Set as I wrote it down � Kristin and Ali sweet-talked Danny into set lists. I know there were some on the list they didn�t play, like End of the World and Old Brown�s Daughter, and they only did one encore though we did try to get them back out again. (I think they were too hot and tired.)

Donkey Ridin�

Billy Peddle � Alan thanked Danny and Tony for setting up the sound system, then went on to explain that Tony also does their hair and make-up and Danny also does the choreography.

When I�m Up � I think it was here that Alan was asking if this venue was actually in Pittsburgh or in a suburb. (It was in Pittsburgh) He told about the time they were in Coney Island and he said �It�s nice to be here in New York� and someone from the audience yelled, �Tell that man this is Brooklyn! Not New York� He said he got out of it by insisting he meant the State of New York.

Goin� Up � Here he was commenting on the fact that it had stopped raining after being so horrible for 2 days straight. He said when they arrived it was still raining so they felt they better call the good Sisters of Mercy back home and get some blessings. �Nice to have the BIG GUY on your side!�

Boston and St. John�s

Paddy Murphy - Alan intro�ed it by saying �I guess you�ve heard enough songs about love far away. Love the one you�re with. Ladies and gentlemen, S�an McCann from Gull Island, Newfoundland. Some of our songs are about drinking, some celebration, and some death. Some are about all three!� And we were �bad girls� tonight.

Consequence Free � Here Alan said he�d absolve us of sins we�d care to do or had done since this was a Consequence Free Zone. �We really can do this! We�re all Catholic, you know!� Then they all proceeded to bless the assembled multitude like four priests up on the stage. It was a panic! And I was caught with my camera down.

Old Black Rum � �And now we�ll take a dangerous trip. Not a physical one, but one through the dangerous waters of Bob�s mind. (Bob smiles and points to his head.) Bob wrote this and insists it�s not autobiographical. (Bob smiles and shakes head NO)

General Taylor � As usual, lovely, yummy, breathtaking.

Fast As I Can � Oh my God, Alan was sooo funny here! He told the crowd, �If you ever want to write a song for your girlfriend, don�t write one where the lyrics say �I'm not ready to say I love you yet.� Then he goes on to tell us that said former girlfriend is now working as a cop. �Yeah, can you see if I get pulled over? 'Put your hands on the car, son� this might pinch a little�� LOL!

Jack Hinks � After a particularly nice time where the group in front of the stage was dancing and singing our hearts out, Alan says, �We�re happy to be here tonight. See, if you build it, they will come. If you build it, they will dance, if you build it, they will sing. And tonight we�ll be singing till 2 or 3 AM.� S�an says, �We should run out of songs about midnight.� Alan � � but then we�ll do some Sarah Harmer ones and some disco and eclectic jazz.�
Mari Mac � Darrell was �helping� Alan play his guitar here.
Ordinary Day
Encore:
I Wanna Be Sedated/Oh Donna � S�an had to entertain the audience while Alan was busy trying to tune his guitar so they could do Captain Wedderburn. S�an launches into this song, sings about three verses and stops. �Are you ready yet, Alan?� �Keep going� Alan says as he�s bent over furiously trying to tune. S�an begins to sing the Donna song. �Have I tortured you enough?� he says to Alan. �No, not yet,� Alan replies, still tuning. At this point Darrell comes over to help with the tuning and S�an is up there trying to explain that he usually doesn�t do all the talking, �Alan usually does this stuff because he is the eternal optimist and I�m not.�
Captain Wedderburn �nicely done by Sarah Harmer and S�an. He was sure to give her a hug afterwards and sang her off the stage � �Isn�t she lovely?�
