And like you I haven’t been to a ton of concerts either (though I’ve doubled on a couple other singers I like) but I’ve been to 3 Mac shows and a Buckingham McVie. I have missed other shows I wish I had been to (still mad I didn’t go see the Say You Will tour). Heck, I even feel similar to you on your comments about the setlist and such that I deleted from the quote. Wish you were in Chicago. We could meet up and geek out and apparently are some of the few kind of straddling the line here and not vehemently hating on any one side. (Though no judgement to those who do have such strong feelings. My love for Lindsey grew so much after finally getting to see a live show. I was always more of a Stevie person. Though I don’t think I’d want to be friends with any member of the band except maybe John. I want to go chill on a boat with John and get away from all the drama lol).
Anyway, should be interesting to get to see both shows so close together. Maybe I’ll pick a side after.  |
Wow, thanks! I would have totally geeked out with you in Chicago. Not just because I love FM but because I love Chicago- it's my favorite city! Also like you, I don't love all of Lindsey's solo work. Well, it's hard to explain- what I do love of Lindsey's work (both solo and with FM, I REALLY love, but what I don't like, I REALLY dislike, if that makes sense. So with Christine and Stevie, some of their songs I may not care for, but only one or two songs I really hate. So that has always been a factor in why I'd been hesitant to see Lindsey solo before. I regretted not seeing Buck/Vie, so I am so thankful Elle encouraged me to buy my Lindsey ticket for his tour. I am beyond excited!
As for seeing FM, well, I would probably be crucified if I encouraged you to go to their show
all I would suggest is that at their age, and I hate to sound morbid, you probably won't get a chance to see them again. Even if they live another 15-20 years, they won't be touring. I regretted not seeing Buck/Vie and you regretted not seeing them for Say You Will, so there's a chance you'll regret not seeing them now, while you have the chance. Plus I'm being a little selfish- I would love to get your reaction to the show. It's one thing to read about their set list, but it's quite another to read about how the audience responded to their set list. I mean, are audience members cringing during Free Fallin' or are they in the moment? Are they fleeing to the bathroom during I Got You or Oh Well? Those are things I'm really curious about.
