nice setlist, but i’m *worried* about the minimum prevalence of car wheels songs on the latest ones.
Thanks for responding, punch drunk. Yeah, three songs in, it looked like a promising night for the Car Wheels album. Still, Victoria was one of the best. . . .
Hey stoger, glad to see your great reports again.
Are you in for the long haul on this tour thru July ?
Tell me, I hope you had time in Victoria to partake in afternoon tea at the magnificant Fairmont Empress Hotel.
So far, you are really bumping into some nice people =Chuck P. & Stephanie F., and an old girl friend of Butch’s.lwj
Video of Hard Time Killing Floor Blues.
Wow, Blake is really bring to the stage some very innovative guitar work.

Well, a man who debarks from a ferry at a quarter after six, still with customs to clear and a 7:30 ticket time on a Lucinda show sans opening act, is not likely to dawdle over tea–however storied the serving site. I mean, I’m as much an Anglophiliac as the next guy, but this was not on my Victoria itinerary for this visit. Maybe in future.
can i go off topic real quick?
did any of you get the chance to visit vancouver? it’s nearby, no? father says it’s the 3rd most beautiful ciy he’s ever been to, and judging by the first two i would say he has fantastic taste in cities.
so, is it wonderful?

can’t let go is played a lot and, uh, it’s a cover (not that there’s anything wrong with that, to quote seinfeld), and joy is ALWAYS present so it became invisible to my eyes, so my bizarre math says we’ve got just 01 car wheels song there. at least it’s the best one. 🙂
ps: i love both CLG and especially joy.
As always, many thanks, oh weary road warrior, for all the reports. This looked (and sounded) like a fine show, indeed.
I thought it took about 4 songs for Lucinda and the band to get into it. And it took the sound techs about that long to get the sound and Lucinda’s voice dialed in. I also thought that Blake Mill’s obtuse guitar playing killed the first few songs; the guy proved to be an amazing guitar player and I soon came to really like him; some of his solos really did paste one to their seat – “sonic wallpaper” as the newspaper review put it, but sometimes a bit too much off-key noodling. Really liked the bass player too, some real innovative stuff. All in all a very enjoyable evening.
