The gentleman that procured this set list allowed a few of us to take pictures.
Thanks, Lafayette, though the list is wildly inaccurate, “Jackson” and “Sweet” being properly in the Lu column and “When I Look at the World” miswritten. But now I remember the Van Zandt and J Cash covers, which were wonderful at end.
Thanks for filling in some blanks, Viv. I deliberately stayed casual and minimal with #3 and #4, though no one seems of yet to be clamoring for new song details. Viv and Lafayette, help me remember the other covers at end of evening; I know Rosanne did a great “North Country Girl” in her round. Yes, the emotion from Lu was palpable. It was a wonderful evening.
Six songs from our Lu:
1 Sweet Old World {LU accuses herself of “messing up” afterward and not having let Emmylou come in at the right time, to which Rosanne said “they didn’t notice”]
2 Jackson [appparently a demo exists with Emmylou’s voice on this–Lu sheepishly reports she replaced her at last minute with Jim Lauderdale]
3 The Ghost of Highway 20
4 Untitled [“heaven, , ,”]
5 When I Look at the World

Matt and Doug yes. With Phil Parlapiano and Taras and others.
Matt Blake killed it. His songs were great. 😀
Edit: Phil P. is on tour with Iron Butterfly!
Holy crap: Phil P was part of the first Lu band I ever saw live, May ’01. Of course the T-man was too. Richard Thompson on hiatus? I sure hope Taras is still a member of the Electric Trio.

Alas, stoger, no Kenny Vaughan guest appearance last night… The guitarist is John Levanthal and the bassist is in Rosanne’s band, I believe (can’t remember the name). Also, Mike, when I clicked through the YouTube you posted, I came across one of Tony Joe White and the Foo Fighters! You know Tony Joe is the man when he makes Dave Grohl look like a total child poseur (no disrespect because I am a Dave Grohl/Foo fan): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH6ZoBcW9fc
fair enough, Viv: JL had that “shaggy dog” look which I love about KV; I don’t think Marty Stuart is touring, so it could have been Vaughan in Nash. But I trust your call on this.

…and here is the visual you sent, Viv. Always happy to help!
I’m on my way to Nashville…so excited for tonight!
that’s freakin’ Kenny Vaughan back there in the photo, no?

Tonight was Rosanne Cash’s first show as Artist In Residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame, and Lu made a guest appearance. If anyone has a chance to catch Rosanne’s current show doing The River and The Thread in its entirety, it’s worthwhile. Lu joined in the second half and Rosanne gave her a glowing introduction. Referring to their friendship of 25 years (“Life is short, you need to play with girlfriends!”) and saying how Lu is an inspiration for her consistently high standards and quality songwriting. Lu did Something About What Happens When We Talk, which Rosanne said is one of her favorite Lu songs. Rosanne’s husband, John Leventhal, did a nice job on guitar. And Lu played Rosanne’s guitar… I’ve never seen that before. Then Tony Joe White did a blistering version of Polk Salad Annie. He’s a bad-ass, boss mofo. He is just cooler than the rest of us. It was incredibly special to hear such an iconic song live. Looking forward to tomorrow night! Viv
“Polk” as opposed to “Poke”–right on Viv!

Or at Molly Malones last night!
Great report! 😀
Who graced Molly’s, Tony? Matt and Doug?

Periscope is an app recently bought and then launched by Twitter..
It basically lets anyone with the app on their phone broadcast or “live stream” anything.. utilizing the camera on the device. People who follow on Twitter get a notice when the person goes live with something.. and then you can watch.I became kind of addicted to it during the recent Stones tour.. the shows I couldn’t go to I could watch live on my computer and even pick which “camera” to watch as there were many to choose from as the app became more popular as the tour rolled on. Mixed feelings about it though, as I am not one who enjoys people holding up cell phones at concerts… A large stadium show is one thing.. but a smaller inside venue not so much.. Also wonder how welcome it is by the artists as I could see it affecting ticket sales and making bootlegs etc.
Very cool technology though.. especially for behind the scenes stuff like the studio footage..
thanks for scoop, Mike. Your phrase “anyone with the app on their phone” ruled me out definitively early in the paragraph, but happy periscoping.

Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and the last show will be Milwaukee. In fact that will be the last US show for quite awhile.
thanks for confirming, though the news of tour-end is sad and the weeknight shows are tough for me. Still, the fall will bring its Lu blessings. Drink plenty of PBR at the finale venue, appropriately.

Would love to see her give Pittsburgh native Joe Grushecky a guest spot.
Just got an email on this myself, unfortunately midweek–but proof the tour goes on beyond Poughkeepsie. Tom, will Pitt be the finale? Hope not.

I warned Stoger that he should come to Phoenix. I think he’s taking the decision to skip those shows a little hard. He hasn’t gone this silent since the beginning of time.
Back at you, boys. Quite a tour finale, to be sure. “brofessioinal” is the only coinage I caught, but I should read it again. I’ll have to make up for my Phoenix absences come the fall. So welcome in advance to Tennessee (not the rural part) Tom and Lu, as September dawns. Hate to see you leave for Canada after less than a month in our Volunteer State. Work the bus thing, we got some urban bus locales in these parts too. And visuals of Redd Foxx will not go unnoticed.
