Notes:
Elevator to the Moon - Bruce on vocals
Spoonful - JB & Tinsley on vocals
Stag-o-Lee - Jojo on vocals
Me & The Devil - JB on vocals

...Bond - Bruce on vocals; this is an old Blind Willie Johnson tune, also
covered by Taj Mahal, among others (Blind Willie is also credited
w/ Nobody's Fault, fyi).

Jam - the stage setlist that Richie & Evan showed me did not list the "Bond"
tune, but it did say "Black Bottom", which could be the name of this
jam, but I'm not sure.  Have to do more research into that.

Born in Chicago - Bruce on vocals
Fixin' To Die - Bruce & Jeff Mosier on vocals

IWYW / Walkin' Blues - Tinsley on vocals; he only sang a verse or two of
Walkin' Blues if memory serves me.  This whole thing started off with
with Todd on drums & Yonrico on cowbell, but Yonrico took over Todd's kit
midway through and finished out the song.  Jojo wasn't playing at the start,
but he came in towards the end.

Trondossa - Bruce on vocals, of course
Poor Boy - Bruce & Jeff Mosier on vocals
Bass & Drums & Jojo bit was a little crazy.  As has been mentioned, Jojo
was beating on his Leslie cabinet with a plunger.
One Kind Favor - Dave on vocals

Jam - the jam out of OKF was very long and had lots of components, but the
one I kept hearing over and over was, I think, "Bolero".  I'll have to
find my copy of Bolero to be sure, but I think it's some tune that Jeff Beck
and/or the Yardbirds, Cream, etc. covered.  The only vocal bit was part of
"I'm So Glad" by Skip James (covered by Cream on Goodbye Cream).  I don't
recall hearing any "Third Stone" or "Astronomy Domine" in there, but I could
be wrong, there was a lot of jamming.  The stage setlist just said "Jam" as
I recall, but maybe Richie or Evan can clear that up.

Workin' On A Building - Jeff Mosier solo on banjo/vocals

Jam - The stage setlist said "Go Down" as I recall, with no mention of
Time is Free.  I guess the jam could be "Go Down" (?"Going Down" by Freddie
King?).  Or it could just be referring to the scaling of the jam, I dunno.

Time is Free - Bruce on vocals.  JB also sang some improv during this, and
later strapped on his guitar to jam.

Key To The Highway - Tinsley on vocals.
