Will do visions. look into the PM I just sent in your user control panel for my e-mail address.
Glad you enjoyed the show. Lu is really mixing up the set lists on this tour.

Albany is a town wherein the menu of the restaurant at the Greyhound station is in French. I don’t say a bilingual menu, I say that it is in French. Though I didn’t arrive by bus mode this trip, I’ve been to plenty Dog depots and can truly say that was a unique find.
After a Google search out of curosity, I discovered 7 Greyhounds leave Montreal daily bound for NYC all with a 40 minute layover in Albany for re-fuelling, rest, etc. and most buses are full. Hence the sandwich au fromage or poutine on the menu. 😆
Enjoy the rest of the tour.

A review from the Albany Times-Union.

And a special thanks to stoger for his tour of Albany. I love these side stories.

Great reporting Lefty from a very historic venue.
Normally our FF gal Lafayette posts the lists to Setlist FM, but I see in the 3 Rivers thread that she was away, so I went ahead to help her out.lwj

Darn tootin’ “Sidewalks…” is a debut, lwj–just as “Lines Around…” was in Delaware. I don’t think I’ve heard either outside of the “album-a-night” format a few years back, until “Lines” in Wilmington. I’m liking these lists. By the way, Leftover Salmon recorded “Sidewalks” some time ago, with Lu I think.
The set lists on this tour are running the whole gambit, love it.
Re: “Lines Around Your Eyes” , as per Setlist FM it is listed only the once for the recent Delaware show but I did find out Lu recorded the song on the Nashville Sessions CD in 1999 with Leftover Salmon.The following You Tube might be one of Lu’s oldest.
Have a looksee.
It’s Lines Around Your Eyes on the Letterman show from 1992. ( It’s a re-post earlier in the FF but it’s worth a repeat.)

Lucinda Williams turns in another strong performance for packed festival audience
June 15, 2014 12:30 AMScott Mervis / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Rosemary Welsch, WYEP afternoon host, noted from the stage Saturday night that Paste magazine just rated the Three Rivers Arts Festival the No. 1 small-scale music festival.
A magazine for adult rock tastes, Paste certainly adores festival opener Jeff Tweedy as well as Saturday night’s headliner Lucinda Williams, the Leading Lady of alt-country.
Making her first visit to Point State Park since 2003, she was greeted by a huge, attentive crowd and, prompted by Ms. Welsch, a chorus of “Lu’s.”
“Thank you for the Lu’s,” she said. “The only other person who got the Lou’s was Lou Reed, so it’s an honor.”
This one’s the same ol’ Lu, with her tousled blonde hair, ripped jeans and that one-of-a-kind slow, lazy drawl that cuts right through you with all the heartbreak and longing.
This being a tighter festival set, it was all killer, starting with twangy roadhouse rocker “Can’t Let Go.” Flipping through her now standard sheet music, she followed with all the brilliant Triple-A hits: “Metal Firecracker,” “Drunken Angel,” “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road” and “I Lost It,” among them (but no “Passionate Kisses”).
She has a history of luring great guitarists to her side. Three years ago at Stage AE she had young gun Blake Mills. This time it was Stuart Mathis, who sounded hotter than he does with The Wallflowers, bringing a thick Neil Young-like tone and venturing into some wicked jams with her crack rhythm section of bassist David Sutton and drummer Butch Norton, particularly on the jazz-reggae groove of “Are You Down” and a stomping “Joy.”
Lu’s voice and elongated delivery might not be for all tastes, but she blew the room away with “Changed the Locks,” infused with an extra shot of hurt and menace — “I’ll change the name of this town!” she cried over and over — and “Honey Bee” was a beauty.
Although it’s always a rousing closer, she should leave “Rockin’ in a Free World” to Neil and Pearl Jam, as it was a bit all over the place vocally, but she did finish strong with the encore “Get Right With God,” bursting into a gospel climax.
The one new song, “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” didn’t quite live up to the billing on first listen, but with “Where the Spirit Meets the Bone” coming in September, we have a new chapter to look forward to from the alt-country queen.

Not sure if the ticket price to “Ghost Brothers of Darkland County” are too steep for your pocketbook, however, I highly recommend seeing this show. It makes its way to Massey Hall in Toronto.
Spectacular production.

Thanks Lafayette, Tickets are $42. to $85 at Massey Hall on November 11th.
Tell me, is this a full play format plus part film and who might be participating live from JM’s band ?
This looks like a very unique show and I’ll pencil in on my calendar.lwj

Well?
stoger, does the word “Well” indicate that your road tour has now gone home to the Volunteer State of TN ?
If so, I would like to thank you for your PHD knowledge in Luology and your reporting of this very successful tour.
What was your favorite show ? Don’t say em all ! 😆

Nothing set in stone yet for Toronto but the plan is definitely to play there after the album comes out -sometime in Oct/Nov would seem very likely.
Great news TomO.
I’ll be sure to bring along a Sharpie for autograph time by the bus with my copy of the S/T re-release and the new double CD.
Although I’ve seen her twice at Massey Hall and once at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, how about considering the stand-up action of venues like the Phoenix Concert Theatre or Kool Haus (saw the Heartless Bastards there).
Both of these venues are warehouse sized.
Here’s the Phoenix info.
