Puamana and I saw John Doe open for Lucinda on Friday in Seattle. Lucinda mentioned that she and John were learning some songs to perform together, but that John had to fly off somewhere after his set. She said one of the songs she was learning was "White Girl". She also said that John Doe's new record was one of the best things she's heard in a long time, and that she was a little embarassed that he was opening for her, because "c'mon, he's John f___in' Doe". John did an exactly 45 minute set to a mostly clueless audience who were still getting settled in their seats. It was a solid set nonetheless. The only songs I recognized were "4th Of July", and a cover of "Money (That's What I Want)". He also threw in a bar of the Beatles' "Revolution" within another song. Lucinda was amazing as always. She started off real quiet, and built up the sound until it was fully rocking in vein that was very reminicent of Neil Young and Crazy Horse. Unfortunately the set was cut short due to the 11:00 curfew. She said she played a 3+ hour set at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland on Wed. 6/22. Did anyone catch that show?
