Calling all Bonnie Raitt fans

UnwindedDreams · #1 08-22-2005, 07:21 PM

Hello everyone, I am going to a Bonnie Raitt concert in Atlantic City on September 30. This will be my first one so would it be possible if any BR fans could give me her usual set. Thanks!

Whatever she feels like playing.

She's not pre-planned to the point of boredom or stiff as all hell like Stevie or the Mac, she changes things up on a nightly basis. Since she has a new album coming out, she'll probably play some new songs.

Enjoy it and let us know how the show was!

"Souls Alike" comes out September 13th, I believe. No idea if she's going to Austin because I don't live in Texas, silly.

Ooh, the same day as the new Sims expansion pack! Looks like I'll be making a double purchase at Best Buy that day.

It all depends, really. I Can't Make You Love Me, Angel From Montgomery, Thing Called Love, Longing In Their Hearts, Three Time Loser, etc. I saw her years ago and she did a kick ass version of Burning Down the House, I'd love for her to bring that back.

And a week before the new Streisand/Gibb album. You know you want it.

Meh...I've never liked her. Aren't all the Gibbs dead?

I know I am really annoying you but will the setlist probably consist of these songs and new material:
Thing Called Love
Fool's Game
Three times loser
i can't help you know
Gnawin' on it
Silver lining
Something to talk about
Hear me lord
Have a heart
Love me like a man
Louise
Dimming of the day
Longing in their hearts
come to me
love sneakin' up on you
i can't make you love me
angel from montgomery
runaway
circle dance
if you could, eliminate the ones you think she will not play or add the ones you think she will. thank you so much dissention!

You stand a good chance of her playing some of those at least. Maybe Nick of Time, Love Letter, Give It Up or Let Me Go, and some Jackson Browne songs, too.

Markolas, I'm sure she will come to Austin - she'd better!

I heard "I Can't Make You Love Me," on the radio today - twice - on 2 different stations. "Angel from Montgomery" is one of my favorite songs ever, no matter who sings it, but Bonnie's version is one of the best!

I saw Andy Gibb at Six Flags. I admit it. When I got my nails done today after work, I heard that Donny Osmond is about to be a grandfather. I'm officially old.
