Ian Hunter, City Winery, NYC

I ran into Paul at the Starbucks diagonal from the club. He said the new CD has several mid-tempo rockers and a couple of ballads.

This was a substantially different set than the two shows last weekend. They started out with the work song rhythm track that they have not used recently to begin the show but the first song was "Rest In Peace." Then, he also played "Michael Picasso" and "All The Way From Memphis," among others, that have not been in the set. The two "Moondogs" from the Ronno era were also there. One Moondog does the technical set up; and, the other played keyboards on "All The Young Dudes" while Dennis moved to Ian's keyboard. Ian's son, Jesse, also sang backup on the tune.

Tommy Mandel - keyboards, vocals; Tommy Morrongiello - guitar, vocals;
