I thought it went over really well too. People were quiet because they were listening intently.

The only song I thought didn't fare maybe as well as others was Say You Love Me. Everything else had tremendous audience reaction. The crowd was really into it, and the band as a result.

Oh Well should be dropped. Lindsey, as brilliant as he is, doesn't really know how to play the blues.

Anyone who thinks "Oh Well" is a blues tune doesn't know **** about the blues. (It still boggles my mind that Billy Burnette used to intro the song that way...what the hell was he thinkin'?) It's not like Lindsey's trying to play BB King or Elmore James tunes here.

That said, it's correct that Lindsey, even after all this time, has a tough time with it; however, after the clip I saw from last night, he's playing it better than ever...his guitar TONE still sucks (like a 1960's transistor radio on steriods with a serious sinus problem), but he's vastly improved his technique on the tune since 1982.

That's WHY Lindsey plays Oh Well...because it's not a blues song. He really has no place to sing the blues since he comes from a "Disneyland" background. LOL He can give that shout-out to Peter without going towards the blues.

They never said that. Not only have they not said they were going to do it, I don't think they have even mentioned the song in a good 20 years.

hmmm... I wonder why I thought that? Maybe it was all of our faux setlists? Anyway... I wouldn't mind dropping IKINW for Angel. Or drop Standback for SOTM. I am sure they will readjust and make things even better. I just have to have Silver Springs. it rocked.

P.S.
When are we gonna get the video from tonight's show? Or at least a review?

I thought SYLM picked up as it went along. That first verse Stevie did had me disoriented. I was trying to sing along and couldn't, but things improved.

I thought they were going to do "Hold Me."

They could do it as an instrumental only.

That's one of many "hits" they didn't do. I understand they're doing songs that people connect with, but don't call it a hits tour when in fact, it's not. The only way they could possibly do a true hits tour would be to bring Christine back.
