You can’t keep a good taper down, but if you make the ticket prices high enough, you can keep that taper in the balcony. Here’s our boy Bobby in Toronto (which is a world-class city) from last night. Here’s the setlist:
Loose Lucy
Peggy- O
KC Moan
Easy To Slip
Dear Prudence
Friend of the Devil*
Birdsong*
Jack Straw*
So…does Bobby play any Bobby songs any more?
..
Keep talking like that and you’re getting a “Festival” dropped on you and nobody wants that.
I’ll take a set full of Festival over one I’ll Be Doggone.
How can Jack Straw not be a Bobby tune? Yes, never the same without Garcia, but that’s still got Weir’s voice alone for some lines in every version.
Otherwise, you make a salient point. I’d say he was tired of cowboys, but what would you call the singer in Friend?
