If Lindsey finds a terrific non-ISA solo for Murrow, he can leave it. Otherwise, no way.

LEAVE COME ALONE! It stays.

But like I said before, he has to get that in somewhere! At least work it in a different song...sick of ISA.

I will admit when I saw FM on the SYW Tour 2003 at Staples here in LA, first night, that song, Come, almost made my head pop! It was amazingly dizzy'ing.

Yah...those 'shrooms worked magic.

Okay...as long as both are played, all is well.

Yeah, that would be OK with me. I would be happy to hear Lindsey do anything live in concert right.But I guess that won't happen anytime soon.

Even thought I've posted a few of these thoughts before, I will risk the criticism and post them again:
The crowd was very upbeat considering how it was filmed. Every song, except 'Big Lve' was performed twice. I loved that fact, but the reaction may have been subdued after the second perfomance.
Unlike Lindsey's 1992 Center Stage, the crowd in the front 15 rows stood the entire time (at the urging of some hard-core Ledgies).
After making a sizable "donation" to the Chicago PBS station and arriving 8 hours before the start of the filming, the last-minute ticket give-aways of the first three rows to "lucky fan club members" was extremely frustrating. Clearly, the bigger fans were not in the first three rows (especially the bald guy that they eventually moved).
There was some silent "dead time" between the different songs while guitars were switched out and the hard core fans screamed out the different songs they would love to hear (I screamed out 'Soul Drifter' and drew a smile/smirk from Lindsey). Someone yelled out 'Holiday Road' and Neale Heywood played a few chords and Lindsey and Neale chuckled as if Neale had tried to convince Lindsey to rehearse and play the song, but it obviously did not make the pre-performance cut.
A few audience requests did get played - 'Save Me a Place' and 'Bleed To Love Her' but they did not make the DVD.
Clearly, the show was an "acoustic" type of show, until he got to 'Murrow' and 'GYOW" which Lindsey introduced as "a couple of rude tunes."
I love the DVD, but it doesn't quite capture the magic of being there in person that night!

I bet it doesn't!

Thanks for all that, I LOVE hearing about the taping of these things.

Soul Drifter smirkiness indeed.

I can't remember without watching it again, which I will get around to this weekend. They were moments when Lindsey was playing aurally but he clearly wasn't playing the same notes physically. It wasn't quite as obvious as GYOW on The Dance but it's there. I'll get back to you on this one when I've watched it again.

Let me know.

You sure it's not just poor audio/visual syncing editing? That was what was going on The Dance. They edited together a few nights for the show.

Haha. Did they move that bald guy? He annoyed me to no end. I wrote that earlier in this thread, so I loved to read your tidbit about them moving him.

Shame they couldn't edit that dude out. He bugged.

I enjoyed reading your thoughts on your Sound Stage experience.

Murrow just blows me away and I would have loved to have seen 'Save Me A Place.'

And here's Sound Stage's Set List info (some of you have seen it):
Setlist: Original and Aired

Since a few people enjoyed the recollections, here are a few more interseting factoids:
I think a lot of video editing had to be performed as there were Allstate Insurance signs plastered all over the stage (a Season 2 sponsor). Since LB's performance moved from Season 2 to Season 3, it looks like they removed all traces of the ads.
At one point between songs, Lindsey complained that his new shoes "were killing" him.
A break in the performance was even longer than planned as Bret Tuggle noted that the chili he had for lunch had made is way through him.
I think Lindsey could have played a few more requests, but his wife was flying back to California and, as he said, he "need(s) to be with her, if you know what I mean."
