Thanks to John Phelps for this one - and especially for sending me a recording!

Wow, what a great night. Bruce and the Roanoke Symphony really sounded great tonight, and Steve Kimock was a very nice added treat. This was the second time Bruce has played with the RSO, but after this evenings performance you would think they had been doing this for years.

The set list is as follows:

2 songs were performed by Symphony before Bruce & Band joined. Excuse me, but I don't know the name of either song.

Bruce & Band hits the stage about 8:15

Harbor Lights
Long Tall Cool One
Lost Soul
Mandolin Rain >
That Would Be Something >
Mandolin Rain
(Bruce talks for a bit, and starts picking on a guy in the Symphony. Stinky Floyd I think he was calling him...pretty funny, he gave this poor guy a hard time all night long. Had to be there type of thing...)
Night On The Town...
(Bruce has to help out drummer Bonaparte with the arrangements. It was only his second time playing it, and he did'nt have his setlist...also pretty funny).
I'm In Love (Bruce, Band, and Kimock)
End Of The Innocence
(Bruce and David Wiley b.s. for a few, then work out arrangements for next song).
Mozart(I apologize once again for not doing my classical homework) >
Great Divide. Very Nice Ending!!!

---Intermission---

The Way It Is...(can't wait to hear this one again, best version I have ever heard. Bruce, Band, Symphony, and Kimock all really shined on this one, great energy).
Song A
Road Not Taken >Sister Fortune(I believe this is the correct name. Usually listed as "Workin' In A Coalmine").
White Wheeled Limousine...(was really hoping to hear this one again, and it was even better the second time around...smokin').
Encore: Red Plains..(although I maybe would have liked another selection for an encore, this was still Bruce, and it still rocked)
