Get Right with GodThanks, Paul: sometimes I can’t remember the obvious. I tried “west” and “mountain” and even my surname (name of the Vancouver park), then left the computer in a huff. An hour on, the first row was still available. I’m seat 34. Reckon any bald eagles will be at this show? See you in Phoenix?

19 Real Live Bleeding Fingers & Broken Guitar Strings [with AYH, SM, and CR]Thanks: best I can tell, this was the first hearing on the tour for “Something About What Happens. . .” and “I Envy the Wind.”
OK–now I have read Basil’s report; I wouldn’t quite go so far as to deem it “retarded bullshit,” but there are some dubious statements. I’ll confine myself to the Carrie Rodriguez business, whose opening act I’ve seen three times on this tour. If you think her new song “Mask of Moses” is anti-Israeli, I suggest you try to make Buffalo or Columbus or Knoxville or Memphis or Louisville and listen once more. What it’s “anti” toward is the demented current policy of a nation much closer to us than anywhere in the Middle East, viz., the land of most of the people currently posting. As for an alleged dearth of cover songs, Rodriguez has only 35-40 minutes from night to night. Didn’t you get an instrumental fiddle tune in Ann Arbor which she identified as a cover? I can’t remember the title or the artist I’m afraid, but she threw in at least one such song. Beyond that, half of what you heard was co-authored with Chip Taylor, and it don’t get much better than that. . . .
Well, I wasn’t in Ann Arbor, but I strongly doubt that erstwhile studio musicians Tony Garnier and Jim Keltner (Essence) joined the band for this one night. I appreciate the struggle for evocative language which the last poster showed (and I haven’t read the controversial “Basil link” yet); most things were probably accurate. Still, it had to be David Sutton and Butch Norton in the rhythm section, no? I won’t resurrect the Christie/Produniak nostalgia here (jackstraw says it well), nor will I pine for Messrs. Heffington and Bryan. The backing musicians are more than serviceable, but the day Keltner and Garnier condescend to go on tour with our Lu is the day I’ll take notice bigtime.
Thanks, Paul: after some cumbersome business with passwords, I finally got registered for the ‘in house’ presale and scored a section 1 row D ticket. This sounded pretty good till I went to the seating chart and saw that sections 2 and 3 are more central to the stage. Still, I tried the code “stars” a couple hours later when the Ticketmaster presale started, and center (2) row T was the best available. So I guess I’ll be unable to see David or Doug from my angle, but at least I’m fourth row (I think). Will we see you at the Vic?
Aw shucks, Paul, you were so subtle in your first posting here about the password–you gave it away next post!!! Dust off that passport, it’s X 3 in the land to our north. I got mediocre seats for all three, even though I had presale code for two of them. Still, this run should be great. Portland will stand out as the lone general admission venue on this North X Northwest slate–isn’t that the venue with the sloping floor? Jackstraw, we once grooved there. . .
Well done Paul on those four uppercase letters punning on new record: I’ll be working that geographical area in June. Unlike the next poster, I wouldn’t call Mountain Winery “horrible,” though maybe in terms of non-fans getting the first crack at seats it is. The setting is beautiful, the security goons much less prominent than in San Diego. Still, it was hard to believe that Saratoga winery show was cancelled a couple years back and rescheduled in a difficult September slot. And Paul, $705 is not so bad for you, is it? I myself had to play plebe and land a mediocre seat, no dinner no dancing no overarching hotel balcony. Just the basics. Wonder if Lisa Sanders will open that one again: she’s quite good.
