Hi!

Just checking in to see who else is going to Philly's second show tonight? I went to the first one, but never wrote in about that (yet).

Wonder if I will see any familiar faces?

Can't wait!!!!! Will be my last local show......until perhaps the 2nd leg!

I will be there, & I am know that I'm not a familiar face I will be in the first level, on Christine's side but almost @ the top of that first level. I don't think it'll be that bad though, but I may not be able to see John or Mick except maybe on the big screen. I've been looking forward to this since April. Can't believe it's FINALLy here.

Have fun everyone!

Make sure to come back and give us all a detailed review

I'll be there, almost same seats as last time, Christine's side, first level. I'm bringing a friend this time so I'm really excited for him to see them. I don't think he's seen them since the tusk tour! This is my fourth show (so far) but I still get butterflies!!! Will be sure to report back with my findings.

Everyone else going have a great time!

Fantastic show! Band seems to be relaxed and settling into the touring groove. Stevie was 100% improved over the last Philly show. SOTM is getting better and better...she really nailed the ending...was totally into it! The Gypsy story is getting longer and longer...but tonight it was spot on and very touching, about realizing your dreams. Lindsey's speech before IKINW is a little different too.

The crowd was far more subdued than the last Philly show, yet seemed very appreciative of the music and the band...in a refined sort of way. Not many bathroom breaks, thankfully.

Will post more later.

I was 17 rows behind/beside Christine...so, some 60 feet or so from one of my favorite folks ever? Hahaha. Her voice was amazing. I said it before on here, but the fact that she did take so many years off the road has kept her voice so very strong.

If I recall, the only lyric flub was Stevie inserted part of the third verse into the first verse of Seven Wonders. She made it work, though. Also, I never noticed until having that close of a seat that she has a teleprompter. And Stevie expressed dynamics in her voice that night too, which made me very happy.

Did anyone else notice that on the bridge portion of Big Love, specifically the part where the audience always cheers, that Lindsey seemed to have missed some of the melody notes? Maybe that actually wasn't true, but I could swear there were little jumps I never heard on other performances. Maybe this happened elsewhere on the tour as well?

According to an adjacent concert-goer, Lindsey was a lot more alive in this performance.

You could tell that a lot of the crowd was not as aware of I Know I'm Not Wrong, hahaha.

I love how Stevie would join Christine on vocals for You Make Lovin' Fun among others.

Even though they opened with The Chain, it totally was worth it, and going to You Make Lovin' Fun was a very welcomed change.

Not gonna lie, I kind of felt a John- and Mick-like response to Songbird. Lovely.

I'm a 26-year-old African American male and got to see my favorite band for the second time, this time including my favorite member. It was a wonderful evening.

Glad you had a great Mac experience! I agree with you about the crowd not being familiar with IKINW. The lady next to me asked me mid song what the name of that song was!!

I can add to that as well. In D.C., the crowd was very puzzled by the song as well lol. Some even seemed to not be sure about SOTM as well.

I love how the floor crowd realizes the song Never Going Back Again is starting and they stand up to watch how Lindsey is playing that beautiful piece. (not sure why they ever sat down in the first place.)
And Christine's accordion is so adorable to me.
