Okay, this is what I would want to hear. I'm picking things you don't normally hear him do live, so some of the standards like CRT and Wreck are not included:
-Race Among the Ruins (sung like he does on GGII)
-Don Quixote (so that you could hear him stamp his foot)
-Rainbow Trout
-High and Dry
-Bells of the Evening (with him on piano)
-Spin, Spin, Spin
-Too Late for Prayin'
-Tattoo
-A Passing Ship (pull out East of Midnight and listen to this -- what a great song.)
-Apology
-Cobwebs and Dust
-Station Master
-In My Fashion
-Morning GLory
-Can't Depend on Love
-Waiting for You
-The Auctioneer (this would bring back a few memories!)
-Whisper My Name
-Stone Cold Sober (tissues provided in album sleeve)
-Farewell to Annabell
-Second Cup of Coffee
-Painter Passing...
-I'll Prove My Love
-Never Too Close
-Only Love Would Know
That's about as long as a concert right? This is kind of like picking your favorite Lightfoot song -- picking the ones you would want to hear in concert or a live album is just too hard.
I have to say that if GL told me (yeah right) he could record this dream live album or go ahead and do a new studio recording of all the new songs he's been working on, I'd pick the new songs in a minute. And, I have a feeling I'm not alone in that.
