Well, I'm still in shock...Austin and now FORT WORTH!! DAMN!! I am writing up my experience, but it just keeps getting longer. I will get it up soon as well as more pictures with Lindsey!!!

BTW, Christy...we hung out with the camera crew at Flying Saucer last night!! They recognized me and came over for some drinks and pictures. They gave us some info about Lindsey and the DVD!! I'll post that soon too!!!

Right now...I need SLEEP.

[wondergirl9847]

You cannot sleep!! I need details about the camera crew! They were super cool...well, the two guys at the front of the stage were. Didn't talk to anyone else.

Hurry up and sleep...and get back here! LOL

Hey Christy! It was great meeting you and Lindsey (#1LiddyBuckFan) after the concert Saturday night.

I don't have too much to add to your review. It was a great show. Lindsey was, as you stated, in a great mood. He was very playful with the crowd, and seemed to be having a great time up there. When he messed up at the beginning of SUD, and started up again, someone yelled "Get it right this time". He started laughing and had to stop playing again, and replied something like "Settle down, you guys, and let me play!". It was great to see him so relaxed and not taking himself too seriously.

One other weird thing that happened. About 5 songs in, he mentioned that the show was being taped. Then he said "So, I'll be right back". He put his guitar down and went backstage. Everyone was looking around, like "WTF?" Even the band seemed to wonder what was going on. They were joking that they couldn't remember the chords for the next song anyway. There seemed to be some yelling going on backstage. It sounded like someone back there called "Lindsey!". After a couple minutes, he came back onstage, picked up the guitar, and introduced the next song. No explaination as to why he left the stage. I'm not sure what that was about. Maybe he just had to go to the bathroom?

Anyway, meeting Lindsey of course was the highlight of the evening. He was incredible with the fans! I was afraid he'd just wave, get in the car, and leave. But he took time with everyone that asked him for a picture or autograph. He was incredibly nice and gracious. And he was wonderful with my son, Josh. When I asked if we could have our picture taken with him, he knelt down to get to Josh's level. He also gave Josh his autograph, and talked to us for a few minutes. He thought that Josh was the same kid that was sitting up front with drumsticks. (Josh actually did not attend the show with me.) When I told him that wasn't him, he said "Really? That kid looked about the same age." The way he said it was like he didn't believe it was a different kid! LOL

The picture is hysterical. Lindsey has a little of the "deer caught in headlights" look. I am grinning like a maniac, and look like stalker psycho fan. And Josh is wide-eyed, staring at Lindsey like he's thinking "I can't believe I'm actually standing next to Lindsey Buckingham!" (My son adores Lindsey, and used to be quite obsessed a couple years back. He'd play his little guitar, watching The Dance and SYW, immitating Lindsey to a tee.)

(Christy, your picture with him is incredible! You both look great.)

I also got to meet Taku when he came out earlier. He also asked me if Josh was the kid with the drumsticks! LOL He was incredibly nice and down to earth as well. I told him that Josh loves Lindsey, but I didn't take him to the show because I was afraid he was too young, and that he's sensitive to loud noise, so I thought the music would hurt his ears. I said that after seeing the kid with the drumsticks, who had on ear protectors as well, that I was beginning to think maybe I should have just gotten him ear plugs or protectors. Taku proceeded to tell me that he used to wear the protectors when he started drumming, and told me where I could get some!

Anyway, as Christy already mentioned, it was a great night and a great show. I'm glad I finally got to see him solo.

BTW, I did take a handful of pictures. Here are a few that turned out halfway decent:







I also took a few short video clips. I haven't uploaded them (or watched them) yet. If they turned out decent, I'll try to post them later.

Woweeee..what a great picture of you and lindsey, I'm really pleased you finally got it!!
To think you've done so much, in the last couple of years by yourself (and it all started with a plane trip to London...) you deserve to be having such a fab time.hope there's more to come

[#1LiddyBuckFan]

OK, so first I have to say…Ledgies Rule!!! I had so much fun this weekend!!!

I tried not to keep this so long, but you might have to take an occasional break to finish reading it. So, I apologize early for being long winded.

I was lucky enough to get front row seats on the left side of the stage for my best friend and I – I was pleased because I wanted to play his guitar. I found out in Austin, Christy was right behind us. How lucky was that?? I

Thanks to you Ledgies, I read about the filming at Bass Hall but wanted to confirm it, so I called the venue and THEY claimed to not know a thing about it at all. So, I was concerned it was just a rumor but we decided to put on a little more make-up just in case. LOL As we walked up to Bass we saw the signs on the doors and I knew it: There would be a taping!! Woo!!

