Lucinda Williams Uniondale Concert reviews
EC at the Forum 9/16/17
"Started with Jimmie Vaughan and the Tilt-A-Whirl Band for a short 40 minute set. Next up was Gary Clark Jr. - This was a slower moving set that was not too engaging. The Main Event- Lucinda Williams came out on the stage solo and strapped on his stratocastor while the remainder of the band ambled out in the following minutes. Really good show. Great blues band and he played 'Texas Flood' in memory of brother Stevie Ray. I was disappointed with the song selections and was glad when he was done. Best electric song was Cream's 'White Room' and best acoustic set song was 'Tears in Heaven'. Drawbacks- I don't like the acoustic version od 'Layla' and I wish that he would have included 'Sunshine of your Love' in the electric set like he did in New York. The set list was a collection of songs from most of his previous bands and solo performances that highlighted a 50 year career. If these are his last shows I'm glad to have attended. If there are more next year you bet I will be there again !!!!!"
