Pittsburgh baby!!! LB was on FIRE!!

[GoS]

Wait I totally saw you guys. I was sitting in the front row beside the dancing crew.

I was in the front row right in view of the guy in the staff chair. I started out the the cheesy camera, but he didn't seem to care so I pulled out the big boy. Got some amazing pictures too. I will upload them when I get the chance.

What a breathtaking review. It makes me feel the excitement of the concert just to read it. The way people have described TWLG being on fire live makes me really want to hear it. I can't wait. I don't think it stood out as much at the Saban concert. He must have really ratcheted it up.

Your pictures are wonderful too.

Thanks so much for this great description.

Aha! You were smart to test the waters first. Look forward to your photos.

I don't think I've heard that part before. I like the thought and the idea that it is cathartic for him -- although I already knew as much.

Even during the rockers. It was so awkward! On a side note, I think I may have met you once at the Cincinnati show during the UTS tour at the stage door after the show was over. I probably sound crazy, but you look familiar.

I don't have anything to add to your review other than the agreements that Lindsey rocked, the audience was too tame, and security was mean. I was lucky to meet up with erwk05 and hear about her other tour experiences! We tried to go up to the stage during a song and got told to leave. Boo.

Oh my gosh, I may have recognized you as well if I had only seen you! Ugh, I remember Cinci 2006... Lindsey was the most darling, amazing, generous guy and it was awesome chatting with everyone. I'm glad you had a fantastic time despite the uptight security. Jerks.

Thank you SO MUCH. Yeah, the pics weren't too bad, but I think they would have been fabulous with the other cam, but oh well...I'm glad to share them with you all.

I also don't have reservations if anyone wants to use these pictures for whatever. I'm happy to share them.

What an amazing time we had dancing and wigging out with LB!

You did a wonderful job of a review, I would just like to add some of the stage talk he gave us about how we are all still very connected to our inner child and that he's very much still that boy playing guitar in his room listening to brothers records. He also talked about how playing helps him find his center and how important it is that we all find what that is for us. The show started off with songs that were just Lindsey and his guitar and you could feel the spirit of that little boy who just wanted to play getting all the praise and applause and I agree, Nico, you get stunned watching his playing, a master at work.

He also touched on the whole making choices and then looking back on them and wondering if they were the right choice in the long run, seeds we sow.

And yes, I've seen LB several times now and every time he's better than the last. Like a fine wine I tell ya. Nice to see you again Nico! And about the Dancing, good for you for getting up and vibing, you single handedly got the energy in the people up out of their seats at the stage and feeding the band. Be yourself first always and last and you can't go wrong.

Yes, and it was so great dancing with you and your sweet sister. I'm glad to meet up with you girls again. You did a perfect job of remembering Lindsey's speeches, which I personally found beautiful and far from over-drawn or monotonous. They had a refreshing depth and terseness in comparison to some of the speeches he has been known to give, and I for one found they added a lot to the content of the material he was singing.

Hope I see you at another show soon DESTINY!!!

Anyway, sorry, I'm just irritated at this crap.

I knew you'd give us an amazing review. Love that pic of the guys too!! Terrific!! Oh and that one looks like the SUN is behind him!! VERY COOL!!

I agree with everything you said. I hope something is said/done to clarify this to fans because it does get worrisome when security can be such jerks. I can't wait to read YOUR review and I hope you can take many great pics with no interference.

Yay!! I'm glad you got to take fantastic pics with your big camera. At least it worked out for some, and that makes me happy. So you saw me? I was the girl in the PINK FLOYD shirt. lol! I totally loved every single one of the SWS songs live that I could not contain myself. Can't wait to see your pics!

Thanks Michele. I honestly LOVED this show so much and I think Lindsey's speeches actually added SO much to the entire vibe of the concert. He also seemed so genuinely impressed with the response from the crowd when he started his intros to each song. It was one gorgeous song after another and he was simply amazing. You should have seen all the people standing outside waiting for him...to me it was like 3 X the normal amount, but I could be wrong.

[Nico]

Thanks everyone who read the review and sort of got a taste of what may be in store for you, or just remembered your own experience. Also, take the pics and do whatever. I am happy to share them, though they're kind of smallish but whatever...Lindsey's show was incredible. He never disappoints and his voice sounded AMAZING. Let's not even get into his playing...

Have so much fun at your shows and share everything!!!

Michele

he said it at Saban before Go Insane. same text, at least about his center being a guitar. don't remember that he said anything about other people finding their own centers.
