----
Long May You Run (Simone said that it was written for a car, but he was singing it for his brothers, with Ian, James, and Claire Felice, Christmas, & Farley joining him on stage!, written by Neil Young)
Two Hands (with Ian on guitar, and Christmas on bass)
Radio Song (again) (with Pete on Sax, sung by Ian, James, the Deacon, and, last verse only, Simone)
Still Remember Love
One More American Song

Simmie played electric violin on Scarecrow, Suzanne (intense jam with Chicken at end), Mercy, Long May You Run, possibly others.

Simone was surprised to see the Felice Brothers band in the audience -- he was not expecting them.

thanks to Mercy again for on the spot account of a local show.
