Chicago Show and Photos

Erin · #1 10-03-2008, 01:33 AM

Great show as usual, and since I can't sleep I'm the first one to report back! I was really happy to hear Treason as it's tied with Bel Air Rain as my favorite from the new album. I think Lindsey quite enjoyed all his birthday attention which included a serenade by the audience and Kristen getting to make a stage appearance. It was nice meeting a lot of Ledgies, but boy was that a long wait. Here are my pictures, not too shabby without the flash. Enjoy!

Very nice pictures. Thank you for sharing.
Kristen on-stage? She wasn't (gulp!) singing, was she?

Is it just me or in some of the shots, his hair is looking shorter than its been awhile??? I almost thought I saw the Tusk-era haircut for a second on the "red" photos.

Also, any change in the setlist? I Know Chicago is one of his favorites to play...

Yay for Indy on Sunday.

Hey Erin. Your pictures came out great. You were using a Nikon right? Those pictures are 10x better than my Sony would take. Since we were standing right next to each other, its nice to see the pictures from the same view.

It was great meeting you. Gretchen, were you standing directly behind Erin by chance?

And Regina, no, Kristin was not singing. She came to give Lindsey a hug and kiss after he introduced her to the audience.

The show was great but I was standing in one spot for almost 4 hours and damn did my legs hurt after wards!

I was standing right behind Erin and my Hubby was right behind me.

Hi!!! Did that drunk guy mow you over trying to get to Linds?? haha

Erin your photos came out great! I was off to the right side of the stage and the camera nazi was on me the whole time so most of my pictures are blurry from not using the flash and trying to be sneaky while taking them. Some of them came out pretty nice so if anyone wants to take a look.

Thanks for the pics, glad everyone had a good time!!

Thanks for the compliments everybody! I'm curious to see Alicia's pics, since her Stevie ones are always awesome. I did use a Nikon L3, which is not a great camera by any stretch of the imagination. The key is to use the sports setting, which is available on most digital cameras. Sports setting doesn't use a flash and ups the ISO, however it only works well if you're up close. My Stevie pics from June were taken with the same setting, but because I was farther away they didn't turn out nearly as well.

The drunk guy was the highlight of the show, was it not? "Lindsey, I want to shake your hand." I swear this guy has done this before. But hey, Wild Heart you got a high five thanks to drunk guy!

Gretchen, it's always fun to see you and Tom.
