It was definitely RAB. The guy next to me shouted it out at the stage. Lindsey looked down and said something about not getting that down yet and I yelled out, play a little bit and then did the little bit thing with my fingers and then he played maybe 3 seconds of it.

I had an amazing time! My first Lindsey solo show and will absolutely not be the last. I don't know how he does it. He seems more energized at the end of the show than the beginning. LIke Buddy said, he was really feeding off the crowd and I do wish that there was more of an attempt to stand during the songs, not just after.

I knew Lindsey was one who sweat during a show, but man, he could bottle that stuff and sell it. Why does he insist on wearing a leather jacket when his shirt is soaked and I mean soaked. At one point he leaned over me and I will admit I was the slightest bit skiived...but that moment passed once again realized i was inches away from this guitar god.

Oh....did anyone notice that he completely flubbed the lyrics to Stars? I was so dissapointed cause that was one of the songs I was looking forward to hearing live cause I enjoy it live much better than the recorded version. He keep repeating the eyes/prize verse and I don't think he ever said the analyze/apologize verse. I was a tad dissapointed. I turned to my friend and said, I think he just pulled a Stevie.

And I noticed him looking down at the lyrics for Turn in On. I thought it was cute how he was trying to not be so obvious.

I took a few pics with my phone but nothing worth sharing. HOpefully others will surface. And I agree security seemed nonexistent...at least to me.

Anyway, I had a great night with one of my best friends and both ledgies I met for the first time tonight and those who already feel like good old friends. Hope we get to do it all again soon!

Yeah, what is that? Wear it to open the show and then take it off after the first number. He must just like to sweat.

Or perhaps he's self-conscious about wearing just the t-shirt and jeans nowadays? I didn't pay close enough attention, but is his shirt short enough that when he lifts his guitar he shows a little flesh? Maybe he's not as comfortable doing that, who knows...he's in great shape anyway, though maybe not quite as skinny-skinny as he's often been.

Yeah, in the past I've gotten a look at his tummy when he raised the guitar over his head.

i think he must have already lost some weight since the tour started - he looked really skinny yesterday - he's such a tiny lithe guy, and looks soooo large radiating music and energy up there on the stage!

The whole time I kept thinking about him rubbing his sweat all over Stevie during Sara throughout the Unleashed tour. I know we've mentioned it before but seriously, now I really have to wonder what bet she lost for that.

yes, i'd say it's definitely the venue policy and not lindsey's. venues just blame it on him - b/c why would he have a completely opposite policy every single night? in westhampton, nobody was allowed to film, they immediately stopped whoever tried. in ridgefield, i felt like many people didn't have cameras (maybe they heard about this policy venues blamed on LB?), but there were still many many people filming and taking photos.

But I've also seen other people in venues where Lindsey has played (like the Arlington in Santa Barbara) where you could take pictures feely, but when Lindsey was the performer you couldn't.

don't know. just find it weird... maybe he's flip-flopping kind of guy and can't make up his mind? i still think it's the venue, and they may just ask him to sign something one way or the other before the show, and he might not think about it much and doesn't care so he signs whatever they give him? and some others might care more so they insist one way or the other...
