Call Your Shot Ruthie: Notes of Blue Tour Setlist
Brilliant call! Doubtful, but brilliant.Antelope850 wrote:Since it looks like the tour will be going on between March 16-20, 2017 - maybe on those nights Jay plays 25th anniversary versions of Moonshiner, Criminals or a bluesy, electric Sandusky.
We are talking about perhaps the least creative setlist creator in modern music, but hey, it's fun to imagine.

Want vs. Think
I've said before that I think Left a Slide is Jay's finest moment. Like many others here, I would love to hear him play it (I never have). But I think that song falls into the "Want" category. I don't "think" he's ever going to play it again (I recall him telling a fan who wanted to sing it with him that he'd have to relearn it first). And Angel of the Blues--the logical time to play that song was during the extensive tour that supported the album it's from. And he didn't. They are tremendous songs, and for some reason he really doesn't want to play them (no matter how much we want him to).
So in the what I "think" he'll include in the setlist--electric blues-based songs. I already mentioned 15 Keys. 10 Second News is pretty swampy. Route. Straightface. Moonshiner. Carry You Down. Damn Shame. Down to the Wire. Holocaust. Voodoo Candle. I always thought Jay should do Neil Young's Tonights the Night too!

Call out your setlist picks here and maybe Markles Spencertins
will whisper sweet song titles in Jayfer's ear ...
You heard it here first...My money is on:
Left A Slide
Your pal,
Sport Pony
I'd like to hear him go back and rock 15 Keys.

Angel of the Blues
I asked Jay about this song at a book signing--he just said "yeah, it's a sad song". I get the impression he's not enthusiastic about revisiting the place it came from, which is too bad. Afraid Left a Slide came from the same place (they seem to be a matched pair to me).
Based on the sounds so far, maybe something like Fifteen Keys?
