1 Motherless Children
2 Stop Breakin’ Down
3 Disgusted [with a late arriving rhythm section]
4 Ramblin’ on My Mind [sans a hastily departing rhythm section]
5 Jambalya [with much talk about the Jackson, MS civil rights lawyer and one of his clients who encouraged her first record, further talk about another Folkways label musician]
6 Lafayette [abandoned after the third false start]
6a Happy Woman Blues [before which Lu bemoans not being able to park the tour buses right outside the venue–“You know Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings wouldn’t play here for ten years because of that”–also, the crew scrambles to activate the on-stage electric fan per Lu’s demand]
7 Sharp Cutting Wings [preceded by “I suck”]
8 Howlin’ at Midnight [with Chet on banjo: Lu apologizes that tonight is so “loose”]
[there follows a long interlude in which Lu does not play “One Night Stand”–I’m later told it’s because there are no lyrics for it in THE BOOK–but instead tells a story about the porn film “American Girls in Heat Part II” which ripped off the song and used it, thanks to her having signed over rights on this album to a devious music industry guy: she’s tried and tried to locate a print of the film, but. . .]
9 Passionate Kisses
10 Side of the Road
11 The Night’s Too Long
[long interlude here wherein Lu reflects on the MC Carpenters and P Lovelesses of the world, as opposed to the generalized fickleness of the Nashville country music industry]
12 Big Red Sun Blues
13 I Just Wanted to See You So Bad
14 Crescent City
15 Factory Blues [technically off format of tonight’s set, but Lu and band nail it, with a nod to Joanne Kelly and to the Groundhogs for turning her onto it years ago: no one is sure who wrote it, and Lu challenges the audience to research that]
16 Changed the Locks{15 or so minute interlude}
17 Nothing in Ramblin’
18 Can’t Let Go
19 Metal Firecracker
20 Are You Down
21 Bus to Baton Rouge
22 Ventura [slight false start, but Lu is laughing off such things by this point]
23 Little Rock Star
24 I Live My Life
25 Honeybee
26 Joy[typical time lapse before encore]
27 Sundays [per earlier shout-out/oh my god/she even sings her own background vocals in a different key, a la the bonus track on self-titled record]
28 It’s a Long Way to the TopSo should I divvy up the research duties and assign half the Forum regulars to research “Factory Blues” composition, half to ferret (as opposed to fetter) out the obscure 80’s porn film? Naw, I’m sure Tom Tracy’s on both cases by now. Please embellish people: I’ll leave my report right there. A night to remember. . .
Uuuaaauuuu!!!! Great and large set-list!!!!! 😀 😮 😀
This was the first time (that I am aware of) that Lu publicly performed “I’m Happy I Found You”. This is the Hank Williams “Lost Lyrics” song that Lu wrote the music for & recorded for Bob Dylan’s Hank Williams Lost Lyrics album that has been discussed here in the forum before. Prior to playing it, Lu mentioned that she still was not sure when the CD would be released.
Who can explain me more details about this song???
Other than of course the show, the wedding ceremony itself, being there with Lu & Tom to celebrate, and seeing old friends & Lu fans and meeting new ones, the other highlights of the evening for me were meeting and chatting with Anne McCue, Erika Wennerstrom & Bryson Jones. Bryson told a great story (not about Lu) the next morning in Starbucks to stoger and myself that probably shouldn’t be repeated here… 😳
Maybe it’s time to explain the Bryson Jones great story. 😮 By the way, who is Bryson Jones? 😳

That’s my right arm wrist watch to the left of the image!!! 😆 😆 😆
I’d love to be with you in NYC but it will not be able to be this time… 😥
You’re beating with the smilies!!! 😆
Have a good time my friend and your wife too… 8)
My only complaint about it, which had nothing to do with the performance, is the number of people who insist upon having long conversations during the show at the top of their lungs to compete with the volume of the music. If you want to chit chat, move to the back of the venue, or don’t go and save the money. I for one hate spending the money to listen to people other than the performer.[/quote]
totally agree with you!!!

Tom
P.S. Mi amigo, the English word for “Verano” is “Summer”, not “Nummer”…
I know, I know my dear friend but I mean the number of the magazine. August number then…in summer, that’s right… 🙄
This is one of the oldest music magazines in Spain, at least 35 years older in the market. Many music fans we have bought over the years. I had the opportunity to write the story of the concerts in Zaragoza, Madrid and Barcelona in the nummer from August.
I give it this nummer to Lucinda and Tom at Saturday afternoon when I findet them at the restaurant from Grave 601. Of course there are photos from this speciall moment.Amazing afternoon here at home, after my specially holidays, making a collection of all youtube’s I’m finding. 😀 😀 😀
After the return from Minneapolis landed in Santiago de Compostela to continue the holiday in our country house…without internet connection…and after having slept fifteen hours straight, we are in a bar, sipping coffee, and reading all the messages from all people. When we return to Barcelona we will answer to your dear words.
Big hugs for you all and many kisses too!!!

Any interest in a pre-show forum-member beverage? It would be nice to meet a few of the fine folks on this forum. There are plenty of places – let me know…
Definitely! Stoger & I (and perhaps one or two other folks from the Friendly Forum) are planning on having a drink somewhere close by where we can keep an eye on the will call window as that is where we have to pick up our tickets. Our goal is to get in the queue as early as need be so as to get inside as soon as possible to hopefully claim a spot close to the stage. Looking at maps, etc. of the neighborhood, we are thinking that the Hard Rock Cafe directly across the street is a likely venue. Any suggestions of other establishments within “eye shot” of the will call window are welcome!

I agree!!! 8)
