Re: Re: (TV) Boston set-list

["Ty Burr" <tyburr@mindspring.com>]

By the way, I have before me a xerox of the Paradise set-list, handwritten
by someone in the band and provided to me by Globe reviewer Jim Sullivan
(who apparently tried chatting up Fred, a friend of a friend, before the
show but got serious stinkeye from Richard). Posting it here for the
new-song names.

A Dreams Dream [sic]
1880
Venus
Call Mr. Lee (6th in order but with arrow moving it to 4th)
Balloon
See No Evil
Stax
Little Johnny Jewel
Prove It
Squaggle
The Sea
Persia
Marquee Moon
