wireless200

Buick 6 (which happens to be Lucinda’s band) played about 40 minutes. Show was supposed to start at 7 but started at 7:20 and they play until about 8:10. Lucinda started at 8:30 and basically finished before encore at 10:00. We heard the first part of the first encores song for a few minutes after 10 but had to leave due to the babysitter needing to be home by 10:30.

Overall a great concert. The Raleigh Memorial auditorium is great too. Lucinda said a couple of times how good the acoustics were. “I love the way the band sounds up here and the way my voices sounds.”

She didn’t play Righeously but no big deal. She seemed a little slow at first but got warmed up. I expect all us 40 and 50 somethings take a little longer to rev up these days. (Three Dog Night was like that when I saw them in the 80s.)

Every song was a litle better than the one before until about 45 minutes into it I was saying to myself “this is a great concert.”

She had a little patter between songs and talked briefly about the election but without being partisan. She’s for Obama but wasn’t pushing that angle. She was just wanting everyone to vote and talked about how she’d talked someone into voting that hadn’t planned to. Definitely not pushy. She has a real good friendly stage demeanor. My wife like the show and that made it all the better. regards, David
