Hey all. I made an impromptu 3.5 hour drive yesterday to the show in Pittsburgh. Poured buckets moments before the band came on and there was lightning about 1:45 in and they had to call the show early. That really stunk because it seemed like there was potential for an extremely long set-list! I’m going to list the songs I can remember, there were a LOT of people at this show (free things will do that I suppose) and I’m sure someone will have a more comprehensive set in order…but I will try to piece things together through my memory/pictures/videos while I sit here and rejoice in the fun I had!
Go Back To Your Woods
What A Time
Tango King
Red Plains
(Song I didn’t know somewhere around here)
Circus On The Moon
Mandolin Rain
Defenders Of The Flag
Valley Road
Prairie Dog Town
Resting Place
The Way It Is
Sunflower Cat–Sound check was at 4:30
They played:
Go Back to Your Woods
Tipping song? – instrumental
Miami – instrumental
at this time they were just practicing the instrumentals and Bruce kept asking Chuck Keith if he taped them and was talking about doing them in the studio…new studio album spoiler alert?
–Chessboxer opened at 7:30
–Bruce & The Noisemakers started at 8:20Go Back To Your Woods

Show ended about 10:10
This was a great show…the news guys did alright with some moments where I was really missing Bobby and Doug. Ross was alright but to take over Bobby’s role you gotta damn awesome but he wasn’t. He did have some good solos but there were times where I thought he seemed like he couldn’t hang. However, Ross did great with his band Chessboxer…which was a cool opener and helped forget about the rain fall.
As for Gibb, he did a lot better than I thought he would and looked like he was having a blast. I still prefer Doug’s tone though. Matt Menefee did really good on banjo…he should be in the band while Bruce is on this folky kick.The crowd was huge. There was a noticeable amount of folks that may have been there for the wrong reason but hey at least they got one song they knew and when they heard the encore they thought they were about to get another until they heard the lyrics.
There was some rain during Chessboxer’s set and a little towards the end of Bruce’s set.I’ve been bugging Bruce for years to play Loser and so when he did he looked over at me with a smirk and pointed at me…then later after they jammed it out a bit he forgot the last line and looked to me and mouthed ‘whats the last line?’ I totally lost it laughing at him….and then he walked over to a group of guys wearing Dead shirts and asked them but none of them could say a word. He then sat back down and tried his darnedest to figure them out.
I seen two tapers so hopefully they will upload them somewhere. Can’t wait to hear this show again as the sound up front riding the rail isn’t as good as it would be fifty feet back. Plus I want to hear if Ross sounds better than I remember. I took some pictures and might post them later.
