I've had guitar solos played right over my head before, but I don't think I can describe last night's solo-over-head experience without sounding, well, in Lindsey's words, "rude."  Suffice it to say, I will be blushing if there's footage of this on YouTube.
In any case, his intensity (and his dedication) can't be beat. I'm not much of a fan of "Time Precious Time," but last night's "remembers" had me, for a moment, hooked. And "Treason" is beautiful live.
Please, Lindsey, just a couple more months of the "little machine" before you go back to the "big machine"? |
An up close and personal view of The Crotch. I don't mind being rude!
(And sharing in the experience. Although, really, we were trying--very hard--to look up at his face instead. That had to count for something, right?
But, that was...one for the books!)
It was an awesome concert. I've shared this with my buddies at the concert, but I was so into Time, Precious Time (which I love anyway. I must be the only one!) and how choked up he got, that by the end of that song, and the end of the concert--after seeing him four times this tour, I was shaking like a leaf. I've never had that happen at his concerts before.
Very emotional. And very wonderful. I'm so proud of him for keeping his promises about his recordings, for sharing so much new stuff with us and for being his wacky (and verbose) self. I am a HUGE FM fan, but even I would give up the idea of an FM tour if I could continue to see him do his solo stuff on a regular basis.
