Commentaire :

Les titres ne sont pas dans l’ordre du concert. Initialement, il y avait un second set avec accompagnement par un orchestre (le Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest). Les titres avec orchestres sont les numéros suivants de la tracklist : 1 à 4 et 12 à 16.

Plus de détails ci-dessous (en anglais) :

During the tour which followed the Born Again album, Randy Newman was joined by a Dutch Orchestra for just one night. The evening opened with Newman solo at the piano, after an intermission he was joined by the orchestra. The show was recorded and filmed, it was broadcasted on Dutch radio and Dutch television in 2 parts a month or 2 after the event. This is the radio broadcast which my dad (who was at this show) recorded to tape in 1979. Tracks 1-14 are from the first broadcast, tracks 15-26 are from the second. You’ll notice that the second broadcast sounds slightly better, probably better recorded.

Note that this was not the order in which the songs were actually performed. The only thing my dad could remember about the actual setlist is that the first half of the evening was only Newman at the piano, that the second half was with the orchestra, that « Birmingham » opened the second half of the show and « Davy the fat boy » closed the second half.
