The set list for the each night was the same as all nights with just a few changes during the slow section where they move up to sit along the front of the stage. It was another great show and the band definitely seemed looser and less stiff than the first night. In fact the shows just got better and better each night. The boys looked like they were having a great time up on stage and Pete IS still a rock and roll star. He seemed to be having a great time and Ian seemed happy to let him have much of the time in the spotlight at the front of the stage.
Hymn For The Dudes
Rock & Roll Queen
Sweet Jane
One of the Boys
They sang the "We're just two of the boys, We're just three of the boys..." part for the second show and all the rest but did not play it that way the first night.
Sucker
The Moon Upstairs
At this point Ian spoke to the crowd asking how everyone has been after all this time.
"How many are doing well?" (cheers)
"How many are doing medium?" (cheers)
"And who's crapped out? (big cheer!)
then Ian said "Join the club" (and a bigger cheer)
Again they all sat on chairs along the front of the stage to do the ballads.
Original Mixed Up kid
I Wish I was Your Mother
Ready For Love
Born late '58
Ballad of Mott
Sweet Angeline
Walkin With a Mountain
The Journey
Golden Age of Rock and Roll
Honaloochie Boogie - Once again, Stan Tippens came on to sing the verses and this time his microphone worked.
All The Way From Memphis
Roll Away the Stone
I remember Deep Purple being in the Guinness Book of Records for being the loudest band in Rock. I think Pete should be inducted for having the loudest shirt!
All the Young Dudes
Keep a Knockin
Saturday Gigs
The crowd sang the "goodbye" part long after the band left the stage and didn't stop until the lights came up.
This was the only night (of the four we saw) where Joe Elliott did not make an appearance on stage but he was there that night as my friend and I spotted him in the lobby after the show and asked if we could get a
picture taken with him. He was very nice and chatted a bit. He pointed at my t-shirt and said "see that" (pointing at the lizard graphic from the 1st LP) and then pulled up his sleeve to expose a tattoo of the same thing on his upper arm.
I was also introduced to John Fiddler (thanks Davey) who chatted with me a bit and introduced me to Ray Major who was with him. John told me he would be in British Columbia, Canada next summer because it is wine country in the Okanagan and he does a winery tour. He said he would also be playing at a club somewhere and to Google it next summer to find out where it would be.
