A Tale Of Two Shows- H-S VA, for a crowd of maybe 500, 95% college students although it was Homecoming. Bruce was hanging out with some b-ballers around 4pm and I said hello to Doug. 6pm soundcheck Way It Is; Good Life; WWL. About a dozen people waiting when gates opened at 7:30. Gave my giant playing card collage/request to JT to be ignored as usual by Bruce at my 52nd NM show (I only counted because I was looking at ticket stubs). Opening Act the David Mayfield Parade (solo guitar). Great talent, long pauses for comedy and (he warned the ladies) his “sexy” poses. Noisemakers take the stage at 9:15, Moyes Lucas on drums.

Little Sadie>White Wheeled LimousineHarrah’s Casino Cherokee NC. Contrary to expectations, the overhead walkways did not stink of tobacco (which was plentiful at Lagoon Field in Hampden-Sydney, so much so that Chuck Keith came out during a song to warn frat boys about the clouds blowing toward the stage.) Very Wide Stage, close to 2000? seats, obviously not enough gamblers comp’ed to fill them all. Moyes Lucas on Drums (who gets a rousing ovation from unknowing crowd when Bruce mentions his great drummer Sonny Emory, who is in Taiwan.)

Rainbow’s Cadillac (+JV’s “Brick House” bassline)Show starts at 7:30 while I am leaving top of parking deck; ends at 9:00 (earlier than show started in H-S). Show grosses several times what the two+ hour show in Virginia did at $20 bucks a head. This is only the second time I’ve compiled a setlist by remembering the first initial of each song, and I think it’s complete although I have a nagging memory of the drum machine opening from “Gonna Be Some Changes Made”. Somewhat less chat by Bruce due to time constraints (and wanting to impress the casino?), and the first show of twelve this year that I know, where he didn’t play Prairie Dog Town.

You got dissed too, huh? 😆 P’raps we ought to start a “Reqs Dissed By Bruce (particular tune/s and number of times)…As for “P Dog,” is that a good thing or a bad thing? Are you counting solo gigs? He didn’t do it at Keene, but did at Rutland. Not a fan of that tune, but waddaya gonna do?
Thanks for the deets, HD —

I’ve only been to band shows since June. I thought about drawing a meat grinder eating a dulcimer, but “P Dog” is my only dislike. This reminds me to mention Moyes dropping a spoon that Bruce picked up during the washboard solo at Harrah’s – now that’s a rare stat, like Bruce wearing his super thick “Telluride (he said)” flannel shirt at H-S, where it was pretty cool. Also, I was surprised (not that I haven’t heard many OTHER screw-ups) that Bruce said he would probably screw up the lyrics to Cyclone since he didn’t write them, and then he proceeded to do just that, with lines repeating that shouldn’t have. I have failed to get “Place Under The Sun” played many times, even with some tiny lyrics attached to my latest effort that was about 12X14″ with rounded corners marked with the four suits. I also wonder if Bruce keeps “Pastures Of Plenty” as a memory of RS. I’d settle for the story behind the girl who “thought she was losing her mind”.
Hey HDbahn!
Still comtemplating the Cherokee show! What song was Bruce playing on dulcimer and Mo drop his spoon? That was classic and Bruce picked it up so tactfully! What song was that?
I met JT and Moyes before the show walking around Harrah’s! Last time I saw Moyes was ironically at Harrah’s in Tampa several years ago. Always good to see JT!
Still havin’ a ball!

LL, GASorry I missed you. My mind can’t replay it, but It must have been squeezed into Valley Road (you’ll remember Bruce’s comment about doing that a new way on dulcimer). Tampa was my first Moyes show and the one I’ll remember for getting home to the remains of a break-in (unsolved but insured) and celebrating New Years Eve with the police and boarding up a smashed glass door.
