It was Dead Dog, Stoger. What was the song wher he sang “I’m Sorry I Fucked Up” over and over?
Oops. Guess the censor module ain’t workin either.
You know how you’re driving down the freeway and some jackass about 3 cars in front of you cuts madly across 5 lanes of traffic to take an exit he almost missed, leaving the freeway sideways with sparks flying? That was me last night, getting off the 101 at California Street. Sorry.
After a quiet dinner at Watermark, happy to be still alive, we moseyed on over the the Ventura Theater at 6:45 and the doors had already been opened, the crowd filed in. I scored 2 seats in the non-vip section on a riser overlooking the entire seating area, really a nice seat just not too close to the stage. Close to the bar? Yes. I spied West Words and Stoger sitting right at the foot of the stage where the dinner tables were so I expect we will have up close and personal reports from them. GrumpyMama was also stagefront and I was pleased to meet her later. Thx for the drink!
Blake’s set was short and sweet, leaving you wanting more. Isn’t that the perfect opening set? Danielle Haim accompanied on percussion. I will leave his set list to Stoger.
Lucinda hit the stage at 8:52, looking fabulous and seemed to be in great spirits. Her voice was excellent. I like her guitar playing and in the duo format I could hear her guitar as clear as a bell.
She dedicated Kiss for Your Kiss to newly married Doug Pettibone and Liz but it still did not dawn on me that the extra amp on the stage was Doug’s. I tried live blogging but my fat fingers on my little iphone impaired by wine and the constant need to sign in every 2 seconds made me abandon that. The crowd was light at first but by showtime we had a good crowd and the balcony was open as well. Several people shouted out Happy Birthday to Lu, her birthday being Thursday.Doug Pettibone joined Lu and Blake for Joy and Get Right With God and he was great as always. Danielle Haim also returned for percussion. Lu did something I have never seen before and exited the stage during Get Right With God, waving as she left. Like Elvis. The show was over at 11:12.
When we hit the side walk for schmoozing we realized that Lu’s quick getaway meant she was already on the bus, locked up and shut down. No chit chat. Bleh.
It was great to see Stoger, Paul From Los Angeles, West Words, Cindy, GrumpyMama, Doug, Liz, Tom O., and our famed Webmasta Ralph. Have fun in Solana Beach.
