Awesome report Vivian! Good to see you and your friend Tess, and Roger at the show. Totally agree about Lu’s voice. I think that’s the best she’s sounded since I started following her in 2011.
Thanks so much for the report, Vivian!
So great to hear.. Sorry I had to cancel this one, but can’t wait for Austin.Great work, Viv. I forgot to mention in my Salt Lake report that The Book had been usurped by electronic-monitor lyrics. Well, it seemingly still exists, for the sign language interpreters seemed to be using it during her set!
Now that I’m back home and in a bit more of a reflective mood (as opposed to a post-concert high – only figuratively tho), I don’t want to overlook the magnitude of what Lu has been through and how brave she is. Her newfound physical changes are noticeable to those of us who know her well, and we all grasp how hard she is working to recover. Many people would retreat in the face of limitations, but she is out there in front of thousands, getting it done and adjusting. She’s not standing up behind an electric guitar at the moment, but she is standing up. She has my respect, anew. Think of the challenges the road must pose at this point — those tour bus steps are hard to negotiate in the best of times. And we should also acknowledge the crew, band, etc. who have all rallied around her and helped lift her up and make it all happen. Like the girl selling roses from Blessed, Lu is showing us how to live.
