Seattle Show tonight

[ajmccarrell]

Hi,

Is anyone else going to the Seattle show tonight? I was hoping to hook up with a few Ledgies after the show. Lemme know if anyone out there will be at The Moore. :]

[justcrazylove]

just landed from San Jose, i'm off to the show tonight!

[TrueFaith77]

omg u guys r so lucky!

[Livia]

just landed from San Jose, i'm off to the show tonight!

Isn't that San Jose airport a nightmare? Worst TSA agents ever. Guess it didn't help that three different people in front of me at the security checkpoint didn't have proper photo IDs. Why would anyone even consider flying these days without a proper photo ID? Inconceivable! :confused:

[ajmccarrell]

Do any of you want to meet up before the show? I was thinking we could all go to the McDonald's down from the Moore beforehand or something.

[Livia]

Have fun, take good notes! I have a feeling we'll see lots of set list changes and surprises. I doubt they rehearsed for a month just to do UTS Part II w/ the GOS tracks.

I didn't realize the album was only 40 minutes long. That being the case, he should do ALL of the songs off of the album. He'd still have plenty time left over to promote Rumours (as Chili likes to say :laugh:). Michele

[justcrazylove]

Great show again! he nailed GYOW, SUD, and DLD and both solos on come and ISA were amazingly good! the set list was the same the crowd was louder though! :D show 2/10 it was better than the first show!

[ajmccarrell]

I will post a full review tomorrow and I have a ton of pictures! I also got to talk to Lindsey after the show and I have a couple pics of us together. :)

[ajmccarrell]

Here's one of us together and I look like crap. I was so terrified of the guy that I didn't know what my face was doing. LOL!

Apparently, the Camera Nazi's took the night off?

[ajmccarrell]

was that outside of the theater?


Yeah, there was a crowd waiting out front, so I had the idea to go out to the employee parking area in the back and I ambushed him on the way to his rental SUV.

Talk about carbon footprint! The semi-truck and the bus were running the ENTIRE TIME! He was also in a suburban. We should all petition Lindsey to tour in a Prius.

[ajmccarrell]

Apparently, the Camera Nazi's took the night off?

It's just that I have to mess with all of them to get them under the 100k file size limit.

[Betsy]

:thumbsup:The photo of you and Mr. B. is so cool! I envy all of you guys who happen to be in the right place at the right time WITH a camera man! :thumbsup:

Yeah, I'm going to frame it and send it to Hoppy. He was very happy I got to meet Lindsey.

[BTFLCHLD]

the set list was the same

:] I hope it remains so...I LOVE LOVE the choices the guys made and can not wait to experience this LIVE!!! :]

The arrangements were amazing. He used the single version arrangements for Go Insane and sort of for Trouble. He used the UTS tour guitar arrangement, but it was done the same way as the single version for the rest of it. The UTS tour wound up as it went on, this one has the first 45 mins or so as balls to the walls rock culminating in GOS before he slows things down a bit with SUD and BL, then he comes roaring back with Come and a few others. He slows down a bit again with UTS and DYMM and finishes off with GYOW. The encores were great too. He kind blew Time Precious Time last night. For whatever reason it wasn't going so well for him on that one.

I can't wait to go to my show Oct 2!!!!!!

I hope he does't cut TPT from the set...on Rockline I was entranced by it. Superb.

His voice was also much stronger and fuller than it has been in years. He sounded more like himself from 'The Dance' and much less strained. I think he started doing some sort of vocal treatments to save his voice.

[michelej1]

AJ it's so great that you got photos.

Yes, the show does hit the ground running. Starting it rocking is a lot different than starting with Not Too Late. I loved the UTS tour, but I think Lindsey has a new energy this time around. I only wish that I had known Great Day and Love Runs Deeper and gotten the chance to anticipate them live. That would have been even better.

Probably a stupid question, but did they do the "take a bow" thing, where they put their arms around each other and bow in unison?

Just curious.

