Seattle tonight!!

[bombaysaffires]

Just arriving. Fantastic crowd! So happy for them!! We had to park a couple miles away and walk. Very excited. Anyone else here??

[bombaysaffires]

Their opening act is a solo chick with guitar. Kelly somebody. No Wildflowers. Got tee shirt and signed LP. Opener said she met Christine backstage and she was so nice. No mention of Lindsey. The winery still open and the crowd taking full advantage. lol

tee shirt (this was the alternative to the one that has the album cover on the front and all the tour dates on the back. This only has their names on front and that's it:

They're playing a recording of acoustic guitar version of think about me


Ok here's the audio-- sorry the video sucks, but I wasn't trying to capture any visuals, just the audio of Think About Me and one other I can't recognize. So close your eyes. ; )

They're playing a recording of acoustic guitar version of think about me

Wow! I think it's the first time they play it for the BuckVie tour, right? :]:]

[bombaysaffires]

Trouble which got a nice response. Now Wish You Were Here. She's playing a soft synth line you can't hear on videos. Very slow, downbeat way to start I must say. :(


Since everyone was having different opinions of the quality of their voices, here's Trouble where I think he sounds great. She seems like she's not being given enough to do here but watch him, though in person it did *seem* to sound like she was playing a very soft synth line accompaniment.

Wish You Were Here.... the vocals are bit wobbly, and you can kinda barely hear her synthesizer part:

love your reporting! hope you have amazing time tonight!!
Wow! I think it's the first time they play it for the BuckVie tour, right? :]:]
pretty sure it's been a regular part of those LB instrumentals they play before every FM, LB or BM show. i've heard TAM instrumental at several of the BuckVie shows i went to. LB should add these to that box set he's thinking of - would be a perfect opportunity for fans to finally get them!

[bombaysaffires]

Slow version NGBA. Now solo song (Shut Us Down). Poor Christine. Jesus. She's just a prop onstage to him. Very not cool.


NGBA..he sounded good:

She is playing soft synth in SUD. He's in fantastic voice.

Or maybe she's filing her nails back there-- she's looking down at her hands. (just kidding, she was playing)

[elle]

Slow. Ngba. Now solo song. Poor Christine. Jesus. She's just a prop onstage to him. Very not cool.
Trouble and SUD must go. wish they changed that up in that little break they had fiddling with the rest of the mac. ;)

[bombaysaffires]

SATC. Blows the ears off you!! Lots fake vocals. Sounds like munchkins.


Here's his intro patter before the song where he announces he and Christine have recorded a NEW ALBUM!!!

<iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mH583V2JMXQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


And here's the end of the song. The clip of this is short. Bums me I don't have video so you can judge the backing vocal tracks. :(

[bombaysaffires]

At least it's a duet on the verses.

[bombaysaffires]

FAY. She sounds great! She's been dancing during his stuff. She's not playing on this one though. All Brett. :(


<iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LaUkMMrfGzY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[bombaysaffires]

In My World. Lots of echoey vocals on chorus. Very rockin live though



<iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nSpL-W0gIoQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[bombaysaffires]

Too Far Gone. Chris "who wants to hear a couple of old ones?? This one's kinda old". Hold Me. The notes are hard for her on the chorus. Got everyone rushing the stage. Followed by Little Lies which got a fantastic response as well.


(Apparently I was too busy dancing or something to record Hold Me) :(
Too Far Gone--This includes the drum solo and it does seem to validate the comment my partner made during the show that there are supplemental drum/percussion tracks being played, because when you watch the drummer he is clearly not playing all the drum parts you are hearing, and there is no other percussionist/drummer onstage:

Visuals of Chris jamming with the band during the instrumental bits:

Little Lies--- The first video is when I was going down to the front of the stage, and then when I get there they start the song. You can hear her vocal, it's a bit off, but nothing horrible. The second video is them in the chorus, and you can hear he's a bit off also:

[HomerMcvie]

FABY. She sounds great! She's been dancing during his stuff. She's not playing though. All Brett

This is SOOOOOO F*CKING CHEESY!!!! WHY do they think she doesn't need to play SOMETHING? Play a f*cking organ chord, for god's sake!

Could she not remember the parts, or her hands are the problem(IF that's the problem, let it be known)? Or, "hey, don't worry about it, we'll just play with tracks now....EVERYBODY does it! Just stand there and pretend that you're playing"?

This karaoke machine is lame AF!

[bombaysaffires]

Tusk. I ran to the front. Lindsey blabbing. I'm in front of Chris. He started with the "we still had the same vibe after all these years. How is that possible?" It got quiet and I yelled "its maaaagic!" He stopped, cracked up and goes " oh you've heard this before clearly. Many tines!" Laughing

[bombaysaffires]

Red Sun. I'm right in front of speakers. The harmonies are a bit off. Especially him. But great energy! Fake oooh oooh oooh.

Ok, here's the thing with this one-- I did NOT KNOW I was recording this. I was not INTENDING to record this. However, being the doof I am, with the phone in my hand as I was waving my hands all over and embarrassing myself bopping around, I clearly hit the record button. I am including it here because you can clearly hear the vocals on Red Sun, and I think the audio addresses some of the discussions that have been going on about the quality of her vocals during shows. I think she sounds terrific, very on-key. I think he doesn't sound as good... And he seems to be so much louder in the mix, and I wish he wasn't. It's her song and I would have preferred to hear her voice louder than his.

