I do the original Smiley Lewis version. Hope that's the one Haley does too.

Love the band group pic! They look happy to be together again.

My memory is a little fuzzy...What's the guy's name who's standing next to Keith?

[Miguel]

LaRoi Larkin, the drummer.

Oh Tusky put on yer glasses hun.....The set list says "I Hear You KNOCKING" A song I am very familiar with as it is one that I perform, although I am sure Haley sings it much better than I can!!

doh

Haley reprises the slower version of "Free"


And "Keep Coming Back" with a Notto extended solo


Really clear video too

and Keep Coming Back

Only one problem.....HER vocals were not loud enough. The sound engineer should have done better with the balance. But, it's better than nothing and this beggar will not be a chooser! Love the "Free" slow jam! Thanks Tusk for posting these!

NP.... I wonder if she went back to her 'new' bridge cover of OM as well (after rapping it on 'Tip Cup') and I hope someone will post the new covers we haven't heard.... Would be nice to hear her 'rocking' it out a bit after this extended stay in Jazz land (she sort of did in KCB and I like the Notto edge to his short solo )

Awesome set list! It's a great mix of tried and true "Listen Up!" songs, songs from "Listen Up!" she hasn't performed much, and old and new covers. Nice to see that she sang "Free" too. It's been awhile.

Haley definitely knows how to make a good set list. She begins with a personal fave from her album, and by finishing the show with "House Of The Rising Sun" ends it with a bang.

Someone send this girl out on tour already!

Wow...great set list. With some new covers. This set has to be well over an hour long, maybe close to an hour and half.

I hope this performance is the sign of things to come for her.

One theory about her crazy travel...maybe she wants to perform with a full band in front of live crowds before she returns to the US. Get her Lolla legs back under her......

I watched the KCB video and she just rocked out...what a great performance...looking gorgeous with John jamming out...and "Free" could be standout at her shows if she does that slower version. That song's lyrics actually lends itself to a slower more sad presentation. She left "Undone" out of the set list despite its world wide popularity--I am guessing she is just not a fan of singing that song.

Anyway, it is all good!!!

I sort of have a partial theory or maybe one of the reasons she doesn't like performing "Undone" live, especially having watched it at the private party in LA.

I think there's a possibility of Haley forgetting her place during the "Tell me where love..." and "Undone Undone Undone"'s .... If you watch her live performances of the songs, sometimes she hesitates for a micro second on those verses...... I think that's what happened during her first live performance of it, at the Americana performance



I think it's just the pacing of the song, getting caught up in the moment, and how many times she sings the "Undone X 3" that it's easy to forget your place during the song.

Just a theory as to why she might not like to sing it live
