"Show You How" Video Posted on lindseybuckingham.com

New video posted for "Show You How." The fast-moving pace reminds me of the "Countdown" video. Toward the middle/end, there are quick snippets of what appear to be the Tusk/FM Live tour photo shoot, a collage of old family photos and a photo of Lindsy with John and Mick (beard/afro era). As Lindsey notes, he is a "stylist" but I wonder how much influence his wife has on the video production. I also wonder if she took the photos for the new CD. I guess we will find out shortly.

What a huge surprise. After the SYW experience I would never have thought, that there might be a video for UTS. I wonder if and when where it gets airplay. Great a video and a single release is tried this time. Then there is a good chance for a second clip for DOR as this is supposed to be the second single.
On a side note Lindsey looks a bit suicidal during the clip. I had liked him to appear a little more during the video but hey- better than nothing!

I like it, particularly the fact that there's no lipsynching. Although I think the references in the "let the past be the past" bit (the photo of John, Mick and Lindsey) and the "find your other half" bit (Stevie's eyes!) were too obvious. If the theme of the album is the undervalued visionary escaping from the past again, does he really have to rub it in so hard?

Someone's going to get some great screencaps from those photos at the end, provided that they can hit the pause button fast enough! :lol:

Thanks for the notice! I had a great time watching it. :)
I just loved it, it's an awesome gift to his fans, and I felt more excited than ever about the new album..
It made me laugh histerically... loved the sick sense of humor that flows through it, and the will and inspiration to do something different and personal, provocative and exciting... but hey, I'm a fan :laugh:
And I also thought that, definitely, this is an indie album. It's an "author" work of art, I don't think this video would pass the "minimum quality level" of the MTV filters for example. It's almost a home video!
In my opinion, by the way, the central problem of Mr. Buckingham, is this indie approach inside a major label. I think his natural place as a solo artist with a work like this would be a decent indie label, or simply self-editing, as others have said in the past. This is how sad this business runs nowadays. But that's another subject..

cheers,
Héctor

I like it. Hey Lindsey made a video, I think that is awesome. I don't think I can believe it. It does remind me of the Big Love video going through the halls in the house real fast. What was with the two pills on the tray?

I tried, but you can't capture streaming video in WMP or QT. Bummer! If you hit pause fast enough you get some nice images though. Lots of FM footage I had never seen before. And cute pics of Lindsey when he was a kid. :D

Well that was interesting and a nice surprise!!.. I like it.. Not blown away, but I like! I too would have liked to have seen more of him in it maybe noodling around in the studio a little more, but the frenetic pace of the video is fitting for the song for sure.

A video for Down On Rodeo - never would have even pretended to imagine such a thing. Here's hoping!

I would greatly appreciate someone embedding the actual video in this thread so that you see the beginning pic of it and then click on the big arrow as that seems to be the only way I can run anything on You Tube -- THANKS!!!!

New technology, who'da thunkit? :lol:

Anyway, good to see images of his two families, but I think I did see an image of the third one (Lindsey walking with one of his kids) somewhere in there. There's about a hundred more images I missed anyway so fire away when you can. :)

about dial up (The audio played but not the video).

Hopefully LB will be appearring on a VH1 Classics episode of "Hanging With" this month, that way I'll be able to see the video and have it on DVD-R.

Yeah, you two rule!

I LOVE the clip. Today I wrote an article on the narrative aspects of using photographs,video and sound in reconstructing lifestories for selfexploration and reflection.

And then this clip of my hero surfaces.

Isn't that incredible?

Wow, the video is so indie and FAST!! THanks so much for the screen caps!!!

Is that really Stevie's eyes at the line where it says "you find your other half?" I think someone mentioned that above. But they don't look like her eyes ... I only watched once and it was so fast, so I am not really sure anyway!

xxxmx

10-01-2006 05:37 PM

definitely not stevie's eyes. it's a mirror image of the side of his face. i screencapped it but don't really feel like editing it and hosting it and posting it.

i don't hate the video but i can't see it getting much play.

Awesome!!

That was so wierd with him in the studio. It feels like we are watching him on a webcam. Freaky! That smirk he does....EEEEEE!!!! CUTE!!! LOL Thanks for the screencaps!! Those are adorable.

10-02-2006 01:20 AM

Yeah. I didn't think they were Stevie's eyes either. I agree that they're Lindsey's. I guess he's his own other half. lol

Thanks for these captures - I love the old photos!

At the risk of getting blasted, though, I found the video awful. Webcam Lindsey - yikes. I find it hard to believe that was what he was going for, but that's what he got. It's so amateurish. It looks almost lazy. "Let's zoom up and down the soundboard, up and down the hall, up and down the road. Then we'll throw in a quick slideshow of old pics, and mix in Lindsey sitting there staring at nothing and looking 'angsty.' Repeat. Repeat. Repeat." Now, perhaps it was a "artistic choice" to make it look completely unprofessional and slapped together. A "screw you" to people who expect quality videos. If so, mission accomplished!

If you have problems viewing the video, try closing the Lindsey page and let your media player run. It's probably too much downloading with the background song from the page and downloading the video both at the same time.

This video definitely reminds me of Lindsey's past work. Dare I say, it's almost migraine inducing. I :lol: at the part where it showed him looking all wrung out. He had probably been up recording for 27 hours straight. The old time family photos are a nice touch too, very personal. I really like the ending of this song, for some reason. Can't wait to get my hands on the CD.

I think Lindsey's going for the reflective and stripped down associative communication. That's how he talks about the music too. The music however, is alot more produced than the video. I personally hoped that he would have let that as raw as the vid is.....

Actually...I really like this video. You may all think it's a bit amateur but if you take it in context with the words and the pace of the song, it's really quite cool.Yeah it's a bit hard on the eyes ( I have four in this case , so it's even worse) and to be honest, I would have liked to have seen a smile from our guy (he looks knackered if you ask me!) but that aside, it's all about how fast paced life is, how we all live in the rat race (it's probably worse in LA, lets face it all that heady FM stuff etc), how life just passes you by in a flash, a blur, and yet he's saying that his "other half" (his own self/ Mrs B) can show you how to slow down, go back to basics (ie showing the baby photos, family) and finally going back to nature and the trees at the end, thats what it's all about.
I think, it's a clever video, a little glimpse into his world maybe, personally made by him, perhaps. I even quite like the song. Maybe next time Linds if your'e watching this space, we could have a happy video (assuming you are of course) and one that we can drool over :xoxo:
Nice to see you onscreen again:]

It does remind a bit of big love and countdown indeed , although must admit that i prefer both those video's.
the smirk he does and the old pic's collage are nice though and it is nice to have a video anyhow

Symbolic of overcoming those walls, closed doors, finally finding his way to the "light". blah blah. I am not a fan of the homemade quality and the soundboard shots of him "reflecting" are weird, IMHO. I do like the theme though.

Yes, I know the sort of video you mean, your Christine/Britney type thing, seen them..boring.
hey maybe Linds could do a RP on us with his next cd (the rocking one)!!

i just watched it because i didn't want to spoil my lindsey day experience. the video is alright. i like it, but i'm not like, "wow that was hugely impressive!" obviously it's better than most of the videos that are out now.. but i guess it just takes a lot in a video to impress me anymore. here, it just doesn't look like they've tried very hard. that's understandable.. it's not like lindsey's market is on the video channels, so i'm sure it's just not a priority.

anyway, he looks totally baked in the face shots where he's just sitting there looking at the camera. those are the best parts.