WARNING: Do not attempt to actually watch this without a heavy dose of Dramamine. Seriously, people. It's bad. But do listen. It starts abut 00:16

<iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MXjO9Q93pAQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This was followed by You Make Loving Fun, which she really seemed to struggle with. It's painful at the start. (I think I stayed on Brett for so long coz I was intrigued to try and figure out which keyboard part he was playing and if he was playing more than her).

[iamnotafraid]

Hey folks, I'm getting a little tired of the acronyms.


Too old to think.

[bombaysaffires]

Standing O for him through whole solo bit. Sorry but it's hard to type in the dark jumping in front of speakers at my age. Acronyms will need do

[iamnotafraid]

Acronyms will need do

Oh, it's not just you my friend.

[bombaysaffires]

GYOW. Standing o. Now Everywhere. No acronym for that. :)

I don't seem to have video for this one-- I was too busy jumping up and down and cheering and singing. I'm sure there's someone else out there with some video........

[elle]

Tusk. I ran to front. Lindsey blabbing. I'm in front of Chris. . He started with the "we still had the same vibe after all these years. How is that possible?" It got quiet and I yelled "its maaaagic!" He cracked up and goes " oh you've heard this before clearly. Many tines!" Laughing ��
love it and that you managed to run to the front!!:] and that he finally started some back and forth with the audience! hopefully the tour is finally loosening up!

[bombaysaffires]

"We're gonna do just a couple more. New ones." But first intro band. Lindsey gushing how much chemistry they have with them too

[bombaysaffires]

Lay Down For Free. Lots people bailing. Morons. More of the canned vocals. Grrr. Chris just standing to side clapping.


Apparently I got no video of this one either....... :(

(I think I might have had to run to the loo during part of this one)

[bombaysaffires]

Game of Pretend. Nice percussion accompaniment. Her voice sounds good!! I think she writes new stuff in her current range. The old ones harder.

Again, this may allow people to make some of their own judgements about her voice. In person it sounded good but on the video I gotta say she does sound wobbly on this one. And the fake backing vocals are in evidence. :(

[bombaysaffires]

Lots of chatter as everyone talks about how good the show was. Someone said "she doesn't sound the same but he's great!" She actually sounded better than him on a lot.

[bombaysaffires]

We finally got through all the traffic and made it home. The venue was great.... outdoors at a winery about 35 mins outside Seattle. Perfect weather......

Overall a very good show, great energy......eventually. The opening acoustic bit is just a drag..... it should be moved in the middle or just whittled down to one from her and one from him. They have so many more up tempo hits they could do-- Think About Me for one! It really felt like Lindsey was the headliner the whole night, but especially so at the beginning. It was so uncomfortable watching Chris just stand there while he sang--- they went on around 820 or so and it doesn't get dark here til well after 9/930 so it was very much still daylight and you could really see her just ...... there. She was playing soft synth lines on songs that you could hear in person but I had not been able to hear on people's videos.

The crowd was mostly sitting quietly through the beginning although Trouble got a very strong response and the Never Going Back got huge recognition and people started standing and clapping and singing along. But it wasn't until Hold Me that everyone really got up, the whole place on their feet and then tons of people going to the front of the stage, and even more during Little Lies. And then people stayed there pretty much for the rest of the show. I went down front during Little Lies. Then they did Tusk. Chris's stage makeup is VERY heavy. And she is like super skinny. She was interacting with the audience... everyone was holding up phones recording... she's gotten savvy about it and when she saw people with a phone she would stop, and sort of lean forward towards their phone camera and smile, making sure they got a good shot. She was kind of walking back and forth and I jumped up and waved and she came back towards her side and then everyone was waving and hollering to her.

Lindsey put on a fantastic show as always. Amazing energy. His voice sounded very good during the opening acoustic songs. His harmonies during the more upbeat songs with Chris showed some real wear and tear... She sounded quite good on the new stuff. It seems like she's gotten her bearings and has settled into the set nicely. The volume was too loud, actually, even when Lindsey was talking the speakers distorted his voice quite a bit.

Not a fan of the canned vocals. :distress: Really, on some songs it sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks were backing them up. Disappointed Chris didn't play keys on her own song (Feel About You). It was all Brett.

The staging and lighting and all were quite good. Tasteful; not overdone. The purple and red lighting which does NOT video well at ALL on ISA is great. The lighting on Jimmy Paxson during the drum solo bits on Too Far Gone was cool.

I still wonder with Christine's voice--- it sounded so warm and like honey on In The Meantime....... :(

Again though, it felt like a Lindsey show with Chris kinda bolted on. She was onstage the whole time, but her stage presence is different than his... she's never been flashy, and so the contrast with him was kinda glaring. When he and Stevie are onstage as a twosome, it's like a very even back and forth, trading off the spotlight.

I felt like they could have done more Christine hits. She has more than anyone in the band.... too many of his solo songs. Maybe that's just me. :shrug:

It was hilarious that he seemed to hear my shout out during his spiel. He just stopped and cracked up, and said the bit about "You've heard this one before... clearly. MANY times!!" and then just laughed some more. Then he resumed. As much as I wish they'd cut ISA, man the crowd does love it and goes bonkers for it. Sigh.

That's all I can say for now. I'll see how my photos and videos came out and figure out a way to load them. I was using photo bucket but now they want me to pay because I only use it to upload things here.

Everyone with tickets to upcoming shows will love it!

[kuchagirl]

Hi,

I was at the Seattle show, too. I agree with a lot of what the OP said.

I thought Christine really filled the space she was allotted: her songs are so iconic: Hold Me, You Make Loving Fun, Everywhere, Wish You Were Here, and more. I was so glad that she could shine, as she did, with about half the showtime being for her songs.

