I was going to say the same thing. I think Lindsey would have or might still dig something just like that.
For Lindsey, it seems it's all in the challenge and the process of getting there. The Cradle tour was a great thing because he got to orchestrate all of his songs just the way he wanted to for the first time ever. It was a challenge to find the right personalities and work out all of the intricate parts one-by-one, and it worked beautifully.
The songs he did alone without the full backup were incredibly well done as well. That was the other part of the challenge and I think he enjoyed that immensely. It was that stripped down part of his performing talents that he carried back over to the Mac when he returned to the Dance (Big Love, Go Insane, and even Landslide because he handled the keyboard line as well that Christine used to play on previous tours). In all of the clippings where he discussed his work on GOS, he talked about stripping away adornments and letting just the guitar or just a very few instruments do the work of a whole track. Taking that into account leads me to believe that a stripped down approach and some radical rearrangements could be right up his alley.
