“Reports from the road indicate that Williams is playing lots of recent stuff on her current U.S. tour, and that’s A-OK.. . Little Honey, from 2008, country-rocked * as hard as she ever has, while last year’s Blessed contained one of her bluesiest ballads in “Born to Be Loved.”

* interesting verb. . .[Unfortunately, this blurb listed the show for Wednesday the 8th, 24/48 hours too early. . .]

Picked this up today. Half way through and not sure what to think yet. Just glad I didn’t shell out the money for the blu ray.
Lucinda does a great job as does Willie and Kristofferson, but wow… It is hard to say anything good about the rest. Listening to Pat Monahan singing “It Ain’t Me Babe” made me want to turn off the dvd and throw it in the trash.
Ouch Parker, you’ve named my favorite Dylan song, bar none. The Amnesty Internatioal cover of it is pretty respectable, no? (forgotten which band)

Hi there all just want to say a huge thank you to stoger for the mentions in his post, I am the man from Australia and am still in wonder about catching lucinda the other night. Words are not enough to explain what it meant to be so far from home, yet meet total strangers, feel like they are old friends, share a common love of Lucinda’s talent and top it off with an amazing show. I must be in heaven? Fate works in the strangest of ways. Thank you to everyone we met the other night, I knew this trip was going to be amazing, but the experience of the other night will be pretty hard to top. Thanks again to all.
My pleasure, Dulux. Good people on this Forum, plus others met at shows who aren’t necessarily on the Forum. PaulfromLos Angeles definitely expects you to turn out for your countrywoman Kasey C this Saturday.
Meanwhile, we await west words’ posting from Bowery night two, with my slight addenda.

Egads — there’ve been no mentions of merchandising table personalities! Let’s hear who’s gracing the tables!
Yes, Lefty is right about Matt–who serves as kind of drum tech/emergency or assistant tour manager, and merch guru. Nice merch personality (as far as those of his gender go).
You make my job easy, west words. Peter and Denise from Australia were standing right up front, and yes I will pass the Kasey Chambers news along, Paul. They’ve probably seen her in arenas only.
No Rachel Ray sighting for me, but Jessie Malin and retinue were being escorted backstage by manager Overby at last glance, circa 12:30 a.m. Rhon, west words, and I were too tired to stay around further. My first visit to the BB, and I plan on not staying away this long for my second. Good company up front.
Amy Cook’s new record Summer Skin is now available at merch table. For the title track, song three of her opener last night, she was joined by one Butch Norton.
“Celebrated singer-songwriter LW hits NY for a four-night, two-borough stint celebrating last year’s Don Was produced LP Blessed, widely acclaimed as one of the benchmark releases of her acclaimed career. Austinite Amy Cooks plays the opening set each night, sharing songs from a star-studded forthcoming album, Summer Skin.”
–Time Out New YorkWere I able to find a copy of the Village Voice in any of the empty bins, I’d complete the critical quartet.
Good work Bob, Nancy, and our intrepid Tony. Hope you are back in the sun safely. That lyric book debacle sounds close to the “Copenhagen” proceedings a few shows back, though she knows “Righteously” pretty through and through I would imagine.
Just had the best omen imaginable upon exiting my Amtrak train at Penn Station, but will start a stream with that soon.
Lesbian couples? Lesbian couples? I thought Northampton was yet to come. Great stuff, Tony: was that “insane” woman half of a couple, or on her own? You and Doug might have gotten some action there. And yes, Tom Tracy is the best bouncer-fan I’ve ever met; just ask lafayette about the time an intrusive patron showed some undue muscle and vocal cords–the tn man took care of that situation.
Tour debuts for “Sweet Side,” “West,” and the Fats Domino cover: wow. The setlist overall was perhaps the most appealing of the whole run.
Here’s hoping the Northampton fans will get some down-n-dirty blues covers from those wizened Delta menfolk artists–and perhaps a Mattie Delaney or Memphis Minnie tune too!
“This folk and country talent was infamous for lingering between records at the start of her career–taking four, six, eight years at her leisure between albums. Though the momentum has picked up lately–only three years before her excellent most recent disc, “Blessed”. . .–what has not diminished is that she is worth the wait. With Amy Cook.”

Ah come on, Tony, I had you pegged through Northampton at least. Flight change? Tim on board for Saturday’s show?
Well, there was one song Butch came forward and sang on three or four tours ago, though I can’t remember which now. Someone must remember.
Alas, I have seen that “grim faced” walk-on, though usually it is not explained explicitly. Here’s to the the Big Orange bus and its technical recovery.

Courtesy of West Words Napa, CA show on 8/25/2010Side note – pay attention to Butch every once in a while. He is hilarious – singing along, holding a drum stick in his teeth, sticking his tongue out, etc., but we the audience are so focused on everything else, we don’t even notice.

WEll, I couldn’t click on the link, but I remember now that the song is “Something About…”, right?

At this point neither Tim nor I will be at the Northampton show. We may have a lack of reportage.
Who knows what U.S. President was once Mayor of Northampton, MA? The winner gets my extra ticket for tonight’s show in Portland. HINT: Think of the theater for the show.
Silent Cal Coolidge? If correct, I will take a rain check on a future free ticket.
thanks, Nancy. We look forward to your visual and verbal reports from Northampton, supplemented by Bob perhaps.

Great work,Tony. No tour debuts, but “huge changes” indeed: credit to Tom and Lu for shaking up the setlist for shows proximate to one another. Let’s hope that pedal steel sees some action night two, “Lake Charles” and/or “Ventura.” I feel sure you will drive straight to the venue and have cocktails galore with the Pepperidge Farms set tonight.
Tim, any add-ons?
