I am so-o-o-o-o stroked! You have no idea!!! My Amos & Lu travels will have me in Cincy & Cleveland. I wish I could go to Pittsburgh as well, however, I just hate the thought of those divorce papers waiting for me on the kitchen table with as many shows as I have been attending/will attend . 😆
Amos’s presales are good if you get in right away. You just have to check the seating chart of the venue. I have seen some pre-sales where the seats really weren’t all that great and others where they have been superb. I am definitely giving his pre-sale a whirl.
lwj- YAY! You are coming to Cleveland. If you want to drive to Cincy first you are more than welcome to stay at Chez Lafayette. I still have room for stoger as well.
I typically have only seen Amos in clubs, auditoriums, and once in an arena opening for Dylan.
A preview of what I think we can expect. A cover of “Fat Bottomed Girls.” He usually ends his shows with a cover song, in Nashville I heard a beautiful rendition of John Prine’s “Paradise” with the Secret Sisters and Mickey Raphael on harmonica.
Fat Bottomed Girls at Irving Plaza.
“Clear Blue Eyes” with The Secret Sisters and Mickey Raphael at The Ryman. Audio is great, video shot from afar.

This was taken the night of the Janis Joplin tribute in Cleveland. The stage sign indicates (I would think) this was taken at the venue. This is the night Lu wrote “Port Arthur” just minutes before taking the stage.
And if memory serves (and in my case I think you might agree it does), we, Lafayette, were there. . . .
Yes, your memory is spot on, stoger. It was truly a memorable night! I spoke to Betty Lavette that evening and the first thing that caught my eye was that belt buckle 😀 and I remember Lu’s necklace, too!
First, thank you for those eh Canadian links. I’ve been preoccupied with pre-show tasks for road trips plus travel, show, etc. so I missed this. I’m looking forward to watching/listening to them after I get caught up with the day to day. I think he crossed the border to do this promo stuff plus he did a few things in NYC around the same time.
I never made it to the Grimey’s In Store. I saw it posted on his FB page late Thursday evening and never had time to prepare to get there. A girl I met last year at one of Amos’s shows at The Mercy Lounge made it at the last minute. She said 200 chairs were set up and she was in the back.
The show at the Ryman was absolutely phenomenal. My first visit to that storied venue was last year at the AMA’s. I then saw JM, front row center (!) last November. This visit had me in the balcony, front row, and advice from a friend of mine is the place to be to hear a show at The Ryman is seated in that balcony. I couldn’t agree more! I’ve seen Amos 11 or 12 times, and this one was, by far, the most superior sounding show EVER. The Secret Sisters opened and brought their father out to sing with them. During Amos’s set, he brought them out to sing a few, with one of the songs being “Clear Blue Eyes” along with Mickey Raphael on harp. Absolutely amazing ! I’m so glad he included that song in the setlist. He was grooving on it much the same way he did in LA with Lu. I have it recorded on my camera but had to turn it on with no video as I was politely told prior, by security, there was no video recording (I had to turn my camera off mid song of the most beautiful version of “Violin”). There was no mention of a Lu tour from the stage. He did mention two items of note. A video was in the works for “Windows Are Rolled Down” as well as proclaiming he would love to record his next record in Nashville. He played one potential song for said record, “Johnson Boulevard,” only to have it interrupted by a disruptive fan that had to be removed. He made light of the situation, saying he was really in the moment, and wanted to try to go back to the bridge to find it again.

Sometimes, he might have to put his hand to his chin to trigger the mechanism, but it’s a pretty reliable machine! How does he do that… 😮
Oh, Sandy, it never dawned on me the times I’ve been with stoger and that ol’ “hand to chin” action was actually a trigger mechanism for our favorite road warrior. 😆

I don’t plan on it at this time but anything could change. Right now we have tickets to a Reds game on June 5.

OK, had lots of time to kill today.
Went to LW’s Resource Site in the INFO section of this forum as edited by Barry Brooks.
Was looking at old set lists for the impressive work tntracy and Lafayette have been doing and then articles to see what I could Google up.Up came a rather unusual one from the July 1989 issue of Spin Magazine.
It was their swimsuit issue so take a look.http://books.google.ca/books?id=D2y5iVad5loC&pg=PA70&lpg=PA34&dq=Spin+magazine+July+1989&source=bl&ots=uO3xW4ST6V&sig=gxdMOChkQuMVsCLTBkDIKGnbEPY&hl=en&ei=OQKaTYToGqm-0QHQkYH4Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CD8Q6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=Spin%20magazine%20July%201989&f=false

LOVE that find, lwj!

I’ve entered a few from 2008. I’m googling and finding set lists posted from reviews. I love the font you chose for the NYE set list.
lwj..I had several friends at that show last night, a few in the front row! I would have love to have been but the stars didn’t align for me.
I have never been to Europe, perhaps one day. This will be JM’s first jaunt across the pond in 19 years on tour. In 1999 he played a small club in Germany and a few years ago he played a few gigs (industry showcases) in the UK along with a sit down with Bob Harris.
Divorces do that to JM. He either retreats or immerses himself in work. Looks like he has chosen the latter.
