My husband and I saw them in October in Saratoga, CA (SF bay area). They cut the set list short a couple of songs (no Nobody But You and no Long Tail Cat) probably because Kenny was sick. They themselves never told the audience Kenny was sick, but I was sitting beside someone who had just seen them in Modesto the night before and had gotten a meet and greet then...she said Kenny was really sick at the Modesto meet and greet. At the encore it looked like the band was ready to play another song (probably Nobody But You), but Kenny and Jim motioned for them to come up for a bow. They looked slightly surprised. I was in the front, so could see their expressions. Most of the audience probably didn't notice a thing. But a great show nonetheless. Sure enough, a couple of days later they cancelled Oakland and postponed two other shows due to illness. The reason I mention this is because even though Kenny might not have FELT 100% in Saratoga, he gave 100% and the performance of L&M was once again flawless. The rest of the audience would not have known. I knew only because someone who had seen L&M the day before told me. I saw L&M twice in 2005 reunion tour (Lake Tahoe and Berkeley). Their 2005 set list was was about 21 songs, 2 sets, and lasted over 2 hours. And it was magnificent and magical. This 2009 tour has most of the same musicians, about 14 songs (from my count), 1 set, and is about an hour and a half. It also is incredible, but this is a great band, these are great songs, and there is a lot more music they could play, like they did in 2005. But I'm happy just to have them come around again. They are a real treat! Will be seeing them again in Lancaster, CA in late November. It's a 5-hour drive, a vacation day from work, and every bit worth it! Like someone else on this blog wrote: I want MORE, MORE, MORE! I hope they keep doing this every couple of years. Excellent review. My husband and I saw them in October in Saratoga, CA (SF bay area).

I had never seen them play together in the 70's and waited 30 years and it finaly happened. August of 05 for my b-day, my wish came true. In Atlanta at the incredible Chastain Amphitheater, a spectacular show, everything I ever could have imagined it would be and more (even in the rain that year)! This years tour deserved a more special attendance with the man that had me growing up on L&M tunes, my dad, and the man I have shared those same tunes with as he grew up, my son. Yep, 3 generations attended what I think was the 2nd or 3rd show of this years tour, and best of all, in my dad's home town of Portsmouth, VA. What a Great experience! I was even lucky enough to catch them again on this same tour back in Atlanta at Chastain, no rain this time! Like most everyone posting here, just can't get enough of these guys, and there is NOTHING that comes close to this kind of music these days. THANKS for keepin it real L&M Awesome and spot on review!

I saw this show in Kansas City the end of August, then in Council Bluffs, IA the next night. You nailed the review, I couldn't add a thing. There were a couple of subtle differences in the two shows, but the amazing musicians and that horn piece in Angry Eyes was the best I have ever witnessed in my life. We did get a backstage meet and greet in KC which was way cool. Those two left it all on the stage.....they were spent, but really nice....got a few pictures and autographs too! I totally lucked out with front row center in KC and front row slightly left at Council Bluffs....not even 8 feet away from them....Yes, I had a great time. Well done review!!!
