Open for comments gig # 14 of 32
I’ve got a great sense that this place is going to be rocking tonight. ( a 1,500 capacity standing )
Lu has played there several times in the last ten years.
My intro for this venue is a clip I’m going to link to just for fun.
The event took place recently at the Paradiso wherein “The Chet” and “Mr E” celebrated playing together for ten years with the EELS, the clip comes complete with 4 Amsterdam prostitutes on stage.

lwj, posting the concert number sequence has been helpful in tracking the cities on setlist.fm. All cities are up to date, however, I can’t say the same for setlists. All in all, pretty darn good job.
Hard Time Killing Floor….. Agreed a great show. We are taking next few days off. Hopefully someone will cover Germany.
A fine, but not a really great show in Paradiso. Got the idea that there was no real chemistry between Lucinda, David and Doug. At least not untill late in the show. And I missed Blue.. one of the greatest songs by Lucinda. Oh well, it can not always be as fantastic as in Utrecht in 2009 🙂

Agree. It was a great setlist, but I got the impression something had happened before the show, at least Lucinda was in a bad mood. She hardly talked between the songs. I had expected her show would be positively influenced by the Paradiso audience, but that didn’t happen. The show in Eindhoven, while not her proper venue and audience, was fantastic. Last night I saw a different person.
Only during the encores did she cheer up a bit and it was as if to compensate for her earlier behaviour, that the encore was long (5 songs).
Had I not seen the Eindhoven show I’d have said a good show, but now I can only say not a bad show with a good encore.Setlist:
01. Can’t Let Go
02. Car Wheels On A G ravel Road

I tend to agree about the lack of chemistry and with another writer about no percussion on stage. ( I know this was a budget constraint-just saying. )
Lots of cameras were going for the Paradiso, but I picked CWOAGR because of the overhead camera in action.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-sQ-KJQG2Y

this is the most depressing front row audience i’ve ever seen. i mean, it’s CAR WHEELS. if people can’t move their heads to this song . . .
