Neko Case Setlist – Variety Playhouse – Atlanta, GA – 4/2/09

Natalie (Sugar Magnolia) and I had the great honor of seeing Neko Case last night. Great show!  Sorry Hickory Wind, you missed a good one, but I would trade to be in St. Lucia any day. We miss you!

Case seemed very determined (even with some apprehension) to push Middle Cyclone, performing 12 of the 14 music tracks from the new album. And “Marais la nuit” even got an airing at the end of the night. This may or may not be welcoming news for die-hard fans, as I’m sure someone’s favorite “deep cut” (Case and backup singer Kelly Hogan’s banter had the crowd in laughter most of the night) was surely left out. But you can’t make everyone happy all of the time.  As Hogan said from the stage after someone called out a request, “Not going to happen.” Fortunately Middle Cyclone is filled with great songs and Case and here band put on a great performance. I just wish “Magpie” would have made it into the setlist, but I’m still happy.

Lucinda Williams Inspires Us

Mary Eadon (Hickory Wind) and I had the great fortune of catching Lucinda Williams at the Tabernacle in Atlanta this past Saturday. Excellent concert! The show is not the focus of this post, but catch this tour if you can. Towards the end of the night, between songs, Lucinda told the crowd that it came to her attention, once she got to Atlanta presumably, of the extra charges on the tickets for the show. $13.50! She said she was completely unaware of this and was not happy with this “gouging”. She went on to say something about the Live Nation/Ticktemaster “mafia”.
