On 8 June 1985 Ray Charles and his group gave a concert at the Shubert Performing Arts Center in New Haven. The show was taped from the audience. The audio quality is a little less than mediocre.
The setlist was:
Project S (Ray Charles Orchestra)
Intro
Let the Good Times Roll
Georgia On My Mind
Oh, What A Beautiful Morning
How Long Has This Been Going On
Intro Raelettes
I Want Your Love (with The Raelettes)
Anyway You Want To
I Can't Stop Loving You
I’m Gonna Keep On Singin’ + What'd I Say
Outro
America The Beautiful
Walk-off
From
Project S (#1) only one other live version (
Madrid, 1975) has survived.
#13
is a double surprise:
America The Beautiful was only part of the Ray Charles Orchestra's repertoire on and around the 4th of July (he also sang it frequently in his symphony gigs), and Ray 'never' (i.e. hardly ever) did encores.
