Hi everyone-

Gordon Lightfoot returned to Minneapolis in one of his most crisp and polished performances that I can ever remember. Just the right mix of humor, story and songs. I have to work tomorrow- so I will just post the set list for now.

2) The Watchman's Gone ("a song about a slow freight to Glory")
3) All the Lovely Ladies
4) I'd Rather Press On
5) Wild Strawberries
6) Waiting for You ("a song with some ooomph")
7) Christian Island
8) Rainy Day People
9) Shadows
10) Beautiful
11) Let It Ride
12) Carefree Highway
13) Cotton Jenny
14) Ribbon of Darkness
15) Sundown
Intermission
16) Drink Yer Glasses Empty (with Michael, some nifty lyric changes)
17) Race Among the Ruins
18) Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
19) Never Too Close
20) Don Quixote
21) Clouds of Loneliness
22) Ring Them Bells ( no mention of Dylan's home state of Minnesota)
23) If You Could Read My Mind
24) A Painter Passing Through
25) Baby Step Back
26) Early Morning Rain
27) Song for a Winter's Night
Encore:
28) Cold on the Shoulder


Wonderfully enjoyable concert with Gord in really good voice right from the start. Several standing ovations. More later-
