The Denver Experience.

[DrummerDeanna]

So what is there to say. The man is awesome. Amazing. Brilliant.

It was a great show, there were a few songs in which Lindsey was sort of drowned out - but otherwise I thought it all sounded spot on - the energy was high - and all in all it was a fantastic show.

I'm not great at show details -and at this show lots happened on the outside. First - I met Christy in Denver (Wondergirl) - and we went to lunch then to scope out the venue. We met a hilarious security guy (who bore a striking resemblence to Horatio Sanz) and we chatted it up with him for a long time - then finally "the van" arrived. The dude let us stand right there close to the door - the deemed us not crazy or threatening I guess...so we got to stay close...

I was sure we'd get pics/meet and such. It was not to be. First Lindsey came around - and he was carrying all sorts of luggage and looked like he just wanted to get inside - so we let him pass. Then comes Brett and I yell out, "HI BRETT TUGGLE!!!!" He stops and says hi...and I like a moron say..."HI BRETT TUGGLE" I'm pretty sure I seemed slow at that point.

Well we didn't meet any of them and the Horatio Sanz guy couldn't even believe it...he made fun of us for a while after that - about waiting and then we didn't even ask for autographs....we're lame...but really the moment just didn't feel right.

Ok - then the show...

It rocked - more on that later as I reflect upon it....though the one thing that really stuck out was Show YOu How - I was really impressed with how that translated to stage.

Oh - and Lauren was there -she sold her ticket to a nice fellow (who talked through the whole damn show) - so there was a nice little group in the first three rows...

After the show Christy and I high-tailed it to the back = and later met Lauren back there and a couple of ladies who asked us if we were on The Ledge (they're friends of Pattie :wavey: ) Anyway - then the moment came...

Out came LIndsey - he was gracious - signed our stuff - and so we got a couple of pictures of him..thanks to nice guy who talked a lot...

and

Christy had her head blocked by my big mug in this one:

Note how THRILLED Lindsey looks to be doing this :laugh:

Taku pretty much said hello and walked off to the van.

Apparently Brett is from Denver - so he stuck around longer than the others - all fans had gone by the time he came out - so Christy and I had him all to ourselves.

He said, "Look at these pretty ladies..." And I said, "Look at that cute man..." lol....I love some Brett flirts...so then we took some pics...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/DeannaRG/Weird1.jpg

Then Brett kissed both Christy and I :xoxo: And I asked him for another shot......and he locked me in a passionate embrace :laugh:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/DeannaRG/BrettnDee.jpg

That was our adventure!

Sorry --not to much on the actual show - I'll do that tomorrow when I come down a bit...and get some sleep :D

[DrummerDeanna]

I didn't get a lot -and most of them are bad because I was afraid to use my flash...but a few turned out ok....I'll post more when I'm not in desperate need of sleep :o

[BTFLCHLD]

Note how THRILLED Lindsey looks to be doing this :laugh:
omg that is hilarious...
are you sure that's not a cardboard cut-out? :lol:
I can't stop laughing!

I am so glad you guys got to meet him and capture these priceless pics. Very cool. Thanks for checking in with us tonight...I have been waiting. Thanks for the deets...rocks you had such geat seats.

:laugh: I know - his face in the first one...we even asked him before hand if it was ok to snap his picture - he still looks like a deer caught in the headlights...cracks me up...

I should mention - he's behind gates...they put up security gates for the whole ten of us gathered outside after the show...so that's why he's more behind us :o

[BTFLCHLD]

..they put up security gates for the whole ten of us gathered outside after the show.. Great job with the pics...and thanks for capturing Brett. very cool there were so few waiting...that makes it best, I think. How was the venue? Christy is off for seattle, correct? I am so glad you got to see a show Deanna.

edit: same set-list?

edit: same set-list?

The set-list was the same - no changes...in fact Christy knew what was coming each time...so no changes...

