Oh, I just had an inkling this would happen if he was in town! Enjoy tonight and thanks for the report!
The music critic live tweeting the show mentioned he would have a review up today. I’ll post if I catch it.

“And she even covered burning rock, playing electric guitar on “Out of Touch” and the Hendrix-blues song “Unsuffer Me,” on which her phrasing had obvious Dylan overtones.
But that was fine. If there ever was an artist who is authentically carrying on the legacy of Guthrie and Dylan, it’s Williams. The title track of her new disc is the female, older version of Dylan’s “Desolation Row,” with verse after verse bringing her close to the societal Apocalypse. She performed it alone and acoustic, and got huge applause afterward.”

Remarks from Tom:
Well that was a great way to start the tour.
Break in some more of the new songs. Check.
Awesome Philly crowd. Check.
No major first night technical problems. Check.
There were many highlights right from the beginning. Lu mentioned that she thought it was the best version of Something About What Happens in a while. People Talkin’ was really good. Woody Guthrie’s Ain’t Got No Home In This World Anymore was done with the lost Ol’ Man Trump verse, which she decided to sing twice for emphasis. And of course with Lu did a great job of explaining the history of the lost verse. Our good friend and homeboy, Amos Lee sounded great as always on Little Angel Little Brother. Of the new songs making their live debuts, Doors Of Heaven really hit a groove and went over nicely-that one is only going to get better. Lu did kind of forget the phrasing on I Know All About but she basically made up a new one and rolled with it.
There could be worse places to start a tour than Philly -especially with the weather as great as it was. And we have to give a shout out the Black Sheep -that is our kind of neighborhood pub.
All in all an excellent first night.
