I did not attend this event, but I did find a photo of our happy woman at

Thanx, tonyg, for posting the setlist. I attended this show last night, and I’ll post a few observations.
1. Doug’s guitar work for this show was magnificent, especially on Pineola and Out of Touch. Duo shows with Lucinda and Doug are really special moments.
2. The outdoor venue was beautiful, with huge, wide, tall trees surrounding the stage, and colored stage-lights highlighting the trees.
3. The weather was surprisingly tranquil, for a June evening near the coast–no wind, no fog, just a dropping temperature from the 70’s to the 50’s–the temperature was well managed by the audience members, who applied their clothing layers like a hip commercial for North Face.
4. My one mild complaint: when a venue specifies no outside food or drinks, that usually means the venue plans to sell food and drink, and doesn’t want competition from the audience supplies. However, the library last night only sold beer and wine–no food. Fortunately, I had a granola bar in my pocket (to eat after my wine), but it seemed like a poor policy. A few experienced souls did have plastic containers with food, and no one seemed to check.
5. If you attend another show at this venue, bring a flashlight. The experienced audience members did have flashlights. There are no lights at the portable outhouses, and the insides are totally dark after sunset. Also, the outside road has no street lights, so walking back to my parked rental car on the dark road with no traffic and no lights was a bit creepy.
Perhaps, I’ll add more later. For now, time to fight for breakfast at Embassy Suites in Seaside, near Monterey.
Just an update to the postings of April 26, regarding single tickets for the Henry Miller Library performance on June 29:
Online ticketing has not changed–you must still buy a minimum of 2 tickets online; however, if you click the “more info” link, you can read that single tickets are available by telephone. This process is working as advertised: a library staff member on the phone will take your payment details, and E-Mail a confirmation for a single ticket. Phone hours are 11-6, every day, except Tuesday.

http://lucindabigsur.eventbrite.com/Has anyone been able to select a quantity of “1” for Big Sur general admission tickets? The selector for the Reserved Tables allows 1 or 2 tables, but the GA selector only allows 2, 3, or 4 guests.
Edited for response from Folkyeah Facebook page:
“tixs are sold in pairs to promote carpooling to big sur. this special show is a 300 capacity show so the treat is seeing her in such a very small space…”
Sounds like Noah’s Ark…two by two…No single tickets!
Thanks, tonyg, for the folkyeah link. There is also this original link from Facebook:
http://lucindabigsurpresale.eventbrite.comHere are some promotional words for the May 19 show, from the weekly E-Mail of the 9:30 Club, which is associated with the Merriweather Post Pavilion:
“Back before Columbia became a bustling city, Route 29 was a lowly road that cut through the small town. Harkening back to those simpler times is the Route 29 Revue, featuring some great Americana and country-tinged rock sounds courtesy of Lucinda Williams and Drive-By Truckers. Don’t expect a tranquil evening either; both artists have their moments of reflection, but aren’t afraid to turn up the volume. Along with 9:30 Records’ own Justin Jones, hot on the heels of his new release, Fading Light, you’ve got yourself some sensational songs for this Saturday soiree.”

6:30pm GatesDuring the past month, I attended and enjoyed Kathleen’s shows at the El Rey in Los Angeles, and the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. However, Kathleen has now announced a medical postponement of some upcoming shows, in order to rest her voice and overcome fatigue. Fans can visit Kathleen’s website and Facebook page for discussion of her condition, and details of the postponed shows.

In the meantime, here are other websites for the event.http://www.azchickswithpicks.com
http://www.facebook.com/pages/AZ-Chicks-With-Picks/66841891472?v=wall&ref=tsAccording to the attached schedule, Lucinda has sets planned for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. However, one might speculate that the performers make informal guest appearances throughout the week of shows.

Lu’s birthday show, at the sold-out Belly-Up Tavern:
Musically, a remarkable performance, with several older songs not heard for several years.
Comfort-wise, not a great experience: The Belly-Up did not win stars for creature comforts, with the sold-out, enthusiastic audience filling every nanometer of space, both seated and standing. By joining the entry line at 5:55 for the 7 PM doors, I did manage to obtain a close-up bench for sitting, which was far better than stoger and WestWords, who went for dinner and arrived later to stand. Early entry for seats was available if you ate dinner in the adjoining restaurant, but that establishment had sold-out its reservations for the evening hour.
Onward to the music…As WestWords mentioned, Sara and Sean Watkins (associated with Nickel Creek) joined the show to play fiddle and acoustic guitar on several songs, during both Blake’s and Lucinda’s sets.
Lucinda’s setlist:
1. Pineola
2. Drunken Angel
3. Crescent City
4. Jackson
5. Born To Be Loved
6. Trying To Get To Heaven…
7. Fruits of My LaborSara and Sean joined here.
8. West
9. Like A Rose
10. Something About What Happens When We Talk

14. Can’t Let Go
15. Out Of Touch
16. Essence
17. Down the Big Road Blues
18. Honeybee
19. Changed the Locks (Lu solo, with electric guitar)end main set
20. I Ain’t Got No Home
21. Blessed
22. Joy (with Sara & Sean returning)
23. Get Right With God (with Sara & Sean)An evening of unique music, helped by the commitment to include songs for Sara’s fiddle. Unfortunately, Sara indicated she will not be joining tonight’s show at UCLA.
Folks, I’m trying to post the setlist, but this hotel computer is acting very unfriendly, with timeouts and strange keyboard actions. Briefly, 23 great songs, including Abandoned and Lafayette, featuring Sara Watkins on fiddle. I’ll post this afternoon, after I get home.
