    Plan to Marry for sure, right? And the Robert Johnson and Skip James covers? šŸ˜•

    Maybe the James cover was a tour debut, but the Johnson wasn’t. I’m pretty sure “Like a Rose” deserves the red designation befitting the final word of its title: geez, haven’t heard that one in ages. Hellfire, maybe there really will be FOUR encores one night in Nash–it’s getting close to that plateau. So much for a “tired” Lu walking on in Cleveland: eee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    Thank you all once again, what a wonderful set list…..

    West Memphis was my favourite on first hearing the new album, and I have not lost any love for it since.

    But my love for When I Look At The World just grows and grows overtime,
    what a great one two that and Lake Charles must have been.

    Sounds like Lucinda and the band are on top form, please tell us we can get the chance to see and hear this sometime soon.

    Best tweet to sum up this show:

    There’s a good chance #LucindaWilliams isn’t going home tonight. @RoyalOakMusic šŸ˜†

    From Tom:
    “Well this was a night for the books. Given that this was the fourth night of four, when we usually limit Lu to three in a row, just made it all that much more unlikely. At the last minute Lu added a couple songs that were special requests so the set was already a little longer than normal. But once again an incredible audience right from the beginning made the night, and it didn’t seem like it was going to end. It’s been a long time since Lu’s done a third encore, but some rare nights just happen that way. After the second encore Lu was part way down the backstage steps but no one was leaving and they were being very vociferous. At that point there was only one song left in the book (Hard Time Killin’ Floor Blues) and no time to huddle to figure out what to do. At the end of Hard Time Killin Floor, Lu came over to the side of the stage and asked her guitar tech Justin to grab Hot Blood out of the master books -after a couple of frantic minutes he found it while the band was alreadt starting it. As the final notes of Hot Blood, the 27th song of this epic show, were fading out Lu started to wave and walk off the stage, but not before grabbing David Sutton’s mic laughing and saying ā€œLucinda Williams has left the buildingā€.
    Time for a needed day off.

    4 more songs made their tour debut, bringing the count to 69. (I did subtract one as someone pointed out that This Old Heartache was played in Lexington. “
