Lucinda Williams Fans?

I've been a big fan for more than 10 years. Lucinda is a truely unique talent and a bit of an acquired taste.

I saw her in the fall of 2003 and I was against the front barrier about 20 ft directly in front of her. The show started out very slow and I was less than impressed. During the second song, a photographer snapped a flash picture from the pit and Lucinda stopped and gave him some major $hit! It was awesome. Immediately after that, she wicked it up a couple of notches and the show was fantastic. It seemed like she needed some catalyst to get her pumped up.

Talking about an artist that wears her emotion on her sleeve........That's Lucinda.

Saw Lucinda Williams Sept 12, 2001, the day after 9/11. I'd been listening to her albums for a couple of years. The thing that impressed me about the show is how hard she rocks! Two guitars and wall of sound. She was not at all reticent, talked about wondering whether she should do the show, and her fear that we were going to end up fighting the wrong enemy. She did a soulful version of Dylan's "Masters of War". A great concert.

jadem6 i take it u live in the cities? I do - i should check out that show, if it's not sold out. where did u get tix?

Ehart,

I agree. She rocks hard. I saw the "World Without Tears" tour and I was absolutely stunned at the quality (and quantity) of the guitar player on that stage. Amazing! Also, once that idiot photographer "broke the ice", Lucinda really opened up to the crowd. I think she talked to the crowd between just about every number.

Enjoy,

The great shows were when she still lived in Austin and was playing locally a lot with her band. It was one of the greatest bands I have ever seen live. I am really lucky to have had Gurf Morlix play on my last record (he was her long time guitar player and produced (IMHO) her best stuff). She still usually tours with a good band, but the early-mid '90's stuff was unbelievable live.
