If he plays more than 20 songs (he played 24-25 on night 1 and 22 on night 2), there can be repeats among those additional so...

There was some sensitivity about "spoilers" on the Facebook group, so I'll hide the titles a bit. She mentioned this song, this song, this song, and this song.

Spotted by Mike on Facebook... Endea Owens, the bass player in the Late Show With Stephen Colbert house band, revealed on last night's episode that she'll be backing EC at this show. She named four songs they'll be playing, only one of which is among the 10 previously announced. https://www.cbs.com/...

I feel like many of the live tracks on disc 3 were either from the deluxe expanded PFM or B-sides to the PFM singles, but I would have to check. The same live versions of "This House Is Empty Now," "I Still Have That Other Girl," and "In the Darkest Place" were on the ...
