* = not on the setlist

I’m kinda sure they also played I’d Rather Be Blind, Crippled & Crazy, but to tell you the truth my memory is a bit hazy (it was like a NORML chapter meeting). I’m emailing someone else who was also in attendance (hi Andrew) to confirm. Update: They didn’t play it, according to Andrew. I trust his memory of the show more than mine. Update 2: They DID play it, I KNEW it. I got confirmation from someone else.

Of the two nights (I saw them in Victoria, BC on the 23rd) - Vancouver was the winner. Don’t get me wrong, Victoria was fantastic, but Vancouver was just retarded. It might have had something to do w/ not being able to stand up in Victoria. It was a seated theatre - the kind where you’d get “sit down!!” yelled at you if you stood, and Vancouver was GA/standing. That and I was front row, dead center. At times, 3 feet from Derek himself. I arrived 2 hours before the doors opened and was 2nd in line. My bud Andrew arrived 15 min before the doors opened, and stood next to me in the front. Oh well, I brought a book, and had fun talking to the folks in line.

Though this was not a Soul Stew Revival show (nor was Victoria), Susan and Duane played at both shows (Ron Holloway didn’t play at either). I didn’t see any tapers at either show, but that doesn’t mean much.. I hope.. (see “huge amazing fantastic update” above - sometimes wishes do come true!)
