- The first song that you talked about befuddling you, did it talk about eating at the Empire Grill or following a car to boston?
If so, then yes it was Empire Falls.
- Chris always prefaces Locking Doors because he doesn't want people to think that the veiws expressed in the song are that of the band. So I wouldn't really expect to see it on a cd.
- Do you know any of the words to the song that you are unsure of?
- The Sean and Chris mando duet would most likely be For All It's Worth (see Chris's first album)
- I think the Irish medley would probabley be St. Anne's Reel. They play that one quite often.
- Could the singing in the middle of The Fox have been Subterranean Homesick Blues?

PJ :cool:

That's almost identical to the prior evening in Cinci. You got a couple of things that we didn't get, notably For All It's Worth (the mandolin duet) and Goodnight, The Lord's Coming (which is the actual title of the one you called Love Comes Streaming Down). But then we got a couple that you didn't.

And they didn't do Subterranean Homesick Blues in Cinci, so I doubt that they did it on 12/7 either. I assume that the song Chad couldn't identify in The Fox is the same one that I asked about here on Sunday. So far, no one has been able to identify it definitively. You can read the thread in the General Discussion section (under What Was That Song?).

The unidentified instrumental was probably Cross The Bridge from the Here To There album - it starts out slowly, then picks up speed about halfway through. The unidentified vocal song might have been Trouble, which Sara sings. The Irish tune was likely St. Anne's Reel (which is actually a medley that starts out with some other fiddle tune, then goes into St Anne's Reel when Sean starts to play it on guitar).
