Excellent. I’ll bet Jill Sobule’s set with Doug accompanying was great. I’ve seen her Hendrix bit. It’s hilarious.
very compelling, even more so because i’m always underwhelmed by those newspaper reports. or maybe it’s because the author gets the ‘somnambulant quality’ of 2 kool. alas, not in the good way.
*1 2 Kool 2 b 4 ghotten
2 Can’t Let Go
*3 Ventura [good to see the return of the pedal steel to the post-festival stage: thank you Doug]
*4 Fruits of My Labor [good to see the return of the upright to the post-fest stage: thank you David]
5 Born to Be Loved
6 Bitter Memory
*7 Jailhouse Tears [“Dougie will play the bad boy part”]
*8 Buttercup [“That’s a kiss-off song”]
*9 Little Rock Star [with mention of Amy Winehouse]
10 Protection [Lu points to her shoulder at the line “my own sweet self”–then tells us she might change the title??!!?!]
11 Come On [followed by “this is the adult portion of the show”]
12 Essence
13 Cross to Bear
14 Changed the Locks
15 Righteously
16 Joy
17 Honeybee

Maybe ever. As Lu herself said a quarter of the way into it, “When mama’s happy, everybody’s happy.”
I missed most of Jill’s set but caught Doug on pedal for her last song, talked with her briefly after at the mass “aftershow” which required no badge to attend. And I must say, chalk up gratis food for me for time number three–a chef roaming the area, refilling the bins of sandwiches and casserole and gourmet popcorn and such.
Lu was again “humbled” by the surroundings, resort inclines and craggy peaks and so on. I myself ascended the funicular circa 12:20 a.m. to join my friends Tom and Christina for a post-nightcap nightcap.
All cylinders, what can I say? And perhaps in an unlikely setting, glitzy Park City. Yet most of the crowd was way into it, especially by standing end. Lucinda was booked into a gritty club called Harry O’s in summer of 2002, yet had to cancel. She’s played last night’s venue once since, though this was my first time to hear her actually go on in Park City.
On to the Land of Enchantment. . .
Interesting comment from Lu re perhaps changing the title of “Protection”, Roger..
Wish I had the lyrics, but as I recall it seems tough to call it anything but.
I also recall she worked the word “righteous” into it (as in “righteous enemy” (??)Sounds funny, but Lucinda has honestly helped me appreciate and use that word more.
My feeling now is, any variation of “righteous” in a Lu song, is a sure sign of a classic Lu song..
