Lest anyone get the wrong idea, “Burning Bridges” is hardly “plaintive.” It belongs right in with the run of rockers where it’s been played of late.
No visuals, only verbals, for me .. .
1 Can’t Let Go [Lu’s vocals come through for about 2/3 of the song: soundman Mark later takes the fall for this]
2 Metal Firecracker [after which Lu motions to monitors guy Corey and mouths something about “more round up here”]
3 Greenville
4 Drunken Angel {Corey comes on-stage after for a consultation; Lu can be heard talking about “from the back”]
5 Cold Day in Hell
6 Something About What Happens When We Talk
7 Compassion
8 Lake Charles
9 Bus to BAton Rouge
10 Are You Alright [tour debut]
11 Blessed
12 Are You Down
13 Something Wicked…[before which Lu comments on the stained glass and says she likes to play churches, also that the upcoming song is “appropriate” in this setting: all this makes one think of the Shedd in Eugene, the (now defunct?) Tabernacle in Atlanta, and the venue in Berlin which I think is still consecrated as a place of worship]
14 Burning Bridges
15 Out of Touch
16 Essence
17 Righteously
18 Honeybee
______________________________________________________19 Passionate Kisses
20 Magnolia
21 Keep on Rockin in …not bad for a “Joy”-less, “God”-less night of songs, eh?

Great setlist and report! I assume number 14 was a new one????
An oldie, lafayette–I just temporarily forgot! See edited list.

Great set list, It’s such a treat to have very timely on the scene reports from you stoger.
Must be you front and centre.
Also, re:song # 8 “It’s Gonna Rain”, a song with the same title is on Amy Cook’s album “Summer Skin”
Here she is from 2012 opening for Lu. What a coincidence.http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Lucinda+Williams+song+It’a+gonna+rain&docid=608039649843216973&mid=48B59D64B4F0299D3C1048B59D64B4F0299D3C10&view=detail&FORM=VIRE4#view=detail&mid=48B59D64B4F0299D3C1048B59D64B4F0299D3C10

I’m afraid I see nothing but females “front and centre,” lwj–but thanks for the shout-out.
[Lu mentions Pearly Brown and Flannery O’Connor upon walk-on]
Can’t Let Go
Car Wheels
Metal Firecracker
Crescent City [“another of my home towns”]
Drunken Angel

2 Kool… [with elaborations on both photographers, Adams’ home of eastern KY and Imes’ relation to Junior Kimbrough’s juke joint]
Blessed
Foolishness [followed by “I had to get that out of my system” and “it’s a small song”]
Everything But the Truth [no “Change” word in the title!]
Something Wicked…
Burning Bridges
Changed the Locks
…Cross to Bear
Atonement
Essence {Lu mentions her father taught her “never to censor yourself”]

Rockin’ in the Free WI think all this is accurate. Sure wish others would step up and supplement. . .
ha ha: tour debuts indeed–but with a spiritual dimension too of course. Tom, how about BOTH “Everything Has Changed” and “Everything but the Truth” tonight?
Nice work, ww: I guess you mean “When I look at the World” was never played, rather than “Abandoned” being substituted for it. Now THAT would have been a tour debut!! But we can count the Petty song as that, glad you got it.
Yeah, I’d be hard pressed to rank The Virgin Mary, my wife, and Lucinda, if asked. But as a Protestant divorcee/bachelor at moment, the choice is pretty straightforward. . . .
Well, I’m willing to acknowledge that journalists don’t craft their own headlines so was prepared to give the guy a pass, but upon second reading all that about “whiney sing-song” voice followed by “strong voice” a couple of paragraphs later doesn’t wash.
So Lu played “Something About What Happens When We Talk” in Clearwater?!? Sweet.

Good god.Pretty unbelievable that that show would be called “outlaw country”- or any kind of country (is there an in-law country also?). There wasn’t anything about that set that would beg that description. Hard to take issue with a positive review but I find that kind of writing lazy, un knowledgable and complete mis-information, which ends up being unfair to the artist. Outlaw country by the truest definition was Waylon and Willie (and the boys) – and by my recollection Lucinda didn’t exactly do a cover of Luckenbach, Texas. I guess at this point, Lu could do a whole show of Metallica songs and it would still get called outlaw country. I’ll bet the fantastic sold out audience didn’t even realize that they were at an outlaw country show until they read it today.
There’s my Sunday afternoon bus rant.
Last night WAS a great example of an audience that really connected and lifted up Lu and the band from note one- she was talking about how great that was. Thanks Clearwater for a great night.Rant on, bro! And a setlist from the middle FL gig would not go unread.
Aracari girl, hope you will post the Ponte Verde setlist–and you may as well go to Clearwater too, eh?
Lafayette, my thanks too for the sleuthing.
LWJ, it is with mixed feelings that I report Lillie Mae’s absence on this whole tour. But I call the following an excused absence: she is rehearsing in Nash with Jack White for his upcoming tour. I believe the off-night between Charleston and Charlotte will find White and Band playing in the area, so KBB members are on the guest list, as I understand it.
Good to see “Blue” as a tour debut, maybe “Overtime” too, though I’ve forgotten my own recent lists. “Sweet Old World” would have been fine too. That was an ambitious encore list, probably never realistic that all of those would have been played.

The key Lu received from city of Lake Charles, as posted on her FB page.
Wow. Your visuals and your verbals are always a treat on this Forum, Lafayette: Keep it up!
Yes, I believe Santa Cruz, CA is the other city Lu can claim the key to.
Thanks for the info, Frank, on the mayor’s name and the great Sen. Reid story. “West” was an oddity that night, but I was glad to hear it. “Blessed” and “The Night’s Too Long” and “Compassion” were unexpected too, wondrous. Keep us posted on these Lafayette (the city, not the pen Forum name) shows coming up.
