I had always wanted to see Lindsay Buckingham in concert, and am so glad I finally had the chance. I've collected his solo work form the beginning and this venue was perfect to display his live talent. Besides being an original and outstanding guitar player, his voice was as good as I could imagine. Loved it, loved it loved it!
His style and sound is absolute. His voice I believe is better suited for hard rock but all in all an enjoyable evening
Awesome mix of old & new songs/hits & deep cuts! Very enthusiastic performance, he put his heart and soul into this concert! He had the crowd on their feet several times! His guitar solo's were amazing and his vocals very emotional. He is one of the best artists of that generation!
One of the best concerts I've been to. The love and passion Lindsey has for his music is evident and awe-inspiring !!! He keeps it real .... Fleetwood Mac is a thing of the past, and he was the best part. (Still love FM, though). I give him an AAAAAA+++++++ for his talent and showmanship, along with his band members.
A nice mix of old hits and songs from his new album - Buckingham did not disappoint. The talented guitarist was joined by his band for some songs and played it solo for the other. It was an unforgettable evening in a very intimate setting.
Both my husband & I truly enjoyed the concert. Lindsey Buckingham is an amazing artist. We can only say it was most wonderful date night. Thank-you Lindsey!
A truly wonderful evening with one of the greatest musicians (storyteller) of our time. Lindsey has never let me down in his ability to make the hair stand up on the back of my neck and to get the audience to it's feet!!
Lindsey Buckingham exudes a true passion for music and sonic experimentation that comes through in his live performances. His recent solo work, including "Under the Skin (2006)", "Gift of Screws (2008)", and his current "Seeds We Sow (2011)" translate brilliantly to a live setting. His frenzied finger picking and strong voice give the music an energy and urgency that is palpable among the audience. Buckingham may be 62, but he is clearly in the midst of a creative renaissance in his life, producing solo albums every 2-3 years, keeping up with Fleetwood Mac, and touring aggressively to promote the work. The songs themselves are carefully crafted with a free experimentalism that allows his to create musical atmospheres for a variety of moods. Combined with his stellar backup band, Buckingham is a must-see live show for rock lovers.
Simply amazing. He's still got it and I hope he considers one more reunion tour with his "big picture."
We saw Lindsey in Denver on September 14, 2011 (though this review probably won't be posted until sometime mid-October... BOO-HISS Ticketmaster!) and we had a thoroughly wonderful evening. The venue felt "small and intimate" - a perfect setting for Lindsey's virtuosity. He started out with several songs with just him and his guitar, and blew us all away. The concert only got better from there. He is a poet, a master musician, and an all-around wonderful human being. The entire set was an excellent mix of old (classic Fleetwood-Mac), recent (from his other solo albums), and new (from Seeds We Sow). If you are at all a fan of Lindsey's music in any "era", do get his new CD. You will not be disappointed. (Hint: He has autographed copies available at the shows... $30). After two hours of performing, he graced us with an encore of 3 more songs. The 2nd one, "Treason", blew me away. It is actually from an earlier solo album, but what got me about it was that, even though there were only guys up there on stage, I swear I heard Stevie's voice in the harmonies... same warble, same pitch & style... it was rather eerie, and delightful at the same time. I love both of them - they were a killer team back in the day. I don't understand why Lindsey isn't listed with the top guitarists, a la Page, Clapton, etc. He's definitely a very gifted individual. Thank you, Lindsey, for an unforgettable evening and sharing your gifts with us.
Excellent show with with an excellent set list. Lindsey started the show solo and brought in his band later which built the excitement. He played all his classic songs and never sounded better vocally. His guitar playing is out of this world The crowd was very enthusiastic and loud. Lindsey was clearly touched and appreciative of their support. He played selections from his new album 'Seeds We Sow' which sounds great.
