Lee
gave a tremendous show with the Al Casey Group on Monday the
9th of July 2001 (Lee's birthday!) at the Rhythm Room in Phoenix
AZ, USA. The show titled 'Somewhere between obscure and infamous'
was presented by Johnny D. Special guest was Tommy Parsons.
The room was packed with fans, friends and family of Lee's like
Floyd Ramsey, Jack Miller, Jimmy Dell, Buddy Long, Virgil Warner
and Tony Castle. After Al Casey and Sherry Layne did a half-hour
set Lee was introduced. He came on stage wearing black pants,
boots, a black jacket and baseball cap. He was wearing black
glasses because of eye surgery a few weeks before. His hair was
dyed jet black and resembled the Lee Hazlewood of the 60's. He
sang many of the obscure songs like 'The performer', 'You look
like a lady', 'Your thunder and your lightning', 'Pray them bars
away', 'If it's Monday morning', 'Suddenly Tennessee', 'A taste
of you', 'Paris song', 'No regrets', 'Hollywood (just ain't no
place)', 'Feathers', 'For my birthday (A pear or apple or blue
Jaguar)' and 'My autumn's done come'. Mid-show, Johnny D., the
MC, brought out a huge cake with several photographs etched in
the icing and a large candy '72' standing amidst the photos and
everyone sang 'Happy birthday'. After the show Lee stayed to
sign records, pictures and CD's. (Thanks to Dave Acker (US) for
this info).

Malmö (Sweden) (Live appearance / 9 September 2002).
- Concert
House, Oslo (Norway) (Live appearance / 10 September 2002).
Having
lots of fun on the bus with the band and crew and Al and Lee's
many stories over scotch and cigs. as the bus rolls along the
Scandinavian countryside. We're in Oslo now and last night was
one of those nights that you read about in Rolling Stone. There
is a band here called Some Velvet Evening that perform nothing
but Hazlewood songs. They have been doing this for around five
years and perform around Norway every few months. There is a
'Lee' and a 'Nancy' and they scheduled a show in a small club,
GAMLA (smokey, noisy, dark) after the real concert at the Concert
House.
The boss man Lee, who has not been sleeping well on the bus,
never does these things but for some reason he took everyone
to this funky club after the concert. (The tribute promoter gave
me a flyer in the lobby before the show and I told him I would
give it to Lee, but not to expect anything to happen). When we
all arrived they were showing video clips from Lee's Swedish
TV specials and Nancy movie clips etc. People are coming up to
his table and asking for pictures and autographs and Lee is most
cordial to all. After the showings the screen rolled up and the
band did their set. (A very darkly lit set with a candelabra,
'Lee' sits on a stool with a cowboy hat). This tribute band 'Lee'
has a very raspy voice and he is singing solo most of the set
before 'Nancy' joins for the duets. The real Lee was really digging
the song selection and arrangements, making comments to all of
us during each song. Towards the end of the set Lee told me that
he should go up and sing a song so we all start hopping around
to figure what songs to play, major chaos, you get the picture.
Then he says to me 'No, forget it, It's too political?' so we
all sit down. Just as the band starts the last song he said 'Let's
do it!'. So the band pushes through the audience and hops up
on stage, we get Al (Casey) up there with a guitar, on a stool,
and there is an instrument for everyone. The first thing that
Lee does is blow the candles out! We have a great band by the
way, (members of High Llamas and Stereolab) and Lee ripped off
three songs from the current set that really kicked some ass!
(Including 'Pray them bars away'). It was magical to say the
least. The mic even went out a couple of times and he grabbed
another and kept going. Everyone in the club was screaming their
heads off (200 or so). We were screaming and clapping, the band
was taking pictures of the audience and vice versa, just a blast!!
Afterwards Lee met the Some Velvet Evening band and they all
had pictures taken with Lee and Al. Then we pushed through the
audience to the promoters car to get All and Lee back to the
hotel. By now there was a small crowd on the street chanting
'Lee! Lee! Lee!'. We hopped into the car (well not exactly hopped)
as Al's legs are bad. Off we went into the cool Oslo night to
the beautiful Radisson SAS Hotel. (Amazing comp breakfast by
the way). The thing to remember is that the band AND audience
are all real Lee Hazlewood fans and this was a once in a lifetime
show.
The concert tickets were pretty pricey so many of Lee's fans
didn't get to see the concert and came to this club instead.
One lad told me 'It's just like Christmas!' Another said that
he had been 'waiting 30 years for this night' (and the guy couldn't
have been over 30 years old himself!). This morning's paper reviewed
the Concert House concert and the headline over his picture translated
into 'Senior Objector' which Lee liked very much. As if you can't
tell, I'm having a ball with my new musical friends, band, crew
and bus drivers and I don't believe that any future show can
top this but you never know....do you? Off to Hamburg in an hour
to find a Laundromat. Love to all.
Thanks to John P. Dixon.