We get to our seats and spot Christy and her mom…then we decided it was time to work out a game plan. Can we stand? Can we talk to him? Can we let our true ‘freakshow’ out? OR Are they going to drug us and expect us to be drones Ã* la The Dance. Christy and I go speak with the film crew and ask the protocol…they tell us their plan and how they don’t want to get in our way because we spent all of this money (Ahem…yeah right, see “I know I’m Not Wrongâ€� below).

The show starts…he gets an ovation before he does anything which was really cool. You can tell he’s pumped. The first 3 songs, I was already getting some “eye loving� from Lindsey whenever the camera guy wasn’t in front of me and when Second Hand News started…I was standing. I couldn’t help myself! Brett loved us up dancing too…lots of thumbs up and nods from him. So, after SHN, Lindsey explains that the show is being filmed but if we could just give him a second. He leaves the stage for a minute if even that and comes back and gets geared back up. Seconds after this, Jessica and I are approached to move over to the center front (an area originally supposed to be empty for filming.) At first I actually thought maybe Lindsey went back and had us moved over because we were awesome, knew all of the words and just having fun…how cocky is that, right? Well, y’all…he did have us moved. I hung out with the film crew for a bit at the Flying Saucer. They recognized me and came over…they asked me my name and I told them, “Lindsey� After their initial “No ****?!� reaction to my name, they said “Well Lindsey, you got some major face time for this DVD! Hope you don’t mind!� WOW So I asked why Lindsey left the stage in the beginning…and they told me to move us over. How kick ass is that?! So, not only did Lindsey “upgrade us�, he played to Jessica and I A LOT. The interaction with him was fantastic! Here’s a quick rundown of my lovin’:

Second Hand News: Lots of eye contact on this one and a quick point!

It Was You: I felt like we were the only ones yelling for his kids. Christy, were their other people screaming? He loved that a few people were in any case.

I Know I’m Not Wrong: Always love jumping up for this song! Unfortunately shortly after it started, I got plowed by the cameraman. He knocked me back into my seat. The look on Lindsey’s face was classic though. It was a cross between confusion and shock. I got right back up!

I’m So Afraid: WOW!! I hope Christy's powerful scream makes the DVD on this one! Jessica and I had pretty much this entire solo played right to us!! There are no words for this experience. Now I’m a guitar player. I respect the man’s skills first and foremost but good God, but I am a woman and Guitarbation a foot away!!…I need a cigarette just thinking about it!!

Tusk: I made signs for this one. They weren’t big but Lindsey could read them. They said “Real Savage-Likeâ€�. My hope was that he would read it and say it for everyone to hear. Well, he did something even better! He saw the sign and kind of scrunched down, jamming and started his “I’m creeping up on you walk while staring you downâ€� with that growly look on his face (Y’all know what I’m talking about ) toward us repeating “real savage-likeâ€�. HOT! SO HOT! I hope they got close-up of him doing that for the DVD!!

Go Your Own Way: Got to play THE guitar…’nuff said! HELL YEAH!!

Save Me A Place: I got some eye contact while he sang some of the song. That meant a lot just because of how much I adore SMAP. Got a little tear in my eye on that one!

He was very responsive to the audience and in such a great mood. Laughing. A couple of his “jokes� bombed, but he laughed it off. He sang every song with so much passion (yes, seemingly more so than always). I know it was because of the taping, but it was so overwhelming and blissful! It should be a fantastic DVD!! I sure hope Turn It On makes the DVD cut…he was reading lyrics off the ground on that one. Maybe it’ll sneak in…I enjoyed that immensely!

Christy pretty much told you about the picture session after the show…we waited about an hour for him to come out and thanks to Christy, we waited! He was SO accommodating and sweet and ultra smiley!! I can’t express enough just how amazing it feels to have him put his arm around you. I caught eyes with Kristen, waved and thanked her because she seemed ready to go. She seemed very sweet about it though. Here is my Ft. Worth picture and some various others. The film crew is the last shot! “I’m in the Go Your Own Way shirt. I’ll post my Austin picture with him soon!

Thanks for letting me get it all out!! LOL Can’t wait for the 3rd leg!
