It was good to see my old friend in Cincinnati tonight performing at the Aronoff Center. It was a rainy night but Gordon tried his best to lift everyones spirit with a toe tapper here and there.

His voice was thin and strained throughout much of the show (especially the first 4 or 5 songs) as he played before what appeared to be a capacity crowd. I hope and pray he can get some rest (especially his voice) and come back strong in June. He was quite conversational during the show and even told a joke near the end of the gig.

I hope someone was able to get an accurate set list but here is a close approximation to what he did:
Cotton Jenny
Carefree Highway
Sea Of Tranquility
14 Karat Gold
Never Too Close
A Painter Passing Through
In My Fashion
Rainy Day People
Shadows
Beautiful
The Watchman's Gone
Ribbon Of Darkness
Sundown
The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald

20 minute intermission

Triangle
Hangdog Hotel Room
Restless
If Children Had Wings
Waiting For You
Make Way For The Lady
If You Could Read My Mind
My Little Love
Early Morning Rain
Blackberry Wine

Encore
Old Dan's Records

The above is from my memory and so I'm quite sure I missed the order here and there. He did not do DQ or Baby Step Back. There were shouted requests for Daylight Katy and No Hotel but he did not do those either. All in all...he received a standing ovation for IYCRMM and the crowd seemed happy with his performance.
