I was there last night, too. Had to admit, quite a lot of the audience were seated most of the time, though I didn't sit down once. I was on the floor, so saw a good portion of both sides, and was a little disappointed that more weren't standing. I do feel bad for the people behind me, but no way in hell was I just gonna sit there.
I thought they were awesome. I was kinda hoping they'd pull out Silver Springs, but since I saw them do it in 2003, I made my peace with not seeing it this year.
Loved Lindsey. The man is a complete dynamo. I think his energy, enthusiasm and performance shocked my boyfriend a little. He knew he could play, but not to that extent. He completely rocked I'm So Afraid and Oh, Well.
Stevie seemed very relaxed. She introduced the band at the beginning by putting her hand over the mike and saying, 'Let's get this party started' in a deep voice. I loved that! Storms was beautiful, and she really got into Stand Back. I loved that she dedicated Landslide to us since she didn't know anyone in Sheffield.
Mick was a complete loon. He said stuff throughout World Turning, but I couldn't hear him clear enough. I'm pretty sure he was teasing John, though. His enthusiasm and eagerness are still aplenty. He's still very much the daddy of the band. And he was very sweet when he told us to look out for each other at the end.
John will always be John. As he said on the BBC doc, 'I'm a legend in my own mind.' He's right. Didn't say a word, but still drew some of the loudest cheers, I thought. Gotta love him.
All in all it was a fab night. I'm so glad I went and they were definitely worth it.