The venue was beautiful. It's an old theater - so the decor was just amazing - the acoustics were good - it was a nice intimate setting.

The crowd up front was pretty good - toward the end everyone stood up and danced etc - seemed like there were a lot of real fans there - the energy was really good in the crowd - or so I thought.

The concert, though over an hour seemed to last 15 minutes - it went by too fast...but that, to me, is just the sign of a really amazing show.

And yeah - I forgot - Christy said to tell everyone "HEY!" :laugh: She's off to Seattle next - then Vancouver...and I'm crossing my fingers that she gets a pic of her and Linds solo at one of those...it didn't happen tonight - but we got close!

[BTFLCHLD]

it went by too fast...but that, to me, is just the sign of a really amazing show. :nod:

I've promised christy and pattie my right pinky if they capture lindsey's cat-walk on video during ISA.
Let's hope so. drivesmewild :]

btw...you won't get much sleep tonight.

[WelshWitchPMD]

DEANNA!! OMG!! I love the review and the photos rock! That photo with you and the girls and Lindsey is so funny. Poor Lindsey looks like he is stunned or something. That photo with you and Brett is awesome!
I know my friends were there and ran into you guys. LOL My friend said that she got photos so I will have to see. If she lets me post them for her I will. What's up with the fence?:shrug: I never heard of that one before.

[irishgrl]

Yep, deer in the headlights, poor man! Deanna, how cool is that? wouldnt it have been funny if you mentioned David Mn? Like: you know this BIG TALL dude who always has his pic with you? We know him. or something like that...

I bet Lindsey would remember!

that pic where he's holding his guitar and sucking in his lips, like he's biting on them or something...thats just weird.. anyway, Congrats on your adventure you lucky girl! :thumbsup:

[LINDSEY#1FAN]

Deer , headlights - that's the 1st thing that crossed my mind looking at that 1st pic. :laugh: Still cute, though.

That's so cool that you all had such great experiences at these shows. It's almost over though - :( I sure hope that he does tour next year.

[Lauren]

hey all and Deanna!

So I met Deanna and Christy -I was sitting in the front talking to this nice girl Betsy about our tix and she asked if I was on the Ledge and I said yes and Christy yells from behind "Lauren?"! So it was fun to connect with some Ledgies finally and we had so much fun! These girls knew where to go for the meet and greet (well OUR meet and greet!)

Thanks for posting the pix Deanna- it was a blast to meet you guys! LOL at the pix of Lindsey and us - the first one - what a riot! He looks so happy to be near us huh? LOL!

I was turning my head in that first shot (I look like a moran!) to see if LB would take our pix. I guess that guy (his name was Jon that I sold the ticket to that talked a lot) came in handy with his photo skills! So excited you got the pix with Brett - now he looks happy!

Yeah the concert was great but it seemed so short. I felt like it should have been longer but it probably just went by so fast. I have to say it was wonderful and Lindsey's voice is impeccible. He seemed a little harried after the show though when we got our pix taken and got autograpsh - I did get him to put "To Lauren" on my CD though so that made me happy! All in all great show and so glad I went! Set list was the same from what I hear and I can't recall it all. I have to say I was bored with "So Afraid" at each FM show but this time he really outdid himself on that one. Just amazing. I can't get over that man's skill. I also so enjoyed "Trouble" and "Holiday Road" and "Save me a Place" cause I've never seen him do those live. Wonderful, wonderful show!!!

Lauren

[BTFLCHLD]

hey all excellent! Cool that you were able to met up with fellow ledgies :thumbsup: and enjoyed the show so much. Lindsey is so handsome even without the smidge of a smile. Did you met sweetie Brett?

[SuzeQuze]

You lucky bitches. I'm psyched for you that you got to meet him!

[DrummerDeanna]

excellent! Cool that you were able to met up with fellow ledgies :thumbsup: and enjoyed the show so much. Lindsey is so handsome even without the smidge of a smile. Did you met sweetie Brett?