Lindsey Buckingham's last solo album "Gift of Screws" released in 2008 was a powerhouse record from a man who rarely disappoints in showing artistic growth in his musical endeavors from one project to the next. After seeing this special performance last Friday in Beverly Hills in which LB debuted six new songs from his soon to be released project, "Seeds We Sow," I can safely say Lindsey's creative track record remains in tact. He is reaching new heights with this latest outing of new tunes. Fans who packed the Saban Theater were treated to a sneak preview of his most intimate and powerful music to date. My first impression hearing the new songs is that the coming cd builds significantly on lyrical themes and musical structures explored in each of his previous solo albums, beginning with the most recent works, while scaling new heights in reaching back to yesteryear. In short, the man has finally perfected a formula he's has always excelled at since the beginning of his music career...less is more. There was a kind of simplicity to the new songs that took nothing away from their powerful impact on the heads and hearts of everyone in attendance. Due to Lindsey's charismatic stage presence I have to admit I was mesmerized during the show to the point I forgot each new song the minute I heard another new one. But while making the long drive home I quickly remembered how the impact of each new song hit me hard on first listen. Across the next six hours on the road, I couldn't get the chorus of one tune out of my mind. It went something like, "the stars are crazy." Live in the theater it sounded stunning. I can already imagine how beautiful this song will sound on the cd with full production values. I was so moved by it during the show I couldn't keep tears from flowing. The same waterworks spilled out of me at the end of another new tune...one I still haven't gotten out of my head a week later. I believe it's called, "End of Time." I've deemed those songs a "one, two, knockout punch." All the new material was stellar. My only criticism of this show was keeping the standard filler we've seen enough of on previous solo and Mac outings: Big Love, GYOW, Tusk, Trouble. I was glad he did 2 songs from "Under the Skin" including the title track. I wish he had not totally ignored his last cd, "GOS," but all was forgiven once he gave us an encore. THANK YOU, LINDSEY, FOR DOING "TURN IT ON!" my favorite song from 1992's "Out of the Cradle." It’s my favorite song of all time. If you only knew how it changed the life of one desperate young man who’d all but given up on life last year. That song helped him back on his feet after I gave him OOTC and told him to listen to that song in particular before throwing in the towel at the age of 27. He’s doing so well now, and he accompanied me to this show one year later as a newly baptized fan of the man. Knowing how deeply personal Lindsey’s music is, it suddenly occurs to me the tears I shed during the song, “End of Time,” came out of me when I heard him sing the words: “it’s the end of time…can you feel it?” Well, yes. I did feel it. I hope it’s not true.
The evening began with Lindsey on guitar on the stage alone. After a 25 to 30 minute set of old material followed by new songs. His band mates then joined him on stage for an hour of music and sharing. The set was again a mixture of old and new songs. The set demonstrated Lindsey's ability to be powerful whether the songs were uptempo or quiet and introspective. The encore included two songs with the band and concluded with Lindsey alone on the stage again singing Seeds We Sow, the title also of the new project he is concluding.
Lindsey Buckingham gave his usual 110%, his interaction with the crowd was great, the Saban Theatre was awesome. We were upgraded to Row E by a kind usher.
What a wonderful night. I was in the upper balcony and the sound was great. I could hear everything, even the quiet stuff. The intimate setting was a treat for me. I have been a fan for a long time and never have seen him live before. I really enjoyed the evening.
This show was just as it was described: an intimate evening with Lindsey Buckingham. This was Buckingham's only appearance, a filmed show for his upcoming "Seeds We Sow" album that's to be released in September. The new songs were great and the old ones (of course) even better. When he tours in the fall, after the new album is released, don't miss the chance to see this show!
I am so excited I was able to see Lindsey Buckingham in such an amazing setting, the seats were perfect not to mention for an amazing price!!!! I would see him again in a heartbeat, and also return to the Saban theatre again!!!!
This was a "can't miss" event! His new songs sound beautiful. Can't wait for the CD, DVD and tour in September!
I have been a huge fan of Lindsey Buckingham ever since his days with Fleetwood Mac, and he definitely sounded better than ever! I had some very high expectations for this concert, and he went way above and beyond all my expectations! Of course, we all went wild when he sang some of his greatest hits from Fleetwood Mac. It was such a treat for me to see this legend live in concert. He also sang a lot of his new material, which was awesome. He really does have some great new songs. Overall, it was one of the most memorable evenings for me -- I had such a great time. I highly recommend you taking the opportunity to go see Lindsey Buckingham live in concert. I am so looking forward to seeing him again!
Amazing performance. Lindsey Buckingham performed as if he was a 21 year old musician with unlimited energy, passion and excellence. The performance was nothing short of amazing.
