Blessed (again trying to remember if this actually got played or not -it was written on the setlist but not sure if we had time for two songs or just the one)It was very, very special to have Buddy Miller sitting in for all three nights. The combination of Doug and Buddy on guitars was amazing- I remember standing there watching and thinking how great it would be to have this band all the time. On all fronts it was a very lively three nights. Going into it nobody was sure what to expect -how it would be playing onstage withe boat swaying etc. but apparently this was on of the calmer trips so it was different to feel that movement, but it wasn’t too bad. It was kind of funny, the first night Lu wore her Keds and someone came up to her and said ” I see that someone tipped you off on wearing flat shoes while onstage” and she said “well no, actually I just wanted to wear them”. It did prove to be the right choice so she wore them for all three shows. All in all a great trip. I’m sure we”ll do it again sometime.
WOW!!! LOTS of updates – thank you so much for all of the great info. I agree that Buddy and Doug would be the absolute dream team! I love, love, love Buddy, and got to see him perform with Jim Lauderdale at the Americana Conference as well as Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and his shows were the highlights of both festivals for me. What a great and open spirit he is!
I’ve always kinda thought of Doug as being to Lu what Buddy is to Patti Griffin. At the Royce Hall show, the sound was crazy amazing and the slow songs were stunningly beautiful and heart-breaking. It made me miss having Doug in the band, especially with the way his pedal steel adds that special something. It sounds like Stuart will just be filling in temporarily, and I know Doug is touring with John Mayer this spring, but do you think it’s possible at some point down the road, that Doug might come back?
Thanks again, Tom, for taking the time to fill us in on all of these details. 🙂
Well, since you asked, Doug has signed on for London and whatever other shows that may be added to Europe in Nov.
I have to agree with West Words. I miss the Doug days. I have seen so much magic with him on stage. He & Buddy Miller would be a great combo. It sounds like i’ll be seeing John Mayer if he comes near Nashville. That would be a cool Ryman show.
jealous…Doug + Lu = pure bliss. I love what Blake brought to the band this past year, but Doug’s got that mojo workin’.
I completely agree that Blake is an incredible talent and what a year he gave us! Plus, we are all going to be able to say we knew him back when… 🙂
Awesome news about Doug doing the Europe shows. Guess I need to look at my airline miles and hotel points…
TO, I believe you are the male equivalent of a temptress. 😉 😆
