>>>>>YOU’RE KIDDING: DIDN’T SEE IT! I’M A PRETTY VISA-DEPENDENT GUY, BUT DO CARRY AN AE CARD BACK OF WALLET FOR EMERGENCIES AND FREE GIFTS. HERE’S HOPING NIGHT TWO HAS THOSE SAME REPRESENTATIVES DISHING THE DRINKS OUT.
Did you find it??
I was at the Friday concert and saw the Amex promotion. Alas, I’m a Master Card guy.
I had the pleasure of stoger’s company over dinner at Fran’s Restaurant across from Massey Hall and I know he had a ticket for Saturday’s show as well.( as well as every gig up to NYC )
Today would be a travel day for stoger on the way to the next show in Ithaca, NY and that may explain why he hasn’t posted a set list from last night yet.lwj
A review from 27th Street for the 2nd Lu / Levon show last night.
Here is an excerpt.Levon Helm and Lucinda Williams at Massey Hall
We enjoyed a serious dose of Americana at Massey Hall last night. Lucinda Williams stepped onstage shortly after 8:00 with 3-piece outfit that came ready to rock. Ms. Williams was in fine form as she treated the audience to a generous selection from her extensive catalogue, including a handful of tunes from her latest effort, Blessed, as well as old favourites like Blue and Joy and the more recent Honeybee. Lucinda’s set alone was worth the ticket price, as she played for over an hour, but the show was just beginning.
Here’s the rest of the review.http://27thstreet.wordpress.com/

14.JoyThanks to lwjetta for noting that travel and off days must be factored in for fans as well as artists; your phrasing and patience are appreciated, and the setlist is spot-on. First of all, Rug, I went dry vis-a-vis the American Express booth, staffed by a toothsome youngster who, despite the clear blue AE logo on the card I produced, could not come through with the drink tickets. “I’ve never seen one like this,” she stated, perhaps referencing the nation of its issue? But I had already seen the “platinum gold” sign booth left, and knew my plastic, though technically American Express, was several tiers below that level. “It never hurts to ask” was the second, consolatory sentence from out behind those pearly whites. I went to the Fran’s bar counter.
Has anyone in this stream noted that “Crescent City” and “Evangeline” got done 7-8 in the main (Helm) set Saturday night? Excuse the passive voice “got done”: Hell, she belted them out, with a little help as follows (and notice the Emmylou kind of pairing, if you will, with these song choices): Brian Mitchell on accordion; John Weiner on guitar; Byron Isaacs on upright bass; Larry Campbell on fiddle; Amy Helm and Teresa Williams [a k a Mrs. Larry Campbell] on background vocals and, . . . oh yeah, Levon Helm on drums. Sublime. The downside was no Lu circa 11:45 p.m. when “The Weight” and “I Shall…”got done again Saturday, but hey–no complaints.
“Seeing Black” was a bit rough around the edges, Lu having what I think was some trouble hearing the instrumentation and background mikes from her spot–Val had to pretty much lead her through one of the “seeing white: choruses by simply singing on and not letting her stop and start over. STill, it was great to hear it done again. And “Convince Me,”firsttime in my hearing since Ventura: superb, solid. The whole set was a better band night than Friday, perhaps slightly less of a Lu night, but only slightly.
So does Levon have 2 Grammys or3? The “live”introducer said 2 Sat., while the canned PA gave him 3 inthe intro Friday. I only ask because we know who has a definite 3… And how about 9 of the 14 Lu-set songs Sat. new from Fri. This is much appreciated.

Stoger, what a show that must have been.
Levon-seems to be 2 Grammys and I found his partial set list with Lu indicated.His 2007 comeback album Dirt Farmer earned the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album in February 2008, and in November of that year, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him #91 in the list of The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.[1] In 2010, Electric Dirt, his 2009 follow-up to Dirt Farmer, won the first ever Grammy Award for Best Americana Album, an inaugural category in 2010.[2]
