Commenting on the live sound on the Tusk tour, it was epic and really in your face, which is a good thing. What I find most notable about the Tusk tour is how they would just jam on a lot of the songs, World Turning, Chain, Go Your Own Way, and it would never sound the same twice. There was so much improv, also with the way Stevie sang her songs. She never sang them the same way twice, and she improved lyrics and melodies on the drop of a dime. Also Lindsey varied his guitar licks/solos so much from the album version to a point where the song wouldn't be very recognizable. That's a good thing and shows what a great player he is to just come up with those things right on the spot. That's very much a contrast from the present where they sort of seem to be in auto-pilot mode. You can't tell one performance from another as it's so rehearsed now, and nothing is varied anymore concerning vocals and guitar parts.

yes to all of this!
i mean, yes if you never saw / heard ISA live, you will be properly impressed. but if you have, you will be bored by everything being at the exact same place and time, from the guitar licks down to Lindsey's "rocker jumps" done the exact same way at the exact same place on the stage etc etc. it's like a theater play, as Lindsey has been saying lately. no changes, no improvisation, no jazzing up the music.
