Very much looking forward to them and catching up to the tour in SF!From Tom:
I think the motor was hitting on all cylinders on the second sold out night at the Belly Up. We added a couple songs that hadn’t done as much lately (Everything Has Changed, Stand Right) and after the show Lu and the band were saying how great they sounded and how we need to do them more. Right now we have a list of about 30 Lu songs that we don’t get to do enough. But playing multiple nights in one spot allows us to do more of those as we like every night to be different. Sometimes we put songs together in the setlist that fit together lyrically (or musically) and sometimes random songs end up together and really fit. Tonight, Everything Has Changed, especially with its line “the highways don’t look the same, fit magically with The Ghosts Of Highway 20.
Some nights everything just works.
