Wow, Ray. I started at 10 and counted down to 1 and each one was a big cheer. I know this stuff, I saw it, I lived it. I taped two nights in Berkeley, reordered the songs and called it Friday the 13th And The Day After.😂 Our affinities line up perfectly. Totally agree on your revamp idea for the nadir of his recording career. Just wait till you get to Tampa Red later this year.
So I really love a few of the songs on Empire Burlesque - even more than When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky is Something’s Burning Baby - it just has a certain well something plus lyrics like these (and others) that just work:
I can feel it in the wind and it’s upside down
I can feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the outskirts of town
I’ve had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve…
Also Bob should use duets and back up singers more even now when he is in fine voice it takes the strain off him.
I need to find me a girl who loves me like Ray loves the 1986 Tour :)
I saw the Irvine and LA shows on the '86 tour, and for me the best moment was "We Had it All" at the Forum. Just a stunning powerful performance.

When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky really fits the Heartbreakers sound.
