A college pal of mine went to the Santa Fe show. It was his first LW show and he gave me a postive review of Lu and her band. His main musical influences are Iggy Pop and The Ramones so the fact that he liked the show is high praise.
No setlist of course.
A Canuck “I” boy reporting.
What is it about Santa Fe – are there strange electrons floating out in the desert? Things started fine with the first two songs (well…Lu did forget to put her capo on for Can’t Let Go so there was a very brief false start with Lu laughing saying “I can’t believe I did that”.)
As Stuart began to hit the opening chords of Metal Firecracker – it was quickly apparent that something was very wrong -there wasn’t any sound — his entire pedal board was completely out. Justin, our guitar tech came out immediately and tried to fix it and while he did Lu improvised by telling the background story of what Metal Firecracker was about and then introducing the band. While she was doing so someone yelled out “the same thing happened at the Soleri” – referring to the show at Paolo Soleri Amphitheater in 2009. Without missing a beat, pun intended, Butch responded by saying “thanks for reminding us”. Perfect. The problem proved to be serious with Justin coming out between every song for most of the first half of the set and eventually using one of Travis from The Kenneth Brian Band’s pedals for a temporary solution. All in all, everyone got through it with some quick thinking and the show managed to go on. Another great sold out crowd.
4 tour song debuts (was surprised to go back and look and see that this was the tour debut of Magnolia), which I believe brings the total to 61.
