All in all, the end of an era.

Except for the blistering solo's. He still pours them out with the same blister, passion, pace, sharpness and soul.

I think his solos have somewhat lessened in intensity. IMO GYOW on the FM Live record is way more intense to me than The Dance or later versions, which I think are still good, but just not as intense. LB is like pizza - even when it is bad, it is still pretty good

A person's reaction to something is their reaction.
It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Stevie vs. Lindsey, which seems to be chiffon's gut reaction to any eyebrow that is raised. And that's what is seriously turning me off. Again, a reaction that is both mine and fine.

And I still hope both go if it remains tied.

Fair enough. yes. and i agree. a tie. lets move on. so that Gypsy can win.

Oh. come on. Strand. Take the opportunity to listen to the live solo's on IKINW, Great Day, Love Runs Deeper and even SHN. You can't say the intensity is lessened. Go your own way? On the "controlled" (read: officially recorded versions) I agree with you, but on the bulk of the bootlegs he just goes bazerk on them. He's been singing that song like crap on the UTS tour, GOS was better, but on the soloing you can't say he's lost intensity. Sometimes he overstretches and it falls apart in industrial noise-which I sometimes even prefer..but that aside..., but basicly he soars out a heck of a vigorised solo to these ears.

I agree. Twice.

Nah - I think he was wilder from Tusk back. Then again, they all were.

Again, his current stiff is good if not great though. I agree with ya there.

Actually, one of the more intense things I think he did was Say Goodbye on the SYW tour. I get that that song is not a rock and roll song, but the cadence of the song is intense to me, not to mention the looks those two gave each other.
