20 It’s a Long WayPaul, please fill in the gaps. I think she said something of note between Blue and Pineola but can’t recall it. Near end of Buick 6’s set, Butch said “scream, dance, shout–adulation: it will make your lives better, and our lives better on stage.” Well, we did, and it seemed to. Maybe the best show of the Spain and beyond leg, certainly the best in UK so far. Strange house policy of herding people upstairs for an indoor line of about 45 minutes, after people stood outside until 19:00. Double queue, as it were. Maybe soundcheck ran late. At any rate, an appreciative crowd, a happy Lu. Standing, no seats. Paul?
Good report, stoger. You obviously found a computer faster than me, in beautiful downtown Manchester. Regarding your note, between Blue and Pineola, Lucinda told the tale of Frank Stanton, the poet of suicide in Pineola.
The Leamington Spa audience was extremely focused on experiencing Lucinda. The ages seemed between 30 and 70, with a welcome absence of noisy youngsters, programmed to party, talk, and binge-drink. There was no talking during the songs, but lots of inspired applause and shouts after each song. People seemed to each buy 1 drink,and then nurse their drink throughout the show, without the annoying disruptions of repeated trips through the crowd for the next round of booze.
An excellent show, although it seemed to have a curfew. The first (and only) encore set ended at 11, and the house lights came up immediately.
Nice set list Stoger…specially the encore with Passionate Kisses!!!
Nothing like the “passionate” fans from Spain, that’s true. 😉

Good summary Paul, good to hear from Bigsubi too. It’s Frank Stanford, but no big deal. And what she also said in front of “Pineola” was that the owner of the Assembly Leamington Spa owns Tammy Wynette’s former trailer, installed on site!
I was at this show – my first from LW. One of the best shows I think I’ve ever seen, I think.
It wasn’t what I was expecting, I must admit, having mentally prepared myself for something more acoustically biased & contemplative, but hey, if you have the staff to do a set like that (as it were), then why not?!
I’m only sorry that I couldn’t stay til the end at Cambridge last night – after reading the earlier threads about how central the interaction with the audience seems to be to the success of LW shows, it would have been interesting to see what she and that audience made of one another.
I suspect she’ll have gone down a storm with this set in a way that she perhaps wouldn’t have done with a more acoustically-based performance in front of a crowd who will have been flagging on the final night.
Cheers,

So did you see any of Lu’s Cambridge set, Bonefish? Setlist anyone?
