She pulls this “curfew” thing everytime she’s on the east coast. In Boston she took the stage at 9:00. I thought for sure it would go to 11:00. She left the stage at 10:35; she could have played for another 25 minutes!
She should have taken the stage earlier. If Charlie played that long it was because she wasn’t ready. Curfew is no excuse.
Edge, it was the same with me in Boston. After the first six songs I really thought it was going to be one of those special shows. It was unreal. But I think when Charlie Louvin (who I really enjoyed!) came out, they somehow lost their momentum. The encore was kind of a downer with all the covers and then “Are You Down? (No pun intended) But it couldn’t compare to the version on Live At The Fillmore. I don’t know why she played it , and especially at that point in the show.
Right now, Ticketmaster is saying that tickets for that show will go on sale to the general public on August 17.
Thank you augwest for the posting from the Boston Herald. The only error the writer made is that he mentions that Doug played steel. He did not. I stayed for the whole show, many others left. The steel guitar was set up on stage but he didn’t play it.
I thought the same as you, dfw2010. It got over early, but when I counted the songs up I realized they had played 18. She probably talked a little less last night. I could see you people in front going crazy all night.No Lefty, we did not get “Blue”. It was a good show; Lucinda’s voice sounded great & the band was in terrific form. My only complaint was in the song selection. She did too many other peoples’ songs. Did five covers and left out alot of her great songs. Thought the encore portion was anti-climactic. Many people in the Pavilion were leaving throughout! Did not do “Righteously”, “Essence”, Bleeding Fingers”, etc. I think the audience wanted to rock more. Attendance was not bad; I would estimate around 3,000 in a 5,000 seat facility. Maybe she’s just getting tired of doing some of the same songs night after night. Really enjoyed Charlie Louvin. He came out in the middle of the show and did a duet on “When I Stop Dreaming” and he was great. Also stayed on for “Get Right With God”, but it was the worst version of it I’ve heard. Only did three songs from “West” and they were all great performances. Going for the five LA shows; that should be interesting. Setlist follows (May not be exact order).

Hey Lefty,
Thanks for the detailed reporting. Excellent job! Sounds like you had fun; seeing Doug and meeting Lucinda. The false starts can sometimes be unnerving. I’ve seen many of them caused by Lu having the capo on the wrong fret. Even though she’s played the song about a 1,000 times! Go figure. At least she gives it her all; can’t ask for much more than that. Looking forward to tonight in Boston.
I agree with you, Diss. She has been touring extensively since early March. The average show has been 1 3/4 hours long, which is a good length. I don’t think her voice would hold up if she did 2 or 2 1/2 shows every night. It looks like she is going to continue at least into October.
If the curfew is 11PM and she comes onstage at 9:15, she knows she’s not going to be playing any longer than that.Hi Lefty; the setlists were a bit different. She did the same 12 songs on both nights. I’ll give the Denver setlist first because it’s fresh in my mind.

Get Right With GodTwo fired up performances by Lucinda and the band. I was on vacation last week and was able to work both shows into my schedule. I can’t wait to see them in Boston next month. I just hope someone is planning to film a performance for a DVD. The Austin City Limits DVD is great, but it’s almost nine years old now. They seem to be firing on all cylinders now.
