ok so I need to bone up for the St. Paul shows and need to know what I need to know.

I have the following: greatest hits, wildflowers, full moon fever and have echo, damn the torpedos and southern accents on order. is there anything else I should get to have a good understanding of the catologue? like am I missing any key albums?

    I'm by no means an expert, but Long After Dark and Hard Promises are both amazing.
    Using the word "methinks" in your message board posts doesn't make you look smart.

    get to know "GGGGGGGGGGLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIAAAAAAA!"

    a great tune they do usually in their encores....not sure what album its on, if its on an album of theres at all actually. You should probably brush up on 50s rock by artists like Chuck Berry. They love covering those oldies and its creates quite a good time.
    What?!? No, We can't stop here, this is bat country.

    I've always thought that "The Last DJ" was a really good album. I don't know how frequently they play songs off this album, it's great start to finish. The whole album is about money and music. Good for the summertime especially.

    I passed on this one because I heard nothing but negative feedback in regards to it.

    All you need is "Greatest Hits" and whatever his new album is. Cause, that's all he'll play. Trust me.

    his live shows seem to be very hits-oriented...very standard. check out the setlists on his website.

    i'm hoping he'll do some Handle With Care at the st. paul shows...ed could join in too :)
