Setlist: Love Don’t Leave Me Waiting – Respect (Aretha Franklin), Talking with the Wolves*, Low Rising, The Auld Triangle Feedback Hum, When Your Mind’s Made Up, Bird of Sorrow, Astral Weeks** (Van Morrison) – Smile** (Pearl Jam), Fitzcarraldo, Don’t Do It*** (Marvin Gaye/The Band)
*Simon on shaker
**Glen solo

Notes: The sun is shining in San Francisco and people flock en masse to the Rooster Stage just before the set starts. ‘Low Rising’ is introduced as a song about optimism, and played “for the Democrats. We can say that ’cause we’re Irish.” In response to a low hum of feedback, Glen sings a hilarious snippet of ‘The Auld Triangle’ to match its key, far below where it usually falls. Most of the previously-laid-back crowd is standing and Glen demands to see some hips moving for ‘Don’t Do It’.
