    I believe I saw on Facebook that the doors open at 6, show starts at 7:30, with no opening act. 🙂

    no opener, and I would guess the show will start early, 7:30, similar to Friday

    If you navigate the Webster Hall website, you can observe that, at 10 PM both nights, the Grand Ballroom (where Lucinda is playing) is transformed into a nightclub with new admission, and 2000-3000 new attendees.

    Consequently, to get more Lucinda music before the room changeover, there is no opening act.

    Tonight’s show did not start until 8. She played until 9:30 followed by a 3 song encore. Over around 9:50.

    Welcome to the forum, alanuu. Do you have a set list you can post?

    Any comments about the show itself? Thanks…

    I was at the show tonight too and alanuu is right about the times.

    I didn’t write down the setlist but from memory she opened with See u So Bad, then Happy Woman Blues, some new songs interspersed with Pineola and Drunkin Angel, one of the new songs was Copenhagen, probably around 5 or 6 new songs. Metal Firecracker was aborted because of a faulty guitar, she said she would do it later but later on she made reference but did I believe real live bleeding fingers, OK getting late there was a great Joy, mighty fine Righteously, and a spot on Essence and Changed the Locks. Encores were Blessed, Joy Get Right With God.

    Also Unsuffer Me, Honey Bee and another one of the new tunes was Buttercup. Good Show, some very high energy in spots, drummer banging away on the tubs, new guitar player was real good.

    17) Changed The Locks – ‘Thanks again for coming out tonight all the way from Espana.’

    18) Honey Bee – ‘Thanks for coming out – you were a great audience. Love, peace, & revolution. Gracias!’ (the third nod to bigsubi – you rock star, you! 😀 )

    Fine job West Words: pleasure standing beside/in front of/behind you, as things shifted during the long evening, which featured a 1 hour 50 minute gap between doors and Lu walk on. You captured Lu’s bilinguality and otherwise gesturing toward our Continental guests well. After “Come On,” I caught bigsubi’s eye across the way and he thumbed-up the song, with gestures stage left; later, I confirmed he meant to endorse Val McCallum, the second guitarist he’s ever heard with Lu. As for “Metal Firecracker,” she did return to it in a sense, saying late in set “I haven’t forgotten” the song was but was never “in the mood” to do it. Ha.

    Finally, note to paul in los angeles (who was right about weekend disco night circa 10 p.m.): the public restrooms at the Webster are unisex. Word to the wise.. .

    Not only are they unisex, they also sell a big selection of candy in there… Only in New York. 😀 At least they had real doors vs. curtains, which I’ve seen in other NYC unisex bathrooms. 😉

    Great reports! I give up. Who is the subject of Buttercup and Jailhouse Tears?
