1 Metal Firecracker [restarted 2/3 of the way through: “I coughed in my sleep last night.” Lu promises us she just has to “get over the hump”]
2 Crescent City [before which Lu compares coughing with roaches; each “knows no social class”]
3 Right in Time [before which Lu reminisces about living in Brooklyn years ago and riding the subway alone–also speaks of an apartment share on 1st Ave. & 2nd st.]
4 Drunken Angel
5 Stowaway in Your Heart
6 Concrete and Barbed Wire
7 Fruits of My Labor
8 Copenhagen [after which Lu sheepishly tells the Squidbillies story again and then notes there’s no good way to say that before the song, mentioning a “politically correct/incorrect” context]
9 Over Time
10 Those 3 Days [tour debut or bust, tony g 😀 You didn’t get that one in New England, I daresay. No hesitation, no waffling, straight into it, nailed, one of the best moments of this tour year for me]
11 Something Wicked This Way Comes
12 Real Live Bleeding…
13 Essence
14 Unsuffer Me
15 Cross to Bear
16 Righteously
17 Honeybee
18 Joy [with D Garza]

19 Blessed
20 (keep on) Rockin’ in the Free World [with talk of voter suppression and a need to “get the message out”]
21 Get Right with God [with the usual suspects]Quote of the night: when introducing Doug, Lu notes that he is “a man with no fewer than 65 guitars”
Stoger, looking at Google maps, it looks like this place is just a hop skip and a jump across the bridge from the Bowery Ballroom, yes no?
I would also describe the neighbrohood in Brooklyn as “gritty”. As our imbedded reporter, please give us your take from on the ground.

You have my attention, perfesser! Care to elaborate?
The venue is right over the Williamsburg bridge from the Bowery Ballroom. If you are travelling by car.
However, by subway, you’ll want to take the L train to Bedford Ave, not the trains that go over the bridge.
The neighborhood used to be gritty, now it’s one of those neighborhoods that is both gritty and chi-chi at the same time. I highly recommend the Sardinian wine bar around the corner and NOT the Mexican seafood place.
If you have time before the show go to the new waterfront park a block from the venue. You can get a great view of Manhattan. The park on the condo towers that support it are built on what used to be a mob-run garbage facility and a police tow lot.
How was the opening act? Worth checking out?
Saw the second night in Brooklyn.
Great, great show. If you’re wondering if you should go to this tour, you should. Her band is excellent.
Don’t remember all the songs or the order but she played
Lake Charles fantastic solo version
Joy
Pineola
Seeing Black
By the Side of the Road
I Lost It
I Changed the Locks….which I always forget she wrote, because I first heard The Silos do it.
Honey Bee
Blessed
Three NightsThe same encore as above.
Thanks bk for addressing the neighborhood issue.
A more definitive setlist appears under the thread above, thanks to “visions.” Let’s call him/her Charlie Chaplin.

All I meant, lefty, is that “Those 3 Days” is one of my favorite songs. It hadn’t been done in awhile, though it has been an alternate on some setlists. The opening has been tricky for Lu live, and she seems tentative about whether she once played (or should play) guitar on it. But it went swimmingly. Both nights 😀
