Or as I like to call it, the Lee Berk Center 🙄 …I’ll be snagging one as soon as they’re available.
Who else shall be gracing the hallowed halls? 😆T
If anyone is interested, as of this morn (8/18 in the a.m.) tix were not available at the Berklee site, nor was the date showing up. However, I called the Berk and spoke w/customer service, who said that the date was legit and that tix could be purchased at Ticketmaster, AK(to yours truly)A TicketBastard. So I got one, a fairly decent one I might add, and sucked up the ‘Bastard shite. Oh well

I’m with you…hate Tktbastard, but I also bit the bullet. I have left orch seats, but it’s the Berklee, so it’ll be good. I cannot wait.
Hello peeps —
Your somewhat sleepy and road-weary (Boy that’s the last time I drive to Beantown solo! Whew…The 70 mile drive to the Egg on Thurs. will seem like a walk in the park compared to last night’s 130 mile-one wayer…) narrator here with a hopefully coherent and informative mini-review and setlist from the Lee Berk Perf. Center, aka “Berserklee” a la BH. (A note about the setlist — if you remembered your pen and pad to jot everything down in correct order, feel free to add corrections. I”m doing this from memory, which as we know, is SO reliable
)— Sticks
— Funhouse
— Levitate
— Invisible
— Walk in The Sun (great drum/bass/piano improv)
— ShadowHand (on the dulcimer!)
— Snoop Dogg Town
— Mandolin R (minor key, with a breezy quasi-Windham Hill quality)
— Dreamland
— Boo R (fantastically out Sonny solo)
— Spider F>Q&A>Spider
— Way It Is (solo, then a semi-ska style until the end)
encore
— Space Place
— Here We Are>End of The Innoc.>HereJust goes to show you every show is truly different — a bit subdued (BH remarked about the ‘ballady’ — my word, not his — nature of the set after one lady yelled out “Fields of Gray” and another “Halcyon Days” immediately after or around “Dreamland”) but not without many hot moments — “Walk,” “Spider,” etc, and somewhat shorter playing time than I expected but what the hell…it still rocked.
Like I said, feel free to correct my hazy memory and questionable subjective judgements 😆
Can’t wait for the Egg on Thursday.T

Thanks for the peer-review, L. I’m a bit upset at myself for forgetting “Place” and “Defenders”….!
A funny bit I just remembered — after “Spider>Q&A” and right before doing “Way” BH engaged in one of his gently snide asides about his “hits” “fans” (sorry for the quote condescension, but I couldn’t resist). He mentioned that Ornette Coleman had played down the street from the Town Hall gig Saturday night and wondered aloud about Berklee’s appreciation for Ornette, getting a fairly loud response. Then he segued into a semi-Southern yahoo voice with “Play that song, that song I know!
All he’s been doin’ is playing some Gary Coleman song!” 😆T
