Notes: A tiny venue, about 100 seats, to kick off this U.S. tour. This is an interesting setlist with some interesting arrangements and some deep cuts, including at least one song never performed live before. "When The Lights Go Down" appeared on the movie soundtrack for "Hard To Hold", a 1984 movie starring Rick Springfield! GP tells the story behind the song which is funny enough to warrant it's own track on the setlist. I video recorded the entire show which you can watch on YouTube:
