> As I recall it, the set-list began (I think in this order):
>         Stairway to the Stars
>         Before the Kiss (A Redcap)
>         Buck's Boogie
>         Harvest Moon
>         The Vigil
>
Ususally, ETI is the second or third tune...

> It continued with these (but I don't recall the order):
>         OD'd on Life Itself

OD'd is often played earlier in the set...

>         Then Came the Last Days of May
>         Cities on Flame
>         ME 262
>         In Thee
>         --some other new song--

Probably Live for Me, though I'd love to hear another one...
>
> It closed with (in order again):
>         Burnin' for You
>         Godzilla
>         Don't Fear (The Reaper)

That's the prescribed setlist, alright...

They include that quite often these days, as they do In Thee

Not exactly a highlight.  AL should stick to the keys, IMHO.  He
sometimes does a pretty awful acoustic blues thing as a preamble to
In Thee.  Adds nothing to the show.  One of the coolest things about
BOC is that their music isn't based on Blues licks, as are most rock
songs.  Nothing against the blues, I like it a lot, it's just
refreshing to hear something else...

Right!  And BD's guitar, right?

> I was quite impressed with Danny's "Monster" Bass playing.  He was

Danny's a great showman, for sure.  Does anyone know if he
contributes anything to the new record, a la Joe B?  Does he co-write
with EB or Buck?

Speaking of EB, how'd he sound?  Any teasing mention of the new
record?  I like him a lot better with longer hair...
