Was going to get a setlist, but unexpectly ran into some friends post show. Did get a pic of it though in the lobby, ( thx to the guy for letting me take the pic). If anyone can put it up here just IM me and I’ll email it to you
Will do visions. look into the PM I just sent in your user control panel for my e-mail address.
Glad you enjoyed the show. Lu is really mixing up the set lists on this tour.

Thanks you two:visions’ amendment of Nick’s setlist is spot-on. I suspected that was Nick on the train platform (bearded; longish hair), but he/you had the head down the whole time into a hand-held device, so I didn’t approach. Typing in the setlist, perhaps?
Yes, it was a rough start. Lu went on between 8:40 and 8:45, absurdly early for a show with opener which was billed as 8:00. When I walked in circa 7:55, I had obviously missed my favorite KBB song, “Texas by Tonight.” They were on either their second or third song, and Kenneth made reference to a “shortened” set. Odd, as I asked the house manager about curfews; he objected to the term, and said “some artists have played until 11:30, whenever.”
Lu made a point of her “professional[ism]” at getting on stage on time, in the context of some apparent monitor woes at start. She pronounced herself “embarrassed and self-conscious” around song three. Yes, “Little Rock Star” and “Atonement” were the “extra” songs, Lu unleashing the f-bomb about herself as she launched into the latter–but she was pretty much smiling by that late point.
The train schedule to Westhampton Beach is lousy, so I’ll be late tonight but will try to report. Let’s only hope she goes on closer to 9:40 than 8:40.
Yep that was me on the platform. I was either on my phone or stuffing my face with empanadas.
I missed the whole opening act. A guy I met at the bar said they won’t go on until 8:20 so I went in late. I was shocked when I was told they were done.
Oh well, still had a blast. The crowd seemed a little dead. I need to see her in New Orleans or in some divey honky tonk down south.

Plenty of places down there, from TN thru MS to LA. Go drag this time; y’all come.
Review, of sorts, from the local Morristown paper–some pics included on the site:

Lucinda Williams in Morristown: No wallowing allowed
June 23, 2014 by Kevin Coughlin Leave a Comment
Lucinda Williams, your Christmas album is long overdue.
Here are the rules: None of those somber manger songs with the minor chords. No, we want Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells and Suzy Snowflake.
This wicked yearning struck us midway through Friday’s show at the Mayo Performing Arts Center, where the queen of You-Done-Me-Wrong took a pretty packed house on a two-hour tour of some dark places.A ride that’s all about bumps in the road got off to an appropriately rocky start, courtesy of some electronic potholes that caused Lucinda to throw up her hands and lament, “I hate technology!”
She regained control with Drunken Angel and Tears of Joy. The evening included many of her better known songs, such as Are You Alright, I Lost It, Changed the Locks, Unsuffer Me, Essence, Righteously, Honey Bee and Joy.
Lucinda also sang some tracks from a double album that’s due in September. Compassion breaks new ground for the 61-year-old Louisianan, adapting lyrics by her father, the poet Miller Williams.
Protection is a down-and-dirty rocker. And Cold Day in Hell… well, we can see the title of the Christmas CD taking shape.
For good measure, Lucinda administered a dose of bleakness from the Boss, Factory.What kept all this world weariness from driving everyone to the suicide hotline was the execution.
Lucinda’s muscular three-piece band infused tales of despair with fire and life.
Drummer Butch Norton, bassist David Sutton, and especially, former Wallflowers guitarist Stuart Mathis, were sonic treats. Stuart daubed Unsuffer Me in swaths of howling, haunting, heavy splendor.
It’s impossible to wallow for long with these guys; Lucinda soared with them on I Lost It and the scorching finale, Neil Young’s Rockin’ in the Free World.
Lucinda’s fans know that her albums have long gestations, so look for her holiday sampler around 2022.
In the meantime, we’ll proceed with the other half of our subversive mission: Goosing the The Osmonds to record a Lucinda Williams tribute CD.
