Notes: There’s a busk in the Beacon lobby before the show, including musicians that had been playing outside, and Glen announces that they’re Lisa Hannigan’s opening band. ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’ is sung at the edge of the stage with no amplification by Joe, Lisa, John, Glen, Ross, Graham, Rob, Justin and Colm. ‘Passing Through’ is similarly performed in a group with no amplification. Glen on guitar, Joe on Ukelele, Justin and Graham on shakers, Colm and Rob Moose on violin, J. Michael Zygo and Paul Whitty (from Once: The Musical), Iona and Lena on vocals, Erick Lawrence, Steve Berstein and Curtis Fowlkes on horns. Glen leads the group off the stage, up the aisle and out the front doors of the Beacon and down Broadway, with audience members joining in along the way.
