1 Real Love (tour manager Eric walks on with lu and orders a fan next to stage to stop smoking, practically swats the flame out himself)

*3 2 Kool 2 B 4 Gotten
4 People Talkin´

Fine show–The Big Pink had already gone ahead to Switzerland, everyone flying tomorrow, so I´m not sure how the gear was loaded out and so on, but no real prospect for an aftershow. Still, bigsubi and his wife Mercedes and I said our good-byes, along with a couple of doctors from the hospital where he works, one of whom was sporting a Tom Waits tshirt. Show was over before 11, Buick 6 on around 8:30. Nick gave an intro in Spanish, and while there were only a few dozen people near stage when they started, the place was packed with standers by end of their set.
Lu was happiest during songs five and six just as the sound got fixed, but it may have displeased her again; the rocker portion of the set sure started early. But she was smiling and speaking Spanish (Catalonian mind you) to the crowd near the end.
Hasta luego, in another culture.
After the good byes we went to the car and I had a thought and tell to Mercedes to go back to the venue again. 😉
We find the truck driver and ask for Eric. After ten minutes Eric came and carry us to the backstage to say thanks and goodbye to Lucinda and Tom. 😀
At the entrance we find David Sutton and finally we give him my t-shirt from The Cramps too. Maybe some gig he will put on. 😮
By the way, Lucinda plays “something about what happens when we talk” after she asked in Zaragoza to us if we wish some song to play in Barcelona. Wonderful!!! 🙄Specially thanks to Eric F. Big hug Tom O. and kisses Lu!!!

Good thinking, bigsubi, good errand-running Mercedes. What are spouses for really¿ And I failed to point out in my report that Lucinda was given flowers at two different points in the show, one set of which went toppling during “It´´s a Long Way to the Top” as Chet lost his balance shortly after being bumped by David. This indicates a lot about the fans here–and about the rockin´nature of the last Spanish show.
It was my first time. She was brilliant. And I had the honour to enter into the dressing room to meet her. She was so sweet. She signed me some records and then I took some pictures. You can find the chronicle of the gig and some pictures in my blog: www.sanfreebird72.blogspot.com (is is written in Spanish). I am in love with that Angel. Lu, keep on rocking!
It was also my first time and what a great show!
Thanks a lot Lu for coming to Barcelona and come back soon! 😉Here you have some pics I took during the show:

Yes, indeed. Looks like Lu needs to make it to Spain more often!
Tom
Yes, she has to come to Europe more often 😉
I filmed these two videos yesterday night:

When I meat her she and the concert promotor told me that she was impressed by the Spanish crowd reaction and that she will come back soon. Hope she does!
