Warren, OH - Packard Music Hall 9/16/15 & 9/18/15

[Funk 50]

Well I was embarrassingly way off the mark.

Despite there being no support act, Joe played for about 90 minutes, opening with Walk Away. Pretty Maids All In A Row with a sax solo sounds gruesome. Shadows is a pretty good call. The Worry Song is just about as obscure as the Walsh catalogue gets. I'm kinda glad that he's checking out his, not-so-hot 80s albums.

The "electronic dance music break" that preceeded Funk #49 sounds interesting

Joe Vitale said the set list will be fluid, so I'm sure there are more surprises to come as Joe's tour progresses.

The electric funk dance break was in the MIDDLE of Funk 49 and it was AWESOME!! I only saw video, I was NOT there.

I'd gladly trade away Shadows & The Worry Song for more songs off of Barnstorm.

He did Mother Says the 1st night too. So he went from 22 songs down to 14? I think Turn to Stone is sorely missed! I want some Joe V. flute action!

Jim Fox from James Gang came out for one song last night but I don't know which one. Funk 49 maybe?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah - I'm wondering if this is the complete set list. And I agree with MV about Turn to Stone - that's one of my very favorites. I also miss Help Me Thru the Night, Ordinary Average Guy, and All Night Long. I would also love for him to do One Day At a Time.

Anyway, we need threads for all of Joe's shows in his concert forum. I'll create them and move these posts when I get a chance.

Shadows had an extended instrumental improvisation that would usually form a large chunk of Turn To Stone.

Extra - I've just corrected the omission of Mother Says. . My sources are iffy

[Midnight Visitor]

I just came here to post Club Doc's show. Great that you caught that!

Perhaps I shouldn't post 1st thing in the morning. Of course the 22 songs were your dream list! We always hope for a lot.

Turn to Stone is really missed. I would have traded ILBTs in a heartbeat for it.
