As far as what he plays when singing, I really didn't notice any difference from previous tours. For instance, when you watch the Mirage video, his playing is pretty minimalistic when he is singing. This is quite common actually, because playing leads and riffs while singing is incredibly difficult, and seriously, I marvel at people like Lindsey who can actually pull it off.

Assisted Listening Device (ALD)-is a low level Mono F.M. signal that arena's broadcast rom an inhouse transmitter to a receiver that an audience member (With a hearing disability/hearing loss) can wear to hear an amplified raw feed coming from the PA output/BAND's monitors that is minus the crowd noise. Most all of the newer arena's carry this system (ie-Oklahoma CIty's "The Ford Center") and rent the receiver to those fans that are in need of it.
In Ear Monitor (IEM)-is the newest type of monitor that a band member uses compare to the ol' "on stage monitors". It makes it easier to hear one-selves in the output/PA mix with an IEM.
