    The venue:
    The Queen’s Hall is a 900-capacity music venue, situated on Clerk Street in Edinburgh, Scotland. Originally built in 1823 as Hope Park Chapel, it was converted to its current role in 1979 and was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 6 July 1979.

    Hi, my 1st post here 🙂 Great show in Edinburgh last night, Lucinda and the band seemed to have a great time as well! Was the show being recorded? Mics both side of stage and on sounddesk? Didn’t take notes for setlist, sorry 🙄 She did say it was 1st time they’d played a new song, from a new movie on The Lone Ranger, “Everything but the Truth”
    cheers

    Thanks for reporting one eye dog.
    I’ve heard the new song and it should be added to Lucinda’s next album.

    Meanwhile, here’s ” Hard Time Killin’ Floor Blues” on video.

    Good to note that “Linda” and band premiered the Lone Ranger tune here. Hopefully, we’ll get a setlist from exile or someone soon!

    Lucinda poured her heart into a great performance, ably supported by the superb and sublime Doug and David.

    Lucinda and Doug opened on stage at 20:18
    1) Side Of The Road – then joined on stage by David.
    2) Pineola
    3) Lake Charles (sung beautifully)
    4) World Without Tears (one of my highlights of the night,and many others as well I think)
    5) When I look At The World – followed by band intros.
    6) Born To Be Loved
    7) Drunken Angel (with more stories about girly tattoos)

    At this point I must mention our own Drunken Angels, Christine from Skelmorlie in Ayrshire and complete with wine spattered T-shirt Bernie from Greenock, who had met in with Ronnie also from Greenock, obviously enjoyed the whole evening and true Lucinda Drunken Angels !!!!! See you next time folks.

    8) Little Rock Star
    9) Those Three Days (another personal highlight)
    10) Real Live Bleeding Fingers
    11) Changed The Locks
    12) Hard Time Killing Floor Blues (crowd seemed to really enjoy this one)
    13) Come On (Lucinda commented that the ladies would appreciate this one)
    14) Essence (superb) followed by thanks for support act Jimmy Livingstone
    15) Joy (with a nod to Bette)
    16) Honey Bee

    10:07 Short Break, with brilliant crowd reaction and clapping during the whole break
    10:10 Back on stage.

    17) Factory (Springsteen cover and if possible even better that Friday night)
    18) Blessed
    19) Everything But The Truth – Introduced by Lucinda as a new song she was asked to do for a Johnny Depp movie, eventually found the lyric sheets and advised us that they would “Just have to wing it”, which the crowd really appreciated.
    20) Get Right With God

    show ended 10:30

    With that I thought my Lucinda weekend was over and we went for a beer at a nearby pub, only for Doug then TomO to walk in about 20 minutes later, had a beer and a chat with them both before they had to go, so now it is over for me, what I think is that Lucinda has proved that there is a market for her in Europe…..

    SO PLEASE HURRY BACK, and thanks to all.

    p.s.

    I forgot to thank Lucinda for the last words she spoke to us before leaving the stage :-

    “Peace,Love,Revolution and Independence…”

    A superb nod to the vote next year for Scotland to free itself from our southern freeloaders….

    The independence theme seems to stike well with other performerrs of late, Neil Young opened last weeks show in Glasgow with “Flower of Scotland” and Pete Townshend spoke of it as well.. “Just do it” or something along those lines…. we might be on to something here 😀

    Great work guys, especially Dr. W. It seems like the Scottish independence motif worked a bit better than the Basque separatism rhetoric in Bilbao. “World Without Tears” is a true treat you received. And just to make the connection, the Depp movie equals The Lone Ranger–too bad for me the song wasn’t debuted earlier, but I bet it gets this played again this week. Glad you got the access afterwards too, Dr.
