Minneapolis…

Ah, “back of book”–maybe an alternative spelling for the title track of the 2001 album? And a song already played?

Anyway, thanks for posting this Samish; let me add a few comments. I found a nice perch night one between the Pac Man game machine and a dusty food vending machine, stage left, not up front but not far back either. The view through the scrim of the diagonal staircase was a perfect angle on Lu (and David), though Butch and Stuart were not in frame. Security did a fine job herding people off a standing position on the staircase, so my view was never obstructed. I even succumbed to a sugar urge during “Foolishness,” readying myself for the rockers by punching in the code for a $1.25 Milky Way bar, successfully–only had to lean one pace to my right to do so. And I’m proud to report that I had to deny no one access to a round of Pac-Man, though a few drunken mutterers tried to squeeze in next to me periodically.

The red color says it all: I loved “Minneapolis,” and Lu introduced it briefly by noting she wrote it here while cutting the Essence (Essense?) record.

Lu mentioned in front of “Compassion” that only one of her father’s books is in print, called Some Jazz Awhile.

Only after “Honeybee” did Lu get around to reminding everyone that she got married on stage here.

A bra was thrown on stage during “Righteously,” which Lu fielded and mock tossed Stuart’s way. When he seemed to wave her off, she heaved it in Butch’s general direction, briefly putting it on the mike stand too.

a night two report please!!!!!!!!!!!
