Lu played the first of her 3 one hour shows last night and managed to keep her balance the whole time as the ocean was rolling a little more last night. Great set last night with smiles all around.It was also great to have Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale sit in.
Here is the selist:
Side Of The Road (Lu & Doug)
Can’t Let Go
Ventura
Born To Be Loved
Fruits Of My Labor
Jackson (last minute addition by Lu–joined by Mr. Lauderdale)
Jailhouse Tears (w/ Mr. Lauderdale)
Righteously
Honey Bee
Joy (w/ Buddy Miller)
Get Right w/ God (w Buddy & Jim)

Quick encore:
Blessed

Night 2 coming up in three hours

Until the threads are joined, I’ll comment here, with much appreciation to Tom for starting us off. I’m assuming the rhythm section is along for the [sometimes bumpy] ride? Rhett Miller being early on stage reminds me of a Red Rocks festival where he was late, joining the Old 97’s midset after a late flight incident or some such, two or so acts before Lu worked her magic as the penultimate bill in front of Ryan Adams. As for Lafayette’s predicted mutiny, let’s hope that “diva” blogger kept to cabin.

Nice variations apparently from night to night, even if encores are “quick” (not to say token), and it’s good to note the Lu tendency to interject songs like “Jackson” at the eleventh hour is not just a landlubber phenomenon. It sounds like the vibe has some of the best of the Car Wheels era up through the present, based on the personnel up there from set to set. More please, Tom.

Great find LWj. Plenty of camera time for Tom and Eric. 😛
