Don't feel bad about reviewing the audience. They're part of the experience. I will never understand people who sit passively in the presence of musical greatness. Too Far Gone is so kick ass live--same with Tusk. Your attempt to get people on their feet for ISA makes me smile. GYOW is so well known you'd think that song would do it. Who wouldn't seize the opportunity to touch Lindsey's guitar?! I don't understand it either. But even with a crummy audience it was fabulous!! Glad you saw them and posted your review. Crank their music today and relive the show!

[QUOTE=button-lip;1218526]I'm sure if some of us here meet for a concert we would have such an amazing time! Because we agree on so many things!
I also don't understand the drinking/eating process once you're there! How can you be so hungry that you can't wait for the concert to be over? Don't you wish they'd do a show for die hard fans only!! OMG that would be the best. I've been going to concerts for decades and I don't remember the eating thing being so prevalent. Maybe I never paid attention to it or it was the type of shows I was going to. Food is good but it's not a big priority--the music is the main focus. Who's even thinking about food when you're groovin to the music--once the band walks on stage food is not even a thought. |

Here is my rule of thumb. If you are in the first 10 rows, you should be prepared to stand at least half the time. Otherwise don't buy those tickets. Some concerts I don't want to stand and look for side seats. But my shock was the people in the front 2 rows who were the ones allowed to touch the stage just sat there.
I loved the sound last night. I actually wish they had a live CD. Lindsey is such a show man. He is SO into the music and performance. I felt he kept looking for that connection with the audience but could not get it. Speaking of a concert for die hard fans. I was listening to Stern last week and they were talking about a NYC concert with Bruce Springsteen in a tiny theater. I think it held a thousand. Tickets were almost 2 thousand dollars. No cell phones were allowed. And if you went to the bathroom, you could not go back to your seat until the music stopped. Everyone said it was like having Bruce in your living room because it was so intimate. I would love to see something like this with the Mac.

Agree 100% with your rule of thumb. At the Milwaukee show it was only after the girl in my row ran up to the vampires in the front row that everyone got up. A live CD---be still my beating heart. Oh, that would be divine.

I believe that casino gigs are often lame. Mostly comped tickets, to VERY casual fans, so they're not going to be rocking out.
AND, very casual fans probably have zero interest in hearing their new material, so they're not hyped for it like we'd be! BTW, she still had the baseball bat last Sunday in Louisville. She picked it up, but only showed it to him(didn't shake it at him).

You're right, the amount of food brought in was ridiculous! Well, I was in the 11th row and from there to about row 16, stage left side... we danced and stood for most of the show! The woman behind me was a TOTAL LB fan! We expressed to LB our feeings of love and being a guitar god quite frequently! Lol There were A LOT of ooolllldddd peeps there though. I'm 52 and I felt young! Luckily, I was in a pocket of the audience where we liked to dance I was curious how the show smoothed out since the first night on the tour. They worked out Hold Me cuz in Atlanta, the vocals were cringe worthy. Little Lies, I thought, were a bit shaky. CM seemed more comfortable and sounded better with the newer songs. Of course my beloved LB was fabulous, as always. The sound mix was much more cohesive too. The opening band was wonderful! They mentioned several times how thankful they were to LB and CM to be touring with them. And they gave a shout out to the Vets in the audience. The cutest moment though was in the security line to get in, I was behind a little boy, about 10, his grandparents were taking him to the show, well... He was a huge LB fan! He was soooo excited to see his guitar hero live! He went on and on how nobody plays like LB! Overall, it was a good show. They looked like they were having a good time. I know I did!

That's great you had so much fun! My grandparents were wonderful but they weren't taking me to concerts when I was 10. Lucky kid.

Hold Me was flawless. I never thought the song could sound so good live. Its really a treasure. I loved watching Christine mouth so many words when Lindsey was singing Trouble, Never Going Back Again, or Go Your own way.

OMG, me too! I love watching her singing his songs! It shows what a good friend/band partner she is!
