Do we have a full setlist? And thanks for the Copenhagen one.

LWJ, is this thread still up? I couldn’t link onto it, either via here or by typing it out.
“‘Blue’ is just as beautiful as I had hoped”
This is identical, in both tntracy-speak and tn-tracy-assisted Google translation.

David Olney was the opener. He played about 45 minutes. He was really good. I chatted with he and Sergio after the show; they were both very nice. The show was very poorly attended. Maybe about 50 people sitting in a church with the music set up on the altar (of Christ). Many of the people were elderly church members and near death. Anne played an hour at most, maybe less. The Bessie Smith tune was played with a slide on her acoustic guitar. Hangman was played on a lap steel and Say Bye Bye on her red ukulele. The rest of the show was half acoustic and half electric.
I went to Breakfast at the IHOP next to the hotel around 9 this morning and John Prine walks in alone and is seated at the table across from me. He played at Cal Poly SLO last night. I decided not to bother him, unless my mere existence did. He had 3 eggs over easy, hash browns, toast with white bread, and coffee, not that I was paying any attention, but in the name of good reportage, and that of the publics right to know, I include that here.
I have to find a place to watch the Bruins-Rangers game this afternoon since the hotel doesn’t carry NBCSN, after which I will make the 30 mile trip to Paso Robles and wine country.
I meant ukulele instead of kazoo of course. Tony, I was too shy to approach John Prine in Nashville once; he was on sidewalk outside Rotier’s restaurant, having just emerged, as I prepared to enter. Can’t tell you his dietary choices, though I would have predicted whole wheat or rye this morn (isn’t “toast with white bread” a bit redundant 😀 )? As for the elderly parishioners/concertgoers, just be glad that’s finally a room in which the median age was lowered rather than raised after you entered it. And would this Aussie Catholic girl have bleeped a word out of “Stupid” if she had played it, a la what the Americana compilation record did to the version on Roll?
I’m at a place where I can’t get Tennis Channel or ESPN2 for the French Open, so I feel your sports pain.

Bitchin show from Anne tonight, the first of the Golden State Tour. David Olney, accompanied by Sergio Webb, opened and were also great. They are also from Nashville. Much colder up here than in my Ventura Country hang, good thing I brought a jacket. The setlist:
Empty Bed Blues (cover, Bessie Smith I think)
Milkman’s Daughter
Lonesome Child
Bright Light of Day
Spring Cleaning in the Wintertime *
Little White Cat *
Long Tall Story *
Voodoo Chile
HangmanSay Bye Bye
* From the new album being recorded while she is out here
I brought a friend who had never seen Anne. They want to go tomorrow too. I talked to Anne after the show with 2 fistfuls of drinks for us both, at which point she told me she gave up drinking a year and a half ago. Ruh roh.
Castoro Cellars tomorrow.
well done, tony: and more booze for you, look at it that way. Yes, the opener is a bessie smith tune with the lyric “My girlfriend Lu”–though I wrongly assumed anne had subbed that name on her live album version. IN fact, it’s original to the smith version. good to hear that three from the new project were done. maybe the kazoo was trotted out for the last tune? david Olney wrote one song covered by emmylou on wrecking ball; I have seen him in a Jackson house concert. good times–and may we follow this tour vicariously via you.
thank you for this, lwj. His latest blog said the pause was for a “moment” but the full friday account elaborates. I don’t find it necessarily “fishy,” but let’s just be glad it was temporary and physiological, apparently, as opposed to a long-term emotional thing. Not that any such event is to be brushed off and ignored. Stay well, Lucinda.

I want to ask this as sensitively and non-glibly as I can: what does that last sentence mean? And how can that be gleaned from a setlist, without access to a firsthand report? Thanks, though, for posting, lwj.

Lucinda Williams finds crass from the stage that it was some time before she got a record deal because she constantly fell down into the gap between rock and country. There, she finds herself still and embedded with a little soul, blues and gospel music is of course a perfectly good place to be.
With good game mood and two eminent musicians, Doug Pettibone on guitar and David Sutton on bass, and not least with a handful of newly written songs, she takes an gig at Pustervik. The first song, Passionate kisses, feels more like a way to get started but the trio will soon find their feet. Can not let go and Lost it done with a knixigt turn and Drunken Angel is just so sad and beautiful as you want it to be.
With grandfathers were Methodist preachers, and with the musical roots of predecessors and colleagues as well as Lucinda Williams does not shrink from life’s dark side is all songs about sin and forgiveness, anger, and sorrow, passion and resignation. But all the time with pride as scarlet benchmark.
Fruits of labor is extremely good and the new When I look at the world penetrates the soul away raspigheten in Lucinda Williams voice. Towards the end of the evening, the band pulls up the volume and Williams hanging on to the electric guitar in the equally new Something wicked this way comes, (title borrowed from Macbeth). David Sutton hit with fist against the back of the instrument. No, you really miss not a drummer, this trio manages all shades. The Honeybee lets you through the blues turns into clean, frame grunge and where the gap is filled with even more content. In Joy, which she gave to Bettye Lavette, and Changed the locks are Williams overridden cursed only to deepen the feelings deep in the delta of the Covern Hard time killing floor blues.
The evening ends with Nick Drake’s River Man and utterly chilling version of Hank Williams Cold, Cold Heart. As we saunter into Friday night, it’s not just the heat that makes it feel like to Gothenburg for a little while turned into Baton Rouge.
