There are +10,000 views to this thread!!! WOW!
I think that must be due to some “hiccup” with the forum software. The forum was down for a time late last night – perhaps it happened then…

I thought it would be hard to top the first night at the BlueDoor, boy was I wrong.
My wife and I got there early (about 5ish) and got in line around 6. Doors opened around 7:15 and
we got seats up front by the blue door (pun intended) that lucinda would come in and out of.The opening act was John Fullbright. I don’t know a whole lot about him. I believe he is a local singer/songwriter. I enjoyed his set more than Jay Nash the night before. He sang Charlie Louvin’s song “I Don’t Feel Like Dancing” and covered Roy Orbisons “Crying”. Both very good!
Lucinda took the stage about 9:15. I didn’t write down the songs last night, I was trying to get get photos instead. 😀 I will try to post the songs I remember. If anyone has the order please post.
People Talkin’ – (BigDunc’s request!)
Greenville
Memphis Pearl – (WOO HOO! My request! One Of my FAVORITES!)
Bus To Baton Rouge – (Another request! I have never heard live. I’m in heaven at this point. lol)The order gets blurry after this point so I’ll post what I can:
Passionate Kisses
Something Happens When We Talk
Circles and X’s
Stop Breaking Down – (Robert Johnson Cover)
Kiss Like Your Kiss – (I wasn’t too much of a fan of this song until I heard this version tonight. WOW)
Jailhouse Tears
Buttercup
Pineola
Can’t Let Go
Drunken Angel
Fruits of My Labor
I Don’t Know How You Are Livin’
Ugly Truth
Hard Time Killing Floor Blues – (Skip James Cover)
Honey Beeencore:
Mama, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys (FANTASTIC! Great sing along by audience)
Port Arthur – (Love this song!)
JoySuch a good series of shows. Thanks Lucinda, Tom and Greg Johnson at the BlueDoor for making these shows happen. It was a great way to end the first leg of the tour.
Nice set list. “Bus To Baton Rouge” is one of my personal favorites, and one of the 4 or 5 songs that always get me “right here”…

Wow, “Circles & X’s”–next best thing to “If Wishes Were Horses,” no? And the title of that last one is “Port Arthur,” just to establish the Janis Joplin hometown tie-in. Still, great reports big d and parker, glad you had this Okie pleasure two nights running.
One pet peeve of mine is when the audience starts shouting songs for the performer to sing.
A bigger pet peeve is when they shout out the wrong songs. lolSomeone yelled out “Steel Wheels” during the show. I’m sure she meant “Car Wheels” but still funny. 😛

Hey, “Steel Wheels”, “Car Wheels”, whatever. I can see how easily someone could get Lu confused with The Rolling Stones… 😆

First night review with Jay Nash at the Blue Door.
from i on Oklahoma Magazine with pics.
The Blue doors are right behind Lu on the stage.http://www.ionokmag.com/entertainment/music-legend-performs/

BIG peeve of mine, too, and especially when I used to do a lot of taping. One night (Neil Young – Chicago 1999) when I used to tape a lot I had a “Woohoooer” one row in front of me and a stanger leaning over asking questions into my ear, which was convieniently (sp?) 4″ from my mics. I think I only listened to that show one time. 😥 But, still, I am of age and have been to enough shows that I know that the artist has a setlist and they are going to stick to it 95% of the time w/ maybe the encore varying depending on the audience and the vibe of the show.
One of my all-time favorite Neil shows, Toronto 01-15-1973, includes a bit where Neil says (paraphrased) “Yeah, we know all those songs. We’ve got it all planned out. This is one of the tighest acts to come out of Hollywood.”

That is frustrating. Someone yelled out “SING JOY!” Do they really think she won’t sing that song?
As Steve Earle once said a propos of “Copperhead R” shout-outs, “do you think we’d come all this way and NOT do that one?” Wish I could think of some “Steel Wheels” equivalents, believe I posted an example of that at the unfortunately fanned Minglewood Hall Memphis show couple of years back. And Reno’s audience did the same once: Oh well.

Had some time to kill DreamingMan.-Just for the memories.
A little research on your favorite from Maple Leaf Gardens.
“Quote”
Neil Young – 73.Jan.15 with the Stray Gators Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 20tracks 2CDr (The complete version, not “Lonely Weekend”)
Lonely Weekend [2CD]. An excellent audience recording from Jan 15, 1973 at the Maple Leaf Garden in Toronto. Young was on the road trying to shake away the glam of Heart Of Gold with some new rawer songs like L.A., Journey Through The Past, Borrowed Tune, New Mama, Alabama, Don’t Be Denied, Lookout Joe and the still unreleased Say You Will. This is a bootleg that has been treed. With Stray Gators.
End Quote”Let’s throw in some pics and let’s hope the Moderator doesn’t curse me for putting this in The Blue Door rather than other artists. 😆
