Have a follow-up question, for you - or anybody else - who has seen him both solo and with FM: comparing videos from recent FM tours vs solo tours, seems that LB is much more animated performer when with FM. Is that really the case or it just happened at specific concerts b/c they were recording (Soundstage, Bass)?
I think it is safe to say he puts on a little bit more of a "show" with FM. Not to say he's not animated or energetic solo, but I found him a bit "bigger", which probably is partially because he's playing to a much larger crowd (I saw FM at Madison Square Garden) and also because he probably is trying to give a little something to match Stevie's show. Things like "Oh Well" and "Never Going Back Again" are practically choreographed at this point. But, when he's solo, I think he's just a little more genuine in his energy, he knows the people are there because they want to see him, and he still gets a dramatic with things like the "Come" solo or "Shut Us Down", he still has those fits of awesome after songs, but it feels more real and not like he's doing it because people are expecting a show.
