Hi gang,
Just getting my requests together for the show at the Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder tonight … and wondering if there are any reports from the Denver Botanical Garden last night? I hear it’s a great venue. I dragged my feet on tickets for the Denver show, and it was sold out in no time. But I don’t want to waste a request for a rarely played song tonight, if he just played it the night before. Anybody?
We’re working both today and part of tomorrow, so probably no time for a meet-up at this juncture. Hope to meet lots of folks from the Rocky Mountain contingent of Bruuuce fans before the show, though!
So please post a set list from Denver if you’ve got it, and give a shout out if you’ll be in Boulder tonight; it will be my first visit to that fair city!
Also looking forward to hearing Allisa’s feedback from Oregon in a couple days! Soon after, all you Hamptonites will have your day…
Cheers,
Vici dont have the setlist from last night with me, and i missed much of the show for reasons stated in another thread, but among the tunes he played:
candy mountain
resting place
sunflower cat
rainbows
way it is
mandolin rain
lost soul
king of the hill
red plains
dreaded spoonthis is in no particular order.
again, i missed a lot of the show, heard some of it from outside, but completely missed other chunks. so theres a bunch more, of course, and i apologize for not having a complete list, etc. but there was no spider fingers, which im kinda stoked to hear tonight.
hope to see you tonight.
Wow, I’m really out of the loop here! When did Victor move out to Colorado? Forgive me, Victor, I’ve been away for awhile.
Moved in February, mmm … and I haven’t been very active on the boards since then. Still thawing out from the cold winter! Just joking. It’s not bad, not bad at all. Miss you guys in Glory Land, but I think I’ll stay here a while. Enjoy your drive to Hampton and have fun.

Yeah, you can definitely say that again! I was in right field in real life at the All-Star Homerun Derby up in NYC last month as well. You must have seen me on TV, David Day!

* = soloA great show at a nice, barn-like, semi-outdoor amphitheatre/auditorium on a historic Chatauqua mission/park site. I wish I’d thought about bringing a pre-show picnic and lounged on the ample greenspace before the show like so many others. Bruce started at about 8:05 and played until after 10:30 in one whirlwind set that featured most every live favorite you could think of. Not many slow moments for ballad-lovers, but some great riffs strewn throughout — too many for me to recognise or remember them all.
I’d never heard the opener, I Truly Understand, before — probably a number he played with Ricky Skaggs? — but I really enjoyed it. Bruce mentioned he’d been coming to Boulder for years and seemed to be the only band member who recalled playing The Rainbow Room, saying back then they only knew about eight songs. So the set list looked the same every night, but the Dead Heads were satiated with a few covers. Wondering what else he might have played back then, Bruce launched into a few bars of The Entertainer.
Speaking of bars, the new tune, Black Rats of London, sounds to me like a rousing, old Irish pub song. It’s really fun; Bruce played accordion, and Bobby made the EWI sound sorta flute-like as the ladies were called up to dance on stage. My girlfriend, at her first show with the Noisemakers, enjoyed Bruce’s Comfortably Numb “because you can actually understand all the words.”
It was good to hear Down the Road Tonight and See the Same Way again, and the Go Back to Your Woods tease was a nod to my request. However, Bruce wasn’t up for the “Tribute to Le Petomane” that I suggested would go well with Camp Meeting.
Maybe he can work that up by the time he plays for Gorbachev in Philadelphia, a gig he mentioned is upcoming.We got an extra-long encore because Bruce had Mandolin Rain in mind, but he teased Changes Made after somebody gave a shout-out for it; however, JT or whoever cranked up the Changes beat-box thingy, so Bruce completed the whole song.
I’d hoped for a two-setter with a couple more ballads thrown in, but the one set gave it a nonstop, high-energy feel. A great night. Let me know if I missed anything.
