I’m slow……Does this mean that there is a chance that LW is coming to Savannah?!!
Who is Frank?You’re not slow, dariusjag. The message to which you refer was posted by a promoter who has worked &, apparently, is still working with TOverby on shows in the Southeast. For some reason, he is posting personal messages to TOverby here in the forum using terms only Tom can apparently understand. (Yes, many of us have been “guilty” of posting personal messages before, but not exclusively…)
The bottom line, in my humble & unsolicited opinion, is to look to Mr. Overby alone for definitive news on shows. He has in the past been very forthcoming (witness the announcement of unconfirmed shows in this thread) & I have no reason to expect that to change in the foreseeable future… 😉
Tom
P.S. May I make a suggestion, HighMaintenance2099? Please post private messages to TOverby as a “PM” (Private Message). To do so, click his user name to the right of any of his posts, then click the “Send private message” link under “CONTACT TOVERBY”. Thank you.
Admirable restraint, Mr. Moderator–and you accomplished it with mainly lowercase lettering, standard typeface, and basic principles of English grammar and syntax.

So as I stated yesterday some of the dates were tentative and I just got the first change to what I listed yesterday. The 10/26 show will now be Baltimore at the Ram’s Head instead of Norfolk. I am going to edit my earlier post to reflect that. I hope I didn’t jump the gun by posting those tentative dates yesterday, I apologize for any inconvenience.
Thanks for monitoring and updating this, Tom: you’re making it more than convenient to plan ahead.

New album title.
❓
Well, to me Blessed is still new and fresh–though admittedly a lot of water has gone under the bridge since March 1. So hopefully no one lost time typing in Port Arthur or Doors of Heaven or All I Want or Wild and Blue or anything else, trying to predict the title of the next album. . . .
TomIt’s always good to see such unanimity among friends: the verdict seems identical on both coasts, if 25 hours apart. Welcome back to the land of postings, Tim.

Two shows in LA in Nov 22 & 23 MIGHT be on again. These would now be the last shows of the year if they do indeed happen.
OOh, baby: California’ dreamin, right up until Turkey Day. Tony, with the Monday travel day, why not make both SF and LA? Tom, any blanks you can fill in up around the two Florida dates in October, i.e., other specific Southeast bookings? Thanks.

CB, your reportage is “stogeresque” (“stogeriffic”?) — anyway, good stuff! 🙂
Any such flattering adjective coinage will do nicely, Lefty. Lafayette, great stuff! I’ve gotten to see Billy Joe Shaver in a tiny place–what a songwriter. During a less clean-shaven phase of my life, I was told multiple times I favored Tommy Chong (or was it Cheech?), so that mistaken ID story involving a football player resonates nicely. Now that you’ve broken in one side of Missouri with that KC barbeque, how about the other, Pageant St. Louie, come October?
P.S. to Lefty: I asked tour manger Eric if Susannah has been working merch for the eels, and the answer was no 🙁

The Gruene show will include a 45 minute solo set (or with Blake)– an intermission– then a regular full band set.
Tempter.

I was hoping that St. Louis date would work for me, however, that’s the night before AMA awards show and subsequent additional night for showcases. Too many nights away from the roost.
COME ON, LAFAYETTE: SET THAT GPS THINGIE AND HEAD TO MISSOURI (I AM; FALL BREAK STARTS THAT VERY DAY). ST. LOUIE TO NASHVILLE? PIECE OF CAKE. I’M FEELING MSHDG FROM FORUM WILL GET IN ON THIS PAGEANT DEAL.
C’mon Columbus, OH!Good job, Tony. I’ve just come from five sets of tennis to approximate your 36-hole morning on the links, so I’ll add a few comments.
Once we got Tony off the balloon rides and Etienne away from the lead horse on the carousel, things moved smoothly in the Orange County Great Park toward an 8:15 walk-on, sans opener.
The “not going to walk off the stage” sequence was in contrast to the Kings of Leon apparently taking a hike in the Dallas heat.
Lu used the verb “disconnected” to describe herself vis-a-vis the audience during all that mess you capture around the second or third song.
She said she was made nervous by the “hard and fast curfew” she had been told to honor–and I believe I’m right that she added a labor union tag at that point. What the curfew hour was (if any) was never clear to me, as she ended not at the top or the bottom of a given hour.
Good to see Paul from LA at this “rock concert,” though as Tony points out, he had a third row chair with his name on it, to our huddling with the masses further back (no complaints though: it was a fine perch).
So let’s call that show summer capstone, a good if not great evening, and look forward to the fall slate. Nice to see Etienne, Tony, and Paul–though other Forum members were missed. As for lafayette, probably just as well you didn’t try it, as here’s a quote from the Orange County Great Park website: “There is no currently no physical address to the Great Park. Please do not rely on GPS.” Ha!

I just learned that the site of this show is the former site of El Toro Marine base that was decomissioned in 1999, I think. This was a major military base in WWII and Vietnam. It was also the airport Nixon used when he travelled to the Western White house in San Clemente, probably to plot and scheme out his nefarious crimes against the nation. It took the city 10 years to figure out what to do with the site.
Anyway, carry on.
Sounds like this might “cover,” in a sense, those phantom Fort Blank military shows that were once slated for Georgia and North Carolina. At any rate, here’s hoping the lawn chair situation is solid, Tony. . .

Stoger, check this out. We should eat there, no?
I’ll bring an extra lawn chair for you.

P.S. I am not going on a balloon ride.
I’m all for staying grounded in Tony-provided furniture too, yes.

Well I was there. She did not mail it in. It was a very pleasant evening outside in New Hampshire, the first night of my vacation where the humidity broke. Lu was in excellent voice.
I look forward to the Orange County show, as soon as I get back home.
Perhaps there’s a cantina in the greater Irvine area which has our names written on it, Tony. . . .
Thanks, LWJ; for those of us lucky enough to be there, the “local color” segue into this song with its tale of hearing this singer in downtown Macon–along with talk of going to first and second grade in Macon–was one of the most fantastic Lucinda live moments ever, one for the ages.
