Yeah Mike the setlist goes down multiple times over when you are absent. See you in Tucson? Especially good to see “People T” on list.
Nifty pun on “lieu”/”lu” Mike, but I figured you were bilingual, crossing into Canada and all. Billy Idol, really????????
Red ink would seem to be forthcoming, “Greenville” I think, plus one or two of the rockers maybe.

Of Note:
Lu took the stage solo (band joined in) at 9:15 and played until 11:20
Another great performance in my hometown..
The band, as Tom mentioned in the last thread does seem to be really “hitting on all cylinders”.. Man
I don’t believe I’ve ever been as blown away by them as last night. Lu, following an exceptional display went to introduce them individually, and ended up just saying.. “My Band”!!
Loved hearing the Fats Domino cover in the first (starting to get spoiled) encore!
As Tom also mentioned, Lu is “really getting inside Unsuffer Me” .. and tonight was no different…WOW!KBB update:
Kenneth Brain Band it turns out will not be joining Lu in the great white north due to what Kenneth described as
“record issues”.. They will be playing two local venues in Seattle instead (one planned, one impromptu) Also Lilly Mae who played with on the first night of Portland was sidelined the last couple shows due to what she whispered “I lost my voice..”Great show…
Another Great Review..
http://seattletimes.com/html/musicnightlife/2025673154_lucindawilliamsreviewxml.htmlEven your Freudian slips/typos are fine, Mike: Lu’s band has some “rogue” elements, but only she wears the “rouge.” And the boys in KBB (and the girl) may be pretty cerebral, but I think the surname is BrIAn, not “brain.”
Sorry to hear they won’t be opening all shows. And did we really get “Lake Charles” twice, first with full band?
I’m really not nitpicking, for your reports are great!
Nice work, Mike: quite a few future red-ink titles, including “Seeing Black”!!!!!!!!!!!! We’ll trust the “former boyfriend” element of Layton is correct, though it’s not a name I was familiar with. At any rate, thanks for the report.

Ha, I wonder if there was grinding/arguing about Lu and/or place jumping/beer throwing involved? Those were my experiences with fighting breaking out that I was involved in…Columbus, OH and Asheville, NC. Good times.
A non-Forum buddy of mine who was there mentioned the fight, but my preliminary theory about tonyg and grumpymama mixing it up up front was dispelled when he went on to say “two yuppies” were grappling. And yes, I was at the ASheville fight show, Lafayette.

Great report Mike! The Chet’s last name is Lyster. 😀
THE Chet indeed, former multi-instrumentalist for the band, including during the era of Lu’s wedding.
Good posting Mike.
I’m going to guess Ventura, Something W, Changed the Locks, Magnolia, and Rockin’. Does Facebook clarify?
No Facebook needed: a “little birdie” tells me I was right on the first two options, but nothing mellow in the encore, either “…World” or “mag.” Three rockers: Allmans, Lu Grammy, Neil.

Thanks so much for the update Tom. Glad to see the Lobero listed – such a nice venue.
Plan to hit as many local shows as I can, though my definition of “local” may very well be changing soon…Lobero tickets are on sale Saturday at noon PT by phone, perhaps earlier in the day online.

GrumpyMama is bummed out (not quite grumpy) about Fillmore change but I’ll be enjoying the city anyway. Tom, any chance of some LA date announcements soon? Otherwise I’m out of luck on the West Coast leg and I will definitely be living up to my nom de plume.
Get ready for some CA action on the weekend of Feb. 27–March 1, grumpy, including one place we’ve been to together. I am pretty sure an announcement will be forthcoming.
Excellent catch, ddinj: look for some Southern bridge shows between that and the Savannah Fest. Also, it looks like Sat. the 21st is the actual date, according to other thread here.
Nicely done.
A few addenda: The intro to “Drunken Angel” yielded the adjective “sardonic” to add to Blaze’s qualities.
Of Clyde Woodward of “Lake Charles” fame, Lu assured us all “you would really have liked him.”
In front of “Bus to Baton Rouge,” Lu said it evoked “some good memories, some not so good memories.”
“Hickory Wind” was full band, with David on the upright.

I had joined you in spirit as soon as you posted, Mr. S. I was pre-occupied with football all day yesterday and it took until this morning for me to come in here and post that.
I appreciate the fact that you corrected your posture for this show.
Ramrod straight throughout, you old SOB.
