Lucinda Williams Tickets

A wonderful night of song, story telling, and lo-fi film. Truly amazing to see and hear Lucinda revisit so much of her classic work, despite what she called her "temporary setback"which occurred 5 years ago. We felt privileged to be in the audience. It was a unique opportunity to meet Lucinda up close in a perfectly suited venue.

Lucinda Williams gave an astonishing performance. Her singing sounded very good, her stories were interesting and often funny, great retrospective of her career and engaging slideshow to tie it all together. She showed remarkable resilience, given her history of a stroke, playing over two hours straight with no break. It was a delight to see her looking and sounding so good. Overall, good experience.

Worst sound system at a concert ever. Great musicians but the sound was very bad. It is a shame. The theatre is so beautiful

The performance was very enjoyable. The band was exceptional. I did not realize Lucinda had a stroke a few years ago. She did a great job, however.

This was a remarkable show, a wonderful retrospective of her fascinating career. It was the third time I've seen her on stage since her stroke, and while her recovery is not yet complete, she's figured out how to do what she does best. Her voice is as strong as ever, her backing band is fantastic, and the videos behind her reveal everything that's gone into making her the icon she is.

I knew of Lucinda's stroke in 2020 and her road to recovery, most recently culminating with the release of her new album and book in 2023, followed by her current tour. However, it was quite sobering to see her helped out on stage to her seat, looking rather fragile. And since I had a front row seat, it was quite evident. She thanked the audience and alluded to her health issues by saying that she was currently unable to play the guitar, but hoped to do so soon. Lucinda alternated between standing and sitting through her over 2 hour/19 song performance. Although her body may have looked fragile, and she required physical assistance periodically throughout the show, her singing voice was anything but fragile. It was strong and she sang mostly solo, with backup harmonies from her superb band. In retrospect, I would have liked to hear her play the guitar, but her "replacements"were fantastic and likely exceeded her capabilities in mastery of the guitar. Her long-standing band - Stuart Mathis on guitar, David Sutton on bass, and Butch Norton on drums, was supplemented with Doug Pettibone on guitar, harmonica and pedal steel guitar. They were tight and enhanced each and every song. Lucinda introduced her songs with a background story, giving it perspective and depth. In addition, there were old video clips on a screen behind the band that provided a visual image to the era she wrote and sang about. The song that stuck out the most for me was "Little Angel, Little Brother,"where Doug's guitar work was reminiscent of Peter Green's early Fleetwood Mac wizardry. For her encore, Lucinda told of her upcoming album "Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road"(to be released December 6, 2024) with a treat of George Harrison's classic "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."Mathis simply killed the original Clapton guitar solos. Following the original version, and Prince's 2004 Roll Hall of Fame version, this is a super-strong 3rd favorite version and top favorite version for me personally witnessing it performed live. Lucinda closed the show with a fan favorite "Joy", thanked the audience profusely and was assisted off the stage. There are only a couple of negatives that I can offer. 1) The audience was extremely tame, politely clapping after each song, but never really offering Lucinda and her band to feed off the crowd's energy, because there really wasn't any. For example, after simply scrumtrulescent solos (whether it be guitar, drums, bass, pedal steel, or an extended vocal note or harmony), there was no appreciative applause mid-song; and 2) although I completely understand it, because many entertainers rely on it, even those much younger and not having suffered a stroke, Lucinda used a teleprompter for most, if not all of her songs. Although her voice was hypnotizing, it was a distraction to notice her eyes on the teleprompter rather than on the audience, or simply closed in the moment. All in all, a wonderful show that had me wanting more, leaving with a greater respect for her accomplishments and relishing in the story behind each of the timeless songs she had written and/or covered.

I’ve heard Lucinda before but this show was great. She told her life story in music and pictures. Though she can’t play guitar now due to her stroke, her voice is as good as ever and her band is AMAZING.

Lucinda's voice, deep, resonant, shot through with a depth that reached into my soul and blew my heart wide open. The story telling, the videos, tracking her musical journey, all of it was such a gift.. And the band, oh my, vibrational ecstasy. They have always been amazing. Great venue, just the right size to hold her giant sound and still be able to see the stage comfortably. I love you, Lu!

Lincoln theater is an excellent venue with great acoustics Lucinda was fabulous - voice still incredible & strong She doesn’t play the guitar for now she said but she had an absolutely incredible band backing her up Warm funny and often sad stories were shared that inspired her songs Go if you get the chance

Lu was excellent at the beautiful Chevalier Theatre. Her voice was strong and the passion was on full display. The band was also fantastic. Please come back to the area soon.
