The keyword for Sept. 19 was hot. At 4 PM, the thermometer read 97 degrees–by 6 PM, the temperature had dropped to 94. At about 7 PM, tntracy, West Words, stoger, and I entered the cool, air conditioned front room of George’s Majestic Theater, and took positions at the small stage, waiting for an evening of acoustic Lucinda. Unfortunately, as we soon learned, Lucinda was not performing in the cool, front room. Instead, we walked down a corridor to find a much larger room, semi-outdoors, with a plastic tarp ceiling, some large fans, and no air conditioning. In this warm, sauna environment, Lucinda played solo, acoustic, for about 2 hours to a sold-out audience of about 450. She used her typical Gibson guitar, borrowed from the local Guitar Center.
The program:
Opening: Miller Williams reading The Caterpillar.
Lucinda’s setlist:
1. Motherless Children
2. Car Wheels
3. Am I Too Blue?
4. The Night’s Too Long
5. Side of the Road
6. Lake Charles
7. Sweet Old World
8. I Don’t Know How You’re Livin’
9. Concrete & Barbed Wire
10. Well, Well, Well
11. Jailhouse Tears (Lucinda singing both roles)
12. Somebody, Somewhere, Don’t Know What He’s Missing Tonight (Loretta Lynn song, which Lucinda recorded for a new Loretta Lynn tribute album)
13. Blessed
14. Joy
15. People Talkin’
16. Kiss Like Your Kiss
17. Hard Time Killing Floor Blues
18. Born To Be Loved
19. Nothing in Rambling
20. Honeybee
21. Passionate Kisses(encore)
22. Greenville
23. Cold, Cold HeartA rented red mustand(I asked for a compact) a willing credit card and the first cut from the hills of the State of Jefferson can not get me from Raleigh to Little Rock in 10 hours. Alas I have a ticket waiting for me in Little Rock for the show tonight 20th. The ticket is paid for under the name william s fowler. I can fax my ID if necessary later today. If you need help retrieving the ticket I can be reached(on and off) at 520 334-5562. The set list from last night makes me want to get in the car and go but this body aint able with out chemicals and this body aint willing to go there anymore. I would cry if I knew my manic dream of being in two places at one time prevented some soul from enjoying the show tonight. I guess this is not the proper forum but the DBT’s are back on the road and delivering a good helping of material from pizza delivereance. If you love LU you will probably find something to rock your boots at a DBT show! They have a new song they have been playing called everybody needs love–check it out if they come to your town–it will lift your soul if you still have one?$$$$$*****? See you on the road

2 hours of solo Lucinda! Sounds awesome. I assume you all painted the town red after.
More like “green”, tonyg! After the show, a small crowd of family & friends went across the street to Mickey Finn’s Irish Pub on Dickson St., ordered out for Jimmy John’s subs (the only place still open & serving food that late) & enjoyed $2 draft beers & glasses of wine.
The show, IMHO, was fantastic. Lu preformed several new songs, including “Blessed”, “I Don’t Know How You’re Livin'”, “Born To Be Loved” and, very new to me, the Loretta Lynn song “Somebody, Somewhere, Don’t Know What He’s Missing Tonight”, which Lu absolutely NAILED. Absolutely stunning. Other highlights for me were, “Well, Well, Well”, “Concrete & Barbed Wire”, “Side of the Road”, “Lake Charles” & “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues”. Tonight, I am hoping to hear “Bus To Baton Rogue” & maybe “Blue”.
Most of the center floor area except the very back was taken up by reserved tables, so we stood on the side for the whole show. Yes, it was hot, yes it was uncomfortable standing stage right in front of a PA stack (but right up front – Lu recognized me early in the show, mentioning she had “friends from Atlanta” there for the show, mistaking the young lady standing next to me for Sarah, who could not make the trip). But, despite the heat, humidity & sore back & feet, it was WELL, WELL, WELL worth it in every respect. One I am looking forward to repeating tonight! I have some pictures I took, but I neglected to bring my card reader on the trip to upload them to my laptop, so they will have to wait until I get home tomorrow night.
Fayetteville is a beautiful little college town with the nicest people one could imagine! Thanks to Lu, Tom & her family for such a wonderful evening!
Tom
I really, really, REALLY wish I could have made it down to Fayetteville for these shows. Last night’s setlist looks great and the fact that it was solo acoustic is even more exciting.
I can’t wait to hear the Loretta Lynn song, too…that album sounds like it’s going to be great.
Awesome reports as per their usual high standards from paul_from_losangeles and tntracy.
Thank you gentlemen.
TOverby wrote the following on Sep. 17th under the thread called “Elvis Former Studio”We discussed it on the flight from Nashville to Fayetteville and we didn’t actually confirm it until we got to Lu’s mom+dad’s house on Mon night. Her agent was a little nervous that we had enough time to sell the tickets being so last minute so we were thrilled when it sold out in 24 hours and Weds morning they had a waiting list for a possible second show so we said “let’s do it”-and here we are -the city is really excited about these shows because everyone here considers her the hometown girl. Should be real special shows and it looks like we may be able to film some of it, which I really hope works out. Anyway -that’s the story.
END QUOTE”Any film crew present last night or is it good to go for tonight TOverby?
Thanks.
lwji’m listening to ‘somebody somewhere…’ on repeat now.
The camera guys will be there tonight and hopefully we will get some good footage.
that’s really nice! any chances of a dvd release? a lucinda acoustic dvd is much needed!
i can’t imagine what’s like to listen to ‘joy’ and ‘honey bee’ that way, but if i could choose one, just one, song to listen acoustically that’d be ‘mama you sweet’. what’d happen then? no idea, but lucinda’d manage.
