    Good catch, v. I am not familiar with the venue name, hope it’s not a gussied-up New Orleans Civic Auditorium (though I did once see Lu open for Dylan there). Why not HOB again? Anyway, the spring is turning our way, this one fairly hard on the heels of the MA/NY make-up run. Is she also playing the Fest proper, any word? And yes, fine memory of last year, though you don’t have the advantage of Amtrak Train 58, straight from Memphis to NOL.

    Stoger, Taking a train from Memphis to the Crescent City sounds like the beginning of a Lucinda song 🙂

    And there’s a pretty straight line from Lu’s character “Memphis Pearl” to the Mandeville-living “Mama.” Unfortunately, some of the Big Black Train syndrome rubbed off, too much I’m afraid.

    The venue for this show is GA on the floor, with seating up above that I presume are reserved, like HOB. I missed the presales that were earlier in the week, so will see what comes up for public sale today. This bag of bones has a hard time nowadays with all the standing and waiting necessary to ride the rail for GA.

    I can’t imagine ever going to another GA show. An hour standing in line, an hour waiting for the opening act, 30 more minutes waiting for the headliner, stand for a 2 hour show. I don’t think so.

    P.S. And this is why I have elected to stay home tomorrow and catch the Troubadour show on the interweb.

    Ye bags of bones, perk up and stand, whether in West Hollywood/Beverly Hills or in the Crescent City. That said, I myself will be seated in front of a computer for the tribute–and likely upstairs seated if I make New Orleans. Three months from now, I will be no younger (as the man said).
