Second for the Canyon Club, a great venue. Or Hollywood, which is nearby.
If there is some debate going on about whether last fall’s 5 night run at the El Rey has exhausted the ticket-buying interest in LA, the answer is NO! NO! NO!
For someone who lives in LA (I think) and where several band members live in LA (I think), we’d hope for more shows around here – but I can also see how once you get home you just want to relax.
In any event, a strong vote for just about any LA venue (other than Nokia!)
This is great news. I’m picking one up in LA each night but I’m only able to go to four of the five. Plus I’ll want the NY ones as well, especially with what is looking to be an entirely different set of guests from what I’ve heard so far (maybe some the same but some very different).
I add my vote for the second sets, even though I think that might be more problematic (getting the permission of all the guests)…
Just a quick note on the guests for those who are curious:
Jim Lauderdale, Steve Earle, Allison Moore, Marvin Etzioni, Mike Campbell
and the show: oh my oh my!!!
The mic that Jim Lauderdale was using didn’t seem to be working very well. I couldn’t hear him even on the few occasions when he was singing. I hope they fix that this time (or he moves closer, not sure what the cause was).
I probably won’t be able to get there until just about show time but I’ll try to make my way to right front to see the “forum gang!”
I thought last night was a lot of fun but nowhere near as special as Wednesday was – which seems to be the general consensus of people posting here so far, other than MT who was one of the few already “in the know” about Greg Dulli. I loved Are You Down and Unsuffer Me, as well as the “other” Jackson. But for me Wednesday was a truly special evening, one of the best I’ve ever seen after many many Lucinda shows. (And after all those, the two best for me were both at the El Rey, this one and 12/18/03.)
Would love to meet others from here at the upcoming shows. I have tix for all 5 of course but it looks like I won’t be able to make Monday’s.
The other really fascinating thing about last night’s show was Lucinda’s comment about Gurf. I think she may not have intended to let it slip that she invited him to be a guest at one of the shows (she said she hasn’t heard from him yet). Boy would it be special to see them reunite on stage after all these years. I am a huge Doug Pettibone fan, but I would love to see Gurf play a few songs with her too.
Loved the comment about Honeybee sounding like something the Heartless Bastards might have cooked up. I really enjoyed HB at the Ventura show last year. Lu always seems to come with great opening acts, much more so than almost anyone else. HoneyBee in this arrangement is really fun to experience!
