Thursday's Pheasantry gig

Wasn't it a treat to read members' reports on one of Pete's concerts in the few days after the event! Highs, lows, emotions, friends encountered, celebrities spotted, a list of the songs played and their variations. Not quite like being there, but some small compensation. Those were the days. But perhaps no-one here was there on Thursday...
For you, Pete has provided me with the set-list:
Sunrise [no guitar]
The Way You Are With Me
Carnations on the Roof
The Commercial Traveller [no guitar]
Rain-Wheels [Pete on piano]
The Road Of Silk [no guitar]
An Empty Table [no guitar]
Canoe [no guitar]
Beware of the Beautiful Stranger
Where Have They All Gone?
Perfect Moments [no guitar]
Between Us There Is Nothing [no guitar]
Ice Cream Man
The Girl on the Train
Senior Citizens [no guitar]
The Hypertension Kid [no guitar]
Me to Thank [no guitar]
History and Geography
Together At Last
Honky Tonk Train
Touch Has A Memory [no guitar]
Still, I must thank all who post here in MV on whatever topic. Without you it would be just snippets of news and gig reminders from me, or from Pete himself. I hope you all realise how much of a boost it is for Pete to see messages of appreciation (although apparently there was no shortage of that on the night, with a warm and enthusiastic reception and a throng gathering around him for the post-show chat, including one chap who'd not seen Pete since 1975 and made the trip from Manchester specially for the event).
Remember, MV is a social construct, and without its members it's a waste of space: might as well board up the shop-front and retire the whole thing to archive status. C'mon guys, let's keep 'The Voices' alive!

Thanks Steve.
My wife and I did very much enjoy last Thursday's excellent gig. We did make a note of the set list and I was going to post it in but you beat me to it ! In my defence I would explain that we only got home last night as we'd gone on to Bath to see Al Steele & Friends in concert on Saturday night which was another great evening (and not just because as one of Al's friends I joined him and the band on stage to sing Blues in the Night from my Return To Vindolanda album !).
Anyway,we're looking forward to the next Pheasantry gig.
Paul

Paul -- what a weekend you had! Far better than posting to flippin' MV -- I'll let you off!
Thank you for supporting Pete. Hope to see you one of these times.
Cheers -- Steve

Thanks Steve. If it's of interest,I would mention that Al Steele is an ex-pat Aussie (as Clive James was,of course) who as well as being a member of The Korgis (best known for their hits Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime and If I Had You as well as other songs such as Something About The Beatles and Bringing Back The Spirit Of Love) runs Shabbey Road Studios in Caerphilly. As a retirement hobby I have recorded with Al a couple of CD albums called Atlantic Coast Express and Return To Vindolanda of songs written by myself and Al and featuring myself on lead vocals and Al on backing vocals and all instruments. Al is also the arranger,engineer and producer of the songs and he and his wife design the artwork for the CDs. The CDs are available from the Korgis Records Artists page of The Korgis official website or from the merchandise stall at Korgis gigs. We're currently mid-way through recording songs for a third album. I was pleased and honoured to be asked to sing a song with Al and his band at his gig last Saturday.
When talking to Pete after Pheasantry gigs,he has been most encouraging towards my musical efforts which is very much appreciated. Many thanks Pete !
