I never said he did. I was simply agreeing with him, based on what I heard. Again, not really that hard a concept.



well, maybe you just look at videos on youtube, without sound... perhaps because your sensitive musician's ears cannot stand the crappiness of it. but most people also listen to stuff they are looking at on youtube.


look, you may want to re-read some of your posts before pressing submit. i respect your opinions and love reading many of them, but the way they come across sometimes is.... well, let's just say, not very nice and not in the least respectful of others.

Apologies if I come across as not nice. It is not my intent. However, you keep telling me I've said things I didn't (I listened to YouTube with no sound?), and I think anyone would be frustrated by that. For instance, is the fact that I omitted the word "digital" here what is throwing you off?

"However, I was careful to say what I know of the show is from the recordings and the YouTube postings, and what I saw there did not move me. I would have loved a completely different approach. And I bet I would be saying the same thing, had I gone to a show. It's possible to enjoy the performance when you're at the venue and then not like the recording or video of it."

Because, from what I read there, it's pretty clear I didn't like the "recordings." Or is there a better way to say that? Or are you, by any chance, aware of any non-digital recordings of this particular tour? Because I would be willing to bet there are none. You tell me, though.

You seem to want everybody to agree everything Lindsey does is absolutely great. The problem is there are no absolutes in this great world. Lindsey makes bad calls. And going on tour by himself doing exactly what he had been doing all along, but without a band, was a bad call, in my opinion. And the sound suffered for it. Go Your Own Way sounds horrible, for instance, without a band. However, he could have salvaged the song if he had cared to rearrange it as a quiet solo performance. He chose not to.

Or are you going to argue with me that Lindsey has a track record of lazy setlists? That he plays the same old crap again and again. That, especially with FM, there is no variation even in the sequencing of the songs? That as a solo performer he still dedicates half the show to FM songs when all he really would need to do is two or three?

You seem to think he's infallible. And the only person I know who is that is the pope.
