Dude. Boston.

Wow. That Boston show was amazing. ANND get this: He took requests for a second encore and did Save Me a Place (W/Band) and Down on Rodeo (Minus backing band) totally unrehearsed. Crazy stuff. Awesome show.

Wow! By the time he gets to San Francisco I hope he'll be doing a whole bunch of extra songs. Keep requesting new songs everyone!

That's awesome!! I am going to yell out Souldrifter I think.

Really... Great! Save Me A Place deserves to be there... Great addition to the set. How did DOR sound all by himself?...

Actually, really good. It sounded weird without the background vocals during the chorus, but it wasn't nessicarly bad weird. Just different. I'm not sure which one I like more. Hmm. I hope a boot surfaces.

Well holy freakin cow, that means he played all 3 songs I wanted to hear on this tour? Man, I shoulda been in Boston!

Under the Skin
Down on Rodeo
Show You How... sigh.

Hopefully he plays them in Portland.

I'm glad he's doing things like taking requests. Makes the tour much more interesting. I honestly didn't think it was something he had in him until this tour started. Very cool that he is doing it.

He's the dude indeed. I'm thrilled that he loosens up. Maybe not in the autographcrowdpleasing, but in the fact he just serves what we want in a small part of the show. Music. that's what it's all about.

goldie · #9 10-14-2006, 06:53 AM

oh WOW! I'll take these unrehearsed encores over an autograph anyday!

Enchantd58 · #10 10-14-2006, 08:15 AM

Those impromptu adds is what makes a live show so cool - kind of like a Springsteen show, where you never know what's going to be included from night to night, and I've been to shows where he adds a song someone screams out and it's so raw & excellent because it's in the moment, if that makes any sense.

Sounds like a great show - anyone make a recording????

Me too. I wish someone would request Lola next!

I hate to say it but other than the "Frozen Love" bit on Sound Stage, when was the last time Stevie took a request? I hope some of LB's spontaneity carries over to some FM shows in 2008 and rubs off on her!

The show was not a scrap on the NY show but when he played DOR i was going off, hardly anyone near me even Knew the song, it was way better than on the soundstage DVD and it should be a set staple.

The Boston crowd are werid, first they come half an hour late, then there was some nutcase it a hockey mask dancing during IKINW, then half leave after holiday road..., im non bias here, im australian and have no prefrence to any City. but boy the boston people are a few bagels short of a bakery>>>>

I really hope there was a taper in Boston; I want to hear DOR. There was a taper in the crowd in NY, I got a PM on Dime about it...I just hope it is uploaded.

This is disturbing

Was the venue sold out or mostly full?

They are still the strangest Americans i have met....
tonight show hopefully will be better, last night he also made a few mistakes, stuffed up the lyrics to It was you, and red rover. made a few guitar errors on big love and go insane, NY was flawless this was diffrent, but i have so much praise for DOR that was just the highlight.
