Ft. Lauderdale Setlist (on Terra Firma)

1 World Without Tears (Lu is helped on and heads immediately to a chair)
2 Protection [Lu pops up, stays standing for the duration of the show]
3 Pineola
4 Bad News Blues
[After, Lu–who had obviously been staring at someone up front for awhile–asked if that was her sister Karen, recently moved from IN to FL, in the first row. Apparently not, from the response]
5 Lake Charles
6 Ventura {for beach and ocean people on any coast: afterwards, there is a long narrative which mentions Bob Dylan and Miller Williams–“I guess I’m a poet” is Lu’s wistful, somewhat sheepish verdict on her lyrics here]
7 Big Black Train [with a perhaps needlessly explanatory intro, but I’m with “backstreets” from the other thread: a moving song on land or sea]
8 Fruits of my Labor [long intro]
9 Are You Down {lu invites the audience to stand in middle of it, and to the consternation of Security, dozens do]
10 You Can’t Rule Me
11 Pray the Devil back to Hell
12 Out of Touch [audience digging this one much]
13 Little Rock Star [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
14 Changed the Locks
15 Righteously [with karaoke-bar intro]
_____________________________________________________________________________
16 Man without a Soul [yes, Lucinda has added her voice to the Putin-naysayers: twice, though, she insists he does have a soul, like everyone else. Our recent former president is also named in the intro (“Weren’t those two buds?”) After, Lu waves Butch off as she starts “Joy,” adding that she is a “rebel AND a patriot” and “I recommend international travel”]
17 Joy {to the consternation of both Security and the necktied staff, Lu barrels on through this one–and would have done more if she could, looked like]

Nothing counters the foul atmosphere of being in Ft. Lauderdale during spring break quite like Lucinda also being there. See the X song “Skin Deep Town.”
