Nope – Hard Road wasn’t played – my mistake. the lyrics were jumping around my head for some reason (too much beer?)
Right – Long Way To the Top – not Little Rock Star.
I was near the front of the balcony and the sound was pretty good up there. I thought her “mood” led to some great versions – especially in the middle of the set.
I was surprised to see how much she leanded on her lyric sheets – especially on Car Wheels.
I won’t complain – rather see the emotion and than the paint by numbers sets you sometimes get. I saw her a couple of times on the Car Wheels tour and it was the same between song patter, same band intros, close to the same set lists.
Well this is about the set list (most of the songs and in about the order she played them) – I’m sure I’ve missed one or two.

Little Rock StarShe was in some sort of mood – arriving a little late – “well it’s about fu***ng time” she announces before starting the set. Set lists were taped to the stage, but after almost nearly every song there was a conference with the band while she decided which song she wanted to do next – which then often resulted in a change of guitars and the laminated lyrics brought out to her music stand. The highlight for me was a devestating version of Sweet Old World….she was in great voice and the tension translated into a great show from the standpoint of the performance of the songs…..after one of the songs near the end she went on a mini rant “dude and fu***ng wife leave in the middle of the fu***ng song – wait till the end of the fu***ng song to leave – if I fu***ng had something I would have fu***ng thrown it at him – this ain’t a fu***ng folk concert”……and at the end of the next song “there’s the fu***ng door – fu***ng leave I don’t fu***ng care” – this all translated to a very rocking end to the show. She looked great – leather jacket, cheetah chrome trousers and Pro Keds.
