Hi All,
A few corrections. They played Gypsy on 9/23. It came after one of the short 2 minute breaks. Followed Come in the Setlist. It is memorable for the fact Stevie came out in the the High Heeled Beige Boots and the crowd in front of her was pointing at them and Stevie smiled and said to this crowd, kind of off mike, just for this song....
Also not sure if this show will be a soundstage broadcast. It was a lot of the soundstage crew who worked this, but it is intended to be a 2 hour broadcast. I believe you will see this as part of the annual PBS fund drive specials. Soundstage is a 1 hour program which the Chicago taping will be.
A couple of other thoughts. To get down to a 2 hour show won't require all that much editing. There set, less the breaks between encores, is about 2:25. Edit the time between songs during the set and you probably pick up another 5 minutes. Edit World Turning to exclude the drum solo and you get about 8 more minutes. Take Come out and another 8 minutes saved. End with Don't Stop and exclude Goodbye Baby and you pick up 5 more minutes. That alone is 26 minutes. Other targets directors might zero in on for editing: The percussion intro to Stand Back. Some of the pre-song Speeches. These edits are just my thinking as to what a director might choose to do to fit within the time constraints given and to appeal to the widest audience, not the hardcore fan. They would not all be my choices. My point is though that if it is done with some thought there may only be 2 or 3 songs missing from the original set list.
Of course the entire set list would be available on a DVD. Much like the Dance though, I am sure they will take from both nights' tapings and even piece together parts from both nights within the same song.
Not sure if anyone has thought this, but the length of their show would fit perfectly on 2 CD live set.....
