Could you make out any of the new lyrics? I know she's been saying "lost her in the shadows, she fell down into the shadows, she disappeared in the shadows, she's wasted in the shadows, dying in the shadows, gone into the shadows, lost her in the shadows..."

What I think is so cool about the current versions is how it seemed to become this "thing" throughout the tour - not scripted or rehearsed so much as just all of them going with the feel and following each other. Very creative - I think they've still got it!

They were just the lyrics you've quoted there... not exactly "new" per se... but still amazing to hear something unheard before!...

I didn't notice it on the first night, but there were two really drunk slappers wrecking my view and concentration...

Yeah, I think it's cool the way she changes up the ending. Glad you had a great time!

This sounds like a good thing to me. Something different, something exquisite.

I love Stevie's riffing at the end of GDW. It's one of her best live tropes.

They scream, did she make you cry, make you break down, shatter your illusions of love, now tell me --

Lindsey kicks his boot, as if to spur Stevie right up to the pinnacle of the Go Home scream. Michele

There really was nothing new about any of the songs last night other than the fact that she wouldn't go for any of the high notes. She even stopped singing at times and let the girls carry the weight. So yeah, instead of doing a long wail at the end of GDW, it was a bunch of short, low "yeahs." the second night's show was a complete 180 degree change from the first night! She was a trooper for carrying on, but she clearly was not feeling well last night.

First of all, and I think it's really important to mention stuff like this, I would NOT have been able to see the Mac in Dublin Saturday night if it wasn't for Kathryn (known to all of us fondly as Sahara.), who swapped me a ticket at EXTREME short notice and was just so lovely and accomodating even though I was hella late getting to the 02 (stupid traaaaaaaains!! grr!!). Thanks again Kathryn, you're the epitome of a lady!

Second of all.. Ho.Lee.Schitt.. What a night.

They were absolutely unreal. Exceeded all expectations, especially Stevie who has never sounded so good. GDW was amazing, Storms had me in tears (in a good way of course..

), Silver Springs was spot on-not strained like so many videos I'd seen on youtube from the US leg, just packed with energy but poised and graceful.
The story about her joining Fritz was so cute and she got a HUGE applause for once again mentioning the San Francisco rock era that Fritz was a part of as being the most important in modern day music.
Landslide dedication was perfect, couldn't have been a better dedication in my opinion.

Fair play to John, didn't responde to any nonsense calling all night.. what a rock he is! And the scissors trick was hilarious.

Comment of the evening undoubtedly goes to Mick for the following gem (during the band announcement) "Over there with an array of pianos and keyboards I don't know how he handles them all.. BUT HE HANDLES THE ORGAN VERY WELL!"

(Even if some people didn't get it straight away, it was still genius.

)

Oh.. my.. god. Lindsey was quite simply- unbelievable. You see the energy from the videos but until you're standing right underneath him for Big Love, etc.. you don't fully understand just how awesome he is. Great interaction with everyone up the front, really appreciated the crowd, think he got 2 mid show standing ovations: Big Love and ISA..
At one stage, think it might have been Gypsy, he leaned over the crowd right between the two mics and about 20 people were given a sweat shower.

Overall, had the best night ever. Best gig I'v ever been to and I don't see anybody topping it soon.. if ever!

Awesome, How early did you go to get to talk to Lindsey's tech?

FANTASTIC SHOW!! I have to say,I had forgotten how good they were since it had been a few years since the SYW tour! Wow,and Lindsey especially is a lot more confident.Everyone was blown away Saturday night.
First time I've met John too,his suite was just down the hall from mine.Such a nice guy,really genuine.
Good to see the pix that people have posted of Sat's show..really captured it well!