Hey thanks! I kept asking most people I talked to if they were Ledgies. I'm glad to have met one. Thank you SOOO much for taking it. I just wasn't paying attention to what my body was doing. I mean, I was close to the Lindsey.. :blob1:

Sorry you look kind of pissed in the picture. Everytime I would snap it, you were trying to tell me to press the button and that it didn't work. :lol:

Lindsey was like, "oh I think it was fine." lol.

Am I really that fat?

Thanks Nancy!

huh? Why would you say that? No, you are not fat!

[ajmccarrell]

Well, after the pics there I just feel like I look really fat. Then again, next to Lindsey, Ethiopians look fat. :laugh:

[Betsy]

I LOVE the photos! Thank you so much AJ.

It is so hard to believe --- that concert was just last night and we're seeing photos!

(I can hardly wait for the audio....please, somebody, please have the technology for audio....)

[michelej1]

Absolutely sensational photos AJ. I can't believe you got so many.

[AliP]

So here is my review.

Got the the theatre quite a bit early so we went over the the restaurant across the street for dinner and drinks. As we were sitting there Lindsey and crew, Kristen too, pulled up in a white suburban type vehicle and all got out. Before we realized what was going on he was inside the building, though there was some lucky lady there who did get an autograph.

As far as the concert itself....it was great. The crowd was great....very into it, dancing, singing, jumping around. I could tell Lindsey and the band really enjoyed it. I had second row...wish I had figured out my camera beforehand as they did not monitor picture taking here and could have got some good ones!

Some songs that stick out for sure....Go Insane...refreshing for a change. Got tired of hearing the acoustic version all these years. Of course, my favorite is always I Know I'm Not Wrong, which was great and fun. I think I may have nodded off a bit during the middle of the set (I kid, I kid) but it did get a little boring. He needs to get rid of Come and Under the Skin and do something else. From reading the Saratoga review, sounds like he said pretty much the same things...the meaning behind Big Love...he was looking "out" for love and he did live on a house on a hill. The crowd loved that. Introducing the band seems to be the most fun for him...everyone laughed and joked about Brett being the rock of the band. I liked Treason...pretty good song, but I definitely felt like my time was preciously wasted after hearing Time Precious Time. Didn't seem to go very well and not a good song to end, imo.

I had hoped to get a picture after the show and since we knew he would be coming out the back we just waited there. I was surprised that no one was back there after reading older reviews and knowing that he comes out the back. Only one other person was there, though about 4 more people showed up. But anyway, as we were waiting, Neal and Brett came out to smoke cigarettes. I asked Brett if I could have a picture and he said yes. What a nice guy! He asked me my name, where was a I from, did we like the show...etc. He was really cool and thanked us several times for coming out and being great fans.

So we waited a bit more for Lindsey and after about ten minutes they pulled the suv up right by the door so as to make it difficult. Kristen came out first and did give me a sour look, like oh gawd. :confused: I guess I can understand, but come on, you are married to a famous person. Anyway, Lindsey came out and I asked if I could get a picture. He said "sure." Came over. I then became a sixth grader again and told him he was "awesome" and the show was awesome, which I felt pretty dumb saying, but he said thanks so much. Unfortunately, he is making a funny face in the picture I have (darnit). One thing is for sure...Lindsey is a skinny mini!!!!! He needs to gain some weight. Then some other people came over and got some pictures and autographs. He signed some autographs and said he had to go. He did seem to be in a hurry and not really in a good mood.

So, it was a pretty cool show. He did a great job, but I wish the set list was a bit different. Even my brother, who came with me, and who isn't a huge fan, said he needed to change the set list a bit as some of the songs sounded the same. Anyone else think Lindsey has more fun at the Fleetwood Mac shows?

[michelej1]

So here is my review.

Some songs that stick out for sure....Go Insane...refreshing for a change. Got tired of hearing the acoustic version all these years.

Great review. Thank you. I agree with what you say here. I would say that him doing Go Insane alone is probably better, but because I am so used to it, the full band was exciting. I guess a rest is as good as a change!

