Holy Pre-Derby Day, lafayette! You can pop over to Louisville and still be bright-eyed for Tuesday morning car pool duty. Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Count me as a road warrior for ‘Looville’ or “Luville!” 2 1/2 hour drive [no problem] and the kid is car pooling himself this year, although Mom duties typically have me assuring his feet hit the floor and his lunch is packed. 😉

Headliner’s will round out a nice little run for me. The intimate Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, the general admission club type atmosphere of Headliner’s (saw Amos at this venue, reminds me of Madison Theater in Covington, Ky) and the stoic and revered setting of the ‘Mother Church.”

Perfect trifecta!

Okay, thanks! This prompted me to check High Road and WOOT…Lu in Louisville on May 2 and Athens, GA on May 3.

Thanks for all the reports, much appreciated. The FF is representing at these shows!

Chicago bound, I am, and looking forward to it. I still haven’t gotten over missing Philly. 👿

Thanks, Mike.

Aaaaahhhh…2 Kool made the set list!

From T.O.:

Night two saw three more new song debuts, (highlighted in blue) and everyone was happy with how they sounded on the first live play. We loved having Amos back again and it was a real spontaneous addition that he also sang on Sam Cooke’s Change Is Gonna Come. Were back stage talking during Joy and I said to Amos “Hey do you know Change is Gonna Come?” and he said “the Sam Cooke version or the Otis Redding version?” to which I said “ok, you gotta do it”. And he just went out and killed it. That song was made for the two of them. Lu could hardly contain herself watching him sing his verses.
Thank you Philly for kicking off the tour in the best possible way.

Yessss, on the Amos doing A Change Is Gonna Come, as I mentioned in another thread, he has performed it many times, including an Obama rally in 2008, I think at the 4th of July event he performed at the White House in 2011 (but I could be wrong on that), etc etc.

Here is that Obama rally. Video quality isn’t the best, but you certainly catch the spirit of the song.

Chicago will hopefully be nice and not too windy come April. 😉
