View Full Version : My Boise Concert Review

Just a quick review of the Boise show - I know David MN was there recognized him from all his pictures so I'm sure he will fill in on alot! The setlist was the same as "Saban" show.

First of all the venue was extremely small - I think holds 750 people and there were alot of empty seats. I would say maybe 500 people there. When he first came out it was pretty quiet - he did his accoustic songs. They sounded great. Wish he would do Trouble the old way though. Not a big fan of the acoustic version. Go Insane, Big Love same as usual.

The show didn't start really pumping until the band came out. The crowd was actually awesome for being so small. People were yelling, screaming and whistling throughout. Even Lindsey commented "Hey this is the best small crowd we have ever played!" It was actually surprising people were so enthused as I didn't think he had that many fans in Boise.

There were alot of speeches, but honestly they all sound the same to me!! Movies, directors, cycles, changes etc!!!!! I think we all know the speeches by now so I won't elaborate!! All My Sorrows - please drop and add another song!!

I think it was around Tusk that David MN got the crowd to jump up to the stage! That was when things started rocking! Can't believe Lindsey remembered me from my past adventures pointing at me saying "I remember YOU!" and gave me a guitar pick so that was awesome. Once that happened a drunk lady started yelling for him to give her his pants -he kept saying "What do you want?" And she would yell "your pants cause you put the pick in your pocket." And he would say "she wants my pants." Anyway this conversation went back and forth with Neal joining in at some point. It was actually pretty funny - everyone was laughing. Could tell he was having a good time.

GYOW - he went back and forth from the stage. Not sure he lets people play his guitar anymore. I stuck my hand up there and played a string or two, not sure he was expecting that! He came out for the encore 3 songs - Turn it On was a nice change up. Said he had a great time in Boise and loved the crowd. Overall a great show. I got a few pictures, but not sure how they turned out. Will post them later if they are any good.

That sounds really hilarious. I'm glad to hear that the crowd was enthusiastic since people were commenting that the Reno audience seemed sedate. I know that kind of feedback just makes the band give even more.

And he recognized you too! That's priceless.

copying from DavidMn travel thread since this is really specific to Boise - and i thought it was so cool when i first saw it:


this girl tweeted how she went out in Boise yesterday night and ran into LB at some pub, after his concert... how cool is that?

here are her tweets:

@KSKHome Got to chat w/ Lindsay Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac) here in Boise last night while walking back 2 our hotel after visiting local pubs...crazy!

@KSKHome @ellellew we were visiting the pubs and ran into him at one...

Security was not stringent, however, when we arrived they said no cameras or videos.

The only time I saw security come up to someone and ask him to stop was when a man was holding his phone up for about 4 minutes straight recording (very obvious).

I didn't have any problems taking pictures though and security didn't have any problems letting people go to the stage.

He came on almost right at 8:00, maybe a few minutes after that.

Great review! One thing I cannot stand though is People only taking video of fleetwood Mac songs! Im dying to see Turn it On and The Way Love Goes. I suppose I can wait for my show.

At this point, the people here would stop recording when GYOW starts. How many more of those do we need?

I will say that these two songs were probably my favorites of the night. The Way Love Goes was really fun, the whole crowd up front kinda jumped up and down with the chorus. Of course Turn It On is a gem because it really is surprising that he would choose such a rare song song to play when he has so many to choose from. You won't be disapponted!

Honestly, at this point I think he needs to drop Go Insane.

Oh believe me, I am well aware. I've been living off the audio of those tracks since April. My point was that there are so few Lindsey audience recordings at his shows. When we do get some video its usually his FM stuff which we all have. I just wish we had more of the lesser played stuff!

Ali, I think it is SO cool that the Boise audience was up and dancing for the majority of the show. I've seen Lindsey solo 7 times and the only ONE time was I able to stand for the majority of the show. I am very jealous of your experience. I hope my crowds are just as vivacious.

And yes, TIO is my guilty pleasure Lindsey song, my absolute #1 from OOTC. So thrilled to see it back in the set! :blob1:

I love this song - my favourite from the new album - so am really excited to hear it live!

I wish security at all these places would either just say cameras are fine or none at all. It leaves me not knowing what to do!!
