Clearwater, Florida Roll Call

Probably one of the smallest venues on the tour (475 seats) the sold out show at the Capital Theater in Clearwater.
Anyone going? Any meet-ups planned before or after the event? I'll be driving up and staying overnite at a beach hotel. Hope to see some of you there.

Lindsey Buckingham (Capitol Theatre, today): The high-haired Fleetwood Mac guitar star turned 62 this week. And yet, despite his aging fingers, he remains one of the most furious, and underrated, pickers in the rock pantheon. This sold-out gig couples his own hits (Go Insane, Trouble) with a smattering of Mac gems (Go Your Own Way, Tusk), all of which will be threaded with nimble riffs that blend baroque with bombast. Oh, and he makes some of the best "guitar faces" around. Such anguish! (rutheckerdhall.com)

I will be there tomorrow in the balcony...2nd row. Tonight's show in Fort Pierce was AWESOME. GREAT crowd! Hope tomorrow is great as well.

I am hopefully meeting a friend of mine before the show, but I can meet up somewhere...just post here if you know of a good place near the venue.

See you tomorrow!

I'm in Orchestra Center Section Row K seat 9.
A couple of "Ruth Eckerd Hall/Capital" events have cancelled this year which I was supposed to attend with some friends...Elvis Costello and Blondie so I'm yet to see a show in Clearwater. Not too familiar with the area. I'll most likely eat at Hyatt to use my 50% discount LOL, but could meet up with some ledgies for drinks or whatever prior to the show or possibly afterwards.
If anyone is looking for tickets check http://tampa.craigslist.org
Hope to see you there.
Brian

Attending. My non-Ledge name is Mariel and I'll be in J-24. There's nothing in that neighborhood unless you are a Scientologist, but there's plenty of fabulous places in the area. If we get a few people together, we can hit the beach establishments afterward.

Just saw the crew setting up behind venue. Trying to figure whether to drive or take a cab? How is parking around there?

Stood outside the back of the venue for a few hours and it was well worth it for another pic with Lindsey. Here we are. Soundcheck was really late today. See you all after the show!

Great show! Highlights for me was Illumination, Tusk and Under the skin...new material was great and well received. Got to see the band leave a restaurant prior to the show. Christy and Mariel it was great to meet both of you. Thanks for hangin and drinking with this "old guy". Great time. Hope to do it again. Brian

Such a fantastic pic! You look adorable together and LB looks hot with those sunglasses. Thanks for sharing.

My voice is shot from screaming last night. LOL But it was an AWESOME SHOW! Probably the BEST crowd of my 3 shows in Florida.

Brian is right, the new songs were really well-received, which made me (and I know, Lindsey!) very happy.

The crowd got up at the end of ISA and stayed up. It was the most rockin' GYOW of my 3 shows. People dancin' their booties off.

Lindsey got fascinated with the light his guitar gave off on the wall. It was a running thing last night. Ha! He's like "It's been how many shows and I've never noticed that until now."

There was a technical issue with the mic also, and he goes "What the hell? It didn't do that in soundcheck." Heh.

Mottabam (Brian) and Mariel (xxxmx), it was wonderful to meet you and I had fun last night.

I am about to head home, but I had a terrific time seeing the shows in Florida. I gotta go back to reality for 2 weeks, then head to Napa at the end of the month.

I have SUCH a difficult life.
