I think one woman near me shouted “You don’t need them” or something to that effect and several others turned to her with “Amens”. There was no love lost to FM in the crowd last night. And frankly it was obvious which was the better show. By a long shot.
And uh... I may have remarked to my friend that it’s a shame Stevie never let him talk much at concerts because I absolutely loved hearing his thoughts and comments on the songs and all.
That all said, should he perform “Hunger” at any of his upcoming shows will someone shoot me a PM or a link to any recordings so o don’t miss it? I’m kind of obsessed with that song and was so hoping he’d do it. It feels like a FM song to me and I may have missed if anyone has more info on the song or Lindsey has said much but I’ve been wondering if it’s one he may have been holding onto for the band. Or at the very least if it was written around the time of the Say You Will album because it seems like it would’ve fit great there. But hey no complaints and I’m so glad he got the song out on his anthology because it’s amazing. Just can really hear a FM vibe in it. (And I may be one of the few but I’ve always adored Say You Will). I just may never get over the band never making a final album...

I heard some of those remarks as well as "don't go back again". I'm with you on the venue size, the stage was so shallow the drums were kind of on the side. Relaxed place though-we took our merch out to the car before the show started. No hand stamping or anything. Try that at a big venue.
At the United Center show the guy next to me (guessing late 20's) was excited about seeing FM/his first time. I asked if he knew Lindsey had been fired---nope! I showed him info about Lindsey's show on my phone and suggested he check it out. We talked about low cost, intimate venue, high energy, interactive with the audience. I told him he would not be disappointed. He enjoyed the FM show esp when Mick came out with his drum. Afterwards I reminded him that Lindsey was replaced by 2 musicians and seeing Lindsey solo would give him a fuller picture of what the Rumours line up is like and he seemed receptive. His friend was enthusiastic about it too so hopefully they saw Lindsey's show.
Now compare this exchange with the guy behind me at the United Center. He thought Lindsey quit because he didn't want to tour so we discussed that. Then we talked about how many times we've seen FM (both of us multiple times) and Lindsey solo (me multiple--him never). I told him about the show this week. He already knew about it and said "yeah, but Lindsey's for the......(he's searching for the right word with furrowed brow)....aficionado". This guy was as relaxed as could be but he shifted in his seat while talking about Lindsey. The body language was uncomfortable and really interesting to me. Plus the way he described Lindsey made me smile. He just had no interest in a Lindsey show despite my glowing praise.
