Default Hampton Beach and Calvin Theater (Northampton)

Hampton Beach - WHAT A FUN VENUE. This place is a big open room, almost like a function hall for a wedding reception. It's very wide, with the stage up against the wall. There were lots of tables with rows of seats near the front.

This was a very enthusiatic crowd and you could tell Lindsey was feeding off the energy. Everyone was taking pictures and video. The security was basically a handful of 16 year olds. Lindsey acknowledged that the last time he had been there was the Under the Skin tour.

I can't believe how good Castaway Dreams is with just him, I absolutely love it. He played 'Stephanie' a little differently this night, it was a little higher like the album version. You could tell he was playing around with the delivery. When it was over someone said "that sucked," I almost had a heart attack. I got audio of 'Stephanie.'

Go Your Own Way was the crowd pleaser. Lots of people were standing up. When he came back out for the encore he shook everyone's hand against the stage. Very short show! Lots of teenagers at the show, great atmosphere, great crowd.

Northampton

Much bigger venue than the Wilbur, with a much higher attendance. It looked like a full house! He got a standing recpetion when he came out and after several of the songs. He mentioned that he loved the venue and that he couldn't remember the last time he was there.

Stephanie got a great reaction (yes, I got the audio again). After he played it someone said "Stephanie, yeah!" and he smiled. Great show!
