Except of course when Lindsey get's his chance to rock on songs like "Come".
BTW, I thought Lindsey's solo tour rocked.
I'd still pay $$$ to see the Mac.

Point taken...it helps to be 30 years younger though...
I love LBT btw, but I just think the Mac gets dissed too much in regards to the "cruise control" thing. I am looking forward to seeing them for the first time. I saw both Stevie and Lindsey this past year and Lindsey did not (in my front frow opinion) exhibit that much more energy than Stevie. In fact, I was really surprised at observing his calm "zone" during one of his most rocking solos. I can see why people really love him - as I do - but because he's a player and adds a few jumps - which are really long stretches where he stands up straight and bounces back down - and flailing his arms over his guitar a bit (animated antics) - it appears he is rocking out more than the other members of the Mac. I think what causes this complaint is the Mac's set list - which I won't get into in this forum. The reason people don't mind LB or LBT doing the same songs is because it is a bit of a different interpretation which breathes new life into the status quo. To me it shows how good the music actually is because the audience still loves it. Also, I think the fact that LBT are huge Mac fans really came through that show. It certainly wasn't like throwing Taylor Swift and Def Leopard together....