Everyone had gone by the time Brett came out - me and Christy were die-hards though :laugh: We refused (ok I refused) to leave until I saw Brett leave.

He didn't leave with the band - and the security lady told us he' probably leave through the front. SOoo..Christy and I walk our happy asses around to the front - the only person there was an old homeless guy.

So we walk BACK around - and I see the hair first...and we realize it's Brett - so we ran over there (before he left) and the lady first told us "stay behind the gates" But there was no one there...and Brett just excused himself from the lady, came over to us and led us to the enclosed area...ha..then he asked her if she'd take our picture :laugh:

[Lauren]

excellent! Cool that you were able to met up with fellow ledgies :thumbsup: and enjoyed the show so much. Lindsey is so handsome even without the smidge of a smile. Did you met sweetie Brett?

NO, I wanted to but needed to get home - said I was going to be home about 10ish and my husband was calling asking where I was - right when we were waiting to meet Lindsey- told him I was having "my groupie moment" and would call him back - LOL!

[DrummerDeanna]

Well glad to see you got to your car/made it home safely!!

Christy and I had a scare - we went back to the garage I was parked in and there was a big sing saying "Garage closes 1 1/2 hours after concert" well - it had been more than an hour and a half - and all the exits we saw were gated.

So as I had an anxiety attack inside - we did find the one open exit...but man was I freaked out -thought we'd be stranded in downtown Denver!

Oh and I'll e-mail you those pics today!

OMG- am glad you guys got out of there. I would be worried too if I saw that sign. How long did you stay after I left? Oh I found my ticket - had put it in my back pocket! thanks on the pix- you got some great one's of LB too if you could add those. BTW, I forgot to tell you that when I saw Stevie a few years ago I was sitting next to Brett's mom - she was so sweet!

:xoxo:


Deanna - great pics! lol, "HI BRETT TUGGLE!" I'd probably do the same thing. Lindsey's expressions are priceless. Brett looks pretty happy. He smokes? :distress:

I know - I was dispointed by the smoking too - although I almost asked for a drag so I could say that I smoked his ciggie :laugh: I'm lame.

Yeah - "HI BRETT TUGGLE!" at least I was able to put together more words after the show...hopefully he didn't put two and two together that the weird girl who could only say "HI BRETT TUGGLE!" was the same as the post -show cool chick :laugh:

[michelle2677]

also-deanna-love the review, love the pics.

I like hearing about more of your experiences than the setlist, blah blah. I like the extra stuff that no one else experiences :)

and now your signature must say "HI BRETT TUGGLE!!" :laugh:

and lindsey wouldn't look so bad if his mouth weren't open in that first one!!! but then again........;)

[skcin]

:lol: :lol: how the hell do you people come up with this ****?? :laugh:

I can't take the credit on this one. It's all about Homie and Mikeschmike. :nod:

Dee - I would have said the same thing. I call people by their full name all the time, for some reason. And I would have been all over Brett's cig. :o

Me too. I saw him smoking outside the Orpheum while I was getting my ticket but I wasn't 100% sure it was him. I didn't know he was on Lindsey's tour. Duh! So I said nothing. At least you said hi, D! I had on my moon so he knew I was a die hard and made some eye contact but said nothing.

:laugh: I know..I should have asked...also - and I'm not kidding..

He was WAY friendly - and he'd given Christy and me kisses...so when I asked "can we take a picture...just the two of us.." I totally almost added.."Making out?" :laugh: I stopped myself though...I would have been kidding - but the man was in a fun and playfulish mood and I thought it better to not go there :laugh:

[skcin]

^ From what I've seen & heard, Brett's a bit of a man whore, so he probably would have done it. :laugh: I love him.

[DavidMn]

Deanna, I am VERY happy for you and Christy!

[Lauren]

I have to make one more comment on the pix of us girls with Lindsey - why on earth do our heads look SO big compared to his? And notice we are all so pasty white? LOL!! It's kind of funny!!!

