    Manillo, it’s a road trip, but did you make it down (over?) to Berlin? Who’s stepping up with an account? Bitte. Danke.

    Hello Folks

    I’m not a Berliner but I did make it along to the Berlin show. Lu & the band were first on (before Lambchop & Calexico) and played an abbreviated set which started just after 6pm and finished just after 7pm. There were no encores but Lu seemed to be enjoying herself greatly. I did notice what appeared to be a verbal altercation between one of Lu’s crew and another roadie with a lot of pointing to watches. A very enjoyable albeit concise set which was basically a cut down version of the previous night’s in Hamburg.

    01. Happy Woman Blues
    02. I Lost It
    03. Drunken Angel
    04. Pineola
    05. Tears Of Joy
    06. Out Of Touch
    07. Changed The Locks
    08. Real Live Bleeding Fingers & Broken Guitar Strings
    09. Essence
    10. Honey Bee
    11. Joy
    12. It’s A Long Way To The Top

    The Hamburg (what a great venue) & Berlin (a great outdoor venue) shows were the first shows I have witnessed with the new band configuration and are actually the first times I’ve ever seen her without Doug on guitar. Chet certainly gets a few more solos and there’s also a lot more interaction between the two guitarists. There were one or two numbers where I missed Doug’s playing but the overall effect was negligible and probably just down to taste. I must say that I especially enjoyed Eric’s arabesque soloing on Essence.

    Really looking forward to the UK shows in a couple of weeks time…

    Gute Nacht!

    Great report, Exile–and bilingual too! That “altercation” and watch-pointing is intriguing; I daresay Lu’s own crew should have been doing it in Santa Fe this summer, in the direction of Messrs. Gilmore, Hancock, and Ely (though their set was great). Anyway, I reckon Lambchop has more sheer quantity of band members than Buick 6. Thanks again.
