Levon Helm's Atlanta, GA set list.

From Levon Helm's http://www.levonhelm.com/ Guest Book:

From Chastain Park Amphitheatre Atlanta, GA

Set List

Ophelia, Drivin' Wheel, Bye Bye My Love, Long Black Veil, Got Me A Woman, Anne Lee, Rag Mama Rag, Shape I'm In, Tennessee Jed, Chest Fever, The Weight. (Two songs had to be cut from the original set list due to time constraints - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free and Kingfish).

Levon's voice was spot-on! People in the audience, sitting at their picnic tables, sipping their wine, eating their home-made meals were blown away by Levon's performance.

Everyone was on their feet for The Weight! John Prine watched from stage right, one legend admiring the other.

Thank you, Atlanta. We're now on our way to Chicago!
