I will be there! And I would love to have dinner with anyone else from here who will be going to this show. It would be neat to have a Ledge get together.

happy you are coming!

just read your post about BuckVie and yeah Chris and Linds had a great animated routine then.

would you google around and see whether there are some places a walk from the venue where people can come pre-show for drinks and apps if we make it there in time?

I can do that!

I’m trying to find tickets!

My four year old is currently obsessed with Lindsey’s Anthology. Would be fun to take him.

Please let me know if anyone comes across first few row tickets or better yet, VIPs for sale!

Aagh, I'm so frustrated... I bought a ticket for Lindsey's show months ago, and it was way in the back, like row X I think, yet somehow when I checked ticketmaster today, they have much better tickets now. I don't understand it at all! Does anyone know if ticketmaster does upgrades? I don't want 2 tickets but I want to be closer. Any suggestions?

probably best to call TM and ask for an upgrade.

if that doesn't work you can always buy a better ticket and put your other one on stubhub or similar in hope to recoup at least a part of the money.

Thanks elle. I actually bought the ticket from the theater, but when I called them, they said they weren't selling tickets and to call ticketmaster. Very weird. I mean, the envelope with the ticket has the Canton Palace Theatre address in the postmark LOL. I guess I'll just have to suck it up but it's so frustrating that I got a ticket so far back when there are so many a lot closer still available.

another option is to get to the box office early and ask whether they have any upgrades or last minute tickets. but the way it's been going on TM it looks like all the tickets will be gone by monday.

Another great idea- thanks, elle.

I will be there. Not to rub it in bwboy but I was one of the people that waited and just pulled up 2nd row!

:cool: That's awesome! I can't be mad about that. Well, maybe a little jealous!

I was finally able to come up with a place that might be nice for folks to meet ahead of the concert, if people would like. It was kind of tricky looking on the internet because a number of places I checked out have actually either shut down or are closed on Mondays. Conestoga Grill is located at 217 2nd St, about 3 blocks away from the theater. I called and confirmed they are open Monday night. Looks like a pub/tavern environment, with appetizers and drinks as well as entrees.

Another place I found is Basil, which is right across the theater at 585 Market Ave, but it's an Asian restaurant and definitely more of a sit down place, and looks much more formal and pricier.

either one works. i think Basil has a bar too. thanks for looking them up! :thumbsup:

Yes Ticketmaster will upgrade you. Same thing happened to me for Buck/McVie. I upgraded to seats 10 rows closer that were the same price. I called them and got the electronic upgrade that they emailed me. Should not be a problem.
Show is amazing. Get as close as you can.

Thanks Macfan, but unfortunately I bought my ticket from the venue itself, so I can't upgrade through Ticketmaster for that reason :distress:

Did you call the theater and ask to switch? It hurts no one. Some of these seats will not be sold so I see no reason to let someone who purchased a ticket switch.
But I know.....rules are rules. Good grief did anyone ever think there would be a positive thing about Ticketmaster :eek:

Thank you! BLISS.

Watching this, I remembered again how pertinent many of the lyrics of Down On Rodeo are to the current situation re he and Stevie. At the show I attended, my mind had been 99% on Lindsey, not Stevie/FM, so it hadn't crossed my mind at all.

I also love the slightly "off" note at 0:39 of Part 1 (not musically off per se, but certainly different to the recording and probably not intentional)--it's definitely him playing it.

I managed to get a fairly nice recording of the opening bars of this song at Birmingham (will try to make it available eventually, even though it's just a snippet), but didn't record the whole thing because I wanted to just be there in the moment. I'm rather regretting that now, but thankfully videos like this are available.

Of course Rodeo isn't written about Stevie though.

hope some managed to meet up?!

we were late to Basil's, came a bit bofre 7 for dinner. too cramped for time. there were so many people at the show who i knew just through social media and had no idea how they look, ended up meeting with some but sorry to have missed so many others!

Where is your review
We are waiting ;)

LOL it's here at last!

First off, I have to thank Hawkeye... he was unable to make it to the show due to inclement weather, so he graciously left his 2nd row ticket for me at the box office. What a nice thing to do! Although I was disappointed he couldn't make it, as I was looking forward to meeting him, it was so classy of him to let me use his ticket. Thank you so much, Hawkeye!

