They get more and more cute with each show. Who needs a FM tour (even though I'd love to see them) when you have BM cuteness?

Thanks for the great review!

Exactly!! I'll take all the BM we can get. I'll admit I'd like to see John again, as he's at the top of my list, but I love the BM energy, new material, and smaller venues. This show was truly outstanding.

For whatever reason, I've had Trouble on my mind ALL DAY today. It's not usually in my go-to choices but today I can't shake it!

I'd love to see the whole band together again, but if they're not comfortable around each other anymore, then I'm afraid it's gonna be the tour from hell. And I don't want that.

I love Trouble. And Shut Us Down. And I'm happy with the setlist.

I'm sure Lindsey couldn't go on with the show knowing Stevie was mad at him.
I"m guessing that Stevie didn't get the car honk reference and thought he was just making a noise to hint to her to wrap it up. He was clearly joking.

Well, he AIN'T the boss. CM ain't the boss. JM ain't the boss. MF ain't even the MF boss.

We all know who THINKS they know who the MF boss is...

I hope and pray that they just keep on doing BuckVie for the rest of their days. What a happy ending to their saga it would be...and that John and Mick would join them, and the four could ride off into the sunset.

No the car honk was as she was drifting and telling the story how their car broke down in 1973 while on tour with CCR. It was clever but it upset Stevie. Lindsey was making sound effects during the story. It probably was a passive/aggressive way to say shut up and lets play.
