Lindsey AND Stevie on Ellen

[shackin'up]

Hmm, interesting, Shut Us Down WITH band. That is quite a turn. Normally he rearranges bandsongs into acoustic solopieces, now he's going the other way round? You just never know with this guy.



at least he didn't do NGBA and Big Love, Like Stevie did with Stand Back and Landslide. booooooooooooooring!

Wellllllll, Stevie was promoting her greatest hits cd (and face it, they are her best known songs) and Lindsey was promoting a new album.

No, but they never seem to leave his set do they

No, but we can't say he does them in a lackluster routine way either huh?

At least he played a NEW song, and even THAT one in a NEW arrangement.

Come on, Strandie, at LEAST she could have picked something more "recent" and surprising. And at LEAST you could have commented something more cheerful about Lindsey's choice.

Oh -- I agree La Nicks needs to update her schtick!

As for LB, he pretty much does the same set each night, though he is to be lauded for the changes and spontenaeity he shows at times!!!

Still he did a new song in a new arrangement on national television. Hurray, lindsey, Strand sings a chanson for you, because you have the guts to do something different.

I won't say anything about the comment on Stevie ( ) but I agree about Lindsey, I'm really happy he did SUD since I think it's a masterpiece.

No, I was unable to make it to the Atlanta show because of work. Sadly, I missed La Nicks with Petty for the same reason

I thought LB did a great job. Loved the arrangement of this song.

I'll say something positive about it... at least it wasn't "Not Too Late" for the fifth time!

Nah, seriously, it wasn't bad. I especially LOVED what he was doing during the last 45 seconds or so of the song. Very pretty.
My mom thought the whole song was terrific.

I'm still trying to figure out, though, how these "stripped down" songs can sound more busy and "cluttered" than his music ever did before, even when he was throwing toy pianos, chair-backs, cowbells and the kitchen sink into the mix! Guess it's just not my thing.

Were you just using toy pianos as random example of the plethora of instruments and sounds he would use or did he actually use one somewhere? Because I am seriously obsessed with the sound of toy pianos and I would flip if I heard one in a Lindsey song.
