Ray Charles Live In Charlotte Pops Concert (1998)
On October 1, 1998 Ray Charles performed with his trio and The Charlotte Philharmonic (conductor Albert-George Schram) at Ballroom C of the Charlotte Convention Center. There must be a bootleg out there. (The week before, on September 29, Ray had already performed nearby, at the North Carolina Blumenthal Performing Arts Center – probably with his own orchestra).
The tracklist of the bootleg (corrections in red):
- [audience noise +] Intro
- It Hurts To Be In Love
- That Lucky Old Sun
- Let’s Get Away From It All
- Georgia On My Mind
- Take These ChainsFrom My Heart
- Your Cheating Heart
- TheGood Life
- Say No More
- Blues For Big Scotia
- A Song For You
- All I Ever NeedIs You
- [introduction +] America The Beautiful
#4 is new (to me) on Ray’s ‘symphony gig’ playlist. It’s probably the Tommy Dorsey song.
