Thanks for the report. West Words, if you are responsible for the Facebook feed, Thank you as well.
She is, she is. I generated none of the 14,000 hits on it myself.

Temporary NatureEach did 4 songs. Lu and Joe Ely discussed a tour they did which was sponsored by Jim Bean, and every night a case of Jim Bean was in the dressing room. That was “an interesting tour” Although we are bias, we both thought Lu got the best and loudest crowd reception. Our opinion was confirmed by a couple from Chicago with whom we shared a cab to the airport. So we must be right!!!
Jersey is always right–especially when in league with the Windy City.
Thanks D. I like this set list better than the first even. And don’t forget the elements of earth and air too. . .
Oh my God: Floridians on their feet in the last photo. Even that droopy-eyed first row chick from the top photo seems to have bestirred herself toward the end of the evening. Raucous raucous, swaying swaying.
Thanks Tom and Tony for the post, and Dr. ____ for the good antibiotic drugs.
What, none of you wild and crazy Clearwater music fans has seen fit to share your enthusiasm and knowledge here with a setlist and commentary on a certain Grammy-winner’s appearance in your town?

22 GEt Right with GodWell, I must say this was probably the most sterile crowd I’ve ever been in within the Lu context. We didn’t deserve “Atonement,” and the Neil Young cover was on the list for #23 but not played–despite soundman Mark Humphries admonishing people near him to applaud and stay put. Lights up, masses fleeing. We didn’t deserve that one either.
Case in point: between “Lake Charles” and “It’s Gonna Rain,” the woman behind me tapped me on the shoulder and actually said, “Would you not lean? I can’t see when you lean.” When I found my wits after the sheer absurdity of this comment, I think I mumbled something like “the issue here is my body posture?” ONe song later, I felt the tap again. “If you just sit normal, it would be OK.” Normal? Normal? Quite apart from the adjective vs. adverb blunder, I couldn’t believe that would be said by one patron to another at a rock concert. And by god I was determined to get some time with Lucinda after the show and convey this anecdote. Which happened, and she set me up by complaining about the crowd even before I told her. She was pretty amazed and disappointed. Now years ago in Oyster Bay I was accused by a seated spectator behind me of “swaying” from song to song, but last night topped that.
Perhaps any Floridians out there could speak to the issue of alcohol sales ending at 9 p.m.? Do most venues cut that off during the first fifth (no pun intended) of the headlining act? Is there a statute? And we had been allowed to take beverages inside, which made the last call/cut-off even more inexplicable. Huh???????
“Hickory Wind” was a slash mark alternate and may be on the docket for Orlando. We wouldn’t have deserved that one either.
So sayonara Ruth Eckerd Hall/Capitol Theatre/Clearwater, where a good taxicab is hard to find and you best do your drinkin’ early and stay silent and immobile in its aftermath.
Just thought this would be a good re-post since the tour returns to this edifice later in the week. May the crowd be fired up and non-“sterile” this time. Me, I’ll be in Tennessee.

Any word on pre-sale passwords?
Hmh, I thought a Sabbath night in Des Moines might get this gentleman’s attention. Somewhere under “Shows” there’s a current password posted. Good luck my middle America friend.

I really wish these reviews would not focus on Lucinda’s choice of drink. 👿
There was a worse preview blurb in the weekly Seattle newspaper The Stranger. The Seattle Weekly preview was tolerable.

Thank you Mr Stoger. It was a really good show. A higher energy level all around, including myself since I was on regular rest. Lu’s singing was more confident and she was all smiles all night, with bonus banter. Blue was a highlight, as was Foolishness which now appears to be the nightly much anticipated song. Stuart and Doug wailed during the encores.
This was my first time in the famed VIP deck. Everyone up there was somebody or another, except for me of course. Musicians, tour managers, record company types, cat whisperers, and the like. From my lofty perch I spied Jerusalem, lurker Cindy, and other regulars. I was pleased to chat with Paul from Los Angeles, on his home turf for the 4th night in a row. Great to see Peggy French as always. We were sorry to miss famed FF mavens Grumpymama and Stellabluee who were still illin’. The ghost of Stoger was felt throughout.
On to the Super Bowl.
That elevated plane night one just wasn’t enough for you, was it Tony–you had to go VIP night four, spotting the groundlings from on high. Good to know our foreign visitor stayed the course. I trust the “ghost[ly]” effect was more positive than negative. And as a son of the South, let me conclude: “go Falcons.”
