Great concert

Saw him in Boston. It was good, though not as good as the STP or OnEveryStreet tour, IMHO. However, it was a smaller band/production/venue concert and I did enjoy the intimacy of it.

The show did start with Wye Eye Man, which is from Ragpicker's Dream album. (What did they open with in Radio City?) I was surprised that On Every Street was completely left out. I also thought that I kept hearing bits of guitar solo from Once-Upon-a-Time from the Alchemy (live) album.

I was unimpressed with Sailing to Philadelphia this time around. (A sensational live version of this track and three others were included as an additional CD with the Ragpicker's Dream album in Canada.) I also wished that Speedway solo wasn't shortened. Telegraph was simply outstanding; the best I've ever heard.

I stand corrected- he did open with Wye Eye Man- the one song on Ragpicker's dream I never listen to. Guess I forgot. The concert was so damn good I'm still thinking about it :)

Saw him last Saturday at the Montreal Jazz Festival (they should rename it the "Music Festival" and quit this misleading advertising). Any way, I digress: yes great show. The one thing that struck me that is not as evident; song for song, on records is how truly morose most of his songs are. The slow ones more so.
