Lindsey rocking in Vancouver
Penguinhead and LindseyRocks, I saw that same show in Vancouver, Canada. I've written about it before on the Ledge, so other Ledgies may be tired of my saying so, but . . .
Like the Portland and Seattle shows, the audience was absolutely shellshocked when he opened with Big Love and Go Insane. It was just jaw-dropping. This woman sitting next to me looked at me with these huge eyes and said "this guy's a god." I say this with a straight face; those were her exact words.
Vancouver's mainstream and alternative papers were uncharacteristically effusive in their reviews. The Vancouver Sun opened with "I don't know what the rest of Vancouver was doing last night, but those who attended Lindsey Buckingham's performance at the Commodore were treated to the best show at that venue in many years."
Yeah, the FM songs he played were incredibly rich and passionate. To this day it's the best concert I've ever seen, and probably the best I will ever see--when would I ever again get to see him in a nightclub audience of 500 people or so, sitting in the front row?
Thanks for jogging a good memory.
