fakebook? are you refering to the lyric book she has on the music stand?
If so, she always has it. And if you have ever seen Neil Young solo you would see he has one on stage with him as well.[/quote]that is correct, i am referring to the lyric book. I’ve seen Neil several times, and he has never had a lyric sheet book with him…I saw him as recently as last month (Farm Aid) and I didn’t see a book….I’m just saying I think its unusual.
I guess I have one other thing to say…and maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. What’s up with the fakebook? This was only my second time seeing LW, and I just find the practice to be very unusual…I’ve been to zillions of shows over my years, and have never come across that before from any other artist/performer.

I find it amazing that people are criticizing someone for shouting out that the guitar was low in the mix (it was) and yet no one makes a deal out of the self-centered, continuous “i love you Lu” nonsense that goes on during her shows. Selfish people want that split-second of attention focused on THEM and are rude and disruptive. Show some respect for the performer.
A few more things….Jesse Malin is a living link between the New York punk scene of the late 70’s/80’s and has some great “war stories” about NYC during that time. He’s always entertaining. Sorry you didn’t like his clothing.
Steve Earle was fantastic. Yeah, he botched part of Jail House Tears but the fact is, he is a professional, he took it in stride, had some fun and KEPT PLAYING. Unlike someone else we know Wink
Overall, the show was disappointing. I looked so forward to hearing Car Wheels performed in its entirety and it left me feeling underwhelmed. I will say that with each song, she seemed to progressively get more comfortable, and it showed in the execution of the songs. But the opening Right in Time felt like she had just woken up from a nap. The second set was just an awkward disaster. I felt so uncomfortable at times. LW needs to realize that people love her, and that if there’s a mistake or whatever, people don’t care, they love her anyway and she needs to keep the show going. It ruins the flow of the show and leaves people feeling uncomfortable.
