[lucy-list] Lucy on the listening station ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 29 May 1999 10:31:31 +0100 From: John Middleton Subject: [lucy-list] The UK tour: Lucy plays Bristol Playing the wrong venue, staying in the wrong hotel, and with hardly any pre-concert promotion behind her, things were not looking good for Lucy. But Doctor K sprinkled some of her Lucy dust over the 70 or so people who managed to combine the persistence of Mulder and Scully with whatever got into Richard Dreyfus in Close Encounters of the Third Kind to make it to The Bristol Flyer last night. And she was absolutely brilliant - warm, open, accessible, charming (to the point that a member of the audience bought and delivered a drink to her mid-set when she mentioned that she was thirsty), funny, moving, and on great musical form. Lucy is still trying to build some kind of fan base in the UK and it is fair to say that most people there weren't that familiar with her stuff. Maybe for that reason she tended to stick to her core repertoire (Ten year night, The tide, Turn the lights back on, Good Night) with a couple of Cry3 tracks thrown in (Speaking with the Angel, By way of sorrow). Having said that, she gave us a wonderful version of Loudon Wainright's Swimming Song, and even performed a couple of her dad's songs - one called That's Mathematics (to the tune of That's Entertainment) and another that he wrote on his honeymoon on some kind of romance-in-space theme. We loved her. She said she would come back again. Next time, I know there will be a lot more people wanting to see her. That's all I have time for folks (desperately trying to re-arrange a bunch of weekend commitments to see if we can make it to the London show tonight). John P.S. Had a good chat with husband Rick at the end. Nice guy, who was carrying a camcorder around with him. Who knows, maybe one day we'll all get to see the UK Tour documentary! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 May 1999 17:47:10 +0100 From: John Middleton Subject: [lucy-list] Lucy live on CD? Now that I know how great Lucy is in concert, I was wondering if there are any live performances by Lucy available on CD?

None other than Ten Year Night, with a nice little blurb. It said something about how she influenced Shawn Colvin and you've heard her on John Gorka and Richard Shindell's discs, so why not try her new disc yourself. And since I can never pass up a chance to listen, had to pop on the headphones at least for the title track.
