Yes, thank you, i’m ok Bigsubi 🙂
In the meantime you find two new posts about the concert’s details (“Partial blue ballsy setlist” by stoger and “Blue Balls Festival Lucerne 22nd” by swisschris).
So there isn’t much to add. The venue was indeed not exactly the most decent place for this kind of concert. It’s very formal, more suitable for a classic than a rock concert. And as formal as the venue itself was the audience. They sat so stiffly in their seats as if they had just swallowed a board and it seemed that most of them knew nothing of Lucinda and her music. There were almost no reactions when she announced a song. This was hard to bear for myself, being a long time fan of her music and I wish I could have shared my enthusiasm with other real fans rather than sitting among people who don’t move and don’t show any emotion. At least towards the end the audience finally awoke and gave Lucinda and her band a standing ovation. I agree with swisschris that it was a very rock orientated concert and that the sound wasn’t always perfect but their show was fabulous. Personal highlights for me were “well well well” and “tears of joy” which had a kind of a jazzy groove.
Eric plays damned well and he certainly doesn’t hold back with his joy to play in this band. And that’s ok. To me it seems that he’s almost the contrary of Doug who played his guitar so understated and calm in the back and yet always fascinated or almost mesmerized me with his stage presence.
