Good to see Lucinda's official site is almost as lousy with up to date info as the Stones one is!
Theres nothing about this on it at all, three weeks after the announcement in Rolling Stone. Plus I get e-mails from Lost Highway Records about their new releases on a regular basis, and they havent mentioned it either!
This album was actually meant to come out about 6 months ago, and the cover art was done and everything. Apparently, perfectionist that she is, she wasnt happy with the 'mastering' or something.
Despite what the article says, the recordings come not from last year, but from the 3 shows at the Fillmore in November 2003. I know a few of Lu's fans on here have all 3 shows on CDR and they'll agree that they are absolutely brilliant concerts. Its a bit odd that all but about 4 of the songs on it come from her last couple of albums, however, ie. albums released on Lost Highway. I guess the label dont want to release live versions of her older material before she signed with them, which is a pity as the three Fillmore shows showed a great cross section of material she has recorded down the years. |

Not only are they brilliant, their sound quality is fantastic!
When I first read your inital post about "Fillmore shows last year...", I glanced over at the discs and briefly wondered if the shows in question were those from '03...
Thanks for clarifying.

yeah well the original blurb on the postponed live album, scheduled for Sept 2004 was that it was from the Fillmore shows from November 2003, so no doubt its the same ones as I dont believe she played there again in 2004.
