What a Marquee for another sold out show.
Just a big thanks to our West coast reporter Mike for covering all these sold out shows.
As much as I look forward to seeing the varied setlists your colour commentary ( i.e Lu for KBB) is great to add to the show.lwj

Thanks so much, LW… It’s been a blast.

Of Note:
A reported (by venue) 3hr delay at the border had a lot of people nervous that the show would be late. No mention of it by Lu.. show went off on time after we all waited in lobby while they sound checked..
Lu took the stage at 9:15 and played until 11:25. She seemed in a great Valentines Day mood.. opening with “Happy Valentines Day!!” Great show… Commentary included dedicating Copenhagen to the people there as a result of the shootings there earlier in the day.. “when will it stop?”. The band..again..really were amazing. At Lu’s encouragement.. the house stood for the encore(s)!!KBB opened and were joined by Lilly Mae for a couple songs…
Side Note:
Burger at local pub afterwards.. watched as Stuart came in and sat at bar by himself totally unnoticed by many there who just came from giving him a standing O.. Normally don’t like to intrude… but had to shake his hand and thank him on his way out.. Amazing playing lately. David has also been really awesome of late.. throwing down the pick and really getting into it.thanks, Mike; Stuart is the man. Red ink coming up, and I can’t think of a more unique, unpredictable trio of opening songs than what you list, even though “Steal” was not a tour debut. Ah, Copenhagen, long a sound or “ah” sound, doesn’t matter. Thanks.
From T.O :
Well we made it on two fronts -couldnāy leave BC until 7am when the ferry opened and then had a delay at the border crossing -because we were apparently the first tour bus to ever cross there and they had no idea what to do. Very odd. We didnāt even get to Spokane until 6pm or so. We also made it in regards to the fact that, counting the radio show in Seattle this meant 7 days of shows in a row. Everyone is ready for a day off-but only after an 11 hour drive to Salt Lake -who schedule this tour anyway? Some rookie. After much debate over which āValentineā song to start the show with, Lu made a show time call to go with Steal Your Love. Copenhagen was dedicated to the events of the day in Denmark with Lu simply saying āwhen will it stop?ā
Another sold show making 7 in a row. 4 tour song debuts brining that count to 53.

“Rookie” Frank Riley needs a slap on the wrist.
Ambitious week of great music executed near perfectly logistically and otherwise, Tom.
Bravo to all involved.I must say though that even as a dedicated fan with time, a new vehicle to break in, and a desire to make all the NW shows… the Victoria show had to be cut early from the itinerary. Made five out of six of them though, and I was exhausted..and I just had to show up and relax! Hopefully they’ll be a second annual “World tour of the Northwest”…
Yet another outstanding review:
