Have I mentioned how jealous I am of you guys who are getting to go to these shows???
Looks like a great setlist and a great time!@paul_from_losangeles wrote:
In my thread of April 12, I wrote: “There is an extremely strict music curfew at 10:30 PM, with plugs being pulled on famous performers. “
On August 18, Lucinda joined the select club of having the plugs pulled. At precisely 10:30, just as Lucinda was finishing Blessed, the house lights came on, and the stage power was killed. A dramatic conclusion to a great evening of music.
18. Blessed (almost completed, then power killed)
Let’s just add a little friendly sarcasm to this curfew.[attachment=1:3jt42smh]MtnWinery.png[/attachment:3jt42smh][attachment=0:3jt42smh]Unplugged August 18, 2010.jpg[/attachment:3jt42smh]
Seriously, all the reports and photos were outstanding.
Thanks.
lwjI always love seeing Lucinda, and I loved this show, too. Took my son and he got into some of the songs. I enjoyed the news ones (almost) as well as the old ones. Looking forward to the new album coming out.
Hadn’t seen her in a few years, though, so I had a few surprises. The guitarist, Val McCallum, was good and all. He had two fine solos on “Out of Touch.” I’m sorry, though: I miss Doug Pettibone. I think he was better on songs like “Righteously” and “Honeybee.” Just curious: what happened? I checked his web site and it doesn’t seem to have been updated in a year.
(I was *Not* the person who yelled out, though. Uncool, dude.)
And Lucinda wears glasses now? Doesn’t matter, she’ll always be beautiful to me.

Great pictures! The place looks nice. Was the place full?
VERY nice. And yeah, it filled up by the time Lu took stage. The one crowd shot I took with all the empty seats was from before Robert Earl Keen played.

Oh my goodness, has anyone else seen the terrible news about what happened at last night’s (Thursday’s) Mountain Winery Show featuring The Swell Season? Apparently a man jumped onto the stage to his death.

How sad that he was so troubled….how upsetting that must have been for the band and everyone there.
Yikes. Can you imagine if this happened during Lu’s show? Btw, The Swell Season features Glan Hansard and the girl with whom he did the movie “Once”, a great movie.
Here is the story from the San Jose paper:

how lucinda reacted towards the power outage?
She just kind of shrugged her shoulders & waved to the crowd as she & the band (also waving) walked off, as if to say, “Oh well, I guess that’s it. What can i do?”
After the show, she said that they had intended to play 3 songs for the encore but, when they briefly left the stage after the main set, they were told they had only 5 minutes left before a “hard stop.” So, they hustled back on stage & launched into “Blessed”. She did restart a verse that she said she messed up near the end; otherwise, she would have probably gotten the song in under the wire.

“Hard stop” indeed, TnT: lights up, power cut–there were still words to go, confirmed later–though there were a lot of words period, might not have made it anyway since the song was started in the 10:25-10:26 area. I forgot to comment on this, the seventh of the 12 newbies: great parallelism and emphatic delivery, “We were blessed” being the key phrase. Let’s just say said blessings came, for purposes of this song, not from the upper crust elements of society, but elsewhere. And yes, it’s one syllable.
