Thanks, after I posted that, I saw the other info. As we are rapidly approaching 9/23, I can’t find any ticket sale info. Not mentioned at Ticketmaster, First Avenue’s web site, or High Road Touring. And sure enough, I’m in the BWCA next week. I would LOVE to get tickets if anyone knows where…….
Any information on Minneapolis area shows? Nothing listed on this site or High Road touring site. Orpheum, State, Patages ? Thanks
Anyone know if she will squeeze in a Minneapolis date. Perhaps around the Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City run?
I picked up the Bayfield one for $15 at the show. I wish I could have had her sign it though. It’s already in a frame. I really like it.
This was my first time to Bayfield and the Big Top. I was excited to see Lu and band at a small 800 seat venue.
My wife and I left Minneapolis at 9:00 AM bound for Duluth and an early lunch at Fitger’s Brewpub. From Duluth we travelled through Superior and continued on Highway 13 to Bayfield. The drive from Superior to Bayfield along Lake Superior is beautiful with many scenic spots to stop and cool off.
We stayed in Bayfield, less than 3 miles from the venue.
Arriving at the Big Top, we went right to the merchandise tent and picked up the Print Mafia poster for the show. Nice job on the poster. Although it felt like entering a drive in movie, I appreciated being able to leave the venue and visit your vehicle.
The ringing of a bell signalled the beginning of music as everyone filed into the tent.
Our seats were dead center in the bleachers. I thought the sound was excellent. The crowd was much more enthusiastic than last year’s Duluth show where it appeared that noone new who Lucinda even was. Lucinda is such a presence on stage and I enjoyed the addition of another guitar player (Chet).
The show was rocking, which helped drown out a few people chatting outside the tent. It was disappointing that there were sound issues for the band and that they had to start and stop a few tunes. Overall I enjoyed the show just didn’t feel the connection between band and audience. The people around us certainly did not seem bored. Hopefully the foolish comments from a few did not upset Lu or the band.
Last year I was fortunate enough to meet Lu and Butch and have them sign my West record. Lu was tired and not available after this show.
I thought the venue was cool, as where the people and it was well worth the 250 mile road cruise. Brewpubs, wineries, beaches and Lucinda. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get much better. I can’t wait till next time. I’d do it again in a second…
