Glad I got rid of my SF ticket. I am totally sick of this dude. |

I'm a little bit bummed about the backing tracks but I'd still jumpjumpjump at the chance to see him live. I think I'd enjoy the show perfectly while I was there. |

Ego, party of one your stage is ready... ;) |
From what I hear from the clips, he has recorded/compiled a tailormade backingtrack for those rocksongs. I can live with that. I'm more worried about the acoustic setlist. I fear a remake of the last two tour's list..... No real surprises. BTW, I think he sang GYOW pretty poor... But he'll get better along the road...as always...

I won't judge until I actually see it. I hope I can get pics though. It says no cameras or recording devices, but hey, everyone has a cell phone camera & of course, I will take my regular camera with a nice zoom. :D Lee :) |
Why did he stop at playing with pre-recorded guitar and percussion tracks? Heck, he could go out on the road with "Fleetwood Mac," including Christine's pre-recorded vocals and keyboard parts. :rolleyes: I seriously wonder what was the motivation for the "band in a can" tour. Did his accountant ring him up to tell him that he hasn't earned any income in three years and that he needs to finally tour AND make money at the same time?
I can respect and appreciate a totally solo acoustic show. And it would be quite a novelty if he could play live against digital samples of his guitar playing recorded on stage. But this is a bit hard to stomach. It's a bit lazy actually. He had the opportunity to re-present his catalog with new arrangements and instrumentation, but instead has relied on the tried and true "rock show" approach. Cop out. I suppose I shouldn't pass judgment until I've had a chance to witness things firsthand, but the "band in a can" thing is just sooo not cool with me. |

Ok, having just seen both videos, someone get Linds a towel! And get me one, too. :D
I think I'll like the show. Don't know about hubby though. How long does his show last to those who have been? Lee :) |
I'm not really surprised by this in the least. The way Lindsey works in the studio by himself and given the technology...it's almost a no brainer to assume he would have a laptop hooked up with a few rhythm tracks to back him up. He's very rarely a solo performer in the purest sense. It's hard to picture him in a James Taylor sort of performance.
That being said, I do agree that maybe some new arrangements would of been cool. GYOW acoustic would of been cool among other things. So sure, maybe I am a little disappointed if it's going to be last years set list minus a band. I can't blame anyone for being a little disappointed in that. Being the guitar wiz that he is, you would think he would really want the show to be a showcase of his ability and show that ability in broader depth. I was kind of hoping for more of a sit down, intimate, mtv unplugged kind of thing which this isn't looking to be thus far. |

for everybody jumping on the band-in-a-can wagon, did you all actually listen to these clips that are available?!:confused: i may not have the best ear, but some of the comments i'm reading here are completely speculative when they don't need to be, especially in the light of actually having available videos.:shrug: to whoever asked, it is somewhere in the messages above - the show was exactly 90 mins. so i am worried about what other acoustic tracks he had time to play, and am really hoping it's not just ones he did acoustically before. |

Give me a day or two to hear more videos and I'll maybe re-evaluate and end up loving it (and if he made the loops live I'd flip with excitement) but I was just really hoping for a real all acoustic (or, at least, single guitar) tour. |
I hear you perfectly, Peestie, And I know that you can appreciate an electronic fill for an acoustic performance. It's nothing new, by the way, he used prerecordings in all his solotours since 2006, also with the band. I think that is more cheating than doing it solo so that it is obvious. I'd love the loopthought, but that's too risky for a controlfreak...

I still want him to record and release a DVD of this show... I'll not get to see it and a high quality document of it would go down very well with me. |
