that
Song For a Winters Night - Cleveland July thunderstorm story
Blackberry Wine
Encore - Old Dan's Records
The band seemed very much on & to be having quite a good time. Audience was rapt, except for one very obnoxious dude who must have been muzzled at halftime. Mr. Lightfoot looked good - more chatty in the first set & down to business in the second. I'm so glad to have had the chance to see them all again. It was a treat.
