Re: Bonnie Raitt
The show I went to Friday night was terrific! It was Bonnie's 64th birthday, so she was in an especially festive mood.
Marc Cohn opened. His biggest hit is "Walking in Memphis" and you can imagine the reception that got here in the title city! He told a cool story about visiting Memphis before he wrote it and how much it meant to him. We gave him a standing ovation. He signed CDs afterwards, and I got one!
Bonnie came out about 9:00 looking terrific and ready to roll! Bonnie is known for varying her setlist. You can find the Memphis one posted here. She played every song I wanted to here except "Love Sneaking Up on You."
My favorite by far was "Angel from Montgomery." She sang it with tremendous feeling and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Magnificent.
I also enjoyed "Something to Talk About," "Thing Called Love," and "I Can't Make You Love Me." She performed several songs off of her most recent album, Slipstream, and that went over well, too. However, she said she might take a couple years off to make a new album in a few months. Good news for Bonnie fans!
During the encore, some road crew members brought out a cake in the shape of a guitar. They were all dressed like Elvis and Mike Finnegan, who was also in full Elvis regalia, sang "When I'm 64." She was very surprised and delighted, too!
Also during the encore, Keb Mo and blues legend Carla Thomas came out and performed with Bonnie. Everyone was having a great time!
Overall, a fantastic night!
Always in our hearts, Never forgotten