I couldn't understand why "Lay Down for Free" was his closing song. He must hold it in higher esteem than I do. That was an incongruous moment.

"Hold Me" was the first most openly celebrated song of the evening. People were singing along, dancing, a crowd started gathering at the front of the stage. That's really one of FM's key songs, and personally it's not at the top of my list, but it's totally worthy, and they did it well.

I've seen Lindsey 4 times, and this night in Seattle I felt he was having the most fun I've seen him have while performing.

I loved that they just plunged into most songs without an introductory "this song is about.. redemption" or whatever has been said in the past. Lindsey did go on a schpiel about L&C's newfound chemistry, but at least it only happened once, and that's just the way Lindsey acts! Compared to the OP, I had a different interpretation of the interruption to Lindsey's speech. I thought that Christine was listening, and - when Lindsey said "I think I know what it is that makes our chemistry so great (paraphrase)," Christine said "tell me!" and then Lindsey said to her, "oh, you've heard this so many times." I didn't hear an audience member shout something out, but both could have happened simultaneously.

It was a fantastic concert: great weather, great tunes, couldn't ask for more.

[kuchagirl]

One more thing about the Seattle show: A standing O for Tusk!

[jbrownsjr]

Both great reviews. You guys had me feeling like I was there.

Thanks for taking time to posts... and the real time updates had me refreshing every 20 seconds. :lol:

[elle]

Game of Pretend. Nice percussion accompaniment. Her voice sounds good!! I think she writes new stuff in her current range. The old ones harder.

That's interesting and different from the first batch of shows and I'm happy to hear Christine is getting into her groove with the new songs. At the shows I've seen she did great with her old songs but struggled with new ones especially Red Sun and FAY. I still wonder about the weird use of canned vocals in completely unnecessary places yet no use of either canned vocals or auto tune for her vocals in verses of those 2 songs that completely got lost at my shows. Makes no sense whatsoever.

As far as the stage presence, I've never noticed it as being lopsided and thought she has a plenty of stage presence and interactions with the audience and that her presence definitely nicely balances with his. But maybe I just paid more attention to her since I'm used to him?

[elle]

Both great reviews. You guys had me feeling like I was there.

Yes! And I blame you Bombay for my lack of sleep cos I loved your updates so much that I stayed up way too late for a workday here on the east coast!

[vivfox]

Overall a very good show, great energy......eventually. The opening acoustic bit is just a drag..... it should be moved in the middle or just whittled down to one from her and one from him.

Your entire review was enjoyable to read but I'm not a fan of people quoting an entire post and didn't mean to only quote the negative aspect cause ur review was fair and honest. And I got the gist that you really enjoyed yourself and the show was worth it.

I was at the Seattle show, too. I agree with a lot of what the OP said.
It was a fantastic concert: great weather, great tunes, couldn't ask for more.
I enjoyed your review of the part where the other guy said he yelled something to LB but that you saw it as an exchange between LB & CM. Different angles are always a plus for me.

That's interesting and different from the first batch of shows and I'm happy to hear Christine is getting into her groove with the new songs.

Your enthusiasm for this tour is infectious. I am sorry I gave a bad review earlier in their tour and that my words had a domino effect. If they add another local show I would like to go. After all, these are my people and I love their new songs. They deserve our support.

[jbrownsjr]

Yes! And I blame you Bombay for my lack of sleep cos I loved your updates so much that I stayed up way too late for a workday here on the east coast!

I always keep you awake... All I have to do is start talking BuckVie. :lol:

[button-lip]

If they add another local show I would like to go. After all, these are my people and I love their new songs. They deserve our support.

They're our people, indeed. All of them. Even though I sometimes joke (and not so much) about Stevie, she's one of the five reasons why I love this band so much. And there must be something magical (like Lindsey says) that make them come back to that same place over and over again (other than money, of course :laugh:)

I'll stay with my band and let's get on with the show, let's get on, let's get on. :blob2::blob2:

[bombaysaffires]

love your reporting! hope you have amazing time tonight!!

pretty sure it's been a regular part of those LB instrumentals they play before every FM, LB or BM show. i've heard TAM instrumental at several of the BuckVie shows i went to. LB should add these to that box set he's thinking of - would be a perfect opportunity for fans to finally get them!

thanks... and I agree.... those instrumentals would be fantastic. At first it made me think of the instrumental he is shown playing in that video about the making of the BuckVie album-- you know where the camera guy walks into another little room and finds Lindsey sitting on the floor playing and recording himself into his iPhone. But then I recognized it was him playing FM stuff.

Trouble and SUD must go. wish they changed that up in that little break they had fiddling with the rest of the mac. ;)
Trouble actually woke the crowd up because so many people recognized it... but SUD drags way too much.


This is SOOOOOO F*CKING CHEESY!!!! WHY do they think she doesn't need to play SOMETHING? Play a f*cking organ chord, for god's sake!

Could she not remember the parts, or her hands are the problem(IF that's the problem, let it be known)? Or, "hey, don't worry about it, we'll just play with tracks now....EVERYBODY does it! Just stand there and pretend that you're playing"?

This karaoke machine is lame AF!

Her hands seemed just fine. I highly doubt that has anything to do with it... coz even when she's not playing she's clapping along, banging on the maracas, playing the accordion, etc. I think LB recorded everything on FAY without her (as he's said, he took and totally changed it around on her) and so she lets them play it coz the style is just not hers.

