Bad Man Walking
Lay Your Burden Down
About To Rage
Don't Stop On The Grass, Sam - Brian Farmer out on stage during chorus with
large lyric cards
I'll Be The One
Life Before Insanity
I'm A Ram
Loser/Terrapin Station/Loser (there was an older gentleman next to me
wearing a red white and blue hat who was an obvious dead fan... I think I
saw a tear in his eye.)
Train Kept A Rollin'....sounding more like Aerosmith version than the
Yardbirds

Set 2 - Curtain comes up on a stage set replicating a 60's soul show. Ron
Holloway Horns up back and to the right of Matt in a raised box, boxes to
either side of the front with a dancer on each. Jimmy Vivino Jamming with
Matt, Danny (in large afro wig) and Andy and introducing the Holloway horn
members and doing a repetitive intro. Warren walks out looking dapper in a
suit and tie sans guitar and proceeds to kick ass. His voice had SO MUCH
soul. So weird seeing him standing up there without a guitar, but he pulled
it off like a champ! I kept picturing Joe Cocker and they kept returning to
a tease that reminded me of The Letter ( I even turned to my friend and
said "Their going into The Letter) but they didn't (yet).

Can't Turn You Loose....
Shake -
Lovin' You Too Long....Jimmy grabs Warren's guitar and hold it up as he
walks from left to right across the stage - The crowd egging him on as
Warren continued to belt out this song. He hands Warren the guitar and the
crowd absolutely explodes as Warren rips into a blistering solo.

Night Time Is The Right Time - (much different feeling than last year. I
remember just being so pumped last year when they did Ocean/Paint/Dirty
work/Don't let it bring you down.. it was just this amazing adrenalin rush
that brought a smile to my face that lasted for days..This year was a much
more thought provoking, emotional feeling. As he sang night time is the
right time to be with the one you love, I felt the love in the room, but I
also thought about my wife who was home with my daughter and felt like I
was missing out on something at home . I promised myself I would plan a
family friendly New Years Eve for next year
