I caught Lindsey's act twice last year, once in Salt Lake City, at The Depoe, and then in Portland OR at The Aladdin. The audience at The Depoe was comprised of younger and older, but The Aladdin seemed to have the older folk who were a bit more laid back. I stood for two hours at The Depoe, because LB had asked that all the center folding chairs be removed so people could gather in front of the stage. It ws great and he put on a real good show.

At The Aladdin, which was sold out for two months in advance, the security people didn't prevent me from moving down to the front of the stage, along with others. But LB seemed tired, it was close to the end of his tour, I think. But it was great to be so close and at the end he walked across the stage and reached out to shake the hands of those who had gathered in front, myself included.

I'm going up to Portland to see him in September, at the Newmark. Is anyone else going to be there? I've heard the Newmark is patterned after an Elizabethan theatre. Also it is the second stop on the tour so he should be energized!
