20 [I DEFER TO BIGSUBI TO POST THE SPANISH TITLE OF THIS LU CLASSIC: OH MY GOD!)Bigsubi, so glad you got access. I looked for that Cramps t-shirt you were wearing, even asked Susannah at merch booth about same, but to no avail. I had a backstage pass in my own pocket but was just too tired to stay. Look for me in Madrid, may be wearing Twangfest tshirt with Dylan and James Brown on front…
What a beautiful venue, the Teatro Principal. As Lu put it at one point (perhaps segueing in and out of genres and nationalities a bit much, but enticingly), it was “an opera house before Shakespeare.” Me, I was just glad to be seated and not leaning up against a bit of local flora piercing my spine, a la Cartagena. Two different crowds, but that´s one of the joys of Lu fandom.
Buick 6 was introduced bilingually, Nick (who was dressed much like the majority of the patrons) handling the English and the promotor maybe (same guy as in Bilbao) translating. Butch introduced half the band near end, thanking the locals for the NBA player contributed to the Lakers and pointing out how big of a fan he and David are. Guess the Knicks and Trailblazers have no native Aragonians on the squad. . .
So Bigsubi, tell us the last double encore song. A hint will be this, in my bumbling Spanish: Lucinda, tu eres el sol que illuminata mi verrano (I know that´s way off, but yo hablo espanol solamente un poco).

Hmmm. “Big Red Sun Blues”?
Tom
Lucinda tell us for two times the name from the song but I can only remember that the songwriter or only the writer is from Santiago de Chile. 😳
I’m very sorry but the emotional moment from yesterday night have paralyzed my brain. 😛 Something like “viento calido”Tonight t-shirt in Madrid: Neil Young Tour 2009!!!

Tony, thanks for the comment.
Tom, sorry to be such a tease. I was trying to translate my favorite line in the song, not the song title–sol/sun is absolutely right. It´s “I Envy the Wind,” recorded by Leila (sp?) Downs in both languages. Lucinda translated and sang wonderfully. She´s the sun that brightens MY summer, indeed.
Bigsubi, you´re entitled to your paralysis, happened to me in Lincoln, Nebraska in ´02 when first I shook Lu´s hand. And by the way, I don´t think I´ve heard 6 songs from Essence in one concert since. Sublime. “Viento” is maybe right–the English and Spanish of the verb and noun in the title were both phonetically close.
I´ll take that Neil Young and raise you one Cash/Dylan/Brown by way of t-shirt design. Soon.