As for the karaoke machine-- it really wasn't as bad as I feared (but maybe that's coz I really had expectations that it would all over the lead vocals on songs too). it wasn't; it was just on the choruses as far as I could tell but it WAS obvious. I'll have to see if I can get some videos posted.... I was standing directly in front of the two speakers that sat on the stage and faced towards the audience that carried his and her vocals. On some of them I was inadvertently recording (I thought I'd shut the phone off but it must have turned on in my hand so the visuals suck coz my hands were waving around (get your dramamine)) but what's kinda cool about the audio is that you hear super clearly both of their lead vocals coming out of those speakers. Then you can hear for yourself.

Hi,

all of the above! Glad there was another Ledgie there:woohoo: I thought he still had a number of blabby intros, but was definitely more contained than he has been previously.

I like that you used the word "allotted" for Christine's time. I'm not sure that this is how you intended it, but to me it fits in that during the show, for me anyway, it felt like she was "given" or "allotted" some time in HIS show. I think after having slept on it maybe it wasn't quite that harsh but still I continue to feel that the first part with them coming on and him doing his songs on guitar and her just standing there that that was not the way to start a show on a tour that is about them working together. :(

Yes! And I blame you Bombay for my lack of sleep cos I loved your updates so much that I stayed up way too late for a workday here on the east coast!

Well if you weren't such a LB groupie, elle.....:lol:

[jbrownsjr]

Lots of chatter as everyone talks about how good the show was. Someone said "she doesn't sound the same but he's great!" She actually sounded better than him on a lot.

Was it a full house?

This karaoke machine is lame AF!

Was it a full house?

it sure seemed like it....there are two sections of reserved seats (plastic patio chairs on a concrete pad with some rope around them) and the rest is sitting on the grass on blankets or beach chairs people bring with them. And it seemed wall to wall people to me.

Maybe kuchagirl can give his/her opinion as well.

The crowd energy was great once it got going and the band seemed to really draw from it.

[jbrownsjr]

That's awesome about the crowd and energy. This (Seattle) was the first date they had on the website.

Elle reported great crowd energy as well. I'll be in Vegas... I just can't wait. :blob1::wavey:

[bombaysaffires]

I'm going to try and upload photos and some videos from last night's show. I am going to try and embed the links/images into the posts they are related to.... so you'll have to go back through each of the posts made during the show to see a pic/vid related to the topic. Not sure how well this will work but I'll try. So far the first image was of the merchandise booth that seemed to load ok. more to follow I hope. :shrug:

Anyone have suggestions for the best way to load videos? Do I have to post them on youtube for the easiest way??

[bombaysaffires]

Here's them taking the stage. Kinda caught a lot of the audience off guard because there was no announcement, they just walked out quietly. I'd caught a glimpse of them behind the sheer curtain and was waiting for them to come out.

The video and all the others I post will have varying degrees of shakiness because I was either bouncing to the music or moving around/standing/sitting to get a shot over/around the people in front of me who moved a lot. :sorry:

https://youtu.be/7XdTu4F2eIs

[bombaysaffires]

Can someone tell me how to embed the videos and not just the links?? :sorry:

I've got them all ready to go

[SisterNightroad]

If you click with the right on your mouse a tab will open, you just have to select the option that says something like "copy embedding code" (for me it's the third one from the top) and then past it on your post.

I know. That's almost too bad that there won't be "new" notifications.

should i just skip it and make the videos all new posts?:shrug:

[bombaysaffires]

ok these are for elle, I need your help to be sure these are right:

I embedded this one in the post for Shut Us Down because in my camera it comes between WYWH and NGBA which was the song sequence, but honestly, I can't tell from this music:

And this one is also unidentified by me, it's one of the recorded pieces playing before they came out (the video sucks so don't watch, just listen!):

oh sure, rub it in :(

I've been so busy with work, I never went back to see if there were VIP packages.

Do we know if this is what this was? Looks like it could also have been a corporate thing, given who they work for. ...

first one is NGBA. tsk tsk how many FM shows have you been to??

there were no VIP packages, at least not regularly sold. also this - somebody reported in our LB facebook group that they saw LB leisurely strolling the streets of Seattle just a few hours ago. :)

He played the second one between NGBA and SUD......

you mean the first one? it's the beginning of NGBA - he starts it really really slow before he goes in the regular NGBA melody. so not in between but right before NGBA.

i just went through all vids you inserted in your posts - highly enjoyable that way!

you know this was the first BuckVie show where the real spirit of LB solo tours seemed to finally make the appearance? you all could run up to the stage not only the first row like in those performance centers. he let you all strum the guitar during GYOW. he was joking with you and responding to audience questions (and yes if you are further away you won't hear what fans upfront said off the mic, but LB usually hears it and responds during solo shows. he even did once to me during 2013 FM show in Jones Beach (when he was plugging their new EP). do you think he recognized you? either way love that the spirit of LB solo shows finally started permeating BuckVie tour, he was way too serious on their first leg!

Vegas was 2007

2008 and 2009 were Seattle

[elle]

Your enthusiasm for this tour is infectious. I am sorry I gave a bad review earlier in their tour and that my words had a domino effect. If they add another local show I would like to go. After all, these are my people and I love their new songs. They deserve our support.
very nice, thanks for saying that. but yeah, you didn't see their show so you couldn't really give a review. glad you changed your mind about trying to see it after all - there's NYC show on Aug 10th and Bethlehem on Aug 11, i think those are easily driveable from where you are?

