Dear all,
Is there a song of Gords you really like, that he never performs in concert?
Or if he does,he dosen't perform enough.

Frank.

Hi Frank,
I've only seen THE MAN in concert twice, so I don't have much knowledge about what he does or doesn't play on a regular basis, but neither of the times I've seen him did he sing the song he wrote for me . . . Mountains and Maryann. Course, if he ever did, I'd probably jump out of my seat, make a bee-line to the stage albiet knocking down anyone in my way, doing a Superman type leap over the security guards to land gingerly on my feet just inches from the microphone. Two seconds after that, I'd be squeezing the living daylights out of him and saying Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I'd also like to hear him sing High and Dry.

Well Mary Ann you've seen him once more than me! so I'm not an expert on concerts.
I'm relyin' on you great people of the North American continent.
I think I did read somewhere he prefers to perform latter UA material.So maybe you have more of a chance with H&D than M&M.

The exceptional UA song is of course 'CRT',
Which he seems to perform at every concert.
I wonder if he's ever done a concert without it.

Have been going to concerts since 88 I have never seen him perform Sea of Tranquility, Whisper My Name, Salute. He did Tattoo back in 90 at Massey Hall and that was it

Frank, I hate to be so obvious but ...
CHRISTIAN ISLAND! He never seems to sing it nowadays. WHy, I wonder. Would also love to hear again 'It's Worth Believin' and one I've never heard him do in concert:
'Walls'

Silver Heels,
It is strange about Christian Island.One of his best songs.
Great song IWB.He must rate it because he put it on GG2.
Walls is a good opener on TWIF.Small chance of a concert song though,with over 200 to choose from.But as I,ve said I'm no expert.

Frank.
