Wings, please!

Post by Finnsaremorefun »

Just my humble request to have 'Wings' in the set list for Detroit. Certainly Will's song is my favorite on the new album!

Or if not, I would settle for "All the ways that I want you" as an encore..it seems like RM has been polishing it off again recently. That'd be nice.

Okay, if we're getting into requests again, I'll get down on my knees and BEG Jimmy to please, please, please sing "Take Another Road" at Alpine! I heard a recording of it from a show earlier this year (St. Louis, maybe?) and can't believe he isn't singing it at all of the shows - it's an awesome version. My son and I can't get enough of it. If I'm going to get greedy, I'll also request "Tonight I Just Need My Guitar" or "Oysters and Pearls" for the encore. Pretty please, Jimmy, for my 50th birthday gift?!! [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

Since you have opened up the request line for Pine Knob, I would absolutely break down if "Breathe In Breathe Out Move On" was played. It was (is) the mantra of my dear pal, Shrimper Don who lost his battle to cancer just about one year ago. In fact he will be about one month shy of his one year anniversary of leaving this world. That would simply be amazing and a true sign that he continues to watch over his Thin Line Crew...


(thanks for letting me say this--even if it doesn't happen I feel much better now.....) Yes, as I think about it, Wings then Breathe would be a splendid encore. Doesn't even need to be in that order.....


Thanks, Bubba. I knew you would think of Mal's dad and do the right thing... :)
well, ummmmmmm, yah, I guess I better come up with something witty to put in this spot since everyone is reading it.......

Yep, and it was really nice to get some harmonica from Johnny Martini when they did it last time.

He DID; he played Wings Saturday night.

Now, I just looked it up in the Song & Lyric Database and I found these lyrics:
"I’ve been treading on the mountains of the moon
on a weekend wind"

Which I have been hearing as "I've been shredding on the mountains of the moon on a weekend whim"

Which makes more sense to you?

Later, I see "I've got fuel here in my bong", which I've been hearing as 'fuel here in my phone"... in this case the written one makes a lot more sense!

Shredding = snowboarding I believe so that makes sense.

Yup, snowboarding was my first thought. And I keep imagining I hear "on a weekend buzz", but that's just silly... 8)