[elle]

Vegas was 2007

you my friend are really slacking on LB shows! you do know he also toured in 2011 and 2012? :xoxo: ;)

[bombaysaffires]

you my friend are really slacking on LB shows! you do know he also toured in 2011 and 2012? :xoxo: ;)

yep. reflects my schedule :eek: :mad:

[bombaysaffires]

Ok I *think* I've loaded most of the relevant videos. You'll need to go back through and find the videos for each song in the post that was made during that song in the show.

I hope they sound good for most people; when I listen on my desktop with my Bose speakers it sounds amazingly like you are there. When I listen on my laptop with just its little speaker they sound quite tinny. :distress:

Her voice could be rather pitchy across the show. Some songs I thought she sounded great, like Red Sun and then others really bad like You Make Loving Fun.

I thought he sounded great on his acoustic numbers, but his harmonies with her were pretty rough.

I'll be curious what others think of this show from the videos.

Enjoy.

edited to add: I have the band intros as well, but didn't know that anyone really cares to see those.

[elle]

Red Sun. I'm right in front of speakers. The harmonies are a bit off. Especially him. But great energy! Fake oooh oooh oooh.

Ok, here's the thing with this one-- I did NOT KNOW I was recording this. I was not INTENDING to record this. However, being the doof I am, with the phone in my hand as I was waving my hands all over and embarrassing myself bopping around, I clearly hit the record button. I am including it here because you can clearly hear the vocals on Red Sun, and I think the audio addresses some of the discussions that have been going on about the quality of her vocals during shows. I think she sounds terrific, very on-key. I think he does NOT sound as good... And he seems to be so much louder in the mix, and I wish he wasn't. It's her song and I would have preferred to hear her voice louder than his.

This was followed by You Make Loving Fun, which she really seemed to struggle with. It's painful at the start. (I think I stayed on Brett for so long coz I was intrigued to try and figure out which keyboard part he was playing and if he was playing more than her).

ohh this is really interesting to hear from that speaker / filtered through your phone! what i'm going to say you need to take with a perspective that all 3 shows i was right in the middle between speakers, so sounds filtered can be different.

so i can tell you that at the first show i've seen, he did not sing at all with her on Red Sun verses. she sang alone, and skipped half of them. if you mentally filter his harmonies out on your recording, she is mostly singing the whole verse now, but at the times she goes pitchy she just skips some little parts. at my 2nd show, he sang the main melody with her, but really quietly. so there were some verses there but not complete. she barely sang, at my 3rd show (they performed another show in between), they kinda sang similarly to your recording - she main melody he harmonies, except you did not hear him louder - wonder whether that was a fluke (like his mic was set too loud) or that is just the way speaker in front of you and/or your phone filtered it. when i record with certain cameras i can hear nothing but bass or drums on my recordings while with other cameras you can hear the whole spectrum of sounds. happy to say that her main melody sounds much better now than at my shows!! so by august they should have it down perfectly!!

Well so far I can tell you that I loved the Red Rover video. You made excuses for your filming but I'd say you did a wonderful job and your device records beautifully. Thank you.

it definitely wasn't the phone, because that's how it sounded in person as well. So if anything it could have been the speakers. There were two side by side sitting on the stage and because he was so much louder it was hard to tell but it seemed like maybe one speaker was off his mic and one off hers...?

Like I mentioned earlier he seemed mixed very up front in the mix last night, and too loud-- even when he spoke between songs he was so loud that it distorted his voice. :shrug:

You'd think they'd be traveling with their own sound mixer and not using locals at each show, but...:shrug:

[bombaysaffires]

don't see them on your youtube site?

no, haven't posted so far. wasn't sure anyone wanted to see them.

I can post them later.....I've been mucking around with these damned things all afternoon...... I need a break from them for a bit! :eek:

you would! even on those OMS shows when he travelled with bare minimum he had a sound guy with him. hope it gets better on the next 4 shows! still, glad you enjoyed it and found time to record and report all that in between!!

[bombaysaffires]

Well so far I can tell you that I loved the Red Rover video. You made excuses for your filming but I'd say you did a wonderful job and your device records beautifully. Thank you.

Red Rover videos came from elle. I posted some pre recorded audio that was playing before BuckVie came onstage that I couldn't recognize, and elle thought it might be RR. I'm not sure.

[bombaysaffires]

I'm not saying they are using locals, I would definitely think he travels with his own person. But then it raises the question about why so much seeming variability between shows??

The videos from our seats should give you a better sense of the overall mixed sound.. we were in the middle and not too far back but far enough (maybe like 20 rows) so that we were getting sound from all directions.

[bombaysaffires]

ohh this is really interesting to hear from that speaker / filtered through your phone! what i'm going to say you need to take with a perspective that all 3 shows i was right in the middle between speakers, so sounds filtered can be different.

so i can tell you that at the first show i've seen, he did not sing at all with her on Red Sun verses. she sang alone, and skipped half of them. if you mentally filter his harmonies out on your recording, she is mostly singing the whole verse now, but at the times she goes pitchy she just skips some little parts. at my 2nd show, he sang the main melody with her, but really quietly. so there were some verses there but not complete. she barely sang, at my 3rd show (they performed another show in between), they kinda sang similarly to your recording - she main melody he harmonies, except you did not hear him louder - wonder whether that was a fluke (like his mic was set too loud) or that is just the way speaker in front of you and/or your phone filtered it. when i record with certain cameras i can hear nothing but bass or drums on my recordings while with other cameras you can hear the whole spectrum of sounds. happy to say that her main melody sounds much better now than at my shows!! so by august they should have it down perfectly!!

His vocal on Little Lies were rather rough also:sorry:

Christine looks so good lately. I like her shoes.

