First off, I want to thank David! It was so great to meet him this weekend and share such a phenominal show!! He was a wonderful tour guide! Lori40, it was great meeting you! I'm glad you made it to the show!!

Like David said, he met us at our hotel and we followed him into the city. (Beautiful by the way!!) We managed to brave the cold and watch Lindsey and his family arrive at the venue. David got recognized and a handshake from Lindsey. I have to say, his children and Kristen are just SO beautiful. The kids seemed happy to be with their Daddy!

After that we headed on over to Hard Rock, had a nice dinner and on we went to the show. I honestly thought the crowd was going to suck. I can't descibe why but I just wasn't feeling it. Luckily, so many were drinking. Boy was I wrong!! Before he started Not Too Late, some guy yelled out Countdown and Lindsey just laughed, went to the mic and said, "It's the same guy every show!" Anyway, after every song Lindsey got a standing ovation. The sound was phenomial...seemed louder than usual but I liked that. It seemed like every song last night had even more passion put in it. It's hard to describe in words really. The energy was fantastic and he was feeding off of our audience!! The solo on I'm So Afraid had everyone on their feet going mad...he just kept playing it...and playing it...and playingit. It was amazing!!! It had to go on an extra 2 minutes longer than usual. Brett and Neil kept looking at Lindsey mouthing "WOW!" He had a couple of new speeches...one before It Was You. Obviously because his family was there, he dedicated it to them. He sang the hell out of that song too!! He changed the Red Rover speech a little bit but not much. The band intros were quicker...I think he was trying to get out of there a little earlier.

The security was also an initial concern, but either they are really gung-ho about the audience being right up at the stage at the theatre or Lindsey had a talk with them because during Tusk, the security started waving people up happily. My friend and I were 5 rows back and some how managed to get up at the stage and yes, a miracle happened again! We got to play the guitar!! I couldn't see David as he was on the opposite side...but I soon found out he got to play the guitar too. Once we were up there obviously we didn't budge. I think my favorite part of the end of the evening was seeing Kristen and the kids in the wings waiting to head out. I had a clear view and during Show You How, Lee Lee and Kristen were dancing a little. SO CUTE!! William looked like he was ready to go but it turns out, he was ready to hug his Daddy!! After Shut Us Down (which he extended a little as well) Lindsey was blowing kisses to the audience, turned around to walk toward the fam and William took off running toward his Dad. Lindsey knelt down and scooped his son up and carried him off stage. We knew he wasn't going to stay after because of Easter and his family etc...but we waited and at least said goodbye and Happy Easter to them. What a wonderful evening!!

All in all...Lindsey left his guts on that stage last night!! We got Bucked hard core!! Woohoo!!

I know this review is a little random, but there's just SO much to try to absorb. I'll add more when it comes to me. Things just keep popping into my head. **David, did I leave anything out?
