Washington, DC Set List (Lincoln Theatre) - This was one of those nights that just kept picking up momentum... http://t.co/aIk6IJiqhX

And yes. That's exactly it. I hadn't been back to the Lincoln Theater since the renovation (the last time was that magical 2002 Beck show).. The energy at the show built - and by the end, she had the crowd begging for more. Dancing in the aisles. Rockin' in the free world..
She told short stories before a few of the songs. Hit us with a one-two punch of Pineola and Drunken Angel. Rocked West Memphis. The band was tight and each song seemed to build on the one before. This wasn't the firebrand I saw in Detroit in '99, or the laid-back homecoming show at Stubbs in 2006. She was living inside these songs in a deep way - but still had the energy and vitality to push them across..
We'll see how Bob does on that front next week.