However not as funny as Lindsey's expression in the first one - priceless!

I know - and I'm dismayed because the angle of the pictures makes my face look funny - esp. the Brett and me one...it looks like I have no neck. ew.

Oh -and I've not forgotten about the pictures -but I'll probably send them from home tonight...:o

And Paula - I head the manwhore thing too - which is why I didn't ask - I was partially afraid he WOULD have done it :laugh: I adore him.

[CelticGypsy]

Great photos, Deanna:xoxo:

Well, hubby and I are heading to Seattle on Thursday but we don't have our tickets yet. He has business meetings most of Friday so I hope to get tickets sometime today or tomorrow. I have to check and see if he won't be stuck in meetings on Friday evening:shrug: If he can't make it, then I plan to try to go. Would be dumb to be in same town as Linds and not go see the concert. Wish me luck!!!!

[bikerchic]

Ho. ****. Man. Congrates on the meet and greet. I think Brett would have totally slept with you :nod:

and just fyi...if we ever do meet in vegas or somewhere else at a show, i'll be sure to give you my last name so you're not.."michelle numbers after her name" :shrug:

there are only certain people I call by their full names. If it's a totally cool name and it adds oomph I'll say it. (and yes I did look up "oomph" and apparently it's a word. :laugh: )

[LngPrmsdRd]

OMG SO AWESOME!!!!! Cool cool cool!!!!!!! I am SO glad you got to meet him, I was sending you good thoughts LOL! I LOVE the pics...oh I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[wondergirl9847]

Hey everyone!
I am on the net at my hotel in Seattle. LOOONG day, no time to post a long review. Tired.

Got my record purse signed by Lindsey last night!! I'll post a picture of it when I get home.

I got one pic of LB outside talking to some girl who apparently was related to him. She had pics of his family and all. No pics from the show, but Bobby, the security dude...RULES.

Love the deer in the headlights pic of LB with Deanna, Lauren and I. HEE!!

Latah!!

Ken, if you read this, I will try to call you on Friday morning at some point. :)

[DrummerDeanna]

^^

Christy! Glad you made it safely to Seattle - and I'm happy to report I did not get lost once after dropping you off :p

Have great time - and I'm sending good vibes your way - I hope you get that Lindsey photo (just the two of you) - make sure you ask him if he wants to make out as well :p

[Nico]

I know - and I'm dismayed because the angle of the pictures makes my face look funny - esp. the Brett and me one...it looks like I have no neck. ew.


Oh psshtt, whatever. You guys are all cute and congrats on meeting him!!! The expression on his face is priceless.

LB always looks quite suave in all these after-show meets, for someone his age playing hard on stage like that. And also, he has the prettiest hair color. I love it!

[golden braid]

Hey, Christy! I'm glad you got your picture taken with Lindsey this time. It looks like you girls had an awesome time. Keep us updated on the next couple of shows. :)

[skcin]

still...I forget about the flying vaginas all the time, so i would have never come up with that.

don't worry. Everyone thinks I have stevie's boobs on the brain all the time. did you see that pic in the new photo site thread?? :lol: I guess I'd rather people think I have stevie's boobs on the brain than flying vaginas of death though. Now that I think about it and all. :laugh:

[gypsysoul]

Great story and photos Deanna. Lindsey just looks so bewildered, poor guy!

Actually, I've enjoyed reading all the accounts from people of their show experiences, thanks BTFLCHLD, your Lindsey adoration always makes me smile.

Very happy for everyone who got to meet the man!

I feel as though we're objectifying Stevie here...stop.

HA! Just kidding - I love the SOTB picture you posted..I think I'm becoming obsessed with it.

And Paula's caption on the Lindsey pic is so hilariously fitting...I crack up everytime I see it :lol:

[DrummerDeanna]

It didn't occur to me to record anything else...and I wasn't sure how it would come out - but here's a short clip of Lindsey from Denver....
