and not just because it is an 8 minute train from my house
Missed him the first time but last time he was great, although was in the balcony with the wife.
Seen multiple Beacons, Bowrey ballrooms, College Street, really love the Cap

edit: ok Eccles will be awesome with Lucinda. They serve beer there these days?

I got tix and a cool cheap hotel room for the Bellingham date. Love the tiny venues. Makes for pricey tickets tho. Third tier seats (which will be fine in a 1500 seat building) were $80 plus fucking ticketmaster bullshit.

I thought it was with Shawn Colvin, but Lucinda could be fun if she is sober.

[oftpiste]

Shawn is on the bill in the PNW. Lucinda would be fun to see even if she ain't sober.

Remember when she played Red Butte gardens " still drunk from playing red Rocks last night with Neil Young: " ( her Words) an then played a smoking set.

I.mean thst was 15+ years ago, but...

I have seen both sides to that, one wasn’t particularly good. But the other was excellent, and she was definitely wasted.

I've never seen either live, but always wanted to see Lucinda.

Drift: MANY years ago I saw Jaco Pastorius with his band in a tiny auditorium on the UW campus. it was his birthday and he was hammered. And the show was terrific, if a little loose. It was fucking Jaco, so who cares.

The most drug addled show I ever saw was Red Hot Chili Peppers at a tiny club in London in 1988. Hillel was too whacked on smack to play, so Flea, Kiedis, and the drummer (?) tried to play the show with just drums and bass. They were all basically too wasted to pull it off, and quit mid-set. Hillel died of an overdose a day or two later in Amsterdam.
I was taping the show, and thought it might have novelty value, but it was basically unlistenable.

Seen em both before and both these shows were special. Sustained me through the no concert days

Was supposed to see Jaco in Syracuse in the early 80's. He was so drunk they wouldn't let him on the plane in NYC. They got another bass player and the band played. No refunds or anything

[rideit]

So, how do you find a fill-in Bass player, last minute, that happened to know all of Jaco’s chops?
That’s actually fairly impressive!

[half-fast]

They got a guy from a local/national act. He was no Jaco. Asked for a refund, but no dice

[oftpiste]

Might have been the same tour......

I count myself extremely fortunate to have seen him at all, and as fucked up as he was, it was pretty incredible.

goes without saying

[rideit]

I could picture a lot of incredible bass players in there own right saying “You want me to sub for who? No fucking way, maaan”