Michele

[Lori40]

Nice pics, thanks for posting them. Did he mention Kristen at all during the concert?

[michelej1]

I would think he mentioned her during the Big Love intro, his wife that is. I don't think he mentioned her by name.

Michele

[Lori40]

I thought that AJ had a picture of Kristen, his wife, in his photos, and I was just wondering if Lindsey mentioned that she helped write a couple of his new songs.

[ajmccarrell]

Go Insane with the full band sounded like a wall of power rushing over you. That was my favorite part of the show.

[ajmccarrell]

I thought that AJ had a picture of Kristen, his wife, in his photos, and I was just wondering if Lindsey mentioned that she helped write a couple of his new songs.

Yeah, I wasn't sure that was her because she was seated in the crowd and The Moore has the old fashioned private second floor balconies ala Pretty Woman. She is pretty distinctive looking. She seemed to be in a bad mood. Lindsey didn't seem so much like he wasn't happy as much as he seemed to need to get somewhere, but wanted to be friendly. I mentioned Hoppy and he gave me a really surprised look.

[wondergirl9847]

Hmm...perhaps Kristen being in a bad mood rubbed off on Lindsey? Perhaps they had words before coming out to all the fans...who knows. :shrug:

Glad you guys got to get a pic with LB!! Seems that Seattle doesn't have Camera Nazis as I got some good pics when I saw him there for the UTS tour. I LOVE Seattle. :)

Ya'll are making me VERY excited to hear Go Insane with the full band!! :thumbsup:

Brett is GREAT with the fans. Neil is nice too, but a lot quieter. :)

[ajmccarrell]

The only complaint I had was the guy behind me. He would shout obnoxious things and every time a song ended, he would grab the back of my shoulders and give me a good shake out of his enthusiasm. He also was smoking and he took out a fatty at one point.

[iamnotafraid]

AJM you lucky bast@&# ! :laugh:

[AliP]

He did say something about his wife and having kids changing his life...but did not mention by name.

No, Lindsey did not mention that she helped write any songs.

Yes, I could smell it throughout the entire theatre.

[MacMan]

Great shots ajmccarrell... Thanks for posting them and the show review. Not much of a change with the stage set-up...

Thanks for the recap Ali :wavey:

Great review AliP -- a request...can we see your photo with LB?

As for AJ -- might I ask --- Who is Hoppy?

Thanks for the T-shirt photos. I see where they do have one with the venues on it...but my favorite is the navy one with the guitar (Turner?) & white lettering.

See...now "Hoppy" Hodges I've heard of, but Tom Moncrieff? Still clueless on that one. HA!

[ajmccarrell]

See...now "Hoppy" Hodges I've heard of, but Tom Moncrieff? Still clueless on that one. HA!

Okay, Moncrieff and Hodges are my rhythm section in my band Sinai 48. Gary is also one of my closest friends, Tom not so much, but we get along fine.

Gary "Hoppy" Hodges was the drummer on the Buckingham Nicks LP and also on their one and only tour. He hung out with the Fleetwood Mac crowd until after Tusk was released. He is currently a drummer in Branson, MO. The Buckingham Nicks live tracks that were released were a gift that I got from Hoppy and posted on Nancy's site.

Tom Moncrieff was the bassist from the Buckingham Nicks tour. He was originally a roommate with Lindsey, Stevie, and Richard Dashut. He was also in Walter Egan's band and he later produced Walter Egan's albums "Hi-Fi" and "Wild Exhibitions". He was also in the Malibooz. He also worked on many demos with Stevie, namely "Gypsy" and "Sara". He also co-wrote "Golden Braid" and he played some bass on Bella Donna. He is still friends with Lindsey but not with Stevie. He's also briefly mentioned in Carol Ann's book as the "Tom" that will be with her when Lindsey leaves and she miscarries and has to toss out Walter Egan and his band. Gary is also mentioned, but not by name, as the guy at the Tusk party who jumped in the pool fully clothed. He was wearing a tuxedo apparently.

