So the story goes that our Miss Lucinda being more than a little dismayed by the lackluster response to her truly remarkable studio release WORLD WITHOUT TEARS, decided to record a live album containing all but three of the songs from that work. Forcing critics & fans alike to take another look at those songs. I don't know if the tactic has really swayed public opinion in that regard, but the resulting live material is a blistering, soulful package nonetheless. The slight crack in her plaintive delivery on "Fruits Of My Labor" just makes my knees buckle. She always has a band behind her that means business and one listen to the thunder they bring on "Joy" you'll see what a nasty business that is. I often laugh when I read descriptions of Lucinda's voice as "sweet". If you mean the whiskey-soaked, smoky, pissed-off strains she displays on "Changed The Locks" & "Pineola" then I'll stop taking my coffee black. Speaking of sweet..."Sweet Side" really comes alive here & "Righteously" comes off even sexier when she's seducing the entire Fillmore crowd. As far as her intent? Luci, you're preaching to the choir with me. That being said though, there are songs I'm missing here like "Passionate Kisses", "Drunken Angel", & "Something About What Happens When We Talk". Those omissions are the only reason this is lacking a fifth star.

I purchased this CD by mistake. Lucinda did a marvelous live concert song that I thought was on this disc. Unfortunately, this show was recorded during her "torturing a drunk cat" singing phase. This work is only for diehard Lucinda fans who think she can do no wrong.

I've never really been a big fan of Lucinda but wanted to give this Fillmore release a chance. Glad I did.
She delivers each song from the soul and she's surrounded by a great band. I won't say this is a lot of fun to listen to - you sort of go through experiences with her - but she may be one of the best story tellers out there and each of these performances tells us a little more about this fantastic singer.
And for those who haven't listened to much of her music this isn't straight country. There are jazz and rock sounds going on here.
This is a nice release that's well worth the money.

This is a good live recording, but owning better live bootlegs of hers, and having attended better concerts of hers makes me wonder who decided what got put in this release and why? It took me a long time to shell out the bucks for this, and had I read the reviews on Amazon first, I probably would have spent the money on something else. Lucinda still makes me weak in the knees and I'll still buy the studio stuff and certainly keep going to the shows. The Fillmore might be legendary, but her performances in Houston far exceed what transpired on these San Francisco nights.

When I first heard "Change the Locks", I could not believe my ears. This is one of the most thrilling live recordings I've ever heard. Yeah, her singing is raw and yet you can hear every syllable. Just the way she sings "change-the...CAAAARRRRRRR I drive" blows my socks off.
So angry and yet so...so...sexy...And those dueling, twisting, bending guitars. Keith Richards would be proud. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
