I am begging anyone who attended the show in Asheville Thursday night to help me out. I had been up all day after working Wednesday night, and was so tired that I was in a coma for most of the encores. If ANYONE can tell me which songs were the encores, I will be eternally grateful. But, at least here is the standard set list.
SET 1 She Moved Through The Fair The Gates of Istanbul The Mummers' Dance Bonny Portmore Marco Polo The Highwayman Dante's Prayer The Bonny Swans Caravanserai
INTERMISSION
SET 2 Raglan Road The Mystic's Dream Santiago The Lady of Shalott Beneath A Phrygian Sky The Old Ways Never-ending Road(Amhran Duit)
STANDING OVATION Encore #1 STANDING OVATION Encore #2 STANDING OVATION Encore #3 - I want to say this was Penelope's Song, but I just can't remember. Come on, there's got to be someone out there with a better memory than me.
"When Karen was unable to determine which songs were the encores, she actually CALLED Brian on the road and asked for me."
This is truly remarkable! I cannot imagine any other performer's support staff providing such information. And that the information came from Brian, a key group member, is, to me, astounding. Yet another instance of why Loreena McKennitt stands out so prominently.
I corresponded with Karen Shook of Quinlan Road, and apparently, I was confusing "three standing ovations"(for two songs) with "four standing ovations"(for three songs). When Karen was unable to determine which songs were the encores, she actually CALLED Brian on the road and asked for me.
So the end of the concert actually went:
Never-ending Road(Amhran Duit) STANDING OVATION ENCORE #1 - Huron 'Beltane' Fire Dance STANDING OVATION ENCORE #2 - Penelope's Song STANDING OVATION END CONCERT
