Austin setlist

they didn’t play Little Angel or Ugly Truth. Great show. I didn’t track the setlist but know what I didn’t hear:) bonus at stubb’s was Black Pistol Fire indoors afterwards. Those guys rock.

Good detective work West words, and good comments everybody. It is true that “Angel” was skipped, haven’t heard that one in ages, Hendrix indeed. I was hoping for the other side of the virgule with song nine, but the duo on the older song was fine.

Here are a few remembrances:

“Can’t Let Go” got mucho mention of Austinite Randy Weeks by way of intro, though I don’t think he was in the house.

“Buttercup” was framed by talk of a DJ who had announced it was about Lu’s current disillusionment with husband Tom. She mock-warned us about future interpretations of any such creations by others. “Buttercup” was deemed the “final chapter” in her bad boy saga.

Not long after, she noted that both “Essence” and “Come On” were “bad boy songs” and said if she were Marianne Faithful she might reveal the source of each (perhaps will anyway in the future). I leave it to savvy Forum members to interpret the MF reference, or not, as a Doug Pettibone allusion.

So it was a fine show, 30 shy of selling out I hear. Though I must note that Black Pistol Fire was a bit too “rock[y]” for my taste; it was nice to kind of settle into the courtyard with the Texas raccoons rather than catch their act indoors, late night.

Once I got my footing about a half hour before Erica’s opening song, all was stable for the show’s duration. Thanks to paulinlosangeles for these clay/sand/dirt soundings some weeks ago. Stubb’s Outdoors is unique.

Erica did seven songs, three newbies I think, three from The Mountain, one from the HB’s first record. she abandoned the cowboy hat four or so into the set, and she had one sideman throughout. for my money (not that it’s a question of funds), this was the best in the working experiment of “local/regional” first acts.

Awww, thanks victhechic:). Are u still in town? I head back to lalaland mañana; let’s meetup in CA.

We left town first thing Sun. morning. (was grateful I got my mate to stay 1 nite!) We live about 2 hrs. east of Austin…No plans of going to CA, unless we go visit the grandson, a Marine, stationed in San Diego….Enjoyed the Youtube video, lil-tiger! I think I can hear myself “hoop-n-holler”!!!! I was up front , stage center… 🙂

Glad to have you on-board, stoger. The next time you see Erika, please tell her to grace us with her presence up here in cow country!
