Seattle tonight!!
 

Just arriving. Fantastic crowd! So happy for them!! We had to park a couple miles away and walk. Very excited. Anyone else here??

Their opening act is a solo chick with guitar. Kelly somebody. No Wildflowers. Got tee shirt and signed LP. Opener said she met Christine backstage and she was so nice. No mention of Lindsey. The winery still open and the crowd taking full advantage. lol

tee shirt (this was the alternative to the one that has the album cover on the front and all the tour dates on the back. This only has their names on front and that's it:

They're playing a recording of acoustic guitar version of think about me


Ok here's the audio-- sorry the video sucks, but I wasn't trying to capture any visuals, just the audio of Think About Me and one other I can't recognize. So close your eyes. ; )






here's the one I don't recognize (but feel like I should):

Wow! I think it's the first time they play it for the BuckVie tour, right? :]:]

Trouble which got a nice response. Now Wish You Were Here. She's playing a soft synth line you can't hear on videos. Very slow, downbeat way to start I must say. :(


Since everyone was having different opinions of the quality of their voices, here's Trouble where I think he sounds great. She seems like she's not being given enough to do here but watch him, though in person it did *seem* to sound like she was playing a very soft synth line accompaniment.







Wish You Were Here.... the vocals are bit wobbly, and you can kinda barely hear her synthesizer part:

love your reporting! hope you have amazing time tonight!!
pretty sure it's been a regular part of those LB instrumentals they play before every FM, LB or BM show. i've heard TAM instrumental at several of the BuckVie shows i went to. LB should add these to that box set he's thinking of - would be a perfect opportunity for fans to finally get them!

Slow version NGBA. Now solo song (Shut Us Down). Poor Christine. Jesus. She's just a prop onstage to him. Very not cool.


NGBA..he sounded good:

NGBA intro:


end of song:

She is playing soft synth in SUD. He's in fantastic voice.

Or maybe she's filing her nails back there-- she's looking down at her hands. (just kidding, she was playing)

Trouble and SUD must go. wish they changed that up in that little break they had fiddling with the rest of the mac. ;)

SATC. Blows the ears off you!! Lots fake vocals. Sounds like munchkins.


Here's his intro patter before the song where he announces he and Christine have recorded a NEW ALBUM!!!




And here's the end of the song. The clip of this is short. Bums me I don't have video so you can judge the backing vocal tracks. :(

At least it's a duet on the verses.

FAY. She sounds great! She's been dancing during his stuff. She's not playing on this one though. All Brett. :(

In My World. Lots of echoey vocals on chorus. Very rockin live though

Too Far Gone. Chris "who wants to hear a couple of old ones?? This one's kinda old". Hold Me. The notes are hard for her on the chorus. Got everyone rushing the stage. Followed by Little Lies which got a fantastic response as well.


(Apparently I was too busy dancing or something to record Hold Me) :(
Too Far Gone--This includes the drum solo and it does seem to validate the comment my partner made during the show that there are supplemental drum/percussion tracks being played, because when you watch the drummer he is clearly not playing all the drum parts you are hearing, and there is no other percussionist/drummer onstage:





Visuals of Chris jamming with the band during the instrumental bits:



Little Lies--- The first video is when I was going down to the front of the stage, and then when I get there they start the song. You can hear her vocal, it's a bit off, but nothing horrible. The second video is them in the chorus, and you can hear he's a bit off also:

This is SOOOOOO F*CKING CHEESY!!!! WHY do they think she doesn't need to play SOMETHING? Play a f*cking organ chord, for god's sake!

Could she not remember the parts, or her hands are the problem(IF that's the problem, let it be known)? Or, "hey, don't worry about it, we'll just play with tracks now....EVERYBODY does it! Just stand there and pretend that you're playing"?

This karaoke machine is lame AF!
