Good question Stoger. I’m so popular. Fullbright plays Nashville on June 5 and memphis on 6/11.

Stoger, there was a line to buy special stuff that was onsale for record store day. Anyone could walk right in to shop and to see Lu do her DJ thing. Lu hung out and chatted and posed with many shoppers, including the brave souls from the website.
Lu selected about an hours worth of music she liked and brought the CDs down to the store and that was the music that we heard. I did not make a list. I remember and Eilen Jewell song, and a John Fullbright song. Maybe Tom will share the list.Good times at Amoeba today. Lots of people buying music but it is often crowded. It was a boiling hot day in Hollywood; 90 plus degrees. Lu spoke at the beginning about how she worked in a couple of record stores when she lived in LA way back when. Then they played her selections which started out slow but rocked towards the end. She spent the hour hanging out and talking to any one who wanted a chat. I bought 4 CDs myself; Laura Nyro, Fairport Convention, and a new Jimi Hendrix and a new live Gram Parsons CD.
Also making the scene were websiters Paul from Los Angeles, GrumpyMama, and insider TOverby. We rule, as always.
Lu and the Love Band did an in-store gig there just around the time World Without Tears was released. Not sure if I’m going as Saturday is a busy day around here. Stay tuned.
Club Nokia is a nice venue. I had been to the much larger Nokia Theater next door, but this was my first visit to the 2,000 seat venue. Large balcony overhanging the stage, comfortable chairs set up on the floor, with a very large bar (!) and standing area at the rear. I wasn’t really looking forward to seeing any of the performers other than Lu but everyone was awesome, especially CSN. Various other kids and unknowns also came out for a song each; Mr. Stoger is correct that I punted on all their names and song titles. I also do not know the names of the songs played by Chris Stills or Ryan Adams. 8 year old Oliver Stills played bongos throughout the night.
CSN’s current touring band performed all night as the house band, and the house sound was expertly provided by former Lu crew member Kev Madigan. He was nominated for an Oscar last year for sound on the most recent CSN DVD.
Lu belted out Joy, rocking out on her new electric guitar along with guitarists Stills, Shane Fontayne of CNS, and Jonathan Wilson. For What It’s Worth was excellent, Lu calling it one of her favorite songs. Lu surrendered the lead vocals to Stills near the end of the song. Stills guitar work was A+ excellent, singing less so. Apparently his hearing difficulties make it hard for him to hear himself sing. Too bad. He was a trooper last night. I saw some famous people but I don’t know their names. There was also a King’s game next door at the Staples Center, adding to the Saturday night madness.
Like Mr. Stoger, I was pleased to see my fellow websiters. Mr. Stoger gets a spirited salute from me for travelling all the way out here yesterday and going back home today!
Home at 12:40 am. Great show. 3 hours plus. Lu was great. Remarks tomorrow.

Some would say “dubious” would be an upgrade for me. 😳
