Started off the Friday Night rock show with a reprise of Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life” in honor of his show here Sunday.
Went into some mid-60s spy music and some TV on the Radio and Chuck Prophet, who both have shows in town Sunday, and some Lucinda Williams and Ian Hunter, who put on strong shows in the city earlier this week.
Ten songs from the expanded “Basement Tapes” that represented only a fraction of the whole set. A touch of rockabilly and old school hip hop. Here’s what I played on the radio tonight:
