Soundstage might never see the light of day - Page 2

When it didn't air in '04 I started losing hope. Fans lucky enough to be there are the only one's who'll ever get to experience some of those songs other than on bootlegs. We should have known better with his track record. Why, oh why didn't somebody sneak in a tape recorder? GOS will probably never see the light of day, officially. Much thanks to whomever leaked those songs. I play them at least once a day.

For sure it's not a move that helps in terms of PR. I hope he would change his mind; the performance, from what I've read, was stellar.

I suppose when you've got nothing to promote or aren't interesting in promoting, PR really isn't all that necessary. I suppose if FM does indeed record another album or at the very least, tours once more, they could air his Soundstage in conjunction with that.

Hah. Why doesn't he overdub it to the extreme like they did with The Dance then?

I did read from somewhere once that someone was trying to tape the whole thing, but Lindsey's management interfered.

I was referring more in terms of the general relationship with the media. It's already difficult to find news about his solo career, to behave like that wouldn't encourage any Tv to work with him on a similar project in the future, I think.

But nothing is official yet, and in any case, he can always change his mind.

Ahh...sorry. Very true. When people don't count you nor look at you as a viable solo artist, you're already up the creek without a paddle so-to-speak. I still can't believe he ended up doing Soundstage. To throw it away does seem to show a lack of consideration on his part. Then again, you know Lindsey...if the right 500 people heard it...

Someones gotta change his mind

I was perplexed myself back in August of 2003 as to why he was doing this show. He did not have anything to promote at that time. His response to me in Philly about the whole Soundstage question was really odd, too. I really did not get a good vibe about the whole thing and I was really afraid to post that. I still don't want to say what he told me at first but then he did say that it would air this spring. Something is fishy.

Because, they took everything away from us even our cell phones! I guess that someone could have gotten a recording device in but I think that we were all too afraid of being caught and thrown out to try!

If someone acted like this in some other business, we would call it illness. But in "artists," it's called "perfectionism" or "the artistic temperament."

Lindsey was actually mixing a live album CD of Soundstage at one point with Mark Needham, but that stalled, too. Maybe he felt the show would make a better audio than video. (I got to hear some stuff from it, like GYOW, which sounded just like all the other GYOWs to me.)

I don't think the audio or the video will ever legitimately see the light of day.

Very true.

I had forgotten someone posted (it may have even been you) knowing that Lindsey had been in with Mark Needham. Would WB have been releasing the audio or would it have been through PBS like the Live In Boston DVD? At any rate...very odd.

eeee-vil girl...

and i don't care how i get it, i don't care if it's on effing laserdisc or beta or 8-track... put the damned thing out there.

i would take the audio, but seeing him perform those songs is the aim.

oh, and overdub it to the max if you must, make it perfect, whatever. i'm fine with the highly unreal Dance, those countless hours spent mixing in vocals and all that is what makes it such a fabulous and pristine album. otherwise, it would be a boot.

I can't say that I'm surprised.

He has always been a perfectionist about his work, especially his solo work. I'm thinking that we'll never see the Soundstage performance, and I'm predicting his solo album will be released in 2013.

Lame. This is the point where Lindsey's personality traits meet My Last Nerve!
