Patriots' Dream!!

never thought i'd live to see the day...

ah, but were the socks red? glad you got your song, todd.

Whole setlists will be forthcoming in a few days, from those who can see to write in the dark. All I can say is thanks to Arlo, Xavier, Sarah, Johnny, Moe and Kris and everyone for another great and timely show. Being there was really wonderful. A little bit of light in some dark days.

What did he wear? Sounds like you all had a GREAT time!

Nice report, Todd. Take 2 clams out of petty cash....

Tell you what, Cheryl..next time he wears something other than black someone will post it. Just figure black is the default outfit.

i call it new york theatrical black...

Okay-doke. Black suit it is...

Cheryl, I did note down everything that everyone in the audience was wearing too. I could post it here, but due to bandwidth concerns, I don't think it would be a good idea, but I could e-mail it to you if you like. But the sort version would be that for the most part, almost everyone there was naked under their clothes, except for those that were wearing their hearts on their sleeves.

Yeah Todd, glad we got to hear that one too.He did it sunday night as well.

two wonderful evenings in the church thanks to arlo, xavier, sarah, johnny, mo and krishna! probably 3 evenings, actually, but i couldn't make friday's show. for a little bit on sunday night i thought i was going to be able to just say "ditto" to saturday's set list, but then arlo changed things around and made me do more writing.

The biggest surprise I had all weekend was at the sound check Friday afternoon. After trying to teach Sarah and the boys "Patriots' Dream",Arlo sat at the keyboards and sang a song I never would have expected to leave his lips in a million years--"The Ballad of the Green Berets". And very well, too. I almost fell off of my chair!

I'm not as frequent a flier as some of you folks (my first time posting); I've only seen Arlo once this year, and that was last night. I'm not sure if it was the stars, the moon, the general mood of the country or what, but it was the best and most moving I've ever seen him. I especially liked that he dragged out that old chestnut "Last Night I had the Strangest Dream" (I don't even really like the song) at such an appropriate time. It was a very moving interpretation. Sunday was a splendid evening in an extraordinary place. I'm glad we made it up there.

Yeah Bill from Connecticut, that was something. But I have a feeling there will be a lot of old chestnuts getting pulled out by lotsa folksingers with what may lay ahead.
By the way, where are you from?

Long time listener (I've been to 14 concerts, and i'm only 15!), first time post-er. I just have a question... does anyone know what the title of the song is that starts out "In the event of my demise..." I really like it, but I forget the name. And, which album is it on? Thanks!
