Louisville, KY Setlist, Etc.

Thanks, TNT, for your early report. Many “West” appearances lately. A two thumbs up on those selections.

Happy to hear you enjoyed Louisville. I consider Kentucky home, growing up about an hour and a half north of Louisville.

Safe travels to you and yours, stoger, and anyone else on the road to Missouri.

Looking forward to stoger’s additions to your report.

Wow, the pressure’s really on here for me to live up to my posting legacy. I prefer Lafayette’s term “additions” to TN Tracy’s “corrections,” but here goes. You’re solid on the first baker’s dozen, Tom, but I think you imagined that “Drunken Angel” got done: understandable case of Blaze Foley overload. So I’ll just list post-“Pineola” here, as I recall the sequence.

14 Out of Touch
15 Essence
16 Come On
17 Real Live Bleeding Fingers & Broken Guitar Strings
18 Changed the Locks
19 Honeybee
20 Joy
21 Righteously

22 Disgusted
23 I Live My Life [tour debut I think, along with “Knowing”]
24 It’s a Long Way to the Top

True, “Real Love” and “Unsuffer Me” did not get performed. If you read Lafayette’s link to the article, you know terms like “a tickle” in the throat, “pure honey” as remedy for same, and “allergic to Nashville” (which is a couple of hours from Bonnaroo, but we get it) were all uttered by Lu around the fourth/fifth song of the set. And if “Learning How to Live” turned out indeed to be “the world’s longest song,” the tune “Pineola” last night could well be called the world’s shortest. I thought Lu had recovered her equilibrium around the time of “Plan to Marry” and “Side of the Road,” but songs 10-16 went by almost in a flash–not only no talk between, but not even a cursory intro by title for any of them. The mood seemed back to the good by the very end of the main set, smiles during the last two.

Butch urged us near the end of Buick 6’s set to be “standin’ and dancin'” during the headliner set, but no one really took this literally, though Tom is right that the crowd was good by reserved seat standards. Susannah said later a couple of fans tried to lobby for that free shirt for real, but no one pressed it, settling happily for the usual discount. This kind of offer was made by Lu between songs 6 and 7, prefaced by “this show isn’t up to my standards.”

Covington patrons might want to know that the setlist-grabbing, beer-drinking, photographer-interfering fan was back for more; he told me beforehand that he had driven up on spur of moment, bought a row S ticket on site. Really not so bad a guy as his non-sober Covington behavior might suggest him to be. “Fancy seeing you here” was his greeting to me in the brewhouse across the way.

So it’s on into the central time zone now, where it’s mere high noon at moment. Not as much of a “sleep in” as you imply, my friend TN. See you up front in Mizzou country. . .

Good stuff, guys. Thanks for your posts. Is it true it’s pronounced “Lullllville”?
