I’m thinking Mark will be with the Neil Young entourage at Farm Aid, after reading thru the Cain’s thread. I’ll keep an eye out for him pre show and post show.
A comment from the article lwj posted in New Orleans #1 gives reference to a large chunk of the set list (on Monday evening) after the Rough Trade set as dedicated to Louisiana songs.
“I didn’t return for night two, but I heard she gave a big chunk of the second set Monday (probably to celebrate her LMHoF induction) over to Louisiana songs: Hank Williams, Memphis Minnie, Fats… if you have the set list, please post!”

22 Get Right with God [with Susan Cowsill + the whole KBB, including its third drummer in the last week]She fumbled the lyrics to “The Night’s Too Long” but rallied in fine fettle, saying “My fans are smart; they’re going to notice.” Toward the end, she substitutes “Dixie” for “Corona.”
Early in set, she praises the “punk label” Rough Trade for taking a chance on her and speculates that her having fallen through the cracks between country & rock is now called “Americana” territory.
Mark will miss sound duty in Bristol because he is working Farm Aid. Lafayette?
Good to meet “vmorris” (not her exact handle) from this Forum, also to see Randy & Kathy from Alabama (Randy gives a shout-out to tntracy). I believe Randy’s front-row brow is visible in that photo. Also, the N.O. music photographer Erica was there and active–seen her at multiple Lu shows through the years, also photographing Jazz Fest. I believe all these folks will be there again tonight.
The good times did indeed roll, in any language. And don’t forget to rub the Professor Longhair bust/statue for good luck.
I love your posts. It truly is living Lu shows vicariously through you. New Orleans is on my bucket list as a travel destination for a Lu show. Next time, I hope.
Yessss! I will be at Farm Aid. Is he helping with sound, I assume? I’m volunteering this year and was assigned the sweet gig of working the press event and possibly an artist/media escort to the press event. My husband, however, doesn’t think that sounds so cool, the escort part. 😆
A glorious 12 minute version of “Rockin’ In The Free World” and “Get Right With God” with Kenneth Brian Band.

Lu was wondering where the Perfesser was post show.
well, in his car driving back 200 or so miles to his “home” prior to the next morning’s work. But I do feel I made up for that with my Champaign and Memphis aftershow efforts.
We told her you were homeward bound on a work night, but not to fear, you would be in Memphis. 😀
A few tweets from Memphis show. A film critic/reporter for The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, according to his bio.

I’ve seen Lucinda Williams umpteen times, but that show last night was a return to greatness. Best since 1998 at the New Daisy.Love how Lucinda Williams makes ‘Memphis’ a five syllable word. “I always love being back in May-ay-uhm-uh-fuss.” <---LOVE this observation. 😀
It’s true. The FF was well represented in St. Louie! Very friendly city. The Pageant is a great venue. Lu was heaping praise as one of her favorites.
Stuart is wowing with his guitar licks, receiving several approving smiles from Lu throughout the night.
The show was absolutely incredible.”Side of the Road” was a highlight for me.
I love attending shows with FF members. It’s a brotherhood of sorts. Good times.
Over The Rhine doing an On Air interview at WNKU, 1:00 p.m. hour EST, today, with JP. Also, they kick off a live Studio 89 next Monday, which also airs on WNKU, at 7:00 p.m. EST.

Awesome report PLUS two of your favorite ladies in the house.
Looks like Stuart is learning more of the catalog. Good deal. 😀
Great show and sound. Lu was in great spirits, and I, too, enjoyed the back story on the introduction to several of the songs [many I had heard prior], but every now and then, additional bits of information finds its’ way into the storytelling. Think karaoke. Very 😆
I obtained a set list from the stage. “Get Right” was scribbled in as a last song, however, curfew must have trumped.
It was great meeting you, Mark, and your wife. Hope to see you tomorrow evening!
I’m looking forward to seeing West Words tomorrow as well. The horsemen will unite, albeit one.
As always, it’s great to hang with the road warrior himself, row Q be damned.

Most excellent for you Parma was added to her show list! She’s added another Southgate House date to her calendar on Nov 16, one I think I can make. Her Dayton show I had planned on attending, the night after Parma, I realized I will be in Indianapolis at an Amos show. Her SH gig on Sept 14 finds me chasing the kid around during the day at a Cross Country meet followed by a UC football night game. I’m not sure my better half (or myself) will have enough gas to stop in and catch her set.
