Today
 

Lindsey sounded pretty bad singing Go Your Own Way.

This was actually my first time hearing peacekeeper, and i must say i like it. (except for that "this is not a drill").

Stevie still sounds great

They were great :) Hell,for being their age,getting up this early,in that cold..yea...they rock :)

GYOW was preeeeeeetty bad........

I am hoping it was the cold!

PK was really good as was Rhiannon, but I wanted to hear Destiny Rules and Say You Will...

I think SAY is coming up soon, but I have to leave for work! Doggone it!

My cable was out (of course) so I couldn't see it. How big was the crowd?

they started kinda off key, but warmed up fast. the crowd was pretty good size. lots of poeple with Stevie pics and FM banners.
lucky dogs.

Stevie's pretty bundled up, isn't she? LOL
I did see Mindy & Sharon, but Sharon's still so thin that Lindsey's head kept blocking almost every camera shot of her!
John was his usual uncomfortable-in-front-of-the-mike self when Matt cornered him with a question.
I think the cold affected their voices. Stevie sounded great on Rhiannon except for that last word, "HER," when her voiced cracked a bit. I'm sure it's the cold - she's hit that note a thousand times before.
I hope it was Today show time constraints that made them eliminate the guitar solos on Peacekeeper & Rhiannon. I hope the guitar parts aren't omitted during the tour.

Waiting now for the 4th song...

Yeah it was pretty offkey but look at that wind... geez... I can imagine the cold would mess up the tuning of the guitars. and they looked bored in GYOW/Rhiannon (besides Mick but when does he ever) but I don't blame them playing the same songs 10 million times.

Stevie's huge scarf was cute, lol.

Yeah.. GYOW wasn't good. I'm sure it was the cold.

He even screwed up a little with the guitar intro.. cold weather does *INTERESTING* things to instruments, for sure.

Is it just me.. or did he say:

"If I could, maybe I'd give you my world
Open I if you won't take it from me.."

I swear he did. I SWEAR it. Like he was going to the -open up everything's waiting for you- and then thought, "DOH! Wrong part!"

Say You Will, Peacekeeper, and Rhiannon sounded pretty damn good though.

That's what I heard, too. Wouldn't be the first time they did the old accidental verse switcheroo on a song. lol

there's no way you'd be referring to the fact that it is *impossible* to sing along with Rhiannon when it's done live.. would you???

"once in a blackcat a moon like stars rises from the sky.. oh no he you cry cries but shes gone a moon from stars in the night..."

lol...

They did Say You Will at the end of the show. It was about an hour after they finished Rhiannon. It sounded great.I was so glad they did a second song off of the new album.I got it on tape. They also showed the 4 of them signing some autograghs after Rhiannon and S&L getting a picture taken together with a fan.I am so ready to see them live this summer!!!

Yeah, I enjoyed SYW, love the live ending.
I know Today is targeting the mainstream & not necessarily Ledgie fanatics, but I hope the backstage glimpses part of the program is not an indication of the tour. The featured songs they practiced were Landslide, GYOW, Tusk, The Chain (did I also hear acoustic Big love?).....recognizable, for sure, but not the most exciting set list for those of us who have seen them before. I hope the rumors of Beautiful Child and Storms are true.

Hey, I wish I would have thought to tell Livia to ask LB which Christine songs they'd be doing on this tour --- now THOSE would have been a real backstage peek for the Today Show to broadcast!

1st half of Go Your Own Way was not good. Think of an athlete having to perform without much warm up in 30 degree weather. Voice was off and hands were cold making those fine motor skills a little less fine. From half way through Go Your Way to the end they sounded good.

Lindsey and Mick stunk it up, but Stevie and John held their own.
:shrug:

Well it started a little bit shaky with GYOW. Lindsey definitely sang off key and overall I thought it was pretty wretched. He sounded much better on "Peacekeeper". I don't know, I think maybe he calmed down some or "warmed up" once he got the first one done.

Stevie looked great(like a million bucks) :) and sounded even better. From "Rhiannon" to "Say You Will" the woman is still cranking out stellar songs and performing them well too.
