Lucinda Williams live


A blistering live performance last night. One of the best live shows I've ever seen and the sound was great. Loud but not so loud I felt the need for hearing protection.

She stopped the band in the middle of the second song because she didn't like the mix - too much bass. Later in the show she played that song again so we'd get our "money's worth".

Still uses the songbook on a musical stand - as do all the band members. I was suprised at how hard she rocked. The lead guitar player was a monster - seemed like he was 7 feet tall!
Glad to hear Lucinda can put on a good show. My wife and I saw her on the last date of her tour a couple of years ago. She was exhausted, said so-we felt sorry for her, and the show was lackluster. Saw Beth Orton and she forgot her own lyrics. Kasey Chambers feinted on stage and fell off her stool but she was WAY pregnant. I still absolutely love all three and cherish their music.

Saw her in good form open a large venue for Neil Young, and rough and tired or lazy in a small theater as described by Bizango: forgetting lyrics and restarting songs with too many self-deprecating digressions. She's lucky to have a crackerjack band that balances her lack of varnish-- which after all is exactly what she is all about, and her core audience knows and loves this.
