Well done GYM
But you could learn and practise a mnemonic method for remembering lists
see
http://www.rogerdarlington.me.uk/remember.html
"In the
number-rhyme system, you create a word which sounds like each of the numbers 1 to 10. Derren Brown uses these words: 1-bun, 2-shoe, 3-tree, 4-door, 5-hive, 6-sticks, 7-heaven, 8-gate, 9-line, 10-hen. Say you want to remember telephone, sausage, monkey in order. You might picture a bun in the shape of a telephone with the buttons in the form of currants, then a sausage filling up an empty shoe, next monkey in a tree. You have the idea."
I learnt that one from a great UK television series "Use Your head" by Tony Buzan
there is a series of 14 videos on Youtube of that BBC series for example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0Sxmgq2ZOM
describes that number-rhyme system
One link that I recently made was for two shoe
I visualized footprints on the Moon in the "Sea of Tranquility":where else !!)
I use the following for songs 1-10 (image stored on Facebook)
I always use those 10 words ( albeit I use "bun" for one and I find that vine for nine is better than "line", often thinking that a glass of wine is Beautiful: it surprising how often that song is the ninth!!) for the first set (after 10 I improvise) for example 11 is the number of players in a cricket team etc
I then start at 1 again for the second set and repeatedly run through both listings in my head as
the concert continues whilst trying not to confuse the images from the two sets!!
for suggested images up to 20 see:-

I would have wagered that the segue pair were the usual Ribbon of Darkness (with "over you" deliberately omitted then Sundown.otherwise it might have been DSMMM or Spanish Moss
plus A.N.Other??
I have carefully perused the comments on the Glasgow show on Facebook in the threads on the GL Fan Club member page at
https://www.facebook.com/groups/GordonLightfootFanClub/
and noted these two very relevant comments:-
1 Lyn Milne There were a few, High and Dry was one, but he also had a cold . He could have done anything, the audience behind him 150% !!!
and after Char posted a link on that Facebook timeline to rhe setlist such as it was
Phil Hines (of Newcaster UK) added this comment "Minstrel of the Dawn which I thought he did superbly"
If he really did add High and Dry I think it would be the first addition to the list of songs "on rotation" for ages .
I had thought that he might have added Daylight Katy since it was a minor hit in the UK climbing to #41
