West Words, thanks for the recap. I was also in attendance, was also there when Tim Easton opened for Lu & D Pettibone. Have never seen her completely solo, it was very cool, didn’t expect a solo Joy to be so powerful (altho I could hear I wasn’t the only audience member quietly adding the guitar lines of Kenny Vaughn/JJackcon/DPettibone 😆 ). Very attentive crowd, many were in advanced stages of middle age, maybe a little too quiet for a Saturday night, didn’t pick up much edginess in mid-balcony.
A couple additions to your notes:
in one of her several rants on political correctness, she said she made it clear to the Boston reporter she was QUOTING Hank Williams but the article messed that up & it appeared politically incorrect.In the intro to Joy she referred to the ‘small monarchy’ and to John ‘tan man’ Bonehead who was off golfing in Florida at an undisclosed location during the Wisconsin uprising. Yeah you right!
I went to Bloomington show on Friday night and this show as well. Back to back nights. The one thing I truly love are the change in setlists, not a song or two, but MANY changes to the setlist. So cool. I loved hearing “Port Arthur” as I heard it the night she sang it for the first time at the Joplin tribute. Her voice was buttery smooth. I’m very happy I was able to catch her solo
BTW…Lu looked amazing. She was dressed in a black/white/blue checked shirt, leather jacket, jeans, studded belt, black boots. I hope I look as hip as she does when I turn 58, and that’s just around the corner for me.

The set lists have been outstanding Lafayette. Glad to see Blue on this one.
What a road trip you guys must have had.
Did the boys help out or hinder kitchen duties at the Chez Lafayette B&B ?
Ok, who bought this gig poster for $25. bucks at Stuart’s Opera House ? A wild guess would be tntracy.

I did! I did! With a pricedrop of $5, I purchased my first letterpress poster. The woodblock was on display as well. Very cool. I should have taken a photo of the woodblock.
I got a poster as well, thanks to Lafayette who picked one up for me after the show. I had made a comment before the show I definitely wanted to get one afterwards, but then forgot…

Nice seeing West Words, lafayette, and tntracy again in Nelsonville: Thanks to them and others for this stream. Just a few added things:
Kudos to the setlist compiler
for the “Pearl” pair, i.e., “Memphis Pearl” in slot four and “Port Arthur” about Janis-Pearl three songs later. Also, I believe we can call the Loretta cover back-back with “Well Well Well” a little Appalachian subset in middle of the proceedings: The line “if you hang around trash. . .” got quite a rise from the fans in the north of this region.West Words captured the political stuff well; at one point Lu berated political correctness and manipulation of gender pronouns; she couldn’t remember the queen city of pc to disparage it by name, but Northampton, I fear she meant YOU.
Later Lu took a more conventional liberal stance, Wisconsin doings etc., and I believe “f_____ sexist pigs” came out of her mouth at that point. Contradiction? Maybe, but Lu’s large, she contains multitudes, etc etc

It’s the little things… 😀
I might also add she is looking radiant. Younger than her 58 years.

Stoger, it was great seeing you, TNT, & WW AND sharing a Lu show(s) all at the same time.
