Default Say you will (lend me more gambling money!)

Fantastic show! My third SYW tour show, and the first where I was close on the floor (of course EVERYONE was on the floor at this particular one!).

Everyone seemed really on target - except for the equipment! Yeah, Lindseys' guitars were off a lot, unfortunately. Say Goodbye was particularly off because of this, and you could tell he was getting ticked. During Landslide, he was downright peeved - Stevie was really happy with the crowd sing along (which was awesome) but Lindsey was just trying not to shake his head in disgust of the guitar sound. Still, though, very nice job by both. Also, Mick's mic was off during his drum solo, which was pretty hilarious, because he didn't really seem to mind. We got a lot of 'I wanna know... ARE Y-- ----- MAAAAYYY....' and 'Are y-- --- for so--- --- PANKAAAAYY....'. Funny stuff.

"Red Rover" - shocked they pulled that song off so well live. I avoided hearing bootlegs until I saw it live.
"I Know I'm not Wrong" - AWESOME. Didn't expect the jam at the end. So much fun.
"Stand Back" - JUST as the crowd's sitting down in boredom of the drum intro, it kicks in and BOOM they're back up on their feet 5 seconds later. Love it.
"Go Your Own Way" - entire field singing along to that great harmony. Chills


One thing I noticed about this that I never did before - I'm not sure if it's because of the way the stage was set up or not. But during "Come" they had the back-up drummer's silhoutte up on the right wall, so you could watch him rock the HELL out of the song. (- did they always do that? reminded me of Blue Man Group!) Totally awesome performance there.

The crowd got on my nerves at certain parts - this one jackass shouted out "Is it OVER yet?" during Say Goodbye and Lindsey/Stevie had to have heard it. Also, everyone kept sitting down when Lindsey's songs started up. Then Stevie comes out and does a twirl and suddenly it's a standing ovation. Drove me crazy :-) Haha, but that's okay, that's how it goes.

Anyhoo, awesome show. My mom totally cleaned up at the Hilton, walked away with $1800 when she started with $60. I, however, learned that the new Garfield slot machines SUCK and lost half a week's pay. But still - worth the trip :-D
