lucinda williams live

ThomasE,

I too saw Lucinda in 2003 on the front row, against the barrier at Cincinnati's awesome Tall Stacks Festival. It was one of the best shows of my life, and I've seen a lot of shows.....

The show started out a bit odd, with Lucinda actually stopping midway through the first number to scold a flash camera photographer. She seemed a bit out of sorts at first, but as things warmed up, WOW, What a show! Unbelievably personal in her delivery and a really gut wrenching performance.

BTW, I saw Steve Earle at the same show, and all I can say is "That dude can ROCK!" Really incredible stuff. Saw Jayhawks, Nickel Creek and Los Lobos at that same show too. All for $10!!!!!! Cincinnati's Tall Stacks Festival may well be the best value in music today. Of course that is only if you enjoy Roots, Americana, Blues, BlueGrass, real R&B and the like....

Enjoy,

TIC

ive seen steve earle at 2 different farm aid concerts and ive also seen him in the front row 3 times at small clubs in rochester,cleveland and buffalo,he is one of my favorite artists to say the least and a really nice guy to boot,i took some really nice pictures of him in rochester ny a few years ago and i had some 8X10's made up and he signed them all for me when i saw him in cleveland on the next tour,to see him and lucinda at the same show would be a dream come true for me

Chris, there's a very strong rumour she's playing at ACL-fest this year.

A side note--Lucinda's father is Miller Williams, a fairly well-known poet and translator who read at Clinton's second inauguration.

I too just saw her at the center for the arts at UB Wed night she was incredible as was the opening act of Carrie Rodriguez simply a great show.
