Pre-HEART tour warm-ups LA & SF

In Tour Diary by Kathy

The Who’s US Tour ended, but Simon has kept rolling along; doing a number of solo acoustic gigs designed to keep him it top shape for the upcoming support slot on the Canadian leg of Heart’s FANATIC Tour. The last two were in California.

Los Angeles – The Hotel Cafe – Mar 5th

Jeffrey Soffer posted some nice shots from the LA gig, and was kind enough to allow us to use them!

Set list - San Francisco but not really San FranciscoTim Herrlinger was also kind enough to send in a report and some photos!

Tim says that the setlist actually differed from the handwritten one seen in a number of photos on the web [THAT set list in the photos is actually the one from CHICAGO that Simon kept – and it has a few handwritten marks and notes he and I made later that night on the back and front when brainstorming the setlist choices for the HEART tour – kathy v ]

The actual Cafe du Nord set list was:
Electric Friend; Comeback; About Love; She Asked Me; Bare Essence; Making Waves; All So Real; Bed Of Roses; Leaving This Town; Time Bomb; Stay; Denial; Heal; Looking Out Looking In; Forever And A Day. Encore: The Way It Is; Ecstasy Heaven; I’m The Answer
