Last show of a solo acoustic tour. Alejandro is currently writing a book. A lot of spoken word intros for the songs. About half we had heard before but not in such detail and length. Fascinating. The handful of songs played off the recent The Crossing album really jumped out to me. Alejandro did mention he had a bit of an emergency health scare while touring this year and mentioned he would be slowing down. I can’t remember how many tours and countries he mentioned he played already and it’s only May! I took as meaning he would tour like most artists do and not at the accelerated rate he always does. He mentioned Eddie (yes of Eddie’s Attic) and talked about playing the venue quite a bit in the early days. He is such an inspiration Setlist: San Antonio Rain, Five Hearts Breaking, Something Blue, Waiting For Me, Texas Is My Mother, Wave, Rosalie, I Wish I Was Your Mother (Ian Hunter), Bottom of the World, Fury & Fire, Velvet Guitar, Dear Head on the wall, Chelsea Hotel 78, Always a friend.. encore: bottom of the world, Down in the Bowery
