Gold & Braid was played the first week of the Wild Heart Tour. She performed it 4 more stops after the US Festival. She played it in Norfolk, Philly, NJ, and Pittsburgh. I wish she would have played Enchanted more since she only played it a couple of times. The Norfolk show is on youtube where she plays both Enchanted and Gold and Braid and its a fantastic show. She also stuck with Angel instead of Sara only in her Pennsylvania stops.
For the 24K tour, I thought Gold and Braid was a fantastic opener. Its upbeat, has a great guitar solo and makes a statement for an opening song. Although the early dark versions of Gold Dust Woman with Benmont always are my favorite opener. Those are my all time favorite Gold Dust Woman versions.
