The free makeup show preview as reported by the Chicago Tribune with a few more details some of which already covered by FF members samishseaMike and tonyg in another thread.
Venue capacity is about 250 approximating Lu’s 2 night stand at the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis.
Certainly some lucky fans last night who followed Facebook.http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-lucinda-williams-plays-makeup-show-after-taste-cancellation-20140712,0,5748440.story?track=rss

(Neil Young cover)Looks like a good time at a great place at Reggies …
Lots of fun watching the impromptu show being put together via FaceBook and Twitter..
Perhaps “Reggies” just earned regular stop status in the windy city…Very few other performers, band members and managers would work so hard at making sure “the show goes on” than Lucinda, the band and Tom.
Bravo!Wow that’s exciting. Was Doug up there after all? South State St. is the area of several of the fabled blues clubs, no? I too commend “management” for scrambling to salvage the visit to the Windy City, and for Forum members who transferred the news from Facebook and Twitter.
Lucinda (and management) never cease to amaze.
ALSO, ya gotta love social media!
On a side note, I was in Somerset, KY at a music festival, and my brother texted me telling me about the cancellation. He had plans on attending the Taste to see Lu. I did a quick check in the forum and saw tonyg’s post about the impromptu show, texted my brother the info, with him replying they had just made dinner plans with friends, and the venue was 40 minutes on the other side of town and he didn’t think they could make it in time. It really would have been cool had he been able to make the show. Meanwhile, tonight, he’s at City Winery seeing the Heartless Bastards for his birthday. He LOVES Erika and has had tickets for weeks.
Rock on, Lu!
Lu does this impromptu gig using borrowed equipment from the Hard Rock Hotel and Reggies.

Perhaps Val M?
I can say with certitude it was not Stuart M and it doesn’t look like Doug P either. I found a photo on instagram, but couldn’t copy or save the photo to my hard drive as a .jpeg.
Here is the instagram link, not sure it will open even if one has an instagram account, however, I took a photo of the instagram shot with my phone, sending it to my email, and then uploading to my photobucket account. There is more than one way to skin a cat. 😛 …and I would bet there is a simpler method, but this works for me.
I knew he was in town from his facebook post, this just doesn’t look like him. Maybe the hair is longer?…
Anyway, thanks for confirming!
He has been wearing his hair a tad difererently of late. Might be a shadow or 2 involved there as well.
Another review, this time from WXRT FM

I You tubed Doug and agree with tonyg’s hair style comment, so here we go.
1. A flashback to Woodstock 1999 with Jewel, song is “Race Car Driver” in front of a “small” audience.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etd27ouejCo3. And the best to view, a full 1/2 hour interview with Doug on June 7, 2014 in the Netherlands.(Lots and lots of Lu references including the Love Band.)

Good stuff LWj. I’m sure you noticed Steve Poltz on the other guitar and Brady Blade on drums with Jewel. You may not have noticed I was in amongst the 50 people or so at the Top Tune show. Taras P. is doing Top Tune this month.