[bombaysaffires]

she's way skinnier in person :eek:

[HomerMcvie]

she's way skinnier in person :eek:

And this was the first time I've ever been(made my way to) front row.

I'd never realized that she practically has no boobs.:eek:

[sue]

She's also the only person able to wear tighter jeans than Lindsey....

[aleuzzi]

Yeah, I remember a London reporter doing a story on her back in 2004 remarked that in person she's "taller and rangier than her photos suggest."

these photos actually make her look chubby compared to how she looks in person. no joke.

I think she looks thin here :shrug:

[bombaysaffires]

there were no VIP packages, at least not regularly sold. also this - somebody reported in our LB facebook group that they saw LB leisurely strolling the streets of Seattle just a few hours ago. :)

I just saw this post. Oh elle, you really are determined to break my heart, aren't you???

On the way home I was musing about where they would be staying.... my bet was the Four Seasons downtown for him.....maybe her too. Sadly, it's not the best Four Seasons and I've always found the service not up to what you'd expect at one.... The Fairmont recently got a major makeover (the decor was very dated-- very like the country house of a very old and eccentric English squire. It's now much more modern and sleek).

I didn't check their tour schedule to see how soon the next show was. They certainly got excellent weather and could see the sun actually does shine here. ;)

[bombaysaffires]

I think she looks thin here :shrug:

that was my point ;)

if she looks this thin in pics, and she's actually thinner in person, that's realllllly thin!

[Lola]

I saw them in Chicago and she's skinny. Not unhealthy looking (to me) just skinny. My dad is the same way and he's 70. He's always been thin, plus some older people lose weight as they age.

There's hope for me yet!

Me, too. I'm short and thick like Stevie.

I can't wait to get old....to get slim (slimmer)
Tho I think red wine just might stop that from happening.

I was skinny my whole life and once I hit close to 50 I started gaining weight out of nowhere.... and exercise isn't helping :eek::mad:

ok, for elle :laugh: here are the band intros from Seattle.. :xoxo:

Thanks for sharing your experience with us! :wavey:

Christine is 74?! She looks really fit. However she does sound pitchy on certain songs. From a vocal standpoint, is Chris losing some of her power?

I was super slim till I got to about 60....gave up work, and got plump, which I HATE and it's impossible to shift..

I do walk everywhere and eat really healthily but......do like a glass of red wine in the evening...

C'est la vie...

All 3 of them are. 40+ years singing live will do that to anybody. All things considered they're all doing quite well.

How would you rate your overall concert experience? Could you compare it to other concerts you've seen solo band members or FM? Last time I saw FM was on the SYW tour and I've seen Stevie a few times solo since then. Really thought those shows were great. Just trying to get some perspective on how you feel about the BuckVie show in relation to other shows?

Just trying to get some perspective on how you feel about the BuckVie show in relation to other shows?

I thought it was great fun. It starts slow; as I noted earlier the acoustic opening really starts the show on a slow note... and a lot of people don't know Shut Us Down or Wish You Were Here to be totally blunt. Trouble is recognizable and then of course Never Going Back Again. That's 3 LB songs and 1 Christine and I don't think that's quite fair..... Love Will Show Us How was her single off her first solo album and did well, and Lindsey was on Who's Dreaming This Dream which if they wanted a slower tempo Chris solo song (LWSUH is rather upbeat and bouncy) that would work in that opening section too.......

Once they get through those first 4 songs the show has a nice momentum and rocks!

So I would highly recommend it as a nice way to see the two of them doing stuff you won't see at a FM show. I was lucky the audience in Seattle had really good energy (maybe all the wine!) and I could see where an audience that stays seated and quiet could really kill the buzz.

I haven't gone to a band tour since Chris left and didn't see them yet since she's come back. I'm not such a fan of large arena shows (crowds) as I used to be so for me seeing BuckVie in a smaller venue was perfect. And it was outside which was even better. I like the venues Lindsey plays solo as well. I've seen shows at 3 of his solo tours in the last ten years; I've seen multiple Stevie shows but honestly not since the 90s. Getting older I guess; when I was in my 20s and 30s I was at concerts almost every month.

The band is excellent (BuckVie band) and if you've seen Lindsey solo he's got that same type of energy here (at least in Seattle.... elle indicates maybe he was far more serious earlier in the tour. maybe he and Chris got into the wine at the winery before the show too!!) Plenty of rocking energy after those first few songs. ....

What do other people who've gone to shows think??

[bombaysaffires]

here's them taking the stage....no announcement, they just quietly walked out.

Buckingham, McVie Concert - July 19, 2017

20 Jul 2017, 21:02 #1

Terrific sold out 90 minute show at Ste Michelle in Woodinville WA on Wednesday. I've now seen each duo combination of the Fleetwood Mac front persons. In 1987 at the Coliseum: Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie with Billy Burnette and Rick Vito replacing Lindsey Buckingham to tour Tango In The Night. In 2013 at the Tacoma Dome with just Nicks and Buckingham. McVie left FMac for fifteen years before returning in 2014.

The new self titled Buckingham-McVie album contains several songs that were co-written by them, probably more than all their songs for FM. Besides playing some FM hits and deep cuts, they played eight songs from the new album and I liked every one. They're catchy pop rock songs, several of which could have been radio hits back in the 70s and 80s when FM tunes were played on the radio. I'll be getting the album. Most any song that contains Buckingham's guitar and great vocal harmonies by five singers is a-ok with me. Three of the four backing players sang. McVie's voice was a little weak, especially in contrast to Buckingham's, especially when she sang Wish You Were Here following his bellowing of Trouble to start the show. She's 73, he's 67.

