I understand why Lindsey didn’t like the paraphrasing. He had worked so hard on creating studio gems only to pare them down for a live show. He doesn’t strike me as the type who can divorce himself from the finished product. The thing is, there’s also an art to stripping down a song to its essentials and taking it to a different place. A concert is a completely different way to experience the music. It SHOULD be different. Very different.

1975-1976 concerts are so wonderful. Even Get Like You Used to Be is pure performance.

I think those shows made Lindsey a better musician. I watched him over the years trying to cover so many parts and fills.

Now, his solo shows have a ton of backing tracks. I understand why he does that. He wants Don't Look Down to have those great effects. And as they all age, it's just a necessary evil. Here's to missing the old days.

I think Stevie gets blamed a lot because she broke up the 3 part harmonies by adding her posse.

Lindsey has been for years now saying how surprised people were when they would hear FM live, since live the sound is so different and so much more rock. that FM albums are more pop while FM live band was rock'n'roll. he was always proud of the heavier concert sound.

If you look at the Mirage Album compared to the tour; you'll see it's completely different from the album.

By the time the Dance came around, I was a bit underwhelmed. I was ecstatic they were back. But, it was light.
