Perth[Scotland] @ Concert Hall 6.21.13

Have fun dr oboogie. According to Lu’s Facebook page (Stoger?) the Gateshead show will be an all request night. Go to that show and request Blue for every song.

Thanks Tonyg, much as I would like to I cannot get to Gateshead, but one of my Bruce tramp friend who will be in Edinburgh tomorrow night is also going to Gateshead on Tuesday..lucky so and so..

Now to Perth on Friday night, firstly a huge thanks to Lucinda,Tom and the whole team for their hospitality and friendship above and beyond to make this a very special day for us.

Due to work and travel just managed to get to the venue in time for Lucinda coming on stage at 20:37
1) Can`t Let Go
2) Crescent City (with ref. to New Orleans and Emmy Lou cover) Lu sounding great and looking happy and relaxed
Band introductions
3) Pineola (Preceded with story of the song)
4) (The Wonderful) Lake Charles (again with song story and Lu`s voice really sounding good)
Lucinda at this point noted how she always got a good reception at this venue, even though these songs were about
death (think that says something about us Scots ?)
5) When I Look At The World (love the lyrics)
6) Copenhagen (with story intro)
7) BLUE (Thanks to all who made it happen)
8) Jailhouse Tears (Crowd seemed to especially like this one)
9) Concrete And Barbed Wire
10) Drunken Angel ( with intro story about girly tattoos and Blaze)
11) Something Wicked This Way Comes
12) Those Three Days (Thanks again to all who made it happen)
13) Hard Time Killing Floor Blues (Band great on this one)
14) Come On (Lucinda giving a nod! to the Grammy nomination for this one)
15) Essence (With great solo from Doug)
16) Joy ( With mention of many covers, but especially Bette LaVette)
17) Honey Bee

Short break at 10:05

A smiling and obviously happy Lucinda and the boys return and certainly took me by surprise with :-
18) Factory (Springsteen cover-I had been to see him on Tuesday and Lu mentioned how they seemed to be following him around-always one of my favourite Bruce tracks and Lucinda absolutely nailed it)
19) Blessed
20) Get Right With God (Crowd really into it and great interaction between Lu and Doug during this one)

and at approx 10:23 sadly it was all over in what seemed like a flash, but I though to myself, do not be sad because it is over, but be happy because it happened, I hope I have not missed anything out as I am reading from my notes which were hastily scribbled in the darkness.

Certainly a favourite venue for Lucinda and rightly so, next stop Edinburgh tomorrow night.

Peace and Love to all.

How true dr. I concur.
Outstanding reporting and setlist. I looked back at Lu’s appearance at the Southern Fried in Perth August 2009 and see the same enthusiasm from your writing, not to mention you got to meet Tom O, stoger and Paul.
I’ll have to get to Perthshire County some day.

So, we hope to hear again from you at the Queen’s Hall tomorrow.

Thank you, I will do my best to provide as much info as possible, but will be late Monday at the earliest.
If you do decide to do the correct thing and come and visit let me know and I will do all I can to help and make your visit as good and as economical as possible.

Outstanding post, Dr. W: looking forward to more. The “girly tattoos” aspect of the “Drunken A” intro seems new to me. Thanks for the great detail.
