Show Notes: Lucinda was not originally on the bill for this show, replacing Jason Isbell who pulled out in April (this show went on sale in October 2024), but she was a very fitting replacement, though I know a lot of people were disappointed she didn't do her own headlining show in Melbourne (just one in Sydney). A very appreciative crowd, many of who came especially to see Lucinda. A great concise set of tunes from a music legend, with an excellent band.

Recording Notes: Came out really well, I was in the sound sweet spot on the floor in front of the right speaker stack. A bit of audience noise every now and then (someone apologised for wanting to get past to their seat at one point), but nothing that's going to stop you from enjoying this one.
