It would be awesome to see an official release of some of this stuff IMO.
yes at most of the ‘Jam Band’ concerts and festivals, they always sell CD’s of the show; either within a few minutes or via email. I’d kill (just kidding) to have copies of the LuWi shows I’ve been at.
I called the afternoon host (and music director) on WNKU 89.7 while he was on the air, in regards to the Cincinnati (Covington) show at Madison Theater. I told him Lu was coming to town but tickets weren’t on sale yet, however show was posted on her website. I didn’t have the next sentence out of my mouth when he checked Lu’s site, said yep I see it, that’s all I need, I’m going to talk about it on the air. The next song he played (and typically he doesn’t stray from his preplanned playlist for the day) was “Lake Charles.” He introduced the song by giving big props to her coming to an intimate venue like the Madison, etc. etc. THEN, he followed up with “Unsuffer Me” and talked more about the show after that song played and said he would let everyone know when tickets would be available.
I did call Madison Theater, according to person I spoke to, tickets for this show will be available April 30. Set up will be for 1,300.

Cool – thanks for doing the leg work, Lafayette…

Thanks for posting the tenative May/June 2009 tour. I totally missed out on the Texas tour this past Feb., (I live between Dallas and Houston) But, I may be able to fly to Phoenix or Milwaukee for those concerts, since I have family in both towns……good excuse to go! I’m a new fan, Got to see Lu in concert in northern WI last summer! Thanks again!
I just got a pollstar.com notification e-mail proclaiming Lu playing Green Bay, WI (the venue listed is Oneida Bingo & Casino) on Sunday, June 7th.
That tightens up a bit the free dates prior to Covington for the “two special shows” in Chicago that Tom said were a possibility. Yet and still, the 8th & 9th are still open… (*crosses fingers & toes*)

tnt… I received same pollstar notification and was thinking along those same lines! That would be very tuff schedule as she is in Iowa the night before Wisconsin, then drop down to Chi town and on to Cincy? Oh, and let’s not forget, on to Bonnaroo, too.

Yes, tough in the sense that that would be 5 shows over 5 nights (assuming 2 in Chicago), but it still works geographically – Council Bluffs, IA to Green Bay, WI is 9 1/2 hour drive, Green Bay to Chicago is only 3 1/2 hours, and Chicago to Covington, KY is about 5 hours.
Even though the WI show is not listed here at lucindawilliams.com, High Road Touring is listing it. No Chicago shows as of yet, however…

Sounds like a certain Georgian has been map-questing: thanks for the precision of these drive times, and we all know “English” and his stable of mounts can get them there in good time. Here’s hoping your personal atlas is at stake on some of these routes, Tom, and we’ll see you at a few.

Google Maps actually, stoger, but six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Yes, I am anxious to attend those 2 “special” Chicago shows Tom mentioned as a possibility. Assuming they come to fruition, our plan is to drive to Chicago to attend them both, then pick up the Covington show on the way back home. So, hopefully, all will work out & English & Co. will actually be driving the hypothetical itinerary I mapped out above. 😉

The previous notes presume the Chicago shows will occur before Covington. It might seem just as likely for the Chicago shows to occur after Bonnaroo. There’s 3 weeks between Bonnaroo and Europe; plenty of time for Chicago, and a return home to California, before departing for Roskilde. I’m just speculating; I have no factual knowledge.
Also, Lafayette’s earlier note indicated Madison Theater tickets on sale April 30. Actually, the Madison Theater website is showing April 3, this Friday, with “Club Seating; Standing only on the main floor”. On another screen, the Madison does state “The balcony always has seating regardless of the main floor set-up”.

True enough – although, in that case it would be impossible for us to go to both the Chicago shows & Covington in the same trip – so I am hoping for the other scenario. If Chicago does come after Bonnaroo, then we would almost definitely have to go to Chicago only, forgoing a separate trip to Covington.

Oh, OK – thanks for the update, Paul. I suppose in light of the above schedule uncertainties, I will probably have to go ahead and buy tickets to Covington and then, if & when Chicago turns out to be after Bonnaroo, sell them here or on eBay…

Thank you for checking the site and correcting my snafu! I misunderstood April 3 as 30. BIG difference, eh? I will forward information to the radio station. There are links to post to facebook and myspace for this show as well.
Tom, I suppose you will be deciding on Covington before Friday?
Yes I see that just this afternoon the Madison has posted a 4/3 date for the tickets to go on sale. I’m not planning on paying the Ticketblaster prices since I can just drive down and pick them up from the Theater, probably Saturday afternoon. If anyone wants me to pick them up a few send me a PM on how many and an address. Lafayette, we’ll have to pick a place to meet before the show. I’m partial to Dee Felice or Chez Norah’s with their rooftop river view seating which will be great in June, or maybe Mike Fink’s barge on the river. Those would be a half mile walk to the Madison Theater though. The Backstage Cafe is right next door but the food isn’t as good.
