Initial Rumblings

We weren't really sure what to expect in terms of who would play when-or how Warren had planned to kick this thing off. It started pretty mellow with Warren, Hornsby-and a backing choir opening with 'Soulshine'.

This is arguably Warren's signature song, and was a fitting way to start the evening. In the bathroom there was some jubilation among fans that we got this tune as an opener-and not as the closer. It was pretty sweet to see it performed with a choir-although it would have been nice to see the choir bust out into some more rockin' gospel tunes. Still, the somewhat slow start was a reminder that we had quite a long night ahead of us, and that the most bombastic was yet to come.
