Thought it was amazing for most of the show.

Started fantastic. Buick 6 may be the best backing band she’s ever played with, although I wasn’t keen on their opening, instrumental set, until they sang Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl”. Great musicians, just not keen on jam bands.

Lucinda’s set was going great until she attempted to play “Those Three Days”.

Just like “Jailhouse Tears” was a stumbling block a couple weeks ago, “Those Three Days” tripped her up. She couldn’t get the vocal tempo right, stopped and started three times before finally giving up and moving onto the next song.

Unfortunately, unlike a couple weeks ago where she was able to rebound after a brief meltdown, she really didn’t regain the momentum for about 30 minutes.

“Changed the Locks” was a casualty…sounded like she just wanted to get through it in record time.

She finally regained the momentum with a good version of “Joy”.

For the encore, she brought out Tony Glover to play for three songs. Lucinda kept talking about how influential those “Koerner, Ray, and Glover” records were.

She said to Tony, “We should make some records together sometime”.

I really felt like I was witnessing something special.

For those of you unfamiliar with Tony Glover, watch the Scorsese Dylan documentary, “No Direction Home”. He is featured throughout the film.
