Leftover Salmon/Left Hand String Band Répertoire
-- October 5, 1997 --
[Our thanks to Laura Killian and all the many other folks who've contributed
to this list.]
Notes:
This list was reviewed by the band in March 1997. The name listed is the one
THEY use (may, or may not be, consistent with the names others use). The name(s)
of the song writer(s) are in brackets, [....]. Prominent lines in the song are
enclosed in virgules, {"....."}. Other comments of interest are in parentheses,
(.......). Albums on which the song has been released by the band are in Bold
Italics. Song titles in italics are ones they "think" might belong to
another song, as indicated. Medleys (at least the ones USUALLY done that way)
are connected thusly, ->. Then again, you NEVER know! Be prepared for
frequent surprises! Note that in a few cases, we got our lists out of "sync,"
so the band hasn't seen these to verify them. They are noted by (not run by
the band...). Some are certain to be correct. Others, we aren't so sure about.
Hopefully, we'll get a chance to confirm them soon. Also note that the names
for their songs sometimes "evolve." Bridge is an example. By the time Euphoria
was released, it became known as "This is the Time." Maybe it makes sense though,
it didn't apparently have anything to do with a bridge or bridges or even bridging
anyway. Of course, if you think about "Bridging the Bert," that's another story!
Finally, there may still be a few duplicate names in this list, but even if there
are, they play well over 250 songs!
Please try to use these names, if possible, in the setlists to keep
them consistent!
