Well, he WAS the musical director.

Here’s evidence that it was Lindsey who neutered the songs.

Yeah, but I'm sure he did things to appease the old goat.

I bet when it comes to music, she does not tell him how to play (anymore). IMHO Sisters was no longer an encore and they shortened it as to include more songs in the set list. Stevie has no powerful voice so why should it also have a powerful ending?

Speaking of edits, the most strange that Stevie does have control over is her editing out her last verse of Edge of 17. The song is longer than ever with all her doves crying and long ending and she eliminates one of her best verses ever written. Makes no sense.

Is this your first day here? Has she ever made sense? It's a wonder she remembers to breathe!

of course he did.

and he stopped when Chris came back. one of the reasons he's out now.

Lindsey's OOTC tour as an example? oh yeah that was definitely one neutered tour.

“The Chain” was certainly neutered. Even the solo after the bass solo was significantly pared down. Blah. Like, why bother?

The counter to that is “Black Magic Woman” from the last tour where there was an extended jam with Mike and Christine.

Black Magic Woman isn't her song and she did sing Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah over the jam at the shows I attended. She introduced the song saying that it was written by Peter Green and that she thought it was written by Carlos Santana (she never said Santana but a band that will remain nameless)

No soloing in Rhiannon which would've been nice. I wish Neil had sung Black Magic Woman instead of Stevie. Chris would've sounded good on that one too.

That was the best moment in the tour for me. Watching them jam.

Do you think Mike was the musical director on the last tour?

Chuck Leavell is for The Stones. Dave Rosenthal is for Billy Joel. Davey Johnstone for Elton. Waddy for Stevie.

I don’t know if they had one, to be honest. I think it was more of a group effort.
