Note to Lindsey

[QUOTE=Regina;630691]You know, I don't think he's gearing this show toward fans who've seen it multiple times (and I absolutely include myself in that group). And, keeping that in mind, I think he's not doing the same old, same old. Hell, a few months ago we were all applauding him for going out on a limb and doing requests at all and now, after only really a few months or touring, we need him to shake things up again? I just think it's a trifle unrealistic and unfair. As a fun fantasy thing, yes. It's fun to imagine stuff he might sing but the reality is a whole other story.

Jeez. He's got an album to plug and I think he's smart enough to know what to play for folks who will only see him once and are expecting certain "standards."

I'd love to hear him do a few songs live that I haven't heard before but...I'm not about to accuse him of lack of guts or creativity if he doesn't.[/QUOT

Wow - couldn't have said it better! An artist isn't playing to the people who choose to see them multiple times - especially if they have new material to promote!

Unless, it's the Grateful Dead.

Funny - that was one show I was dragged to when I was 16 - and hated....
Yeah, you can add Dave Matthews Band and Phish too. Gee, what's the common thread there - drug usage - lots of it!!!!
I've never enjoyed the "jam" shows.

I don't think that I can name even one GD song anyway. DMB, I could never see the big attraction with them but I am sure that people feel that way about The Mac. As for Phish, I do like the ice cream flavor.

Uh - I didn't mean the band members - I meant the fanbase!!!!!

And I agree Phish Food rules!!!!!

I "get" what you mean - but I'm not sure that Dead fans would have stopped showing up even if the set lists weren't so diverse - that was what I meant!

Diehard fans would always like to see things mixed up more - we just don't always make up the majority of the audience........
