Tuesday Night, Jimmy brought the Year Of Still Here Tour back to Clarkston, Michigan.

Returning to Clarkston for the first time since 2006, the first set returned to early tour form with “The Tiki Bar is Open” back in the second spot, replacing “License to Chill” after a one show break. There was no “Why Don’t We Get Drunk” tonight, instead Jake Shimabukuro and Robert Greenidge treated fans to a fantastic version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”

The second set saw a few changes as well as “Scarlet Begonias” was played instead of “Bama Breeze.” But the brightest moment of the night came when Jimmy introduced the one and only Greg “Fingers” Taylor as he played his trademark solos on “Son of a Son of a Sailor,” “The City” and of course, “A Pirate Looks at Forty.” “Fingers” had not played with Jimmy since the Bristow, Virginia show last June.

Again the only change in the encores was in the second one, with a solo acoustic performance of the classic “Tin Cup Chalice,” making its first appearance of the tour. It was last played November 3, 2007 in Tampa, Florida which was the last show of that tour.

“Hot Hot Hot in North Carolina!” as Jimmy put it, turned out to be very true for the second stop of the second leg of the Year Of Still Here Tour in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Returning to Raleigh for the first time since 2004 and the Walnut Creek Amphitheatre for the first time since 2002, the first set again featured a few changes, as this time “License to Chill” was played in the second spot, replacing “The Tiki Bar is Open,” which was absent for the first time of the tour. Another change saw an acoustic version of “Why Don’t We Get Drunk” return after “Come Monday.”

The second set continued the changes with “Bama Breeze” sliding into the set for the first time since Tampa in 2007. An especially long second set also saw “Far Side of the World” back in the set after taking a show off. Atlanta’s premiere, “The City,” featuring Mac taking the lead vocal, also stayed in as the set pushed to 27 songs before the encore.

Again the only change in the encores was in the second one, with a performance of the recent classic “Coast of Carolina”, making its debut acoustically with Jimmy and Mac picking their way through a wonderful version. The song itself had not been played since June 6, 2006 in Charlotte.

“Happy summertime to you too!” welcomed the crowd to the second leg of the Year Of Still Here Tour in Atlanta, Georgia.

Returning to the Lakewood Amphitheatre for the first time in two years, the first set remained largely the same, the exceptions being a new arrangement for “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes”, as it jumped from the second set into the first set, replacing “We’re Still Here,” which was absent for the first time of the tour, and the second outing of “Cowboy in the Jungle.” The new arrangement for “Changes” featured a slower pace and a prominent acoustic guitar rather than electric.

The second set was shuffled some with “Tryin’ to Reason with Hurricane Season” sliding into the set for the first time and “The City” returning for the first time since September 19, 2006 in Austin, Texas. Other changes saw “Volcano” and Nadirah’s “Makin’ Music for Money” sliding down a few spots each.

The only change in the encores was in the second one, with the first known performance of John Prine’s “Big Old Goofy World” solo on acoustic guitar.