I've seen Buckingham several times, but still can't get enough of his master guitar work, including his unique finger stylings, sometimes classical, and tasty electric rock solos. Great tone too, especially on his custom Rick Turner Model One. I suppose you could compare his finger work to Clapton or James Taylor, but much snappier and percussive than theirs. His acoustic picking of a Taylor 814ce was on display from the get-go on Trouble, with just him and McVie on stage for the first four songs. Besides more fingering, his exuberant vocals were there too for the other two of the first four, Never Going Back Again and Shut Us Down. Of the four, McVie just sang Wish You Were Here. I was a little disappointed that neither added backup vocals on those four songs. Buckingham did the talking, mostly about getting together for the new album and the usual, "Nice setting. Glad you came".

McVie left her keyboard stack to sing Everywhere, walked around the stage a little on one song and while playing accordion on Tusk. The guitarist/keyboardist/singer, long time FM, Buckingham, Nicks, etc, sideman, Brett Tuggle, played most of the intricate keyboard parts. Buckingham was his usual highly animated self, exchanging guitar riffs with long time Buckingham and FM side guitarist/singer - Neale Heywood.
Drums - Jimmy Paxson. Bass/singer - Federico Pol.

Setlist:
Trouble - Buckingham solo album
Wish You Were Here - FM
Never Going Back Again - FM
Shut Us Down - Buckingham solo album
Sleeping Around the Corner
Feel About You
In My World
Too Far Gone
Hold Me - FM
Little Lies - FM
Tusk - FM
Love Is Here to Stay
Red Sun
You Make Loving Fun -FM
I'm So Afraid
Go Your Own Way - FM
Everywhere - FM
Lay Down for Free
Game of Pretend

Local singer-writer, Kellee Bradley sang and strummed an acoustic for thirty minutes, starting at 7:15pm. Quite a dropoff from The Wallflowers who opened until the break for the FM show at Dodger Stadium on Sunday. It was part of Classic West with Journey and Earth Wind And Fire. Saturday was the Eagles with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan.

We were in row O section B. $99/ea plus fees. The plastic chairs with armrests are way more comfortable than the kiddie chairs at Marymoor. We drank Horse Heaven Savignon Blanc - $24 and Midsummer's White, a blend - $18. Free parking in the south lot. This was the most people I've ever seen at Ste Michelle, with people sitting in areas I've never seen used before.

Hello There!

Wow....it's really all I can say about the experience of opening for Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie and Chateau Ste-Michelle Winery last Wednesday night. Here are a few photos:

Truly a once in a lifetime experience opening for two of my musical heroes! And they were so nice (Lindsey gives great hugs) and was so generous...thanking me for opening for him....seriously...they didn't really have to pay me but it was nice that they did. Shhh...we won't let them know I would have done it for free!

If you are new to my mailing list that probably means you signed up at the show last Wednesday. Welcome! I won't send these missives out often enough to bother you (I hope) but to let you know when I have shows coming up!

In fact, I've got two great, free shows this weekend with my band. Check out the info below. I'll have some free passes to our Emerald Downs gig on August 11 with me this weekend and will be giving some away to be one of the first to ask me about them after the gigs each day and they're yours!

I hope to see you!

great to hear he also thinks it was sold out. (haven't heard officially that it was).

and interesting to hear that others also think the acoustic opening with mostly Lindsey playing is a little funky. And I agree it was weird they didn't sing on each other's songs during that bit....:eek:

I was watching the video in that instagram post to see if you could see me in the crowd in front of Christine, but they never got a shot of the people at the front of the stage. Whew!:lol:

Wednesday night's Buck-McVie was such a wonderful experience! I'm more of a lurker, a reader, with my first post on Wednesday.

I was worried about the weather, so I waited until the night before to buy a ticket! I snagged an excellent reserved seat, for $65 including all fees, next to another confirmed FM aficionado who was lovingly clutching signed CD and LP. I got a keychain.

The $10 parking was a fantastic deal. I usually would go for the free parking, but it's almost like there's a "point of no return" when you drive up the Chateau's driveway, and all that was ahead of me was $10 parking, so I relaxed and did it. I was incredibly close to an entrance point: short walk, quick rifling of my bag, a metal-detector, and swoosh I was in. The concession booth was not very busy (I often am deterred by lines), so I checked it all out. Very mellow for such a big-league concert.

Fantastically for me and my FM-addict seatmate, the seat in front of us was vacant!

My seatmate went down to the front as soon as she saw that security was allowing it. I liked what I had in my reserved seat and stayed.

The crowd was appreciative, welcoming. I saw two ladies, when "Hold Me" started up, they looked at each other, clasped hands, and began singing the lines to each other, like little fan girls, but they were easily in the 40s-50s. So cute!

I enjoyed the entire experience, Chateau St. Michelle is just about the best venue I've ever been at, glad Lindsey/Christine played there.

I noticed that nobody on stage said "Seattle" or any locational name: I read on this board that there was a screwup related to Boston, so maybe they are a bit shy about that right now, especially since Woodinville is a half-hour from Seattle.

I didn't have any wine, but a lot of people were indulging.

It was a fabulous night: I'm so glad Lindsey keeps performing with the little machine, and he seems very engaged & in great shape so he may do this into his 70s. Yay for us!

