Default Re: Milwaukee Pabst Theater 09/20/07

OK here's the set list from Milwaukee. I'm embarassed to say there were a few (not many) songs which I do not know the names of. Maybe someone can help me out, I jotted down some notes on those songs.

Cotton Jenny
Carefree Highway
Sea of Tranquility
14 Karat Gold
Never Too Close
Painter Passing Through
In My Fashion
Rainy Day People
Shadows
Beautiful
The Watchman's Gone
Ribbon of Darkness
Sundown
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

***Intermission***

Triangle
Hangdog Hotel Room
Don Quixote
Waiting For You
If You Could Read My Mind
Baby Step Back
The Pony Man
Canadian Railroad Trilogy
Blackberry Wine
Old Dan's Records

Encore: Early Mornin' Rain (this time, the story he told about Elvis was not about Elvis changing the lyrics, but about his failed attempt to meet Elvis) He said that when he made his way back through the backstage area, he heard a booming voice that said "Elvis Has Left The Building" I think Gord may have been pulling our legs, don't you? Either way, it was really funny the way Gord told it.

OK all you experts, help me out with those question marks above. I'll keep editing my post until I get the titles right. Evidentally I have a long way to go before I know every lyric and title of all his tunes. Something to look forward to in the future.

Another funny part of last night's concert. At one point Gord was saying how you know tonight he's in Milwaukee, tomorrow he's in Sheboygan, then Rochester, then Minneapolis (he called it Minnie) and then Duluth, and then that was the end of 53 (I think it was 53) shows. I shouted out "I'll be there!" when he mentioned Rochester and Minneapolis. Anyway, then after the concert was over and the lights went up, I was just checking out the notes I had been writing of which songs he had sung, and this guy sitting next to me was looking at me like I was a weirdo or something. And I looked at my notebook, and then I looked at him, and then I said, "I'm an obsessed fan" and he said "I thought so." It was pretty funny. Had to be there.
