I agree with howa in that when I see a show by one of my favorite performers, I want to to see a setlist that includes my old favorites. I only became a Lucinda fan about six or seven years ago, but quickly became hooked. The Sacramento show was my fifth, so maybe I am biased by the fact that I have seen her perform many of her old songs already, but her new songs were so GOOD. I think her new album will be great if these new tunes are any indication.
My only disappointment for this show was the AC/DC cover. After checking out setlists on this forum, I was really looking forward to a rousing rendition of It’s a Long Way to the Top, but because of her meltdown, she seemed to be uninspired. I hope she includes this song on her setlist for the Fillmore shows.
(I also hope she plays Changed the Locks!)

It’s a Long Way to the TopI have to disagree with howa. From where I sat in the 4th row, I heard enthusiastic applause from an electrified crowd. I thought Lucinda and her band put on an outstanding show. I anticipated a low-key, mellow Sacramento crowd and was worried that Lucinda would get a bad vibe and play accordingly. She really seemed to enjoy herself. I thought her new songs were outstanding and well-received.
She really seemed to enjoy herself until Rarity fell apart. The crowd tried to encourage her, but she got really angry, saying, “Welcome to our rehearsal,” and scowled her way through the last 2 songs.
Besides her new tunes, I really liked hearing Crescent City, (dedicated to the people of New Orleans) Ventura, and Concrete and Barbed Wire.
I agree with your post, Gavinsdad. I have never understood why fans criticize musicians for “selling out”. Isn’t it the goal of all musicians to be successful in their craft and support themselves by making money? I am not a JCM fan, but I can’t blame him for accepting money for the use of his song in a commercial. Shoot – Led Zeppelin did it, so did Bob Seger, the Beatles, who else?
