This was my third time seeing Lucinda and a really good show overall. Even though I got there a little later than I was hoping I was able to get on the rail far house right, which worked out perfect because Rialto had setup some monitors on the sides of the stages helping with the sound quality issues that sometimes occur near the front.

The show started of strong with the new Buick 6, for all those reading the negative reviews about the new band all I can say is reserve judgment until you see them. They are different then they were with Doug but they are still a great band and Eric does a great job and most importantly is seeming to fit in with the band and have a lot of fun. The band is a little less country/blues and a little more psychedelic/surfer but the still get down on all the old tunes too.

There were some issues with “Metal Firecracker” due to a misread capo position, but once they figured it out the song worked fine. “Steal Your Love” was a major highlight for me, it was the first time I’ve seen it live and had a really cool vibe. “Side Of The Road” was another highlight for me and it worked really well with just acoustic and electric guitar.

At some point around “Little Rock Star” a women 7 or 8 people to the left of me passed out or something. Her boyfriend/husband didn’t want to leave and tried propping her up for a few songs which distracted Lucinda during the beginning of “Little Rock Star” prompting her asking if everyone was alright. Eventually, during “Essence”, the man decided that he had to get off the rail and took his sleeping girlfriend with him. Once they were gone Lucinda commented it was nice to see everybody in front was alive and it was very distracting to see this women and it caused a few slip ups. See included some hilarious mime of the women being propped up and falling back down and concluded she should be more of a bitch and called the man out right away. She used her anger from this incident to create an exceptionally angry “Come On” which was when the show started to really get rocking. Every song after this point was as good as it gets. Unfortunately, as always as always at Rialto the crowd rushed out the doors after the first encore meaning “Angel” was scratched.

After the show I was lucky enough to get Eric’s setlist, which I have included. When I got it the security guy told me if I sold it in the parking lot I could probably get 50$ for it, but I would never do that.

Overall great show and I am excited to see her again tonight in Phoenix. I am really hoping to get “Can’t Let Go” and maybe “Angel” if the crowd sticks around tonight, but I am happy with anything.

P.S. sorry if this is a bit long 🙂
