No. MONEY controls Mick, and Stevie is the golden goose.

The prerecorded approach is impossible to generalize about. Sometimes it actually works best, I would imagine. If the audio doesn’t sound exactly like a studio track, it’s okay. In that case, there isn’t much difference between prerecorded audio and a stage full of backup guys, especially if the backup guys are playing prerecorded audio (because nobody is really looking at them very closely).
There have been times in the last twenty years when I would have preferred listening to a prerecorded Stevie or Lindsey lead vocal instead of a live one.

and just for clarification, when we say 'backup players are playing prerecorded tracks' we are in fact saying that the backup players are miming to the back up recordings....? Which seems doubly redundant. If they're there, and they're actually accomplished musicians, why not just let them play?
Is the insinuation that Lindsey was so controlling of the sound that he would allow no margin for deviation and so insisted on backup tracks? I mean I get using recorded tracks to an extent on his solo tours, because there's so much complexity on those recordings, even just for example that he does umpteen different vocal layers that no one could reproduce live without hauling 15 singers on tour.. And he did on his first solo tour try to recreate everything live which required taking like 8 guitarists on the road with him, which had to have cost a small fortune. So yeah, in that case it makes way more sense to use tracks. That said he did do a whole tour with just himself and little to no recorded tracks Makes you wonder if when it came to FM the skills of the band members was becoming so unreliable over the course of a tour or just so eroded altogether that they'd embarrass themselves if they didn't use tracks. sorry, this is rambling but it's one of those topics where we can only speculate what was in people's heads.

Christine really can't/doesn't play anymore. I won't discuss her inability to carry a tune here.
Before the LB debacle, Brett Tuggle would have been there "backing" her up on keys and playing guitar (as he had been on tours before she came back) With Brett going with LB, Stevie brought in her keys player. There has always been another drummer behind the stage (with or without Taku) And don't forget, Stevie has been "helping" with percussion for years with those magnificent tambo skills--LOL. Point being, the band, as do many bands, bring in backing musicians for support. Taku played on a tour while LB was still in the band. Let's just be grateful they aren't lip synching like other musicians have taken too. Last edited by Storms123; 11-27-2019 at 08:24 AM.. |
