I Wish Lunch Could Last Forever???

[conched]

Today, November 29, right about lunch time, RM played a live version of I Wish Lunch Could Last Forever. It was a version I'm sure I have never heard. It opened with an accordian (which I suppose was Mike playing) and Jimmy spoke some French. It also featured a muted trumpet.

I see that IWLCLF was played on the tour in 2000, and it wasn't THIS particular live version.

Does anyone know when I Wish Lunch Could Last Forever was played in Paris maybe? Or maybe at Le Select, or ??? anywhere?

The trumpet sounds like when it was played for the 2000 Tour, but I don't recall an accordian being played and Jimmy speaking so much French. Did anyone go to a show in 2000 where Utley played accordian?

I'm floored - I do recall hearing a live version of it on RM and it blew me away that he would ever do this tune. And I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.

It's fun revisiting some of these songs that we rarely hear "live."

I had forgotten that Jimmy mentions Annick Goutal.

Such sensory lyrics!

Don’t hide you eyes; just wear your disguise.
Brazil’s in the air. I swear it feels like Mardi Gras time.
I savor the scent of that Annick Goutal
As we stroll in time to that cathedral bell.

(I still think it would be great to be able to "listen" to Tales From Margaritaville, especially the stories like I Wish Lunch Could Last Forever with all the French words.)