Second, I'm sorry I didn't get to meet elle or any other Ledgies who may have been there. Not having internet access the entire time, I was unable to get on the Ledge. I should have given my phone number in a PM, but I didn't think far enough in advance to do that.

The concert was incredible. I had such a great time. I was so close, I could have gone up and strummed Lindsey's guitar during Go Your Own Way, but I didn't :confused: Not sure why, I guess I was a little intimidated.

The band was stellar, especially the bassist. I forgot his name, I think it was Francisco Pol or something like that. He and the whole band provided fantastic support to Lindsey, with some great background vocals, too. Better than what I expected, really. But that bassist was really awesome.

I loved the simple stage- great lights with a fog machine; what can I say, I've always been a sucker for a fog machine! It really created a great mood, or as Lindsey might say, a great vibe!

Lindsey rocked the house. A lot of musical highlights, but my favorites were mostly songs I didn't think I would like so much live. I wasn't a big fan of Go Insane, but live, it sounded great! Slow Dancing I found creepy when it first came out, for some reason- maybe it was the video, I don't know. But live, it sounded perfect and not creepy at all! Another surprise was I Must Go- again, this song was so much better live. Don't Look Down, Surrender the Rain, Holiday Road, and Down on Rodeo were also highlights for me. As far as his performance, I was a little surprised at how stationary he was. When I had seen him with Fleetwood Mac, he roamed the stage, but on his own, he stayed planted for a majority of the show. My guess is, since he's singing lead on every song, he has to stay by the Mike, or maybe it's because the stage is smaller, or maybe he's just getting older. Whatever the reason, it wasn't a problem, just something that surprised me. I loved it when he came closer to the audience and encouraged folks to come up front. Very nice.

Lindsey was very gracious and seemed really pleased by the crowd. He even seemed surprised by our love and affection, almost overwhelmed. The crowd was great. I have to say, in a theater that size, I can understand both sides of the "standing vs sitting" controversy. I was in the second row, with a perfect view, but there were two people who stood up in the row ahead of me, and wouldn't you know it- the girl standing completely blocked my view of Lindsey. I mean, completely! And the guy 2 seats down from her who also stood was blocking the people behind him. Between songs, some people said something very loudly and the guy sat down. A difficult situation. Fortunately, the girl who blocked my view did so for just 2 songs- the other times, I was either standing along with most of the crowd, or she sat down.

The fans I spoke to were all really nice and friendly. The guy next to me was exceptionally nice, he was very enthusiastic and fun to talk to. It was nice to be able to geek out with other like-minded people! He was an experienced concert goer but had never seen Lindsey live before. In fact, everyone I spoke to said this was their first time seeing Lindsey, and judging from their reactions during the concert, it won't be their last time.

If you're on the fence about seeing Lindsey, here's my advice- GO SEE HIM! You will love it!

Thanks for the review.

That's interesting, and great!
I suppose they meant Lindsey solo as opposed to in Fleetwood Mac?
It would be very cool if people went who had never seen him before full stop!

Agreed about Frederico!
(But not agreed about your new name for him--LOL)

wow, so glad you had such a great experience - and how awesome from Hawkeye to leave you his 2nd row ticket!

i'm so relieved you didn't end up looking for us, because i felt so bad about missing you - you originally stipulated going in the first place by having some people you know there. so i'm taking all the creditr for you going and i'm loving this so much!! :blob1::wavey:

re Lindsey being much more at his mic at solo shows - yeah, as you said since he sings the lead on every song, and cannot carery mic around since he needs his hands for playing, he's kinda stuck in place while he sings, and moves just in between. on OMS tour he was even more stationary, at least at first, since he was the only person on stage and had to do everything himself (other than Stan of course!). on the other hand, from videos i've seen of OOTC tour, he was completely all over the place and young, high and crazy then, so i'm sure however in shape he is being sober and older has to play some role too.

that stage was weird yesterday. apparently where that lower stage was originally a pit but then for this event got filled as a lower stage. normally at LB solo shows he's as close to the audience as the end of that lower pit was, so he interacts way more than he did yesterday, because he's closer and can see everyone. when he's this deep into the stage the lights are in his eyes too much to be able to catch people's eyes.

too bad you didn't go strum! it is something - always such incerdible experience. and that was another weird thing yesterday, with that lower stage, and then apparently LB's people gave the instructions to the seccurity that he will come down to that lower stage / covered pit for people to strum during GYOW but the message venue security somehow received was that he will go into the crowd during the encores. so they brought extra security and blocked the access to the stage during GYOW which was the weirest thing i've ever seen at LB show! :shrug: and he had to make extra efforts to get people to actually approach the stage and strum - as you describe above. normally he covers the stage on all sides for people to be able to strum, but yesterday he couldn't... either way, he / his people can never get that messaging straight it seems! :laugh:

Federico.

yes. the guy who was telling us about Lindsey's concurrent tour plans, together with Rick Turner, back when many here were claiming how that's all made up and insisting on sources even though that was all on public facebook pages.

