Thx for the excellent report. I will have to purchase this DVD.
Oh yeah, great stuff. I watched about half of it – never seen this broadcast EVER. Anyone clamoring for the classics needs to run out and grab it pronto! Everyone else, too.
This is a must have! Great quality video/audio. The songs are classic, the vocals are prime, and the band is spot on. The whole show is fabulous, but I personally feel that things really start to heat up with Price To Pay>Disgusted. Great harmony vocals during Something About What Happens When We Talk. Kisses and Locks build to a smokin’ Happy Woman Blues. Love Gurf on guitar and backup vocals, but my vote for MVP goes to John “Juke” Logan on harmonica. That guy can BLOW!!! On a side note, you gotta love those 80’s shoulder pads.
I just got this at a record store today (I actually had forgotten it was out!) and it is amazing so far. Lucinda is in top form. Excellent songs and I’m glad to finally have a DVD that focuses solely on them.
It is funny though that you can see some clear frustration in Lucinda’s face during the second chorus of Crescent City. Something that would have gotten an automatic “FUCK!” and restart these days.

My only complaint is it doesn’t include my favorite track from s/t; Like A Rose!!!
I watched it again last night (immediately followed by the ’98 ACL DVD – interesting contrast), and was blown away again. Yeah, “Like A Rose” would have been really nice, but it is still a must have for any Lu fan, IMHO. 😉

It took another week here in Canada to finally arrive today at Best Buy.
I just finished showing this jewel at my neighbors on their new big screen LCD during a great BBQ meal.
Later, I’ll treat them to the 1989 ACL DVD.
Anyway, tntracy and others in this forum have aptly described the DVD including “Juke”‘s harmonica playing from tracks 12 thru 15 One of my favorites was Disgusted.
A second choice was Passionate Kisses although lacking the famous “wrong key” start last year in NYC which to me was priceless.
I note in the DVD case that New West Records and Austin City Limits thank, among many others Tom Overby, Rosemary Carroll, etc. Does this mean “Inside Job” played a big role in getting ACL to finally release this treasure after 19 years? If so, thanks Tom on Lu’s 30th anniversary in the “biz”
I’m a fairly “newbie” to this forum but have been fortunate to see Lu and Buick 6 three times in 08 and twice in 07.
Please return to Canada in 09.
Thanks for a great forum with Management being so involved and as your 08 tour is now ending, have a great rest.

My wife got me this DVD for christmas and I found it in her hiding place but couldn’t wait a month to see it. So late one night I slipped it in the DVD player and watched it. What an awesome show. She looks great and I love all the old songs. I hope she doesn’t notice the wrap is removed.

Tsk, tsk, Steve. Santa will be so disappointed in you!

Just listened to my DVD today. WOW. It sounds really good. “Wild and Blue” is terrific.
I wish they would release this on cd.It says she has had three ACL appearances. Are they talking about the 1989, 1998 and 2007 appearances?
Must be since those are her only appearances. I love the DVD. She certainly had a different stage demeanor back then. Wonder if Gurf still has that jacket in his closet somewhere.