It's actually just a standard Ramirez style classical guitar. As for Hoppy, see the above post. :)

[Rumours13]

Hi, I'm kind of new in posting but have been around. Just a quick question because I was just a little curious. Do you guys think Kristen is going to be going to every show, and also, where are the children? I would assume at school in LA. I wonder since both parents are not around for thier kids while at school, do they have a nanny taking care of them or relatives? I was thinking of Kristen being an insecure type for some reason and would not want Lindsey to be on the road by himself. I also bet Lindsey would be more relaxed without her around. Just an observation. :D

[gretchen]

I also bet Lindsey would be more relaxed without her around. Just an observation. :D

DING DING!!! You win the prize!!! Would you like a free funnel cake or a pass to get in the moon walk? :laugh:

[michelej1]

I'm sure when they get to the Los Angeles and Anaheim shows that the kids will come too, especially the older ones. I saw will at the Wiltern for the UTS tour and he was organizing his friends to go back stage. Kristen had to run behind him and make sure they had their parents' permission before they followed him. Then, in the audience, his friends fell asleep before the end of the show, but Will didn't.

Kristen probably has a nanny, but I know her mother helps her take care of the children quite often.

Michele

[BTFLCHLD]

at the grove last year, Kristen brought Will and LeeLee...they sat at the table behind me...LeeLee is adorable...after the show, she kept glimpsing at her daddy on the t-shirt I had slipped into during the show...just precious. The only socal show I didn't see her at was Deigo...I have only had good experiences with Kristen...she was perfectly sweet when she came in contact me with anyway... :D & friendly. :shrug:

I doubt that Kristen will be at every show. They may have a nanny to help with the kids, but I think that Michele is right, and that Kristen's mom helps out too. Why do so many people think that Kristen follows Lindsey around because she is insecure or doesn't trust him? Maybe Lindsey wants Kristen with him because he loves her and misses her when he's on the road. Doesn't anyone else have a spouse who travels for work? My husband does, quite often, and we just got into an argument because he would like me to accompany him on more of his business trips, but I don't want to leave our kids too often.

[michelej1]

Oh, she was the best thing on the Bass Hall dvd.

At the Wiltern, both Kristen and Will were wearing green Go Your Own Way t-shirts.

Michele

[BTFLCHLD]

At the Wiltern, both Kristen and Will were wearing green Go Your Own Way t-shirts. I thought it was cool how she clipped the collar, etc. :nod: as soon as I saw, I thought 'I want one just like that!'

[ducky627]

I loved the show! I won't rehash what everyone has already said, but I did want to add a funny tidbit to the storytelling of the night. Towards the end of the concert, long after GOS, he was introducing a new song (perhaps Did You Miss Me or maybe Treason?) and started talking about the new album. He seemed to get a little lost talking about it and then completely stopped talking when he couldn't remember the date or day GOS was being released. He looked over to Neal and then Brett and still no answer, he laughed nervously and then someone from the balcony yelled "Tuesday". Everyone laughed including Lindsey, he reitirated "Tuesday" and started playing. It was cute, spontaneous and funny.

I am cautious to drop into the fray on this but Kristen, who was just a couple rows in front of me, took pictures all night, some from her seat and most from down at the stage, house left. Par for the course, everytime I've seen her she's been taking pictures, I mean, she is a photographer after all.

One last thing, I miss being able to stand and dance to his songs. Do you have any idea how hard it is to dance while sitting down to IKINW? Sigh. I haven't been able to dance to that song since Spokane in 2004. I hate having to wait until GYOW to stand (dance).

Stepping off my soap box....I hope the rest of the tour is just as wonderful!

She's been with him for over 10 years and she hasn't put out a Lindsey Buckingham coffee table book yet. What kind of wife is she?

[natesummers]

So, are photos allowed in the venue? I only ask because at the OTS Cincinnati show, it was a conflict. It said we could, but then I was told to put the camera away or be booted out ...
