But Chris felt she had to take leave--then Chris jumps in and says "of my senses" and I was busy doing FM and a lot of solo stuff so we both have done things on our terms.

His solo during ISA seemed a bit shorter and not as ferocious but still incredible. Chris sounds good. She started out weak on WYWH but no biggie. She screwed up royally before the encore when she said "thank you Boston, er Chicago." She really looked embarrassed. I love Chris but FFS really?! Overall it was totally worth going to and I'm so glad I did. The show was over in a flash; I wish it was longer. No Gypsy story, lol. Don't get me wrong, I love Stevie and her stories (for real) it's just a very different dynamic.

I felt sad when the show was over. Maybe cause it went by so fast or cause I know eventually the shows will come to an end. I missed the Detroit show because a family situation usurped my plans and my blood is still boiling. A ticket in the second row on Lindsey's side and money wasted. [insert Psycho stabbing sound here]

I have no idea how many people were there. The bleachers/upper levels were pretty empty but the main floor was filled. I cracked up on the way back to the car listening to people talk about the show and the band. Mostly positive with one complaint about people standing the whole time (must have been bitchin about me) and talk of next FM tour. People heaping praise on Lindsey. The guy next to me said Chris has always been his favorite. The love for these people is extraordinary.
Loved that flub by Christine! We all got a kick out of it! Totally agree, they sounded fantastic. The biggest surprise of the evening was Too Far Gone for me. Sounded MASSIVE and bluesy rock live. Didn't like the album version, but this was fantastic. The other was You Make Loving Fun, you could close your eyes and have no idea that time had passed. Lindsey seemed to be especially fond of that one too, his licks were superb and he acted like old weird Tusk-era Lindsey in some parts.

Overall, a wonderful show. We were really confused by the lack of The Wallflowers too, although the other band was good and their drummer - I really just want to give him a hug and hang out with him...
