    If I did not know any better I would have thought this was an old setlist. Like always Yarn proves that they are the best band.

    Let's Get Dark, Madeline, My Wasted Life, Schenectady, It Took A Long Time...

    I mentioned This Whole Zoo to Drunken Angel a while back and he said they were thinking about bringing it back.

    Nice post reckless, seems we were just talking about that in New London. I would love to hear On The Radio, Liquor Love and Blue Skies, Brighter Times and Roses.as well as ALL of the above. We
    were lucky enough to hear Schenectady the next day in of all places Schenectady. Don't know if I ever heard it live before, two days in a row was a definite treat.

    Thanks, this has been a fun thread.

    Lemme say though, although I'd freak out if they actually played that show, this is in no way a complaint thread. Rather, it's a thank you for allowing taping so we have those songs and then a kudos to this seemingly endless river of beautiful and rich songs. I cannot guess what song Yarn might open with and close with the next time I see them. About 90% of the time I see them, Yarn plays something that I've never heard them play before be it a cover or a new original. After 38 years of concerts I can't say those things about any other band.

    I have to admit that I don't even know some of those songs...Desperate Amy for one--time to deep-dive a little more.

    I don't think Tired of Everything is that far out of rotation...or I'm so tired. Looks like they played both as recently as May 2015...

    While it is always great to hear a Yarn "oldie" it does not matter to me what comes off of the stage on any given night. Reckless, you put it in a nutshell with the word prolific, the words and music just keep on coming, it never gets old, it ALWAYS gets better. The band and the "family" that surrounds them are incredible it is that experience that I love and enjoy being a part of. Thank you Blake, Ricky, Bobby and Rod for giving that gift to all of us.

    Please see my user name. When I heard it for the first time, in December of 2006 (pretty sure), I knew Drunken Angel was headed in the right direction.

    It must be amazing to be so close to the genesis of all these songs and being able to help bring them to life Yodel Lay.

    There are three significant dates in my music lifetime.

    9/3/80 - First Grateful Dead Show
    11/18/05 - First Ryan Adams show.
    4/3/09 - First Yarn show.

    I see lots of stuff but not too many leave me pining for the next one like Yarn does.

    So, Reckless, totally off topic, but I was at a show the other weekend and wearing my Yarn shirt (which I frequently do the proselytize) and some guy called me over and started asking me about it, wanted to know if Yarn was still touring, etc. Tells me that he was familiar with them from a while back because, although he had never seen them, he had a friend who was big into them and taped them when he lived in the northeast. He was big into Ryan Adams and then switched to taping Yarn and was constantly talking about them. I was like, yeah, I think I know who you're talking about.

    Anyway, dude knew you when he lived up there and then moved to Portland and now is in the Charlottesville area. I assured him that Yarn was still very much touring and encouraged him mightily to come to the Yarn show on Friday night at Clementine's. I don't think he showed up, at least I never saw him.

    Is Can't Slow Down slipping into status as a discarded song? The last time I can find (very quick search) of it being played was 4/8/16. That's over 6 months now. Of course that is only the setlists on archive.

    Anybody have a more recent hearing?

    I meant to respond to this before SouthernMan but damned if I can recall who you may be talking about. My only RA friend who moved to Portland is the one who introduced me to Yarn in the first place so he's definitely seen them.
