Here is an interview with Lu plugging the show this Saturday in Champaign, IL:

I typed in the url to access it–pretty standard interview. But thanks Tony, I will use this thread in due time to post my report about the Virginia Theatre show.
Courtesy of Stoger, who is on site from the theater, enjoy the 2 photos.
1 Steal Your Love
2 Can’t Let Go
3 Protection {Lucinda seems to apologize, mentioning the stroke and the fact of being walked upon the stage by her tour manager. She also apologizes for “getting used to the teleprompter” and seems to bemoan the absence of The Book]
4 Crescent City {Lu mentions the upcoming New Orleans House of Blues show]
5 Drunken Angel
6 Stolen Moments [new song to be on next album, though written “a few years ago” and an apparent outtake from Good Souls, Better Angels: the setting of this lovely songs seems to include LA, NYC, and 30,000 feet above in an airplane]
7 Lake Charles
8 Big Black Train [lengthy intro mentioning several memoirs Lu has been reading: Chrissie Hynde, Rickie Lee Jones, Bruce S]
9 Ventura [“one of those inside of me songs”]
10 Blue [“Kind of a like a personification of blue or the blues”]
11 Are You D
12 You Can’t Rule Me
13 Pray the Devil Back to Hell [with talk about “exorcising the demons’}
14 Changed the Locks
15 Essence
16 Honeybee
17 Righteously

19 JoyAwesome report as usual Professor!
Since Stolen Moments was on Lu’s Jukebox Tom Petty CD I assumed it was referencing TP, but of course could be more than that. Actually saw the Boss do RnR Shoes in Buffalo in ‘09. I really like the obscure covers that Lu and the band seem to pull out of nowhere. And like Bruce, Steve Earle, and others, she doesn’t need to do the covers because of their own extensive catalog, but certainly adds to the show (thinking back to Lu’s cover of The Rising from a few years ago).
Good point, backstreets: I’m not sure then that it will be on next album, but “Stolen Moments” was a goodie. Also, I forgot to say Lu referenced the Ann Arbor show (which i did not attend) last night in Champaign and told us she said to the Ann Arbor audience “It’s good to be in Lexington.” Not even an intraconference college town! But she laughed it off, though it might not have been taken so well the night before by the Michiganders.
Stolen Moments is a Lu original. She wrote the song about Tom and put it on the Tom Petty tribute jukebox to dedicate it to Tom and his wife Dana. Perhaps a new version will end up on the next album?
That clarifies it, seangod: I have that record (not with me), but now recall it was the last track, Lu-written. Let’s hope you’re right about a future re-recording/re-release.
I guess my pics from Champaign didn’t come through, but thanks Tony for trying.
