Seeing Lindsey In Portland tonight!

I'm seeing Lindsey tonight! This is the second time he's come to Portland, OR on his current tour. Tonight he is appearing at the Aladdin Theater, a small old vaudville venue with a balcony in the back. It's a great place to see any show there. Any other Ledgies attending this show?

Have fun!!

I'm kinda kicking myself for not going back out to Vancouver to see him again.

Skipping this one- saw the November show at Newmark. Hope you have a good time.

Yeah, I saw him at the Newmark too. Even though it will likely be the same show, with an exception or two, I figured "what the hell?" It's not a big hassle getting to the venue, which is also more fun to see a show at than the Newmark.

Plus I'd regret not seeing any member of Fleetwood Mac who happens to pass through Portland. I'm going with someone who's a Lindsey neophyte, so it will be interesting to see my friend's reaction.

I saw him in November of 06 then he came back in March of 07 and really it was almost a completely different show. The band was so much tighter. To anyone, Id reccomend seeing him if he comes back!

You're absolutely right. He mixed the set list up and added new stuff (Turn It On), so it felt like a different show (are you reading this Stevie?). Also the band did seem tighter. The main difference is that the percussionist/drummer - who made small contributions early in the tour - is now a more dominent player in the band, giving the arrangements a little more kick.
