The guy who kept yelling for Eric Clapton until Lindsey laughed and said something like "poor guy is at the wrong concert," the non-standing until Tusk was 3/4 of the way over, it seemed.

I was really kind of upset over it. I want the man to get the recognition he deserves and I think, in the end, he does get it...he just has to work like mad before it shows.

He was not yelling for Eric Clapton. He was making a point that Lindsey is a guitar god himself by saying, "Eric Clapton who?" Unfortunately the "who" was not as audible. That guy was right behind me.

The crowd was weird. During his first song the orchestra section was less than half full, but it filled up by Second Hand News. Boston crowds are usually great, but I dunno. Something was awry. Very subdued, but I've never been to the Orhpeum and seen a wild crowd. Its too...old.

For Franz Ferdinand it was crazy. Same for Stereophonics. It's Lindsey's music that is odd and subdued which is reflected in the crowd. Maybe? A bit. I wish he would pick up the tempo on some of his songs. That said, I think Lindsey is the mad scientist of guitar! He is a master for sure.

Some memorable highlights:

I got my ticket at the box office at 4:45 when Lindsey started his soundcheck! Oh that was cool. There is nothing that can make me more excited than Lindsey, Stevie or FM.
As I was getting my ticket Brett Tuggle was right outside smoking but I didn't know he was on this tour so I didn't say anything. So stupid [hits own forehead]. He did give me a smile and a nod though cuz I was wearing my crescent moon. No biggie.
Taku is an awesome percussionist. He was playing some board. I've never seen anyone do that. He had a wooden board in front of him, placed vertically and angled toward him. It looked like he was literally playing a giant cutting board. He is so into what he does and it is so hot!
Lindsey is a mad scientist on guitar as mentioned previously. He has the ms hair. I am awed by how many different styles of playing he has.
The sound at the Orpheum was top notch. I'm sure Lindsey's sound guy had a lot to do with that.
We hung out at The Ritz bar after but it is set off to the side and we honestly weren't paying that much attention so we really didn't see anyone.

Yeah, a couple of years ago before I knew who they were.

We did have some fun, didn't we?

I loved Boston but the venue was so strange. My knees were smashed against the stage!

It would be beautiful if they would remodel it.

Lindsey's fingers were bleeding after Go Insane.....he was a wild man! I agree he is a mad scientist and that the sound was awesome at the Orpheum.

Taku has always been a favorite of mine. I could watch him play for hours...he is really amazing.

Highlight songs for me were Under the Skin, Castaway Dreams and Down on Rodeo.

Is that normal? How do his fingers heal for the next show? Wouldn't they get worse? I'm worried.

I don't know if its normal or not. I have never noticed them bleeding before.

When he came over to play in front of us during Go Insane, his fingers were messed up! He wiped the sweat off his face and smeared blood all over his forehead.

It was quite a sight.
The next night, in CT, he played with a pick for quite a few songs. Even on stuff like Second Hand News. He has been playing things like UTS with a pick the whole tour but I think he used it for alot more songs at the CT show. I counted about eight songs before I stopped paying attention. I noticed Second Hand News because I know he did not use a pick on the SYW tour for that one.

He seemed fine at the CT show and played with just as much passion and intensity..he just used the pick more.

this is why I have mad respect (or one of the reasons) for players like Lindsey. my brother plays the guitar very, very well and I remember the pain he endured. like taking time to build up calluses (sp?), etc. -

I don't even remember him moving for Go insane. I thought he just stood in place the entire time. I noticed the cut on his forehead was bleeding during ISA.
