Getting things signed from the stage

Moz · #1 10-13-2014, 02:32 AM

I haven't seen much discussion about this, but does anyone have experience with anyone from the band signing something during the concert?

Last year before my concert date, I heard about someone bringing a copy of BN that Lindsey signed before handing it to Stevie to sign, too. I tried doing the same thing, but it didn't turn out the way I imagined.

I was afraid my BN sleeve would get bent, so I brought a Fireflies 7" single picture sleeve and hoped Lindsey would get Stevie to sign it as well. Well, two girls beside me were taller than me and closer to Lindsey, so they gave it to him for me at the end of Mick's solo. Needless to say, only Lindsey signed it - which is still awesome! It was the only thing he signed - but now I have a picture sleeve from a Stevie song with Lindsey's autograph on it.

So, has anyone else here had luck with getting autographs from the stage, a set list, or one of Lindsey's picks?

I got my cd copy of Seeds We Sow signed by Lindsey last year! I doubt Stevie would sign anything unless prompted by Lindsey.

I would say you have a better chance of getting christine or lindsey to sign than Stevie. Stevie is very phobic about people selling her autograph on ebay which is why she insists on personalizing everything she signs.

Yeah you can easily get Lindsey to sign things for you he signed a ticket for me in the past with no issues at all. I just ran up and handed it to him - ha! He is so cool like that I have asked him for a handshake, to play his guitar for a second and for a pick and its funny I got all of them except for a pick. He threw it at me and I dropped it and you all know how that goes people go insane for those things. Its not worth fighting over it that is for sure -ha!
Stevie on the other hand wont even acknowledge you unless you are at a solo show of her's and you can get to shake her hand during the Edge walk. I have been right at her feet numerous times and she just doesn't even go that route she just is in her own little world -ha ha!
Good luck to you!!

@BigAl: When Stevie did the signing in NYC at Barnes and Noble for her DVD/CD release that year, unfortunately none of those were personalized, as I understood it, because it would take all night if she personalized the entire 500 or so people who showed up. Pity that she couldn't, but I wonder if she worried that all 500 of those people would later sell the autographs....

Still, that was probably the only time I will ever get her signature, so I am grateful nonetheless!!

But when during the show can you get him to sign? Isn't he pretty much playing through the entire show? In between songs and Mick's solo...is there really that much time and he's close to fans? Still, it's nice to hear he interacts with fans. I wonder what's up Stevie's ass that she can't acknowledge or even look at the people closest to the stage. And somebody managed to get Christine's signature? How?
