Since we all like to give reviews when we see Spyro Gyra in person, how about a list of all the songs they've played in shows that we've seen. Feel feed to include dates, locations, comments, whatever you remember from the show, but if you just want to list songs, that's fine, too.
Here's my list in chronological order of albums:

Shaker Song (standard and acoustic trio)
Morning Dance
Shaker Song/Morning Dance/Catching the Sun medley
Cockatoo
Dizzy
Sweet and Savvy
Bittersweet
Freetime
Old San Juan
Incognito
Serpent in Paradise
Schu's Blues
Shakedown
PG
(still haven't heard them do anything from Breakout)
Cayo Hueso
Serpentine Shelly
Del Corazon
Daddy's Got a New Girl Now
Limelight
Shanghai Gumbo
Innocent Soul
Captain Karma
(nothing from Point of View)
Para Ti Latino
What Exit
Introduction to Breathless / Breathless
Introduction to Real Time / Real Time
Jennifer's Lullaby
Nothing to Lose
(nothing from Dreams Beyond Control)
Please Don't Go (bluesy instrumental written by Julio that has not appeared on any of their albums)
On Liberty Road (for South Africa)
Heart of the Night
The Unwritten Letter
Ruled by Venus
The Deep End
(nothing from Got the Magic)
Feelin' Fine Part 2
Bump It Up
Flashback
Party of Seven
Big Dance Number
Film Noir
Cape Town Love
The Crossing

It stops there because the last time I saw them was just before the release of Wrapped in a Dream, and they weren't doing any previews.

Wow this will be a fun one....for now I wil add....

Bob Goes To The Store(with Scottie doing a hilarious 'shaggy dog story" intermixed with band solos and his bass solo's ...it ended up with Bob in rehab due to smoking too much catnip with Morris the CaT!!!)

Double Take)Jay, like he did with the 1995 Old San Juan arrangement, opened shows all by his lonesome, doing a bluesy 2 minute showpiece, as each band member then took the satge behind him...I remember those versions endiing with Schuu doing a lightning quick minute or two synth exploration).

Mardi Gras...second song of the first Spyro concert I ever saw....oppener was..
Freetime...then
Alternating Currents.

more later.....


Peace....Spyro Gyra is the greatest!!

I've only been to one concert so far, but Jay and the guys are as good if not better in person. I've heard:

"Get Busy"
"Island Time"- Scott did opened up with a solo and it was phenomenal.
"Funkyard Dog"- Dual saxes at once by Jay
"Jam Up"- With a crazy introduction.
"Good To Go-Go"
"Shaker Song"
"Catching the Sun"
"Morning Dance"
"Daddy's Got a New Girl Now"- They finished with
"Morning Dance", but came back and gave an encore.
