Tarrytown NY 5/5/17

Only five songs done both nights, according to my count. . .

1 2 Kool
2 Pineola [it’s “stood the test of time”–Lu also discusses the album in general and says “I couldn’t get out of my own way” with regard to how she and others have rated it in relation to other of her records]
3 Six Blocks Away [culminates in Lu telling how she got doughnuts in the mail sent from NY to Texas after her brief stint living in the former]
4 Drunken A
5 West M
6 Bitter Memory [with much T-Bone Burnett talk, including him finally leaving the show Nashville: some Dan Auerbach talk too]
7 Passionate K [very elaborate intro reliving the Nashville days, Chapin C & Patty Loveless, Robbie Fulks, etc.]
8 Lake Charles [Lu goes wild before, referencing the singer Chely Wright who was going to cut “I Just Wanted to See You So Bad” but deemed it “unfinished” and wanted to add words (“I told her to kiss my ass”), also a statement by Lu that she and Steve Earle are “the male-female antithesis”, followed by a notation that it’s Jazz Fest right now in New Orleans]
9 Memphis Pearl [Lu remembers fretting that SOW might be a “sophomore jinx” album after the success of the Rough Trade one]
10 Sweet Old World
11 I lost It
12 Buttercup [followed by “I know, I know, I’m a ‘difficult artist’. Let’s move on.”]
13 Out of T
14 Unsuffer Me
15 Dust
16 Essence
17 Foolishness
18 Honeybee

19 Jesus Just Left Chicago
20 Righteously [Lu admires the throngs crowding the standing space in front of stage, noting “this didn’t happen last night. Must be because it’s Friday.”]
21 Get Right with God
22 Joy

Ah, if only (for instance) “Stop Breakin’ Down” had been played, we would have had a show in which at least one song from all twelve Lu studio records got played. Ah.

Good to see the Queen of Jersey Herself, ddinnj–home game for her and spouse tonight.
