I'm somewhat envious of her, elle. I loved the time I was discovering Lindsey's brilliance. I wish I could relive it!

And so meticulous and gorgeous. Plus his songs are easy to relate to because, although his lyrics can be internal and sometimes not easy to analyze, the way he performs makes the connection happen. Ugh, it's hard to put in words for me but YES to all you said. He's a special kind of artist. I feel like Lindsey does on a smaller scale what Bruce Springsteen does for his fans on a larger one. They connect with every word, but with us it's like every note he plays just goes right to our souls. Well, for me at least.

4. But with the UKgigs that got cancelled it would have been 6. :-(

1. I hate that he always sticks to the same songs.
2. I hate that he always overdoses sheen in the studio. 3. I hate that he overreacts on stage the same way everytime. 4. I hate that he never really opens up on how he writes or composes in interviews. ( always the same metaphors). Still, he is my favorite artist ever, because he never fails to amaze me with his recordings and with his stageperformance. He always makes choices that attack my expectations, so I really have to go into it to fully enjoy. In his own, controlled artistic world he always searches for his own challenge. ( not always the challenge I want him to search). In all his overproduced, idiosyncratic, almost comicbooklike recordings, he always finds a way to go straight to your Heart, and finds emotion. It's pretty Unique in the musicworld. He's polished bubblegumpop, RAW punk, cheesy country, experimental folk and pure rock and roll at the same time. He's the master.

It's funny. The first time I went to see him (first leg of Under the Skin tour) I really wasn't that excited. I only liked two songs on the album. However, when we got to the venue, someone offered my mother two front row tickets...dead center. It was unbelieveable. I was also tickled that he was playing Holiday Road. After the show, I started listening to "Out of the Cradle" and at that point was hooked. I played "Turn it On" 1,000x times. Then, he ADDED it to the set list! Hook, line, and sinker!
UTS Tour (4 shows) GOS Tour (3 shows) SWS Tour (3 shows) OMS tour (3 shows) - could have been 6, but the only song that interested me was "Stephanie" |

wow. only 4. for some reason i always had a feeling you saw him more since you flew to the US for both UTS and GOS tours, in my mind just during GOS it was 4... and your fabulous descriptions of GOS touring experience you had was the impetus for me to even start thinking of going on little roadtrips and seeing multiple dates in a row. too bad those are lost now. i loved reading those.

i was like that in Dec 2009. and thinking how great it is to have internet and be able to dig out all this stuff so fast. spent nights watching youtube videos... and that adds up so fast, 3-5 minutes each! several things cemented it for me - watching a video of Go Insane from Soundstage and that Big Love/Landslide from Letterman. so much of both virtuosity and emotion! but then i had the whole 2010 when nothing was happening. i thought that's it, i will never get to see LB live. and after reading several people's descriptions - especially shackin'up's that i mentioned above, but also Nico's and some others, i wanted to, really bad. then 2011 rolled around and Saban show was announced, about 2 weeks before it was actually happening. that was it. i've been extremely lucky he's been so active 2011-2013.

The part about searching for his own challenge is especially astute. When I hear people complain about the way he produces, or the way he speaks, or the why does he play this, and not that, they wanted an acoustic album, or they wanted a more rockin' album, etc., this is what I think, but could never put into words. SWS tour he played All My Sorrows, and some were like, of all the OOTC songs, why that one?? And like everyone else, I would have chosen any number of other songs instead, from that album, but I could totally see why he would choose it, and wasn't concerned with what the fan choice might be. Elle and I debate a lot about requesting songs, and I always say, it's not that I don't have songs that I'd love to hear, it's just that I trust him to choose, and to put together a set that is wonderful. It may not be anything close to the set I imagined him playing, but he seems to know what he's doing, so I'm fine just trusting him, and sure enough, he's yet to let me down with his choices, even when they were the furthest thing from my own choices.

I don't have a huge income, and those few trips costed me a lot of recovery financially. And I still like to visit other talented and characterful bands and artists. So about every five years I can go for a deeppocketdive like those FM-LB trips.

i know, re money. living in the States, sharing hotel rooms and car costs, LB solo related roadtrips were not that funds draining. and other bands that i want to see eventually come to DC area, and i can buy cheap tickets. good FM tickets however, way too much - i'm not that keen on putting LB's or Mick's kids through college, gotta think of my own . i'm putting a stop to FM. i hope. unless Christine comes back, i would love to see that show. i was hoping you still had those descriptions in some word file on some old computer... too bad they are lost.

I've only seen Lindsey solo once. I would definitely love to see him solo again. I have seen him with FM twice. I am fine with either solo or with FM.
