Monica, I have to agree with you. I've read somewhere that she takes care of Sam by herself too. Also, in one magazine, it said that she homeschools him so he can be on the road with her, but do you think that she does or that she has someone else with her to do it? I don't know, but she seems smart and patient enough to do it!! She's such a great mom!
I don't remember them doing 'Let Me Touch You For Awhile' at the last concert I was at, but they may have and I just forgot! hehe. But I really wish they would do 'New Favorite', I LOVE that song!! I'm surprized that Alison doesn't like break down in the middle of it, I know I almost do! lol. But I'm so happy they're doing 'Ghost', that song is so great, but it seems like it would be really hard to do every night.
Fiddlechick, lol, yeah I guess I want to sound different when I'm 34 than how I do now!!

They haven't done Ghost for the past 2 years, as far as I know. Has anyone else heard it? I have heard they cut it out right after they filmed the dvd. There were some other changes as well, the Dolly Parton song they did is out.
That is too bad about those songs. I guess when you have so many great songs you have to pick and choose. You can't please everyone! I love the older stuff better than the new anyway. I agree about her voice changes - I like them both but the songs seemed better than the new stuff. I just think the writers aren't as good as they used to be (for instance Tim McGraw's song about Do you want Fries with that? I can't believe that actually got recorded and then played on the radio! Especially over the AKUS stuff).

I guess I'm the only one who LOVES Ain True Love lol. I just love that song to death, but I'm into haunting melodies. I've seen AKUS twice on this tour...Knoxville and Nashville. She did do the laughs during Oh, Atlanta in Knoxville, but as I've posted in another thread I think that was truly laughing (long story) and I think it was during a different part than what others have mentioned. To the best of my memory she sang it straight through and blew the roof off of the Opry House in Nashville. There may be an inside joke of the band's related to that song that gets her going so often when singing it because when she was laughing in Knoxville she and Dan were both laughing. I agree that the vocal change is intentional. While she may have sung with more range back in the day I think she shows soooo much more emotion and control now. I'll be 25 next month and barely sound a thing like I did when I was 15 (Thank GOD!) just because I've learned to control my voice better and I've had a lot more life experience. Also I've gotten to know my voice better in just the past year because I joined my first band and that has made such a huge impact. Her voice just has a much more mature and fluid quality to it and I prefer to listen to it now as opposed to the earlier stuff. Diff'rent strokes, though.

PS I was surprised and a little disappointed to see LMTYFAW dropped from the set list. Also New Favorite was a surprise to see gone just because on the Live DVD almost all of them listed it as their favorite one to perform live. I guess they all have a *new favorite* now. (Sorry, I couldn't resist) I'm thinking Ghost isn't on the setlist anymore, either, but I can't really remember. I LOVE that one...we do it in our setlist lol.

The last time I saw them they were doing Let Me Touch You. Have they dropped that, too? They didn't do it in April or July when I saw them.

Eyesoflove, nope, you're not the only one who LOVES 'My Ain True Love', cause I totally do! I just think "In the Palm of Your Hand' would be really great as an encore. I was at the Opry House in Nashville this past April too, and she DEFINATLY blew the roof off during 'Oh Atlanta'. I thought it was just... amazing!!! I loved it! But, then again, I love the entire concert!! lol.
