Last Night I went and saw/heard Randy Newman play 35 songs. He was great, powerful and funny. He was the master I imagined him to be-in control and joking and productive. Before I went to the concert I spent a little time on line looking for a set list from a previous show on this tour and couldn't dig one up so I vowed to write the songs all down and post it. It would be quicker to write down the songs he didn't do!But, actually, because Randy is so prolific and amazing, it's not. Thirty five songs is just a splash in the pond.Here is the list:It's money that I love, Yellow Man, Living without you, Short People, Birmingham, Girls in my life part 1. He had a funny story before playing Girls in my life about how he tried to measure up in the top 100 composers of the 20th century but couldn't do it. I didn't catch who he was comparing himself to but he said, "He worked under Stalin. Now I've worked with people like Stalin.."The world isn't fair, I miss you, Red Bandana, In Defense of our country, Simon Smith and the Dancing Bear, Bad News from Home, You can Leave your hat on, I'm Dead (But I don't know it)Randy got the crowd singing the chorus to "I'm Dead" very well. It was fun and funny. I don't do sing-a-longs very much but that song is so great. "No one is retiring from Rock and Roll," he began the introduction...New song (1), Political Science, Laugh and Be Happy, Last Night I had a dream, Love Story (you + me) "when I wrote this song, it was a parody, now it doesn't sound so bad", In Germany Before the War, The Great Nations of Europe, I want you to hurt like I do, Baltimore, Real Emotional Girl, You've got a friend in me "love song between Woody and Buzz", Jolly Coppers On Parade, Guilty, Dixie Flyer, Red Necks"Red Necks" had a long introduction of Randy actually watching the Dick Cavett show when Lester Maddox came on and was booed and jeered until he left the stage, not able to say a peep. That was the inspiration for Randy's song.Louisiana 1927, Shame, I love LA, I think it's going to rain today, Sail Away, Feels like homeGood ol Randy. (1)he just said, "Here's a new song" Didn't say the name. I don't know it.
