As our party of four had “VIP” tickets, we got great seats (front row
of tables, in the center). Owen had the same two bandmates as at the November show I attended, but this one was somewhat longer (about 75 minutes) and
included a few new songs, which were good enough that I forgave him for not
performing “Hometown Headstone”. In addition to the opening “(If I Had A)
Starship” (after which he expressed disappointment that so few of us had yet
seen the recently-released trailer for the upcoming Star Wars movie), and the usual solo take on “Don’t Think Twice,
It’s All Right”, highlights included 3 great covers: Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelulah”,
Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love” (which I hadn’t heard in quite a while), and a
kick-ass version of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” as the first encore.
