Rainbows CadillacEncore: Big Rumble
Denotes Accordion*
Denotes Dulcimer^Interesting place to see a Noisemakers show; not exactly where I’d expect to see one, but hey, I’ll take. The crowd actually wasn’t too bad, there seemed to be a good chunk of knowledgable fans, though of course there were probably about 50 senior citizens who walked out halfway through which was hilarious.
I have to say set-list wise, this was definitely one of the better ones I’ve seen live. My jaw dropped when Bruce started playing Pastures of Plenty (JV’s jaw dropped as well! haha). I hit on both of my requests right off the bat in Great Divide and Red Plains which was awesome.
Line In the Dust was pretty cool. I was almost going to request it, but someone from the audience yelled it out. Bruce and JV (it seemed) wanted to play it really badly but the new guys didn’t know it. So Bruce played most of it solo, and then the rest of the band kind of joined in playing for a bit and then it finished solo. My guess is this will be played with the band at least once before the tour is over as it seemed like Bruce really wanted to play it.
Halcyon Days was similar to Line in the Dust as it was requested, started out solo and then the band gradually came in.
Big Rumble was a great encore and Ross did a solid job on backup vocals (as he did all night on Red Plains, Dreaded Spoon, etc).
Overall it was a great show and can’t wait for the next one I’ll be able to see. Nothing like a Noisemakers show. Always an unbelievable experience.
A great setlist and a pretty awesome performance. I still cannot believe he didn’t do. ” The Way It is”, Mandolin Rain, End of Innocence, Valley Road, Show Goes on Etc!. First time I’ve ever seen him do that. Which I think he really enjoyed!

I loved that he didn’t play any of them.
How about this tweet:

When you have 2 hits in your life , it’s a good idea to play at least one of them when you have a concert @brucehornsbyThis might have been one of my favorite Noisemakers shows ever. Nay…was my favorite.
Apologies ahead of time if I annoyed anyone with all my Green Rocky Road yelling early on….he had my wife and I laughing so hard (believe it or not that was one of my 2 requests)…
See anyone recording this show? I pray this one comes out.
I tried but levels were too hot. Pretty much a useless recording…..hopefully one surfaces. Really enjoy Red Plains
AJ, did you get some of the show though? May not be the best but I’m certain it’s better than nothing if you can release any of it!

Ah, so that was a prequel to Pastures in Florence, SC (surprisingly sold out in a nice modern PAC). It was one of my requests assembled before I heard (barely) a short version in the soundcheck after almost half an hour of Hot House! I know someone has the Richmond 8/18/15 list which included Resting Place; Pete & Manny; End of the Innocence; Gonna Be Some Changes Made; Funhouse; three visits by Bobby Hornsby including Jack Straw…encore Cruise Control.
Florence 8/20/15:
Hot House
(??”can’t you lie…Moses..”)>Country Doctor
Crown of Jewels
Talk Of The Town (Ives/Messian)
Every Little Kiss**
Halcyon Days
Spider Fingers>Dreaded Spoon>.Spider Fingers (yes that period was a dead stop)
Manhattan Serenade
Pastures of Plenty
Good Life**
MIA>I Need You**
TSA Man**
Valley Road**
Evangeline*
Tango King
The Way It Is
Black Muddy River
encore Jacob’s Ladder*
*=accordian **=where’s my uppity arrow on this old powerbook?; dulcimer
Gonna ask for Line In The Dust again in Wilmington (and LTCO;Loser;Stander;and my final cryptic plea Z for Place Under The Sun.)^ Great setlist.
Are these outdoor venues that you’re hearing the soundcheck? If they’re indoor venues, do you just show up really early and the theater lets you in without any trouble?
And all those requests you’re going to ask for in Wilmington would be awesome. I got the sense Bruce really wanted to play Line In The Dust. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re ready to do that one now.
The “(??”can’t you lie…Moses..”) is likely “Linin’ Track”. That was the typical lead-in to Country Doctor during the solo tour.

Florence was a modern indoor PAC with a big cool lobby with modern furniture, and before the soundcheck they had the board playing through speakers out there! Box Office closed about the end of the soundcheck, but lobby stayed open (most places wouldn’t!). Someone turned off the great lobby speakers so I had to settle for very meager db through closed doors and masonry. When you’ve heard Hot House and Pastures Of Plenty live, your brain responds very well to a whisper of beauty. So I, alone caught a great 45 minute set. Peter Banta walked by and we chatted about Bruce’s change in focus that made my jazzier selections useless…but mainly, in Wilmington, because of weather disruptions leading to special guests,etc. Read my setlist story. In Wilmington, a very short outdoor check replayed a bit of Pastures/Crown of Jewels/Mighty Rainbow (the new un-cadillac bluegrass jam with Leon Russell persona by Bruce.) Then Bruce asked ‘did you guys see the big (Florence) request last night… ” (that had the soundcheck penned in beside my previously created request for PoP) “it’s like some guy was at the soundcheck…”. Hmmm So my request that I gave Chuck before the Wilmington show while the weather was dripping just happened to have two “L” songs that I forgot were part of a MN Zoo soundcheck that only I hung out for (I posted this story somewhere), so I hope I didn’t piss off Bruce by penning in that info as well! So, Biltmore line starts at 4:15 and Blues Traveler does a great 20-30 minutes soundcheck (close to actual concert set length which was shortened by a second night of weather evacuation, and displaced GA seatholders. Bruce ignored the no standing zone in effect for Blues Traveler and invited a party down front which was attended by hundreds. A nice couple validated my eviction of my aisle seat poacher after my tour of the Biltmore basement, and I didn’t mind the aisle filling up after I seated my tall self, Bruce lightened the animosity for some by breaking the rules!) No Noisemakers check, Chuck Keith sets it up from experience. It’s like a box of chocolates.
