It was 8:25 p.m. when Suzy and the band joined together on stage. Suzy started by saying, "I'm sorry we're late getting here, but we were just waiting for some people to finish dinner downstairs and make their way up. By some people, I mean us." After bringing laughter to the audience, Suzy's 12-yr-old son, Ben, arrived on stage to tell Suzy a secret. When he left, she said, "I've got a secret and you don't know it." Suzy announced that there was a couple celebrating their 75^th wedding anniversary. Although, it was really their 50^th anniversary, but Suzy referred to the Telephone Game, where you can mess up words. Although, Ben did give her the right information on the years. Suzy said, "Well, there might be an anniversary song." The couple asked if she could do "Tennessee Waltz." So, Suzy looked at Will and they did a little bit of "Tennessee Waltz" and said that next time, she'll prepare for their 60^{th wedding anniversary.}

Suzy talked a bit about having dinner and how it was like heaven, but not for the jeans. She was dressed in a black top and a pair of jeans. She wanted to start with a song that she knew, because it could get a little dicey. Suzy said, "This song bought Nanci Griffeth and I a swimming pool." Right then, she kicked into "Outbound Plane."

Afterwards, Suzy said, "This next song has been cut more times than "Send in the Clowns" and went right into "Someday Soon." Suzy mentioned another northeastern gal, Cheryl Wheeler, who wrote this next song. As Suzy was getting into the song, she realized that she was playing in the wrong key. She said, "Wow! This is de ja vous from last night!" After getting the right key, she moved into "Aces."

Suzy said, "We came to Maine on Sunday in an RV. You know, we're the ones that are cutting in front of you, holding up maps and yelling at each other, because we didn't know where to go." A woman in the audience yelled out that they would be called "tourons." Suzy thought it was great, because that was the term that she learned when she was in college. She said the week's been great, because she's had lobster everyday that she's been in Maine. She said, "Just helping to keep the population down."

Suzy move on and said, "I wrote this song with Gary Scruggs. It was a day when we were talking about the days of AP Carter and the simplicity of the songs. They came up with this next song and went into "Hammer and Nail."

It was time for a history lesson, so Suzy continued and said, "This next song was originally a duet with Bonnie Owens and Merle Haggard. She was married to Merle and then married Buck Owens – but, she still sang with Merle. Hmmm… I don't know about that." With laughter from the audience, she invited her husband, Doug, to sing with her and played "Somewhere Between." Afterwards, she announced that she was the President of his fan club and that he does have a record out on suzybogguss.com.

She asked the audience, "Do you want to swing a little?" With great applause, she laughed and announced that this next song was originally done by Nat King Kong. With great embarrassment, she laughed and apologized. She said, "I never thought of it like that. I don't know where that came from, but I meant to say Nat King Cole." Then, she announced, "Well, this song does have a monkey in it, so this could be big trouble." The audience continued to laugh as Suzy and the band went into "Straighten Up and Fly Right."

Suzy said that they've had a lot of fun with the Swing album. She talked about how she had a dream about Ray Benson driving her around and decided that next morning, that she was to make a record with Ray. This next song was written by a great gal by the name of April Barrows. Just then, Suzy went into "Burnin' the Toast." During the solo of the song, Suzy introduced Will Barrow on the piano.

Afterwards, she introduced the other guys in the band. Todd London was on percussion and Chris Donahue on the bass. She said that she thought that she would do an "oldie" and moved right into "Someone to Watch Over Me."

Then, it was time for a new song. Although, as she picked up her guitar, it came unplugged and a gentleman in the front table helped her out so that she could plug it back in. She said, "Thanks. You must be union stage hands." She announced that the next song that she was going to do was a song that Doug had written. She hadn't done it in a little while, so she was going to try to get through it. Then, she moved into "Heaven."

At this point, she felt that it was time to do a joke. The audience laughed. So, Suzy continued to go into the Pirate joke. I'm sure you all have heard it, so I'll keep moving along… She said that the next song was a song that she had written with her friend, Matraca Berg. It was little note to Cinderella. Then, Suzy kicked right into "Hey Cinderella."

Suzy talked about how she got started. She said that she's become a nomad and loves this state, especially in August. She continued with the time that she spent in Centennial, WY. With this, she went into "Night Rider's Lament."

She took the time to announce that the new record called "Sweet Danger," will be "coming out on Sept. 4^th, Sept. 4^th, Sept. 4^th." Just then, the band and Suzy kicked into "The Bus Ride." Suzy said the next song was a rendition of an oldie. She said, "My son loves the 60's music and one day, he was humming this song and it was so simple. So, I called Will to see if he could help me with it and this is what we came up with." And Suzy went into "If You Leave Me Now."

It was time for a "happy song, now." It's a sing along and Suzy told the audience what their part was. Although, there was going to be a change to the lyrics from Joe's to Jonathan's. She said there were too many syllables, but they would make it work. So, Suzy and the crowd sang "Eat at Joe's (Jonathan's)."

Suzy started playing chords and she said, "Wow, these are the chords to 'Hard Day's Night" and continued to sing some words to the song. Then, she kicked into "No Way Out." She announced that her little boy's going into the 7^{th grade, so this song is taking more of a meaning to her, now, and with that, she went into "Letting Go." She said, "That's another tear-up song from Doug Crider."}

To close the evening's show, Suzy and the band did "Drive South."

Although, rather than leaving the stage and then coming back for the encore, Suzy just stayed right on stage and bowed and showed off the guys in the band. Suzy went up to the microphone and said, "That was easy!" For the encore, Suzy said, "I'd like to dedicate this song to Patsy Montana." With that, she did "Cowboy's Sweetheart." Then, she asked the audience, "Will you sing with me?" With that, Suzy, the band, and the audience ended the night with "Take It to the Limit."

Again, it was another great night of great music and fun.
