Dave Rawlings Machine at the Capitol Theater at Overture Center.
They started & ended with songs the Dead also covered – Monkey & the Engineer (Jesse Fuller), and Goin’ Down the Road Feelin’ Bad (trad. arr.)
Here’s the set list:
Dave Rawlings machine 10/30/2015
Monkey & the engineer
Is it candy?
The weekend
Wayside/back in time
Young boy (is to be sad, is to be high)
Luminous Rose – Robyn Hitchcock, from Globe of Frogs, my first Robyn Hitchcock album, but Peter Buck doesn’t play on that track so I didn’t pay as much attention to it as Chinese Bones and Globe of Frogs.
Keep It Clean – Willie Watson sings lead
The trip
Too easy
Ruby
The last Pharoah
He will set your fields on fire – featuring the bass player (Bill Monroe cover, I believe)
Sweet tooth – another one about candy
I hear them all – this land is your land
Call & response – Stewball
Don’t go chasing white ponies
Short haired woman blues
Queen Jane Approximately – covered by the whole Dead and I think JGB as well
Miss Ohio – I was wishing for a Miss Ohio – which I of course first heard performed by Robyn Hitchcock, with Gillian and Dave – and Peter Buck, and John Paul Jones
Going down the road feelin’ bad
Don’t leave nobody but the baby – acapella
The weight – which seemed appropriate since I had just watched (on YouTube) RH the Sadies perform Stage Fright entire, at Winnipeg Folk Fest.
And, I like how the cover picture looks like a daguerreotype.
