I believe this NPR post featuring 3 songs on video is from this show:
The fire and feel Lucinda Williams brought to the Lincoln Center stage when she headlined this August concert is informed by 25 years of making music. Deeply informed by tradition, her work remains determinedly individualistic and envelope-pushing.
In musical dialogue with her longtime guitarist, Stuart Mathis, Williams pulled evocative pages from her big songbook, going back to 2003 for the soul-stirring “Fruits Of My Labor” while showing her continued currency with recent selections like the empathetic character study “West Memphis” and the soaring, attitudinal “Foolishness.”
Williams made no bones about her progressive politics while vamping through “Foolishness” like Americana’s own version of Nina Simone. Mathis answered her improvisations with slicing guitar lines of his own. It never took long for Williams to transform the night’s mood from quietude to fervor. Then she exited, inimitable spirit intact.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I was deep with family visiting, hardly time to engage in social media.
Looking forward to your January reports, tonyg!
How wonderful the nod Lu gave to you, stoger!
I so love the way Lu embraces her many fans. It’s a rarity.
Great report, stoger! Thanks so much for posting, I had intentions on taking the reigns to give you a break, however, you’re posts are more timely than mine these days.
Pre show was nice, albeit pricey dinner, however, the companionship was endearing. Miss my FF friends.
Nice seeing the NJ contingent and meeting backstreets after the show.
Regarding the show, it’s always good for me, regardless of mini/major meltdowns. As fans, we get it. As fans, as TO mentioned, we’ve also seen, time after time, Lu digging deep to make it right for her fans. The band had her back as well. They were digging just as deep for mama. In the end, she was smiling, and it was all good. At least for me, it was. PLUS, 2 Kool 2 Be-Forgotten! 😀
The room sounded fantastic, we were crammed in like sardines. I went with a feed on FB at the beginning of the show. I always have the intention of broadcasting just a few songs, but don’t have the heart to shut it off after I see the people on my friends list tuning in, ones that typically don’t interact on my page. The phone battery died before the hiccups on stage. I can’t bear to watch the footage again, I’m fairly certain I’m singing along on some songs and the mic picked up my vocals. A singer, I am not. 😳
Happy New Year to all!
A blog post on FUV’s website with the complete rundown of the evening [minus Viv’s intricate observations] with hyperlinks to photos on a flickr site as well as a few video links from the evening posted on FUV’s FB page, including “Little Angel, Little Brother.”

Thanks, Viv, for this spectacular show report! I have little to add as you captured the spirit of the entire evening. Amos and Lu are an ethereal sonic match . No words on how beautiful “I Envy The Wind” sounded. I love LOVE the respect and admiration the both of them have for the other.
My thanks, to you, Viv, for meeting me in the Big Apple for such an outstanding evening of music and shenanigans. 😉
I wish I could travel to more shows than I do, but thankful for the ones I can attend.

Able to purchase Fillmore(s), Seattle and Portland(s) !!Friendly Forum Fan Fanatics for the WIN!
So happy it worked for you, SSM!
I found the presale password for the WFUV show in NYC on November 30 by searching twitter. WFUV had posted it last year but not this year (that I could find). I used last year’s password but changed the year to 2016 (which was part of the password) and BOOM!, I was in. I love when that happens. 😀
Enjoy your shows, West Coasters! Long overdue, as I recall.
