Musicians aren’t usually known for having the best memories, so when they plan out which songs they want to play on a specific night they usually have their stage manager write down the setlist and tape it to the floor in front of each band member. Most of the time these stage setlists wind up in the hands of rabid fans after the gig, and other times they are lost forever to the garbage dump.
Recently scanned images of stage setlists from artists throughout nearly every genre have made it onto the ‘nets. Over the past few years photo and image search engines on the web have become much more sophisticated and include millions of new pictures each day. We spent all day yesterday using these search engines to find 60 stage setlists from our favorite acts. We’re gonna present 20 of these lists over three segments of the B List.

Since it looks like we’re finally in the clear after Ma Nature pinned Old Man Winter for a three count, it’s time to extend a warm welcome to the spring. We all have our sunny day favorites, like the Allman Brothers, Paul Simon, and of course the Tuff Gong, but nothing quite encapsulates the feeling of spring fever and festival season like some good old fashioned bluegrass music.
So, for this week’s Bust Outs, we have assembled a list of some cheerful, rollicking bust outs from some of Telluride’s finest offspring:
The Tony Furtado Band – 9/8/2001 – Stagger Lee
The key to being a fan of the pickin’ is to find the songs you love and then craft some good bluegrass daydreams while you listen. This remarkably original version of Stagger Lee is perfect for a ramble down the endless stretch of Highway 80 through Nebraska in your 18-wheeler. Get on your CB radio, call up your road buddy “Youngblood” for a smoky report (i.e., police check) and cruise off into the sun. The outlines of those long-awaited Rocky Mountains will arrive in no time.
