Lucinda Williams - AVO Session, Basel, 13-11-2007 

Well, I'll say it again, the best vocal performance I've ever heard by a female vocalist was this lady right here. Lucinda killed it, she did seem a bit insecure, and needed reassurance from her band mates from time to time, but she delivered on every tune, and to my way of thinking, she is the female analog to Bob Dylan. Lucinda is a true song-smith and a real troubadour! Love ya, girl!

Lucinda rolls with the best guitar guys.

I just love the raw sound of her voice… Hold the sound enhancing technology ….this girl has it all on her own….❤️

When I did a deep dive before there was, I found Ms. Williams and she delivered ❤🎉😊

One of the great songwriters and artist. It's a shame she isn't more well known and appreciated. Same as John Prine. But that's the price you pay for not appealing to the lowest common denominator. Love you Lucinda. ❤

Lucinda Williams , simply the truth...

She doesn’t get the recognition she deserves. Country at its best.

Perfect set. All my LW faves

The greatest female singer songwriter of all time. She casts a magical spell over her audience. I have seen her perform live twice. We love you Lucinda.

love Lou’s essence!!!! what a. magnificent songwriter. I can see it all in my head… those enduring stories!!!❤

💛 LUCINDA, can't wait to see her in May '23 , let her genius wash over me 💛

I had the privilege of seeing her live a month ago. She’s on tour now, don’t miss the experience of seeing her live. She and her band are phenomenal! Love you Lucinda! As she said, “ the PEOPLE have the POWER.”

This woman is pure gold for the world. She has so many great albums, especiallly the later ones. She is like fine wine.

Every song is fantastic ❤

she was in top form here! timeless songs

You can never go wrong if you tune in to live performance by Lucinda and her band.

She’s a genius and real!

Lord knows this whole album has an awesome essence ❣️‼️

I love you Lucinda.

Lucinda always has the best musicians to surround her and enhance/improve/perfect her incredible sound and songs.

This is peak form for both Lu and the band, brilliant!

I can't think of any female artist that has moved me (or male) this way.

WOW ! love Lu Love her band love her lyrics so much !

Just AWESOME concert footage. Only found it recently and what a diverse set. She covered all ground and then some-songs I’ve never seen/heard her perform live. She was SO rock and roll but the audience looks like they belong at DAVOS, not a raw Lucinda performance!

Love this stuff. Always have since I first heard her. She gets such great people backing her up.

That's gotta be the saddest song I ever heard.also one of the best songs I ever heard. Brings a tear to a glass eye.

Lu's the best, an American treasure.

Such a beautiful touching voice, and words and stories. Great musicians. Adults in their prime.

She's fantastic

Phenomenal Woman!!!!! Incredible songwriter, singer, love to watch her perform. Thanks Lucinda Love on Ya! And the Band is Fantastic! All of Yas!

Top of her game

BRAVO....❤

I love Lucy! Saw her twice, so good! She can't play guitar anymore but can still sing and rock!!!

So Great. So unknown and unappreciated. Deep soul. So talented. Fantastic musicians. What else could you ask for. Also, to me sultry and sexy. Be well Lucinda. Your music has meant so much to me. ❤❤

So beautiful ❤️

Lucinda is beautiful and amazing❤ her band is perfect

Keep killing it Lucinda and Ray Kennedy. Great work and very Needed. Not easy, doing what is right never is.

Bitter sweet. Great song writing. Amazing vocal!

She's amazing and this band is fantastic

Beautiful!

... Lovin' This!!💘 ...

Sweetest song ever sung

Tomorrow is Easter 2021. I really needed this tonight. When all else fails Lucinda comes through. Thank you so much for posting. Gail in Central Florida April 3, 2021.

huge fan of Lucinda.... one of my bandmates has become a fan too and covering her songs is a highlight of our weekly jam. Lucinda is the great thing happened to me in a long long time. ty kid...beautiful songs

Amazing - read about her visiting the Barbican so just listening to her and totally blown away. Never heard of her before.

This is great!

Спасибо!

Cool!

oh that audience !!!! . I think they were expecting a classical concert 🤣

maravilha...

Pretty good

She's the best i like her from the first record

Amazing set. Thanks so much for posting, she's such a national treasure. Sweet Old World as an opener is Beyond Poignant, followed by Pineola, perhaps a prequel to SWO. The drippy audience applauds politely, some may have limited English, missing subtleties, others Euros present i suspect can't relate or do not care to relate to Lucinda's raw, unvarnished, very American emotions. Bet it was a hard set for Lucinda to get through, she gets so much more emotion, connection, positive energy from her 'normal' audience. Basel Switzerland certainly not her 'normal' audience.

That is a really fancy dressed audience. I never looked that good when I went to see her...

I love the song 'You don't have to prove your manhood constantly...'! I don't know the name of it though.

👍😊

It is Thanksgiving day 2021. Making a few air fryer wings and a steak for a friend of mine. We ear turkey and ham all year long. So what else do you need to put on to make it a great morning cooking experience for the afternoon based? Well Lu of course. Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Be safe. be blessed . be careful.

She is one of my favorite musicians on the planet. She admires the likes of Dylan, ZZ Top, and Neil Young. But she’s much better than they are I think (though out of these Young is pretty much her only equal). There is a hurt to her face and a wonderful storyteller’s magic, all the more amazing considering how simple and relatable her lyrics are. Her sound may be rooted in country, but she’s definitely rock n roll in the best possible way. She puts on a mean live show as well. She’s probably the most generous giving performer I’ve seen. I’m probably judging without a shred of evidence but part of me thinks her husband/manager exploits her and pushes her too hard. Ever since they got together she hasn’t stopped to take a breath. She used to pace herself between albums, and tour less vigorously, I hope I’m wrong.

✌🏽🇺🇦🙏

Could we have the entire concert interpretation

@13:19 "Car Wheels On The Gravel Road"

I am going to tell you something, I put in a conscious effort to draw attention to artists that I appreciate and have loved their work for years and how did they return the favor? By trying to take me out. She gets FLUSHED 2.

Guitarists are doppelgangers.

This show in Switherland?

Thank you, could you please list the musicians.

Is she wearing bell bottems ? I didn't think they made them anymore. I like her whatever she wears.

Where has she been?!!

Not bad

Stuart Mathis could not make it that day so they got 2 guitarists to replace him:)

If Mick and Keith had a baby girl who was born in Louisiana…

What's the title

strange how she can't remember the lyrics... sad

Singing and playing her heart out to an audience that's barely alive.

She's constantly looking at her book.

sings w such emotion...but zero stage presence maybe kept her from super-stardom--love her anyway

Sweet Old World is so F*#@ing sad...I had to turn it off.

Manque Obama dans le public.

Unfortunately Lucinda's voice has seriously gone south in the last several years and the last 3 or 4 albums are beyond dark and mixed with Trump bashing at times. Very sad because she is an incredible songwriter.....possibly even the best.
