The LSD our resumes in San Fran on August 1. I will be in attendance for the August 2 show in Los Angeles. Who else is going to a show? Tell all.
Aye aye, cap’n. Nice play on King Leg for the subject title too. Come on to San Fran as well, if work–i.e. golf–permits.
I will be attending the show in Charlotte August 11. I can’t wait. My last Lucinda show was at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC April 23, 2017.
Do the performers alternate the order in which they come on stage? What is the usual order, Steve then Lu then Dwight? I know King Leg is the opener. I see that Steve has joined Lu onstage recently, has she also joined Steve during his set? And has Dwight collaborated with any of them onstage? ThanksThe Hello Rainydayman! The way it worked in Los Angeles was King Leg was on at 7:30 I think. Steve Earle and band at 7:50. Lu at 8:50. Dwight Yoakum at 10. I think that has been the order for every show. When I went, Lu guested on a song during Steve’s set, Steve came out during Lu’s set, and all 3 played together on the final encore.
Have fun!
Thanks for the info tonyg. Very helpful info. So King Leg played less than 20 minutes? Still, it’s good exposure for the kid. FYI, I’ve been a member of the forum since 2006, when I saw Lu for the first time at Carolina Theater in Greensboro. It was the VietNam vet night when Lu was passed a note from the vet in the audience, damn I can’t remember his name, but his note explained that he and his buddies sang “Are You All Right” for a fallen soldier’s recent burial at Arlington National Cemetery. It was emotional. Later, 2 songs from that night’s performance were included on the EP, “Lu in 08” as a political “get out and vote” statement. The songs were Thievery Corporation’s “Marching the Hate Machine,” and Dylan’s “Masters of War.” It’s also noteworthy to point out that we heard the live debut of “For What It’s Worth” that night. Maybe her EP helped, people did get out and voted in record numbers for the 2008 elections. I’ve seen Lu over a dozen times since that first experience, mostly in NC, and I’ve enjoyed sharing and listening on this forum. I’ve seen Lu at least 4 times at the Orange Peel in Asheville, and those shows were rowdy and so much fun and Lu always smiled and commented on the crowd. The worst was a theater show in Charlotte in late September 2008 as the big banks were on melt down. Lu did the classic tap on the microphone and said, “is this thing on?” as America’s banking city was crashing and burning. Weird crowd. People sat on their hands and barely clapped. I expect a better response Saturday in banking city. I’ve met several great forum members at shows over the years thanks to you and this great chat room. I’m looking at you stoger.
Yes, I’ll see you in Charlotte, raindayman. When you return to the Forum, you return with a vengeance.
