Felt the need to post something somewhere re the show at the Sage on Saturday night.To begin with I thought Lucinda Williams put on an excellent show we had travelled down from Scotland having decided Newcastle would probabally be a better show than Perth Scotland in terms of atmosphere /crowd involvenment oh how wrong I was.In my many years of attending music shows ranging from large festivals /outdoor shows to various indoor events large and small i dont think i can remeber a crowd who were as pathetic as the one i was in the middle of on Saturday night the complete lack of any type of engagement to what was happening on the stage was incredable,we should make no judgements on the perfomer or the venue it is the crowd that make a show really happen or not and this crowd where someting else.I wish I had a camera to capture the looks on the peoples face next to us when we clapped our hands are we not allowed to enjoy ourselves I actually wonderd why some people where actually there due to there complete disinterest to what was being presented to them.Rant over apart from that brilliant gig /brilliant performer.
