The return of "Irish Dream" and "Eddie's Concubine" was nice, and "Jerusalem" was timely, but the best was the return of the "I Know You Rider" medley. Mike was in fine form, possibly spurred on by the announcement he's getting married this Sunday (at one point he let the band know they were invited). Joe was sitting in the balcony and was not able to make it downstairs to do "the Joe" during "The Three Fine Daughters Of Farmer Brown", so after it was over, they found him upstairs with a spotlight and had him do it. Julie forgot the lyrics to part of "The Three Fine Daughters Of Farmer Brown" and "Eddie's Concubine" (but the latter song mostly due to Mike's antics). They finished off the main set with "Old Dominion" to the usual enthusiasm (and the only time everyone got out of their seats for a song), and encored with "Walk Humbly, Son". I think the highlight for me was the intro to "Great Day" - it really captures the essence of the band: JULIE: We've been singing this song a lot, and the message of this song has become real important to me, more so in the past year. The message is pretty clear, it's not too hard. It's - uh - it's relly clear, it's so clear I forgot it. ROBBIE: I thought you were getting all choked up. JULIE: No, no. I got it. The message, the message is... ROBBIE: Oh, it's really gonna work now. Quiet everybody, Julie's got something sensitive to say. Starting with - go. JULIE: The message is: keep the faith, believe in yourself and celebrate life. (APPLAUSE) And uh - y'know, I have the first part down pretty good; keep the faith and be strong. It's the celebrate life part that I have trouble with. And it's not so much the celebrate life, but more sort of the living in the moment, trying to appreciate the here and the now. What I've learned - what I've realized, even more so in the past year, even very recently, is that life is precious, and life is short, and life is so much better when you can appreciate each day for just the day, and you can appreciate moments like this, and you can appreciate this beautiful night. (APPLAUSE) And I challenge everybody to keep that in the forefront of their mind. I would be remiss if I did not send this out to the people who are here tonight that were brought into my life through bad circumstances but are part of my life. And I'm very very grateful they are part of my life, so this song, "Great Day", can go out to all the folks from the Virginia Hospital Center who are here tonight. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. (APPLAUSE) 1. This Is Me -> 2. And The Rain Crashed Down 3. Lady Freedom 4. Independence, Indiana 5. Great Day 6. Irish Dream 7. Jerusalem 8. Alone 9.
