Lafayette Setlist

1 2 Kool
[Lu says she is “pulling out all the stops” in getting Southern songs into setlist (“not that most of them are non-Southern”) and opines about the songs being a “map” of places in her past: “I love that drive between New Orleans and Lafayette on I-10.”]
2 Car Wheels
3 West Memphis [Lu huddles briefly with new monitor guy, then praises whole crew]
4 Pineola [longest intro ever: finally, Lu calls herself out for “too much talk.” Truly, David could have caught a nap between West Memphis and the part where the bass comes in 45 seconds or so into Pineola. Among the topics Lu references in her intro are Hank Williams and a “politically correct” Bostonian who once misquoted Hank in his intro to her show]
5 Drunken A
6 Jackson
7 Can’t Close the Door [before which the drummer’s astrological sign is revealed: “Butch chose this one,” as apparently Can’t Close was an alternate for the seventh song. Then Lu apologizes for all the “hooey-dooey sixties” talk about the zodiac]
8 Bitter Memory {which was in the seventh slot on setlist: Lu bashes Nashville (“whatever hybrid thing Nashville is doing”) then says to the crowd about her garrulity “I’m really not taking anything. . .I had only a little coffee”]
9 Ghosts
10 Lake Charles (the word “boudan” gets a surprisingly mute reaction from Lafayette, LA citizens)
11 Blue
12 Fruits
13 Dust [with mention of three LA universities Miller Williams taught at: McNeese St.; LSU; Loyola U]
14 Changed the L
15 Essence
16 Fool
17 Honeyb
