I went with Marisa (and her red Willie bandana) to see Willie Nelson the other night over in Berkeley. Good show! *And* we went and got hot dogs before the concert! What a night! 
Just to go over the show a bit- Lucinda opened up, she was good, but seemed lost between songs. She was pretty mellow, but so was the crowd. I like the fact that she uses a songbook and said she can’t remember her own lyrics. “I don’t know how Bob Dylan can do it.”
Due to the crowd- Willie was a bit subdued as well. I’ve seen him a few times in my homeland, but seeing him indoors in Bezerkly w/ a quiet crowd of volvo-driving, npr-listening assmunches was a bit hard to take. They barely clapped with the music, sang along (even when prompted), or seemed to know what to do with themselves. It was Marisa’s first Willie show, so I wished it had been a bit more lively. She’ll have to fly to Austin and check him out there.
But all in all, I liked the show- I was pretty impressed with Willie’s son covering Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Texas Flood too.
