    With the addition of a 9/18 show in Mpls all of the dates posted in the other thread are correct and are the 30th Anniversary Shows previously mentioned in these parts. The format of the shows will be:

    The 2-Night shows (Toronto)
    Night 1-Set 1: Selections from Ramblin’, Happy Woman Blues and Lucinda Williams
    Night 1-Set 2: Selections from Sweet Old World, Car Wheels
    Night 2-Set 1: Selections from Essence, World Without Tears
    Night 2-Set 2: Selections from West, Little Honey

    The 3-Night shows (New York, Chicago)
    Night 1-Set 1: Selections from Ramblin’, Happy Woman Blues and Lucinda Wiliams
    Night 2-Set 1: Selections from Sweet Old World, Car Wheels and Essence
    Night 3-Set 1: Selections from World Without Tears, West and Little Honey

    The second set each night will be a set from the entire catalog, similar to 2nd sets from the album shows in 2007
    There may be additional 30th Anniversary shows on the west coast in Feb. but that is still tentative.
    More details to follow.

    Looking at Lu’s tour date list at High Road Touring today, I noticed something interesting. The 30th anniversary dates in NYC have the phrase “An Evening With” associated with them, while all other dates have the typical “100% Headline” that is always there when Lu is indeed the headliner.

    So, what’s this mean? “An Evening With” whom? Is / are there going to be special guest(s) at the NYC shows? Inquiring minds wish to know… 😉

    Ticketmaster / Live Nation says NYC shows go on Live Nation pre-sale on Monday 8/3 at 10am EDT; on sale to the general public on 8/7 at 10am EDT. (Does anyone know how Live Nation pre-sales work? Password?) Also, it doesn’t give specifics, but there appears to be a discount if you buy tickets for all 3 NYC shows. Woo-hoo! I am still basking in the afterglow from the 2007 NYC shows, can’t wait to experience this bunch. 🙂

    Here are some of the answers to some of the questions that have come up in this thread and elsewhere in the forum.
    1) What is “A Night With?”
    It means that because these shows have two sets they will be longer shows so there will be no opener on these shows.
    2) Will they be recorded?
    I would like to but still have to get the permission to do so.
    3) Special guests?
    Hard to say but invitations will certainly be extended

    If anyone has anymore questions about these shows–or anything for that matter–just let me know.

    Thanks very much for the info, Tom. I would love to make it to all three nights of the Chicago run, but given that it’s about a two and a half hour drive for me and I have to work all week, I think two is probably my limit. The first show especially sounds intriguing…would love to hear some really rare stuff from Ramblin’ and Happy Woman Blues.

    And the Milwaukee show on 9/22 will be a nice warm-up for me. I love the Pabst and remember how good her show was when I saw her there in ’07.
