Lindsey Screws Up

[Regina]

I'm gonna quote myself from a little entry I wrote after the performance:

"What was different from what you saw on TV?
Well, we saw a soundcheck. It was Peacekeeper and it was about five minutes before their performance was aired.
I was very surprised to hear GYOW as their first song after they had just rehearsed Peacekeeper.
And there was a bit of a flub. Since I was, technically, behind them, I got to see Lindsey turn around and give the background musicians a kind of cute "What the hell was THAT?" look--he wasn't angry, just confused but he recovered quickly."

For a few moments, FM achieved the tunelessness of an elementary school band recital.

Now, didn't Schadenfreude16 already start a thread about this?

Not true...there's not an octave between those two notes.
I thinks it's F and G, which is only a single note..

I find Lindsey to rarely be on key and his pitch is often off. I've gotten used to it.

Although you phrased it fairly strangely, if I know what you mean, it is completely wrong. The very first two notes of Peacekeeper are an octave apart. And I hate to break it to you, but F and G are two different notes.

And most of the time, (apart from this opening) it turns out better than on key and pitch. Live his rawness is priceless.

And why are we picking on these openingchords? he tears the rest of the song to pieces! and in my opinion, in a positive, raw way.

who knows - I've yet to even really listen to it. Lindsey is, for sure, a god among musicians, IMO...he can do whatever the hell he wants.

I can understand anyone making a mistake on an instrument that requires relativly quick movements in weather like that. Don't know why your all winging thought it was a great preformance of the song.

Are the Adds really that cheesey in the states?

My thoughts exactly ...!

It's interesting to note that while the overall performance might be a bit unpolished, this is the only performance I've seen from the SYW era in which Lindsey hits the high note as he sings "GO your own way" in the chorus. Perhaps he injured his vocal chords at some point early in the tour?

No, that was just me exercising his tongue too hard.

Ha! Take THAT, Btflchld!

I love how during the commercial they took the Dance footage and tried to make it seem like they were so active in their concerts and so edgy, when The Dance DVD was probably the most mundane concert video i've ever seen.
