Oldguitar

Thought I would drop in on the forum -first time..hello folks. I went along to the Melbourne 2nd concert April 2. A very rockin’ gig and loud -it reminded me of seeing loud bands back in the late ’70s. Interesting support acts, though I thought Buick 6 could have cut their set by 10 mins., but still an excellent guitar rock style band. Being a gigging muso myself, I thought Lucinda and the band played pretty loosely on the night (but not a bad thing at all). The title track to Car Wheels was stalled a bit halfway through when Lucinda forgot the words in one of the verses..maybe got choked up, don’t know, but she kept it going with the song. It was a very loud vocal mix on her voice, and I’m sure some of the older folks were expecting pleasant country rock and some were grumbling a bit at the volume level of the gig -didn’t worry me though -great sound in Hamer Hall. She squeezed a lot of songs in as promised and did the AC/DC “Long Way to the Top” near the end.. I think someone in the band was playing the wrong chords, but Lucinda pulled them together ( an apt song for Melbourne, as I remember walking along Swanston St. on the day when AC/DC did their famous back of the truck video of that song in the ’70s). Overall, we loved the gig, and love Lucinda’s work over the years.
