So, I was tempted today to go back and see when it was I saw Brandi last year. It's been just under a year if memory serves me. I checked today, and she uploaded last night's setlist to her website. I'll post the order there, and then post the picture of the setlist I got from the stage.
Here's the one from her site...
The only deviation from the setlist was "Throw It Away," which happened right before "Dying Day."
She's got three spots where it just says ME (although I think there were only 2, in actuality)... those were solo spots, and I suspect that she just lived in the moment and played whatever her heart desired at that moment. The first one was "Crazy," written by Willie Nelson, and later immortalized by Patsy Cline. Brandi did that at the other show I saw, and it gave me the same goosebumps last night that it did the first time. The second was John Prine's "Angel From Montgomery."
There were 3 new songs last night! "Raise Hell," "Promise To Keep," & "Keep Your Heart Young."
"Raise Hell" is the heaviest thing she's ever done, and it's an incredible song. People who say that something needs to be electrified in order to be heavy should have seen last night's now... acoustic instruments are heavier if they're played right.
They did "Dying Day" out in front of the speakers, solo acoustic. To be within arms reach of the entire band when they did it was something I'll never forget. If proof was ever needed that Ms. Brandi has a hell of a voice, that was the proof right there.
The 3 CDs and the autograph on the setlist are from Lucy Wainwright Roche. She opened the show, and put on a great set. She definitely had stage presence (she'd have to in order to go on before Brandi & Co.). I could tell she was nervous, but she played well, and I got to meet her after the show! We actually got to talk for about 10 minutes. She's a really cool person who comes across as very earnest and genuine. I'll definitely follow her from now on.
Highlights from the night? Overall: "I've Just Seen A Face," "The Story" (with the fiddle taking what had been the guitar solo on record), and "Pride & Joy." Seeing Brandi rock out with the electric is always cool.
Last night's show didn't have "Looking Out," or "Wasted," or "Folsom," but I got to hear the first and last of those in Cedar Falls last year, so I'm not complaining. Between the two shows, I've had what essentially amounts to a perfect experience.
Wilco tomorrow. How unreal is this week? I'll try to post sometime before I leave tomorrow, just so I don't miss a day. It'll probably be a short one, but it'll be there nonetheless.
