At the much smaller venues I usually go to, the same problem applies. If people are talking loudly, they're not just being rude to the other patrons, they're being rude to the performers. This is one of the reasons I like folk, acoustic, and Americana -- those audiences pay attention. I have the same quibble with people at sporting events. If you're going to drink so many beers you're passed out in your seat by the end of the game, why not just go to a sports bar and "watch" the game on the telly?

Largo in LA has a no talking policy.
I've seen them remove people for talking during shows. And I've seen Rickie Lee Jones stop a song midway thru because of talkers. Unfortunately it's rare to not have drunk talkers at FM shows. |

It's totally different in my country. We're so grateful they come here and play for us that some fans even stay for days outside the arena on the line to wait for the doors to open. Crazy, I know!

I do agree that "Carnival Begin" would have been a great addition. I might have dropped "Feel About You," which I think is an okay, not great song, and the night I heard it, Lindsey's vocals overpowered Chris on this song. The one change to the set list that I would really have liked would be to drop "Shut Us Down." I didn't see the point in playing a Lindsey solo deep cut. They should have played either a Christine solo song (maybe "Got a Hold On Me"), a Christine early (pre-Lindsey) FM song (like "Spare Me a Little"), or simply kept the acoustic set to three songs, thus opening up one slot for another BuckVie song later in the set.

Yes! Thank you! I also don't understand why people pay a good amount of money for a ticket to just stay in their seats texting and talking to their friends. It's disrespectful to the perfomers, ESPECIALLY when they're looking at you! I feel so ashamed. I could never do that.

Well, they weren't linebackers!
FWIW, I would have said something to linebackers, too. But I probably would've worded it much nicer! A few "pleases", and maybe a "please don't kill me", too!

These are just my personal knee jerk reactions. I like Wish You Were Here, it's just not a "stunner" like Brown Eyes. And Shut Us Down, for me, is one of the most powerful Buckingham songs ever recorded. So it feels right to have at the top of the set. I get the keyboard filler parts at this show, but it felt unnecessary against the spare solo guitar. Yes on Spare Me a Little! |

I agree with the previous poster that the first 3 songs being Lindsey-focused are disproportionate and rather disrespectful to Christine's "body of work". Granted he may feel like he's more of a proven headliner (which is true) but it's a tedious choice for the opening of a set defined by BuckVie collabs past and present.

One of the amazing things I loved so much about the show was how the crowd was giving huge applause and some people standing for the new music!!
That really had the two of them all juiced up. I'm still buzzing from how good that show was.

Christine is more shy, but she was equally surprised and I think that's why she stop near us before leaving the stage.

Are Christine's eyes really radiant like emeralds? Will I be Hypnotized?!

I noticed in London on the OWTS tour. When I got near to the stage, the thing that struck me most was the brightness in Christine and Stevie's eyes - shining bright like sparkling diamonds..... Very beautiful... |
