Well, now that I've watched it *several* times,
here's what I thought:
My favorites were SGCYM, Red Rover, Murrow, and Down on Rodeo. This is actually the first time I've ever heard Down on Rodeo, and I absolutely love it! New song to play over and over and over....
I especially liked when he talked about the story behind Red Rover --"It's a pretty morbid thought, I know, but it's a tender song...nonetheless.." or something like that--and then he gives a really big grin...And then when he actually says the name of the song, "This one's called 'Red Rover'" I dunno, it just really seemed like he was extremely pleased with himself and the song...kind of giving off a boyish charm there. Really, that impression may be just mine...I
wasn't there when it was taped or anything. Anyway, the sound on that song was impressive. I loved the blend of the "guys only" voices. Very nice/smooth. As a matter of fact, that's what I really liked about the entire show...hmmm words to describe it...warm, rich, deep, etc. No girls (yeah, I know, except for 2 songs, which were very nice, too, don't flame me for God's sake!) I think I'm just really burned out on the female back-up singer overkill from the SYW tour.
I think Lindsey was a little more uptight at the beginning of the show, but he loosened up eventually. That's pretty typical of him, really. I actually think it's adorable that he's a little unsure of himself....
I like the whole "semi-unplugged" feel that the show has. Brett, Taku, and Neal complemented Lindsey's songs very well, and I was really impressed with how much they added to it. I realize that I've probably had my head in the sand, but I had no idea they could harmonize like that...again...female back-up singer overload.
And of course, I really like that it was just Lindsey and his music for a change. Again, don't flame me....I've seen Stevie solo
plenty of times...we just don't get to see Lindsey in this setting as much, so this was a wonderful treat!
My least favorite song was GYOW. I would've liked him to drop this one for something from OOTC!
Ok, so as far as the whole stage set-up goes...I'd
love to have a widescreen hanging in my den with that hawt picture of Lindsey on it and his name scrolling across the screen like those that were hanging at the back of the stage. Sweet.
Oh, and I did a little spaz dance when Stevie sang a couple of lines from "Frozen Love." That would've been cool if they'd done that one!
Um, oh yeah....and I didn't notice what she wore...didn't much give a s**t either.
