just curious if we should start using abbreviated song titles for use on setlists in the show review section as well as on the bootlegs? for instance, demons for exorcising demons, tiogo for the idea of growing old, or gsrnr or perhaps god save for god save rock and roll.. jamiec, blighman, i'm looking your way here.

i'll have to disagree on this one......i hate song abbreviations....they are too confusing especially for newcomers who don't know the actual titles of the songs.

We have about 1500 songs.....all of them good!
