Lindsey fired on all cylinders on all songs (an "Oh Well" for the record books).

Stevie excelled during Sara (what an exit), Storms (of course), Gold Dust Woman, Silver Springs, while Dreams, Rhiannon, Gypsy seemed lackluster to me. Stand Back was fun.

Almost no rapport between Stevie and Lindsey (despite HIS efforts). Strange. Yet, their styles complimented each other. She was very regal. He was like the court jester.

No banter between them. Little talking to the crowd on Stevie's part (except for a "hello, pennsylvania" opening and a brief intro to "Storms" for old-time and future Mac fans).

It's funny how no one is talking much about SYLM and I haven't seen a video of that yet. I enjoyed it, once it got going. Shaky start I think.

I know what you mean about their styles complimenting each other. I compared them being at his mic together for Sara to the SYW tour and the difference was stark. Yet, the fact that they weren't interacting there, less than a foot apart from each other, almost was the icing on the song's ending. It capped the mood of loss. Their singing together at the end of the Storms was the high point of the night to me, but when they shared vocals on Sara, that worked too. In fact, even Gypsy when Lindsey sang "I can still see your bright eyes" with her, I felt that the song had a little more spark.

I was a little concerned that Lindsey would tone things down and think he had to rein his performance in from what it was during SYW. Thank goodness that didn't happen.

I hope they are on fire by the time they get to MSG. I won't be seeing them there, but hope you do. I know it's an important show to them and they should be at the top of their game.

Next time I want to make a point to look at the moving screens more. I think I missed a lot of that, because they were at an awkward angle for me. Your vivid description makes me think they added another element to the show. Yet more to appreciate.

Thanks Niki. Even though digital cameras have been around for awhile and I should be used to it, the clarity can still astound me. I can count the hair on Mick's arms in these photos.
