The set list was close to what they have been playing so far just shuffled around a bit. The entire show was a highlight but if I had to pick just a few moments #1 Alison&Dan signing "you will be my ain true love" alone on the left side of the stage powerful visually and especially vocally even the ushers were struck by that moment. Side note during this song you could of heard a pin drop. #2 "A living prayer" received the standing ovation which I feel it rightly deserved. For me personally when dan and Ron step back and alison begins to sing I’ll describe it as warm sunshine because it felt good. ;D #3 Alison is a great storyteller. By lowering her voice you strain to hear her right as she deliver's the punch line. Anyway she made fun of the stage again referring to the white sheets as paper towels and toilet paper. In a couple of her stories she even refereed to herself quietly I might add as a hooker which got a lot of applause. The other stories were not as contravesal just hanging out in the nerf ball pit at universal studios. Since she was the tallest person in there she became the kids target. I have attended over 30 shows all different artist's in my short concert going life and have seen a plethora of goose bump worthy moments and for me Alison Krauss and Union Station account for a lot of them.

I was there also, and enjoyed the concert enormously! I totally agree with your #1 and #2 assessments and with regards to #3, I enjoy hearing Ally talk...as I'm one of those people who just love those silly voices and btuse 'put-ons' however, I think the repartee with Barry Bales regarding the mourning dove casserole went on a bit long... I'm so amazed that these talented individuals can play/perform at this level night after night after night. What a blessing they are to all of us.
