Fantastic news!
In which month will the sessions take place and is there any chance that this record will come out before the end of this new year 2008??
I met her last November after one of her shows in London. I decided to wait in front of the stage door. After some time Tom (at least I think it was him) came out and said that she wouldn’t pose for pictures and only sign one item because they would have to leave quite quickly. Then Lucinda came out and I didn’t dare to ask her for a picture. Some other people did and Lucinda was so warm and adorable that the said yes and posed for all of those who asked her. When it was my turn to sign, I gave her the CD’s I brought with me (I thought she would only sign one), then she took all of them and signed all of them. I then told her that I hope she would once perform in Switzerland and she said she might on her next tour…and guess what: She did her first ever Swiss concert last week in Basel!!! (By the way, did anyone meet her after the Basel show? It was ice cold outside and because Chuck Berry was on the stage after her, I deciced to stay inside the concert hall)
Lucinda really is a wonderful person!Just arrived back from Lucinda’s wonderful concert at the AVO Session in Basel.
The concert was not only transmitted live on Swiss Radio, but also recorded for Swiss television (there were 4 cameras) and will be broadcast some time in the future. Lucinda did not know about the television and so she was, at least in the beginning, very nervous. She also said that she was supposed not to talk in between songs (because of the recordings..), but hey, she did it anyway and I loved her explanations about the songs.
She played for 90 minutes as it was a festival with Chuck Berry performing after her set.
This was the setlist (maybe at parts not in the right order as I only wrote it down after and not during the show:)
She had an interesting set list, starting with songs from the LWalbum and then playing songs in chronological album order…-Passionate kisses (solo)
-Night’s too long (not quite sure about that one)
-Crescent city
-Sweet old world (My favourite song tonight, moved me to tears, wonderful version!!!)
-Pineola
-Lake Charles
-Car wheels on a gravel road
-Can’t let go
-Steal your love
-Essence
-Righteously
-Real Live Bleeding Fingers
-Unsuffer me
-West
-Overtime (This was an audience request)The crowd was very quiet in the beginning and then got louder during the evening. Lucinda thanked the audience for opening their hearts to her songs and she seemed really moved at the end, when she got flowers from the festival’s director.
A wonderful concert, no false start!
Peace, Love and Revolution…and LUCINDA FOREVER!!!!I will be there too 😆 and I am really looking forward to Lucindas concert (although I don’t really like the AVO Session festival, it is one of those festivals where the best seats are never sold but go to VIPs, sponsors, etc. for free and then they sit at their tables and don’t even applaud…) But I think it is Lucindas first ever concert in Switzerland and so I really have to be there, no matter where she plays. (I’ve seen her for the first time last November in London and it was a wonderful show…and after the show I briefly met her and sort of begged her to come to Switzerland on her next tour..and there she will be 😀
For those who can’t go to the show:
Swiss Radio DRS3 will broadcast the show LIVE between 8 pm and 9.30 pm Swiss time and you can also listen to it online at: www.drs3.ch
