Not saying he was right or wrong, and I don't know the first thing about sound systems, but doesn't anybody find it ironic that a show to support a so-called "stripped down" album is so heavily-reliant on
effects? Just saying. And ambiance, IMO, is totally separate from special effects. IMO, the suggestion below would create much more "ambiance" than special effects dependant on a more robust sound system:

Imagine an entire show of Lindsey unplugged? It could have been fabulous. It would have taken a lot of flexibility and creativity, and grace, on Lindsey's part to be able to accept that things weren't as planned and move from there. The man's got a voice, and mad guitar skills...He could have pulled something out with much less equipment than the venue had to offer--even with nothing but himself and his acoustic guitar. Imagine
how special it would have been to witness something so spontaneous. A once in a lifetime experience.

I would kill to see Lindsey perform such a show!
Of course, I don't think anyone would accuse
either of the fronting musicians of FM of being very spontaneous these days.
I respect Lindsey for wanting to give a first-rate performance, but it really sucks for fans who had tickets, especially those who travelled a long distance to see him. I hope he makes good on rescheduling at a different venue, and does so quickly.
