    I’m a new fan and I’m planning on making this show my first lucinda concert. I was just wondering what to expect as far as the setlist and if anybody has been to riviera theatre. Thanks, the help would be greatly appreciated.

    As far as the setlist, you can poke through threads here with setlists from this summer to get a pretty good idea. She doesn’t seem to vary her setlists too much from night to night, though she doesn’t play the exact some songs generally either. I’ve seen her three times now at the Riviera, and it’s a pretty nice place to catch a show. It’ll be GA, standing room only on the floor; I think there are seats in the balcony. It’s a pretty small club, so any place you end up you won’t be too far from the stage. If you’re like me, you’ll want to get right up front to the edge of the stage, just a few feet from Lucinda as she sings and plays. 🙂 To do that, you’ll want to line up early…anywhere from mid- to late-afternoon depending on when other fans show up.

    I’d say I’ll see you at the show, but I’m waiting/hoping for more news on if she’s going to do a second night there on the 25th. A Saturday show fits into my schedule much better, and pending announcement of Bob Dylan’s fall schedule it looks like I may only do one Lucinda show. Talk about tough choices…

    Thanks for the info. A saturday show would work alot better for me too, and I’m waiting to hear on the Bob dates as well. I’ve seen him about 8 times.

    The setlists should be somewhat different than most of the summer shows. Playing outdoor festivals is different than your indoor headlining tour.

    Also -there will be no second show in Chicago. The 25th will be at the Orpheum in Madison.

    My ex and I will be there tonight. We both live in Chicago, though. Super excited about the show. This will be my 4th time seeing her, first at the Riviera.

    I hope she puts on a nice long setlist and isn’t too worn out from last night! I missed the webcast because of work.

    Definitely excited to hear Buick 6 open the set, too.

    My first show too!

    What time do you think it will start? The 7:30 time on the ticket seems awfully early.

    Also, is it possible to get an autograph?

    Dunno how I missed Inside Job’s response announcing the Madison show last month, but no worries, I got my ticket for that one. I’d love to do Chicago too, but it’s just too far to drive for one show and I couldn’t get there in time to get a good spot in front of the stage anyway. I’ve still got a smile on my face from last night’s webcast, though, and I’m looking forward to tomorrow. Have fun at tonight’s show, all that are going!

    Disco Stu,

    Glad to hear you enjoyed the show. I totaly did, except maybe for the repeated breakdowns on Jail House Tears. Not sure what was going on there. Maybe it would have gone off better if Elvis Costello had been there to sing the male part.

    Yeah, I thought it was really solid. I just looked at the setlist stoger posted from the Chicago show, and it’s about what I suspected. I sincerely hope she’ll play I Just Wanted To See You So Bad again tomorrow, and it would be great if she threw in Something About What Happens When We Talk, too (a favorite of my girlfriend’s). I’ll be really disappointed if I missed my chance to see Circles and X’s, too, but I’ll have to wait and see. I’d take tonight’s setlist in Madison, no question. In any case, that webcast was a great experience.
