During a recent concert, Bonnie Raitt was requested to play her beloved cover ‘Angel From Montgomery.’ Raitt acknowledged this bond with her audience saying, 'I'm lucky enough to have songs that people will be mad if they don't hear; that's not a drag, it's an honor.' She reflects on the importance of maintaining that connection with her audience, emphasizing the joy and responsibility of knowing which songs truly resonate with her fans.
Raitt discusses the complexities of a concert set list and how it can be both a planned outcome and a flexible framework. While many artists stick strictly to a rehearsed set, she prefers to keep her shows unpredictable, swapping in songs even without telling her band. 'I'll have my guitar guy standing there with two instruments and I'll point to the one I want,' she explains, highlighting her live performance's spontaneity.
