Absolutely! If he comes to Toronto.

I've never been there, but I remember seeing adverts for it in the Village Voice back when it was the Westbury Music Fair. Linda Ronstadt played there not too long ago, and I will regret to my dying day that I didn't go see her (since I hear that her health has deteriorated

). Does it still have a stage "in the round" that revolves slowly throughout the show? I once saw a concert like this (Yes), and I thought it was a hoot, if not stomach-churning.

It's called the NYCB Theater at Westbury now, and do not ask me what NYCB stands for, it's some bank.

I think it does, but when I saw that show there, it was a half-stage with a curtain closing part of it since it wasn't a rotating stage. All I know is that if I wanna see somebody at a venue that isn't the Garden, Jones Beach, or the Coliseum, it's not gonna be there anytime soon.

Lindsey DID play it last time round (maybe the second leg of his tour? I can't quite remember). It wasn't that bad a venue. They actually put up curtains or barriers or something, if I recall correctly, to make it smaller for him (obviously, not a sell-out performance). So, it was more of a half-round. This was the one where he smashed his guitar (the only lowlight for me but...I think a lot of people got a kick out of it).
Uh...oh, yeah. I don't mind the theater. I hate traveling to Long Island. It's such a pain in the butt for me, with connections to trains and all that jazz that, most of the time, it's easier to go to another state.
But, yeah. If he's on the east coast, I'll be there.

Regina, where are you from? I from LI myself, and to get to Manhattan, I just hop on the LIRR at Ronkonkoma and take it from there. For other places, it's all about driving (and not mixing up major roads when you and your now-former boyfriend wanted to spend an evening at Jones Beach, and if you wanna know about it PM me), but if you're not from there, I can understand you hating the driving around there (crazy people, lights that seem to wanna make you late, crazy people, confusing roads, and I almost forgot, crazy people

)

BTW, does a vid exist of Lindsey smashing his guitar? Why did he smash his guitar?

I'm with you - would LOVE to see LB solo. My challenge is to convince hubby to fly across the pond with me as I doubt LB will solo in UK. Fortunately hubby does love FM - we saw them in Manchester during their UK leg of Unleashed. However although he does like LB (he plays his albums in the car as well as the FM ones), I am the real Bucky Nut. How I envy all you Bucky Nuts who live in the USA - so much easier for you to see him solo!

I'm there, if he is in concert! I have seen him solo twice from the front row. I don't know if he can top that, but I will sure let him try!

Twice??! I hope you don't mind me asking, but what's the trick to that...seriosly. Were you actually seated in the front row, or did you work your way up front? I need to know for when I see him in 2011

Any advice from those that have been before would be greatly appreciated! Also, does anyone know how early he arrives before a show? I'd love to meet him, as I've seen some have done in the past.

It is really a combination of luck and money. I started looking immediately as soon as I knew he was coming to Nashville and Knoxville. Then, I looked on every tickets site, and when I found them I coughed up the money.

I saw them in Manchester too! Was a great gig. Ooo! if you do fly across the pond to see him, can you pick me up on the way and take me with you lol?

Just glossing over this thread... first of all, no way in hell is Lindsey playing Westbury Music Fair. It would be cool if Lindsey played Long Island- hell, I'd consider flying in for a gig in Amagansett, NY at Stephen's Talkhouse (Dave Mason plays there a ton). I think there's a smaller theater-like venue at SUNY Stony Brook that he could hit if he played Long Island, but I'm inclined to think he'd skip LI altogether.

CreepingDeath · #39 12-06-2010, 02:31 AM

Maybe if he comes to Las Vegas. I won't travel, though.

Westbury Music Fair is now called the NYCB Theater at Westbury, but either way, I'd be thankful if he didn't play there. As for playing in Amagansett, you'll get the rich people from the Hamptons, but most of us don't really wanna travel out that far on narrow roads to see Bucky.

As for Stony Brook (no one calls it SUNY Stony Brook, we all call it Stony Brook University), there is the Staller Center and it has a very big theater, but I doubt he'd play there.

I'd just be thankful if he played at whatever became of the Nokia Theater (I heard on the radio once it's now the Best Buy Theater) or maybe even the Beacon.

Planning on travelling to Las Vegas in 2011 - we are just holding off making reservations at the moment and waiting to see if Bucky plays there. It would be great if we could combine our holiday with seeing an LB gig. Please, Lindsey, come out with some dates soon and make one of them LV !

Ah, I hope he plays here just so you can see him. *fingers crossed*

Maybe we could link up as well.

If somebody pays for my ticket (both concert AND airfare), I'll go see him, cuz I can't afford to go otherwise.
