Little Big Town Remembers The Thrill

I just meant that Little Big Town brought a little more energy or life to the
songs. Their harmonies were great on the Fl. Mac songs. I remember thinking when I first watched the show that I wished Lindsey would tour with these guys. I think it challenged Lindsey a little more to be up there with them instead of Stevie, Mick and John. I like my Mac, but they've been running on cruise control for a long time. Except of course when Lindsey get's his chance to rock on songs like "Come".

BTW, I thought Lindsey's solo tour rocked.

I'd still pay $$$ to see the Mac.

Point taken...it helps to be 30 years younger though...

I love LBT btw, but I just think the Mac gets dissed too much in regards to the "cruise control" thing. I am looking forward to seeing them for the first time. I saw both Stevie and Lindsey this past year and Lindsey did not (in my front frow opinion) exhibit that much more energy than Stevie. In fact, I was really surprised at observing his calm "zone" during one of his most rocking solos. I can see why people really love him - as I do - but because he's a player and adds a few jumps - which are really long stretches where he stands up straight and bounces back down - and flailing his arms over his guitar a bit (animated antics) - it appears he is rocking out more than the other members of the Mac. I think what causes this complaint is the Mac's set list - which I won't get into in this forum. The reason people don't mind LB or LBT doing the same songs is because it is a bit of a different interpretation which breathes new life into the status quo. To me it shows how good the music actually is because the audience still loves it. Also, I think the fact that LBT are huge Mac fans really came through that show. It certainly wasn't like throwing Taylor Swift and Def Leopard together....

I hate that song too if you going to do a tribute to someone at least just cover the whole damn song instead of stealing them and the song (kid rocks)sucks too I am surprised the record label agreed to put that out on a cd.Warren Zevon is probably turning over in his grave for sure and pretty much most of Lynrd Skynrd are doing the same in there graves.

Cool vid find, MacMan! I loved those! The Chain one reminded me of a party where me and some friends just sat round and sang that with me on guitar. Biggest difference was that our harmonies were way off!

MACMAN!

I believe the "cruise control" term is due to exactly what you said, "The Set List". The same songs night after night has to get boring to them. I know they take very long breaks between tours, and get paid big money. But how many times can you sing "Go Your Own Way" or "Dreams" and not get bored with them, or just go through the motions?

But if you are going to see them for your first time you'll really enjoy it. Nothing compares to the first time you see them (or any favorite) in concert. Watching them on video makes it a little easier to pick them apart, especially after multiple viewings. But I doubt that will be the case in person. I wish everyone who's a fan would get to see them at least once.

haha, well that's what I get for trusting babelfish instead of doing some actual research! It was 4.07am over here when I posted it so I guess I was probably drunk and if I wasn't then I was no doubt exceedingly tired! I will learn Dutch one day though... I think you guys are one of the coolest nations on the planet and I look forward to coming back for another visit some time in the (hopefully) not too distant future.

Anyway, on topic: Those clips rocked

Totally. I've been once before but was too young to really experience too much of it so it's somewhere I'd really like to visit again.
