I liked them both. Lu mixed up the setlists. The addition of Carrie Rodriguez on fiddle was beautiful. It also seemed the 2nd night was longer, plus she did World Without Tears.
The Chicago Tribune has a review of the first night and they list Heffington as the drummer! It reads like the person just was sent and told to write something down, anything — heck, hire me Tribune. I actually like music.
I really enjoyed both nights, but I’d agree that the second night was a little better. Lucinda seemed a little more relaxed and did a little more talking between songs, I liked the setlist even better, and Still I Long For Your Kiss was absolutely electrifying. I saw both shows from the front row, only five feet from Lucinda all night, and it was amazing. I’m still undecided about the new band – the bass player’s all right, but sometimes it seems like the drummer’s a little overpowering. Didn’t think he was bad, though.
We did get an extra song the second night. I was able to see the setlist taped to the floor from where I was standing, and the first night she didn’t deviate from the plan at all. The second night, she had listed Can’t Let Go as an alternate to Disgusted, and she completely changed up the second encore. On the setlist, it was listed as:
I Envy The Wind/West
World Without Tears/People Talkin’I would’ve loved I Envy The Wind, but it was really great to hear two lesser-played songs from World Without Tears. She apparently did Crescent City as a response to requests from the crowd. All in all, a fantastic show – she’s just as great of a performer as she’s always been.
Carrie Rodriguez was wonderful, too. I thought some of her slower songs dragged a little, but the uptempo numbers were great. She’s got a great voice and man, can she play the fiddle. Don’t miss her set.
