What’s you favorite transition from one song into another? I get chills every time I hear Standing On the Moon > Halcyon Days. It flows so well, and the Noisemakers play Halcyon days so well.
Although he’s only done it once, I think the “Puff the Magic Dragon > White Wheeled Limousine” transition was amazing.
As far as the usual fare goes…Fortunate Son into Comfortably Numb.
Both are excellent choices!
Whad bout Children of Zion & Candy Mountain Run! Still havin’ a ball!

This is a good question but man I can think of so many great transitions that are mostly one offers such as the time they did Boo Radley > Harbor Lights, but in a more traditional sense I always enjoy Pete & Manny > Barcelona Mona.
I also like Mandolin Rain > SOTM…especially the one they did earlier this year in Cleveland when they kept bouncing from MR>SOTM>MR>SOTM>MR.
About ten years back Bruce used to do Talk of the Town > The Way It Is, but arranging TWII to a more slowed down jazzier beat. I have a few recordings of them doing that from mostly 00-02 era.GuinnessGoon wrote:JF1 wrote:What’s you favorite transition from one song into another?

But a band can play their own song really well, can’t they?
what about Wharf Rat into End of the innocence from back in 1995, going back aways but that really still does it for me, Cheers phil

Lake Lanier, GAHey, Dreadlock Dave,
Whad bout Children of Zion/Big Rock Candy Mountain/Candy Mountain Run??????
A while back, North Carolina ran a state-wide tourism commercial (yeah, you have to even beg the residents to vacation NC) featuring someone I’m SURE I should know, plunking on a banjo and singing “Big Rock Candy Mountain”. Somehow, though, I don’t think the lyrics were the same………
I ONCE heard Bruce play Free Bird/The Way It Is (to the music of FB)/The Way It Is (played the RIGHT way) followed by “There, are you happy, Miss Virginia Former?!?! 😮 😆

It would be interesting to plot out when and where yelling “Free Bird” became one very large in-group joke of a cliche/cliche of a joke. The joke itself has gone from funny to tiresome back to funny ad infinitum. So BH uses it as a segue…hilarious.
And of course now I can only think of one other example where I heard some comedian request the Skynyrd tune, with it seeming VERY incongruous — on a live King Crimson cd that I’ve got somewhere; Adrian Belew pauses and has some witty quip, and then the concert goes on.

wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh yeah-eah…I am a frequent visitor/patron of Chewnings Tavern at Colonial Williamsburg. A friend of mine plays the bagpipes there as sort of a “roaming minstrel” several nights a week. He says that at least once a night, somebody yells out, “Freebird!” as he is playing. When I am there, it is usually me. It’s almost become an endearment. Believe me, the only thing stranger than hearing this song actually played by Bruce, is to hear it played on the bagpipes. My second favorite thing to yell out at a Bruuuce concert is “Black Rats”. My third favorite is “Let Teresa Dance Onstage!”.
My second favorite thing to yell out to my ‘piping friend is “quit torturing that cat and let it go!”
On a slightly different tone, I would someday like to hear a string of “Gonna Be Some Changes Made/Changes/The Way It Is” . If you are unsure of the inclusion of that last song, just think “Tupac”.
Still couch-bound
