Lindsey in Nashville this Thursday

[michelle2677]

last night was amazing. lindsey seemed to be in pretty good spirits. he was playful with the audience but also reluctant to take compliments. some things never change there was a moment (maybe when he was switching guitars?) when a guy yelled "LAY ME DOWN IN THE TALL GRASS!!" and lindsey was kinda taken aback, collected himself then said something along the lines of "uummm, well, maybe next time"

he discussed "big love", talking about when he left the band and wrote the song. someone made a comment about "looking for love" and he said "no, not looking FOR love. looking OUT for love, on the defense, retracting away". i though that was very telling, even though we basically already knew that. i thought he sounded amazing and seemed to enjoy himself. he discussed a few times about the difference in the "big machine" (fm) vs. the "small machine" (solo) and the small machine enabled him to be creative and do things the way he wanted. he also talked about how he started off with a 10 piece band, and things kept getting smaller and smaller (making hand gestures, started out spreading his arms out, then smaller and smaller, describing how intimate it was getting) until he got down to just himself and said it looked like were just getting him tonight. of course, the audience went wild.

last night was amazing. i was able to see a musical genius with some amazing people. i was basically in awe of him the entire night and he was very humbled and gracious after every song, seeming almost embarrassed from the applause. ~the applause from it all is so defining~

anyway, we were in a very intimate venue, maybe 300 people were there. when we got there, everyone was already sitting down and not many people stood up unless it was for a standing ovation after a song. there was no "rushing the stage" or a big to-do about it. everyone just listened and took it all in. at the end, a few people would walk up and take his picture, but that was about it. he said his goodbyes (after about an hour and 10 minutes) and about 5 or 6 guys walked up to the stage to shake his hand. he looked at me, (there was hardly anyone up there except for me and those guys) but i didn't get up there in time to shake his hand. he went down the line of all the guys, started to walk off to leave, then turned around and smiled at me and came down to shake my hand. i literally. almost. f*cking. died. it meant more to me than stevie because her's is so unemotional and robotic. this was intimate. it was real. i'll never forget it.


the pictures are crappy. security were bastids. this is all i could do LOL
