Thanks to Arlo, Abe and Gordon for another memorable night. Thanks to Nancy and Albie for scoring the front row seats! Arlo looked good, still sporting a beard and a funky yellow flower in his lapel. (about the size of a sunflower)

John, did you ask him about the flower? Setlist looks vaguely familiar. Hoping that Gordon's CD will be available next week in Harrisburg.

Nice job on the set list dear!!! Thanks to all for a great evening. Wonderful show!! So nice to be transported out of reality for a bit.

Nanc - thanks for getting me a ticket to the show...and then getting me anyway in when I lost it. :oops: uh, Sorry I sorta got you left at the gig.. :roll: . Dinner was excellent! Better than Unicorns!!! We got home with no problems. (at 6 a.m. - The Beagle was ticked!!)

Had a ball - so many laughs!!!

After a 6 month hiatus it was so good to heard a live concert instead of albums!! The boys looked great and gave their 'all' for a wonderful show!! Hope Arlo continues to sport the sunflower - it becomes him!!!

Thanks John for the set list, it was real!!

Regina, it was a blast and a half and Wilmington will probably be two blasts, it was unreal and dinner was a scream!!

Please remember that Gordon's new album "The Last Train", featuring some great musicians including ARLO, will be released very soon. So go get a copy or two when it comes out!!

Love & Peace

Nanc

 Post subject: Wonderful Concert
PostPosted: Mon May 09, 2005 10:46 am
  

Hi everyone,

I just joined this site. I was at the concert on Saturday and it was just wonderful. Thank God Alro is still touring. Great set, wonderful playing and I got so excited I bought 4 Cds that I didn't have and then found this site.


I just got tickets for his performance at the Newport, RI Folk Festival.

I met Arlo many moons ago in FL on a July 4 party at a hotel I was staying at. I was on the road with a band, (I'm a musician) and Arlo got up on stage with us and played a bunch of songs. I was really excited and of course, asked him if he wanted to do "Alice's Restaurant". Arlo said", No man, that's too long!" 8)

So great to find this site and Saturday's concert was one of the best I have been in a very very long time!!!! Thanks for posting the set list!

all the best,
guy

It's a yellow Gerbera daisy with a black center..they grow that way.
Sorry...it's just the florist in me coming out..
There are small sunflowers available now, tho...but most of 'em have stems too huge and fleshy (and eventually, mushy!) to pin on someone...it would have to involve wire and floral tape.
There IS a variety of mum that sort of look like sunflowers ; they're called Viking poms. They make people smile!

Hi - The flower was about the size of a gerbera daisy - maybe a bit bigger, (But Sue is right...it was not big enough to be your basic sunflower!!) It had multiple layers -all silk or silk like material... It was a combination of flowers...cause it wasn't real - So it could be whatever you wanted it to be. It was a very nice shade of yellow and it did make the evening more playful. Nice idea.

Welcome to this wacky wonderful place Guy!!! I agree with JohnC...you have a nice website!!!

Sue you are so dead right on! I consider myself a conaseur of the Sunflower, and pinning one on one's lepal would be like pure lead....


The smaller variety 'Teddy Bears' are small enough for such, but sunflowers just don't do well without water. e.p. they hardly hold up in a vase for that long.

Your probley thinking of a Black eyed susan cross with a daisy>???

What a great show! Thanks for the setlist, John - it helped me decipher a few things I wasn't familiar with.

The show is available for download... details in the Trading Post: http://www.arlo.net/resources/forums/vi ... php?t=2948
