Ray Charles Live In Roanoke
Someone in the audience made a (mediocre) recording of Ray Charles’ concert at the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke (VA) on September 1, 1984. The setlist went like:
- Intro + Metamorphosis
- Let The Good Times Roll (start missing)
- Georgia On My Mind
- Then We’ll Be Home (Sadies Tune)
- I’ve Got News For You
- Some Enchanted Evening
- If You Wouldn’t Be My Lady
- Crying Time
- Eleanor Rigby
- I Can’t Stop Loving You
- Knock On Wood
- Baby Please Don’t Go
- What’d I Say
- Outro
Seeing Ray Charles, despite his blindness, navigate a set of narrow, sharp-turning stairs quicker than a sighted person might, programmer Philip Poff remembered,
“Ray came flying down those steps. He shocked us so much that we were almost dumbstruck.”
