Back then there was just the hard contacts, and I bet Lindsey DID take those suckers out for concerts, because those kind fly out so easy it's not even funny! Not to mention the fact that those lights no doubt dry a man's eyes out, which dries out the contacts, and then you blink to moisten 'em up, and then - poof. Goodbye!
Nowadays contacts have progressed to the point where he probably can wear them onstage with no problem. Who knows, maybe he even got that radiokeritonomy (OK, it's not spelled right, so sue me!) to cure his eyesight permanently.
I bet contacts cost a bundle back then, too. I can see Lindsey in high school: "Mom, Dad, I hate these glasses, they make me look like a nerd! I have to have contacts or my social life is over!" - this is what I told my parents at the age of 13, at least. lol
But one thing does make me curious: I had to take out my contacts to swim, and I would literally run into walls if I was swimming too fast, because I was so near-sighted I couldn't gauge distance correctly. Now, granted Lindsey's eyesight was no doubt a heck of a lot better than mine, but if he needed contacts, how in the world did he see well enough to play water polo?!
