Dolly Parton Newcastle Arena 21st March 2007
I’m writing about another guilty pleasure today.
Laura mentioned that she quite fancied seeing Dolly Parton in concert (she particularly liked the song “Jolene”) and I had always secretly wanted to see her too. So when we saw that she was coming over to the UK for a tour and visiting Newcastle Arena we decided to go along. The show was, as you would expect, a big lavish affair with our heroine centre stage singing all of those great country and pop songs. Great fun.
Dolly is touring the UK again this year, and strongly rumoured to be playing the Sunday afternoon legends slot at Glastonbury, which we are looking forward to.
Setlist from 2007 tour: Act One. Baby, I’m Burnin’; Two Doors Down; Jolene; The Grass Is Blue; Shine; Thank God I’m a Country Girl; God’s Coloring Book; Little Sparrow; My Tennessee Mountain Home; These Old Bones; Coat Of Many Colours; Smoky Mountain Memories; Train, Train; Imagine. Interval. Act two. Marry Me; Those Were The Days; Me and Bobby McGee; I Dreamed About Elvis; Islands In the Stream; Here You Come Again; 9 to 5; I Will Always Love You; He’s Alive.
Another guilty secret is that “Coat of Many Colours” is one of my favourite songs 🙂
