I can't wait to here what they tweaked for tonight's show, in response to what worked and didn't work for them on Monday. I'll look for everyone's reviews.
Yes, Lindsey's energy is phenomenal. It's not because he's playing a guitar, because many people do and they aren't as kinetic. He's moving continuously and very rapidly. It doesn't stop. Even if it's not a lateral move. Then, it's up and down. I haven't seen the Rolling Stones live, but from the video, I get the feeling that Jagger is somewhat like that.
The constant motion is contagious and feeds the audience's enthusiasm. Lindsey seems to be enjoying himself, but even if he's not, there's a frenzy present that would never allow you to think he was disengaged. He also spends a lot of time making eye contact with the people in the audience below him. And although all he is doing is making faces, raising a brow or laughing, it feels like he is doing it in response to something and gives the illusion that he is having a conversation with the fans. With all that going on, sometimes the guitar is quite secondary. "Oh yeah, I'm playing that too!"
