Going to the vic.....I feel bad for glen today....we saw him in Minnesota last year. He told us great stories about seeing Prince the night before. You could tell he ment alot to him....then they played a killer version of ' the cross'. I hope he's doing okay today.
Does anyone think it is worth it to see Glen two nights in a row? His shows are great but I am not sure if he varies his setlist enough from night to night.

I think it's very worth it...I've see him many times back to back in different citys...never in the same venue (minus pj20 and when he opened for eddie). I've never had a bad time on the second night.

Seems like he doesn't switch things up all that much usually, from what i've read (and repeats stories, etc), but still, it's such a good show that 2 has to be better than one.

I'm with PJ_Soul. When it's just Glen, without the band, he mixes it up quite a bit from night to night. With the band the set doesn't change a whole lot from one show to the next, but it's SO good it's definitely worth it.
This tour is a very different set up than previous tours so it's likely a lot of things will change up night to night. I saw two shows he did this past weekends X they couldn't have been more different.

Have you seen him before?
I have seen Glen probably 9 times (4 times opening for EV) - both with the full band and solo.
Glad to hear that he will mix the shows up for this tour.

I'm way out of the loop - what's different about this tour's setup?

Totally stripped back. Glen with guitars and piano, Joe on standup bass, Ruth on keys and the three girls on strings.
Totally different than the big band set up of the last few tours but better as it relates far more to the album being much more stripped back.
you guys should listen to this..Glen curated a concert called Imagning Home, part of the 1916 centenary celebrations here in Ireland...Glen plays and marketa and a number of other musicians poets and writers..its a brilliant and powerful couple of hours. youll be glad you listened.. http://www.rte.ie/radio/radioplayer/rteradiowebpage.html#!rii=9:10551757:22376:02-04-2016:
Just got the Lowly Deserter EP box set from that Italian label.
Man O' Man is it a fine piece of work
Will try to post pics
Anyone else order this? I ordered back in April (or May) and haven't heard anything. Sent them an email and they haven't responded. That was a couple of weeks ago. I just ordered the EP.
So excited for the Ann Arbor show. Glen shows are some of my favorite things in the world.

As I mentioned over on The Porch, I have tickets to see him out here in San Diego in a few weeks. I couldn't get to the Carnegie Hall show (just moved, NJ -> San Diego), but I'm very much looking forward to seeing Glen and the *awesome* Colm Mac Con Iomaire, who is opening (here, not at Carnegie Hall). Hmm. I think Colm needs his own thread; I don't think I made one before.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
Just got tickets today for Carnegie Hall on Wed.! Can't wait!