Setlist:


[/B]


Trouble - Buckingham solo album
Wish You Were Here - FM
Never Going Back Again - FM
Shut Us Down - Buckingham solo album
Sleeping Around the Corner

This bit here is too heavily weighted to Lindsey. And he dominates on SATC, so really that's 4 of the first 5 songs are him. The more I ponder this post-show the more it sorta bugs me. SUD has to go. Why is it even in there???? She probably can't do Never Make Me Cry anymore; Never Forget certainly has the right vibe but is still a bit higher in pitch than she seems comfortably able to reach these days. Something off In The Meantime would have been a very cool surprise, but she doesn't seem to give that album the love it deserves.

where were your seats?

We were towards the back of the reserved seating section.

Hi,
I really enjoyed your account and your video clips!

I was in Row P, Seat 17. We were on a little ledge, so had a 6-inch height advantage over row O.

It was either the best seat I've had, or else it matched the time I saw Lindsey at the Moore Theater in Seattle.

I completely agree with this. I don't object to them playing "Trouble," since it was a hit, but why play such an obscure song as "Shut Us Down"? It also isn't fair to have three Lindsey songs and only one of Christine's in the acoustic set. She basically just stood at her keyboard looking gorgeous during his three songs. I don't think she even played the organ; if she was playing, I couldn't hear it.

"Shut Us Down" should be replaced by either a Christine solo hit, probably "Got a Hold on Me," or a Christine pre-Rumours era FM song, such as "Spare Me a Little." Or even something from 'In the Meantime' -- is "Friend" or "You Are" any more obscure than "Shut Us Down"?

I personally liked having the acoustic set at the start of the show, but it would have worked equally well to have it in the middle of the show.

welcome to my world girls!! i've been screming about this since the first show when i saw this eetlist, and definitely since i first experienced it live. it's completely ridiculous and i have to wonder whether they had something different there and retumbled it all up at the last minute before the tour started?

my 0.02 - they should have just 2 acoustic songs as an opener, one of hers one of his. i agree that she really just stands and mouths his songs there looking faboulous during his 3 acoustic songs, and it's a complete waste of -space in the setlist. they should do just-2-of-them acoustic to start, it's very effective (vs in the middle like Mac does, that would bring their highly energetic show to a screeching halt). but after 2 acoustic openers with just 2 of them on stage (WYWH and one of 3 his - NGBA?) they should just plunge in the main rocking set. skip Trouble and SUD. or do SUD instead of NGBA if you want guitar/voice showcase. and then add 2 LB deep cut songs to the main set - What Makes You Think from Tusk, never played other than on the Tusk tour, would be amazing and fit the highly energetic set!

I think Christine was very much involved in every decision of the final setlist. Lindsey loves playing her songs and I'm sure he suggested a couple of hers. I think Christine is for now comfortable with letting Lindsey lead the show. Maybe that will change with time but let's hope that not to the point of acting like Stevie. :nod:

Good points all, especially about placing the acoustic set in the middle of the set. Just seems like an odd way to begin the show. However, I suspect there are specific reasons behind the scenes that Chris and Lindsey arranged the set the way they did.

For example, I bet Lindsey starts the show with 3 out of 4 songs because Christine wanted it that way so she could 'warm up' first, so to speak. Even more so when they first started. Also, it makes sense the rest of the band wouldn't want to take a 4 song break in the middle of the set, so that's why Chris and Lindsey do the acoustic part at the beginning. Plus probably other reasons we fans can't even imagine.

I also understand why Chris isn't doing any songs from In the Meantime, but I'm shocked she left out Got a Hold on Me. Playing that instead of Everywhere would have been a more interesting choice and such a treat for the fans.

I thought it was great fun. It starts slow; as I noted earlier the acoustic opening really starts the show on a slow note... and a lot of people don't know Shut Us Down or Wish You Were Here to be totally blunt. Trouble is recognizable and then of course Never Going Back Again. That's 3 LB songs and 1 Christine and I don't think that's quite fair..... Love Will Show Us How was her single off her first solo album and did well, and Lindsey was on Who's Dreaming This Dream which if they wanted a slower tempo Chris solo song (LWSUH is rather upbeat and bouncy) that would work in that opening section too.......

Once they get through those first 4 songs the show has a nice momentum and rocks!

So I would highly recommend it as a nice way to see the two of them doing stuff you won't see at a FM show. I was lucky the audience in Seattle had really good energy (maybe all the wine!) and I could see where an audience that stays seated and quiet could really kill the buzz.

I haven't gone to a band tour since Chris left and didn't see them yet since she's come back. I'm not such a fan of large arena shows (crowds) as I used to be so for me seeing BuckVie in a smaller venue was perfect. And it was outside which was even better. I like the venues Lindsey plays solo as well. I've seen shows at 3 of his solo tours in the last ten years; I've seen multiple Stevie shows but honestly not since the 90s. Getting older I guess; when I was in my 20s and 30s I was at concerts almost every month.

The band is excellent (BuckVie band) and if you've seen Lindsey solo he's got that same type of energy here (at least in Seattle.... elle indicates maybe he was far more serious earlier in the tour. maybe he and Chris got into the wine at the winery before the show too!!) Plenty of rocking energy after those first few songs. ....

What do other people who've gone to shows think??


Ok, you sold me!!! :laugh: I've never seen Chris or Lindsey solo or as a duet, so this will definitely be a new experience for me. I like the cheaper tickets factor as well as opposed to a full on FM concert.

Glad you had a great time at the concert!

Which show do you think you'll try and see?

Let us know how it goes!

[michelej1]

Me, too. I'm short and thick like Stevie.

Remember that Christine was a chubby adolescent. At least she thought of herself that way. Michele
