I’ve never heard of this film – has any one else? If you have seen it, is the band’s appearance prominent in the film, or just “in the background”. I’m going to have to see if I can find a copy…

Tnt-You sure know how to start the New Year with this puzzler.
I am totally confused by my “detective” work on this one.

I have now seen 3 movie trailers-Nothing is making much sense.
The movie F.T.W. stands for “F***The World” or “Frank T. Wells” but also was marketed as “The Last Ride”
One trailer is about “choppers” ( motorcycles ), another is about a rodeo and yet a third goes back to 1944 on Turner Classic Movies.

I did see the Carnival Band and Charlie Sexton listed.
I’ve got another 2 hours or so to continue the search before tuning in to The Sugar Bowl.@tntracy wrote:

but it would be too easily researched on the Internet, so…

You gotta be kidding.

P.S. I did find out that the 1994 movie is “R” rated

Tom will definitely have to weigh in on this one, but I am still leaning towards unauthorized

I totally agree. Let’s wait to hear from TO.
In the meantime, on this New Year’s Day, here is a You Tube from the same company marketing the Basel, Switzerland Concert (Authorized or Unauthorized-That is the question )
This is from Nov./07 from Rockpalast in Koln, Germany. It was originally broadcast on WDR ( a German station )
and it is listed as a full concert on DVD.
The song is “Out of Touch” from good old Essence-except it is 7:24 in length vs the original at 5:25 and really features a great guitar riff by Lu and Doug P.
Enjoy

Hey lwj,

pm me an address and I’ll pass a copy along!

Very kind of you. What a nice way to start off the New Year on the “Friendly Forum”
I’ll send you a pm. If you are ever down Niagara way, the beer is on me.

Thank you for helping me add to my Lu collection.

Not really related to guest appearances, but we all know DVD’s of Lucinda Williams are very limited.

Here are 2 “unreleased” DVD’s from 2007.
Basel Switzerland and Koln ( Cologne ) Germany that it looks like we can buy.
Both feature a short clip and appear to be in very high quality.

Here is the link.

Now, it’s off to my neighbours to bring in 2010.

if I had to pick one and only one “desert island” Lu album, it would be Essence – I absolutely love this album.

Totally agree, especially if I can con Itchy Skin into burning a copy of “Essence/ In Touch with the famous KGSR “Blue” version since he is also from Ontario, Canada.

Failing that, I will keep a watch on E-Bay.

If anyone is watching the game, we have tickets in the lower section of the dome, 24 rows up, in the corner of one of the end zones. I doubt there will be TV coverage in that section but you never know.

Lafayette;
Please be more specific from the attached seating chart.

What will you be wearing?
Examples might be: A West Chester, OH cap, A Bear Cats hoodie, a Lu T-shirt, WHO-DEY gloves, etc.

Most of all, have fun at the game, at your friend’s tail gate party at the mansion and exploring Lu’s past in New Orleans.

Also -on the Neil front -during the upcoming Grammy week Neil will be honored as Musicares Man Of The Year and Lucinda, Emmylou and Patty Griffin will be performing Comes A Time at the show. Should be a great night.

Thanks TO for all the up-dates.
This is exactly why I wrote under Lucinda in General re:NPR 12/21-If I was able to get thru on the phone in-no question for Lu-just a compliment about her hubby taking such an active part in this Forum. Keep the news coming in 2010
