    I look forward to catching this show at 20th Century. Many great venues on this tour. Perhaps the stoger can squeeze in Mercy Lounge in Nashville.

    Nashville? Nashville? Why wait until 2012? If I can sneak in around the 18+ stipulation lwj mentioned, I’m good for Proud Larry’s of Oxford, TONIGHT.

    Stoger, you could knock out 4 shows in less than a week! 😀

    Four? Hellfire man, how about eight over an eleven-day run?

    Yes I have confirmed the the previously stated Santa Ana show is actually at the Coach House in nearby San Juan Capistrano.

    Thanks, Tom: now for a Tennesseean to figure out California geography. . .

    Hey, what’s wrong with raucous Southern roadhouses, Paul? Since she’s moved to the North MIssissippi hill country, there’s a few jook/juke joints which Shannon might grace from time to time. May have to pass on the 31 December show, though–wish the Viper Room would reprise the 2010 feature. . .

    Got home from night 2 at 12:45. Tremendous show. In my top ten. Remarks after massive sleep. The setlist:

    Pineola
    Drunken Angel
    The Nights Too Long (for Paul)
    Lake Charles (for the author of this post)
    Stowaway in Your Heart
    Ventura
    World Without Tears (for Stella)
    Blue (for Tim)
    Born To Be Loved (A Stoger prediction)
    Blessed
    Still I Long For Your Kiss
    Real Live Bleeding Fingers and Broken Guitar Strings
    Essence
    Changed The Locks
    It’s Not My Cross To Bear
    Joy
    Honey Bee

    Encores:

    I Ain’t Got No Home In This World Anymore (Lu Solo) (Woody Guthrie)
    Factory (Springsteen)
    Marching The Hate Machines Into The Sun (Thievery Corp.)
    Bone of Contention
    Salt of The Earth (Jagger/Richards)
    Inner City Blues (Marvin Gaye)

    Ha ha, making me out an oracle for predicting “Born to Be Loved,” a staple of almost every (if not every) show this run, this year–thanks though Tony!

    And for your hospitality throughout, thanks Tony. Also great to see Tim, Liz, Etienne, Gerald and friend, Paul, Webmasta, Stella, and whoever I’ve forgotten. Ronee Blakely was in audience night two, not quite Jackson B fame perhaps, but watch that Altman film Nashville and buy her reissued record Welcome, cut in Muscle Shoals I think. Ah Barbara Jean, Barbara Jean. . .

    She announced the song as “Ain’t My Cross to Bear”, but I’m positive she sings “It’s Not” instead of “Ain’t”.

    Then again, I had wine spilled on the right half of my shirt, and it was running down my arm, so I may not be the best source of information.

    Er, I was on your left, wasn’t I Tony? Hope I wasn’t the jostler involved in this incident.. .

    Good job Tony: No evidence of your even using a teleprompting device to capture the list. You cleaned up Lu’ s grammar nicely on the Allman Bros song title too!

    The break was between “Get Right” and “Don’t Let the Devil Ride,” which worked well. In effect, the shorter “set two” was a reprise of the Occupy Wall St. political songs–all covers in this case. I saw this coming when a couple of usual encore tunes made it into the set proper. Kudos to TomO here, who was loitering back of house for much of the show.

    That curtain-dropping tableau revealing two members of Buick 6 was a happy start to things last night, though Butch exited after two songs and prompting Blake to plug his record title. Blake even got a request, extending his usual set nicely to encompass four originals not three, plus three great covers (Joe Tex; Bobby Charles; Lucinda Williams).

    Good to see webmasta, paul, tony, tim, and to meet the other half of the power Georgia-native sisterly Lu fan team, Liz. Go Bulldogs.

    Another night awaits, truly. And Jackson Browne made one hell of a quick exit during “Honeybee,” though he was intent and I’d like to think in thrall all the way up to it.

    I am getting excited about tonight and tomorrow night! Tim and I are going and I am bringing another friend tonight and a different friend tomorrow night. That’s pretty much everyone I know.

    I look forward to seeing all the Lunatics that will be in attendance!

    You don’t count me among those you know, Tony? How soon they forget West Hollywood cantinas and Orange County hangars. . .

    Here is the set from GJ -another great crowd. Ventura was not on the original set list but after a woman had been yelling for it after every song, Lucinda added it in after WWT–when it was over the woman then yelled out “Thank you”. Funny moment.

    Funny, thought Grand Junction was a landlocked kind of town according to all reports and that “Ventura” might next pop up again at El Rey, but persistence paid off for that surfer dude-tte, sounds like. Glad her second shout-out was “Thank you” rather than “Free Bird”. . .

    This one slid past my radar. Anybody have anything to offer on Ms. Lynne’s latest?

    No, but you should [re?]watch the movie Walk the Line, with SL doing a great turn as Johnny Cash’s mother!

    My elected legislators are there, Stoger. Doubt they made the show.

    Ha ha. Bet the one you voted for might have attended.

    Are you getting excited about the Fillmore shows? Will you slide down the coast and attend the El Rey shows?

    Amtrak California sliding, yes. Absolutely.
