I will leave the set list to the professionals. I also like the new format. A big Thank You to Lu and all for appearing in Southern New Jersey. We had a wonderful time. The show was great, could not ask for better song selection, and added humor from the stage. It was also nice to see some unexpected friends.

I’m a glorified amateur DD, but here goes:

1 Something Wicked
2 Can’t Let Go [with plenty of talk about the Lonesome Strangers’ former label Hitone–and how Lu sent demos to them and was told they already had enough “new artists”]
3 Pineola
4 Drunken Angel [Lu holds forth on the Beautiful Losers motif, using the phrase “with all due respect” twice in case she seemed to be putting them down: finally, she says “I’m getting off the subject here” and belts it out]
5 Right in Time [after which Lu references James Brown and his “50 dollar fine” policy for musicians’ mistakes–but smilingly]
6 Walk On [for Jasmine]
7Compassion [with a false start: after the thing is finished, Lu assesses herself a “fifty dollar fine”]
8 Side of the Road
9 Lake Charles [before which Lu reveals she lived with Clyde, also pronouncing this the last of a “trilogy” with Pineola and Drunken A]
10 Blue
11 Stand Right With Each Other {Lu introduces it tentatively, by its first two words only: after, she seems dissatisfied and turns to Butch, who can clearly be seen mouthing the words “They loved it; they loved it; they loved it”] *
12 Are You Down
13 Protection
14 Changed the Locks
15 Out of Touch
16 Essence
17 Joy
18 Honeybee
____________________________
19 STop Breakin’ Down
20 I Live My Life [Lu sticks to the encore setlist, despite a piercing “Real Live Broken (sic) Fingers” request in my right eardrum]
21 Righteously
22 Get Right with God

23 Rockin’ in the Free World

Tonyg, I leave the red coloring to you, tunes 5 and 11 if you please.

As our local Garden Staters suggest, this one was a keeper. This report is dedicated to them and also to the Forum member formerly known as “rhon”–aunt by the way to the aforementioned Jasmine. Good to see Rho again. I was talking to none other than Jasmine on the front stoop at intermission when up walks our Jersey pair–as if at the culmination of a neighborhood stroll. And they’re coming to Nashville! DDinNJ, you and spouse rock!

* and we did, reader, Lord God Almighty we did. . .

Remarks from Tom:

“Another fantastic night at the amazing old Scottish Rite Auditorium -former Masonic Temple built in 1893. Another terrific audience and another 5-song two encore night. With just two weeks to go the tour is really hitting on all cylinders. Stand Right was played live with the band for the first time ever -I think we are now down to 4 songs from the new record that haven’t been played yet. There were two other tour debuts -marked in red below so the count is now up to 60.
Next up the Big Apple and the Beacon Theater.”

Setlist updated accordingly on Side of the Road. I thought it had been done before. 😮

A brief review.

Stoger, great that you reconnected with FF member Rhon.
I miss her posts.

Great report, as always, stoger!

I would love to hear “Stand Right With Each Other.” Actually,I’m ready to hear a DWTSMTB show in it’s entirety.
