I have always wondered why GL doesn't reserve one or two songs in his sets for "obscure" songs that he would perform for a month or so, and then rotate some more.

As I recall, he did this in the late 1990's when "On Susan's Floor", "That Same Old Obsession" and "Sit Down Young Stranger" made set lists.

And he did it at the Aurora, IL concerts in mid-August when I heard "Bitter Green" for the first time ever, after 28 concerts.

Hope he does more of this to keep us newsgroupers happy and wondering what he will do next.
