Thunder would be a good opening song other realistic openers
Rollin' And Tumblin'
'Til I Fell In Love With You
Honest With Me
The Levee's Gonna Break
my dream openers for this next tour:
Folsom Prison Blues
Subterranean Homesick Blues
Cold Irons Bound
Everything Is Broken
Dirt Road Blues
Day of the Locusts
Changing of the Guards
Handy Dandy
I haven't the froggiest idea,
but if things start getting mejor around
Rollin' and Tumblin' (according to a Santiago
reviewer) then let's start with Rollin and Tumblin'
Anyway, I'm still into the Pulitzer Felicitacion
stuff; good try though.
Levee's opened in Philly and NY back in '06. Works better in slot #5 IMO.
Thunder would be a great opener, but it's probably not gonna happen so long as Bob is playing guitar at the beginning of the set.
Remember back in '05 when the openers were To Be Alone With You, Drifter's Escape, Maggie's Farm, and Tombstone Blues, and which one it was always depended on the day of the week? None of those were played last year and only Maggie's and Tombstone Blues the year before...would like to see those make a return, but in the #4 slot or whenever Bob switches to keys.
I'd like to see a Gotta Serve Somebody or Down in the Flood or Silvio opener.
well, an energy improvement from fall 2004 (big letdown)...sure...but anything prior to that I am quite serious in my opinion. Not saying it was Bob's personal energy...in fact, I find him in better voice during those Merle shows in April 05 than I do of most of 04 and parts of 03. But when the music/vocals got to a certain level it was kinda stuck there. So, it was the same energy throughout...energy-re-visited.
