lucinda williams live

has anyone seen lucinda williams on her current tour,i took my wife and 9 year old daughter to see her last night at the university of buffalo center for the arts,we had second row tickets and wonderful view of lucinda all night,she played about 17-18 songs and it was a nice mix of her material,after the 1st song she said that the room sounded great,i thought it was one of the best sounding rooms ive seen someone in,she talked to the crowd a lot in between songs and she seemed to be in very good spirits and having a lot of fun,she has 9 dates left on the tour and is columbus ohio on fri night,i am trying to convince my wife that we should go since its only 3 hours away and its a general admission venue and we could see her in the front row this time but she says no,so i guess im waiting for the next tour to see her again

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,