Yes--it might also just be that he's more "centered" now, in every respect. :laugh:
And definitely focusing more now on perfectly modulated vocal execution, as opposed to the more screechy, livewire vocals of OOTC.

All about that bass
 

Doh. Thanks.

there's a video of guitar strum from yesterday when you click / swipe through these pics all the way to the last one (4th).

terrible camera work by me, but lindsey was amazing last night!! THE LAST VIDEO IS OF ME STRUMMING HIS GUITAR!! don’t pay attention to the shaking of the camera #fleetwoodmac #lindseybuckingham

A post shared by fleetwood mac (@fleeetwoodstevie) on Nov 27, 2018 at 12:21pm PST

LOL thanks for the correction... well,you were a lot closer to his actual name than I was, anyway! Federico looked cool in his shades. I noticed a couple of times he licked his finger while playing... I wonder if it was a habit or if maybe it hurts to finger pick the guitar?

Yeah, I definitely noticed that too and wasn't sure which it was--showmanship or practicalities.

In the snippet of Down On Rodeo that I just posted in the Birmingham thread, Lindsey can be seeing shaking out his right hand before playing.

You can take all the credit LOL! I was really on the fence about seeing Lindsey, mostly because it was in Canton and I was concerned about the weather in November- I absolutely hate driving in snow, even if it's just flurries. And with the rain and possible freezing temperatures, well that's even worse. Plus it was just a few weeks after I was going to see FM, and it was on a Monday, AND it was right after Thanksgiving, so logistically, I had some valid reasons to not go. But I had missed the Buck/Vie tour last year, thinking I would catch them another time, and we all know how that worked out, and with Lindsey (and myself) getting older, the sad reality is, each tour could very well be the last at this stage, so I had to go. I would definitely see Lindsey again, hands down.

As for the strumming, Lindsey was clearly motioning for us to come up, but like you said, it was obvious security had not been informed. Still, they did let people move up, so that was cool.

Glad everyone had such a great time. Speaking of strumming the guitar, Lindsey makes sure almost everyone in the front row gets a chance. During FM concerts its usually just one or two people in the front row for GYOW. Lindsey makes a full walk across the stage to give as many people possible to strum.

I had the VIP package and got the CD. After the concert, I appreciated his solo work more. I know that sounds strange but I still have the CD in the car and play it all the time. I re-discovered and discovered more of his solo work which is all great.

Stupid question and not sure where to post it. I got my email today about the M&G. I am seeing him next week in NYC. The email says each package purchased is entitled to 1 entry. I purchased 2 tickets---I assume each one of us is granted M&G access. I paid the M&G price for both.

Thank you and I promise I will come back with a copious review.

yeah. you bought 2 m&gs, you'll get 2 m&gs. and all the extra stuff they give you with it.

Thank you Elle!

Overall, I enjoyed the show. My favorite song of the night was “I Must Go,” but, really, it was great hearing so many of the lesser played songs that have been favorites for decades. I also really liked the full-band versions of “Go Insane” and “Trouble.”

I think his banter was much better and a lot less forced than in tours past. He seemed to almost have a bit of humor about what happened with the band without directly addressing it. I will say that I was a little surprised “Wrong” isn’t in the set.

The biggest negative for me was the modulated vocals. Granted, the majority of it was used on the backing vocals, it was especially painful/embarrassing when Lindsey used it on “Surrender The Rain.”

Yes to all this. I thought the background vocals by the band on I Must Go is what made that song so good live. Lindsey was incredible, but so is his band. And I'm just as surprised by Wrong not being on the set list. I'm also just as surprised it's not on his Anthology, even the 3 disc version. Wasn't it a single?

Glad you had a good time.
