    I’m about 3-4 hrs. away from several upcoming shows, and would love to be at the best venue to see her show…partly b/c my 51st birthday is around then…just saw her in ATL, but treating myself to another one. The cities are Charleston, Knoxville, Asheville, Charlotte, Nashville, so I have too many choices[for a Libra, anyway! 😉 ]. Saw her in Nashville at the Ryman in 2004 w/Prez [yes, Prez] Gore in attendance….loved it, of course. Good sound is the primo determiner, followed by atmosphere, lights, size etc. Any help with narrowing down my choices would be appreciated.

    Impossible to say for sure but I would think that a Saturday night in Nashville right after the new record comes out might be a good bet. I’ve heard that the War Memorial is a beautiful place. It is non-seated venue if you prefer that.

    Thanks for the quick reply. But, I am mobility-impaired: I’ve had to use a cane since an MVA; I sometimes use a wheelchair depending on ease of access. Must admit, I got great positioning at Atlanta Botanical with the wheelchair, but most places I can get to with a cane. Obviously, I don’t stand well for long periods. Does that mean I should scratch the Nashville show off my list? ❓
    [Know I should’ve remembered to mentioned this issue in my first post. I prefer to think of myself as invincible. 🙄 Yet, I am getting older, a wee more forgetful! 😉 ]

    That might make Nashville more difficult -but PM me when you decide and if we can– because sometimes it depends on the venue – we will make sure you are taken care of. Just give me at least 24 hrs notice.

    the Knoxville Tennessee Theatre is absolutely beautiful. I’m just afraid most people will be sitting instead of standing and rocking with Lucinda..

    I could use some help too, flying in from Australia to NYC mid Sept and out on Oct 2 so I miss Lucinda in NYC… what is the best place to go from there to see her around 9/26 onwards? Waited 18 years for this…any advice?

    Given that your time frame is so limited it looks like you will need to see a show in the Carolinas. I would suggest seeing her in Raleigh, NC. Those tickets go on sale Friday Aug. 29 so you still have a chance to get a good seat. It’s a pretty long cab ride from the RDU airport to the venue, maybe you could rent a car from the airport…….and it seems way too far to drive from NYC

    Thanks to all for helping me decide. At this point, we’ll probably see her in Knoxville….3.5 hrs. Not a bad drive, and the venue does look nice. We will be rockin’ for sure, knoxville newbie 😉 . K
