What a brilliant night! I took my wife, son and daughter and we all had a wonderful time. My first Arlo concert was in June 2004 and I loved that - but last night, with just Arlo - it was even better. His voice was clear and strong, really impressive guitar playing, new stories, new songs, and favourite songs and the full Alice's. And we all got to sing along on Alices, This Land and My Peace. Thanks Arlo - thanks for making the effort to fly so far - I know my family are glad you did.

For those who like to know (and it is a habitual practice of Dylan fans like I) here is the set list:

Chilling of the Evening
In The Shade of the Old Apple Tree (I loved this)
Darkest Hour
St. James Infirmary
Motorcycle Rag
Halewia Farewell
Keys to the Highway (very impressive blues guitar playing)
Ragtime instrumental - Dave Van Ronk tune (sorry I couldn't name it)
Coming into Los Angeles
Alice's Restaurant
When A Soldier Makes it Home (really please to hear this live)
In Times Like These (fantastic!)
Piano instrumental - Ragtime (i'm not sure of the title could have been Mapleleaf Rag??)
City of New Orleans
This Land is Your Land (great story about Joseph and the unknown man who said they went that way)
My Peace (really great)

Oh it was great last night in Melbourne. The whole audience really got into it. Loved the last number about peace. Words from his Dad, we all joined in & it was real emotional. He truely is one of the most entertaining, honest performers out there. My Husband & I have been huge fans from Woodstock to Birds of Paradise to present day. :lol:
