Grammy museum BuckVie q&a Oct 11 (sold out)
 

Surprised nobody started a thread on this - it showed up yesterday and sold out within 5 minutes on presale today. Not sure whether they'll be offering additional tickets during regular onsale or they're all gone.

Not following the original topic per-se (sorry Elle), but...

With regards to Grammy's in general, I must confess I'm a bit ignorant...

• when are nominees announced?
• are Buckingham and McVie realistically viable for any awards?
• are they eligible for a 'Best newcomer award'?

tar

Haha love it!

I'd be surprised if they were viable for any of those awards... unless Grammys would measure UK success ;)

Yes, I know its pushing the boat out... but technically I'm sure they'd be eligible as a new act, wouldn't they?

A CONVERSATION WITH LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM AND CHRISTINE MCVIE

Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Google+Share to Email
Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie are two links of the figurative chain that once made up one of the most popular bands of the ’70s, Fleetwood Mac. Though the two have been making music together off and on for nearly half a century, it didn’t occur to them until recently to begin making music as a duo. Their recent collaboration turned out to be a success, leading to their first self-titled album, which became available to the public, June 9, and began their North American tour June 21. Buckingham and McVie, who have shared a mutual respect and admiration for each other since their days in Fleetwood Mac, decided it was time to combine their individual musical talents. The album is already receiving rave reviews from Rolling Stone and Variety, among others. The album features classic Fleetwood Mac tones, while also showing fans a fresh side of these two artists. Much of the album was recorded at The Village Studios in Los Angeles, the same recording studio wherein Fleetwood Mac recorded several albums. Drawing on their classic style while exploring fresh new sounds, Buckingham and McVie created a unique album, in a way paying homage to their musical beginnings, some 40 years ago. Before they head back out on tour on Oct. 14 for another 22 shows as part of their successful tour in support of the new album, the GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie to the Clive Davis Theater for an intimate conversation about their collaboration and distinguished careers. The evening will also feature a special screening of a short documentary on the making of the album, and will be hosted by Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum, Scott Goldman.

A beefed out version of the 'Making the album' promo?

This is so exciting. It almost makes me want to dress as a Stevie impersonator and fight my way on stage, only to be tackled by security, and dragged to jail. Now THAT would be a night to remember.
In fact I believe every one of their gigs should have such a surprising event. When you least expect it.....oh lord...here she comes (again) :eek:

Hope everyone here on The Ledge is doing well. "it's been a longgggg time"

I'll bail you out!!!!!


Be screaming, "but Lindsey really loves meeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!" as they drag you away!:wavey:

Will they seriously enforce "no cameras allowed" because it would be too bad if no video was allowed to be taken. Someone will go rogue, I hope.

What are the odds that the Grammys people will record and upload this online?

i hope they don't because i'm counting on everyone that will be going to give us some footage!

however i was recently at the show for a newer band where they locked everyone's phones in Yondr boxes at the entrance to the venue and there was no way to use them. hope that doesn't happen here! i have to say that at that show they didn't search bags too thoroughly so if you had a small camera and were really stealth with it theoretically there was a chance to use it... i think.

oh and welcome - good to see you here!! :wavey:

Thank you, Elle. It's good to be here, especially for the 2nd leg of the tour coming up.

Thanks for the Grammy Museum info, Elle
 

Hi Elle,

Thank you so much For the Grammy museum info! How did you find out? I'm frustrated---I have google alerts for Lindsey, Fleetwood Mac, and Stevie and nothing came up in advance. I'm hopeful that some tix will be available for Non-pre-sale, though! :)

Yes it seems really hard to find. A friend posted in our LB Facebook group (its public and I think you are a part of it - Real Savage Like forum).

Good luck I hope you manage to get some tix, maybe on general onsale!

Stevie did one of these in 2011 that I went to and they were pretty strict about the cameras. The theater is tiny and there will be people watching for people recording. However, they do archive video of these events. They are sometimes available later online, but they are always available at the Grammy Museum in their archive section to watch.

Have fun.

Jamie

Thwarted again for LB & CM at Grammy museum
 

Hi Elle and All:

So bummed, I had a couple of screens open,got in the waiting room 4 minutes prior, and then no tickets available! Maybe I'll have luck with resellers or I'll just go downtown that day and see if people are trying to get rid of their tix.

Thanks for the reminder of the LB Facebook group-I'm not on Facebook that much, but hearing news like that first is a good impetus to be on there!

Best to everyone,
Amy

did anyone else notice this sentence?

it doesn't say they are two links of the chain that MAKES UP FM, it says they are two links of the chain that ONCE MADE UP..... past tense... the band

the links that USED TO make up FM rather than the links that DO make up FM

Now, maybe whoever wrote this didn't realize what they wrote, or didn't think it through. But then again,

People are stupid. They probably weren't certain that Christine had come back or something.

If in doubt, just reread my first three words. Lord I had a day today, with my mind competely boggled by how stupid they actually are. I'm amazed some people are able to continue breathing without life support.

still looking for audio - i know there must be at least one floating around. hopefully the museum will post the video/audio.

I attended and it was amazing to be in the presence of greatness.

There wasn't much new of anything said. Lindsey took a few indirect jabs at Stevie. He basically said he couldn't imagine being an artist and not wanting to write or be creative. He then said (in a round about Lindsey way) it's lucky for a band like Fleetwood Mac that the fans are ok constantly hearing the live hits and having 3 generations that expect to hear those hits. When asked what it was like to do BuckVie and then go to Dodgers' Stadium, he stated, "It's a mind****." He clearly would rather do the BuckVie shows and not FMac.

Christine was her usual funny, clever, gorgeous and slender self. She wore her brown snake skin leather with her light blue jeans, beautiful red scarf, and the white shoes.
The woman has legs for days.

She again forgot she toured solo in 1984 and was able to experience the intimate theaters across the USA. She's so humble, almost to a fault. Lindsey gave her a lot of props and the moderator did as well. Going from blues to adjusting her music to Bob Welch and then LB/SN era. When asked how her music changed as a songwriter over all those years. Christine: I don't think about it. I just write for the album. (I'm paraphrasing)

They joked about the Christine songs that FM attempted as a 4 piece. He remembered Don't Stop. But then, when a few people shouted out, Say You Love Me... Lindsey said, "No we didn't" (to the crowd) And a few people said, "oh yes you did." And Christine laughed. So Lindsey obviously blocked out that horrible moment when Stevie tried to sing both songs. He started trying to sing it on stage in his chair and then just stopped and Christine watched him with a smirk.

This event was so much fun. The genuine bond between Christine and Lindsey is so strong and really very sweet. There's absolutely no acting or faking that I see in any of it. It's just beautiful.

They are beautiful together, and all that phony CRAP is missing, like he portrays with OGB. You can tell that they love and respect each other, and truly are enjoying this partnership.

I'm jealous that you got to go, but it's only 16 days until my next show! :blob2::blob2::blob2:

Christine said Fleetwood Mac is a Carnival.

I didn't think carnivals had farm animals...:]

LOL.. you are too much. But, that was good... :laugh:

Do carnivals have "one of the premiere song writers in the world"? According to the queen that's what Tom Petty told her she is. LOL If I were recounting that story to someone I would have said "he told me I'm a good songwriter, go write your own song" BUT NOT her!:laugh::laugh:

Why everything always has to be about her? Instead of talking about her longtime friend she turned a sweet story with a nice advice into a self-glorification of her songwriter career. :shrug:

Too bad she didn't tell that story of Tom wanting Lindsey to join The Heartbreakers during the 90's... I'm sure she blocked that story. :lol:

I'm in the minority, but I loved that 4 piece version of Say You Love Me. Lindsey's guitar was spot on.

Because most of her fans are just like her. Self absorbed.


And btw, I've really missed your presence here lately. :xoxo:

Jesus, coming on here is so frustrating anymore. How is it that no matter what the thread is about it almost always ends up going off on some wild tangent with a bunch of you just bashing Stevie?! (and usually bashing her about something totally unrelated to the actual thread topic.... i.e. this thread)
It's no wonder The Ledge has gotten the reputation all over social media that it has. What a shame. :rolleyes:

LOL yes, you and me!!! :)

And btw LINDSEY ruined that song (not stevie!). I had actually said that on the way there to Ally lol. Then laughed about the fact that he blocked it out... god I wish I could too!!

Girl, you don't have time for this. It's time for you to get to you 100th BuckVie show. :laugh:

Hahaha that's tomorrow!! I clearly need a nap right now though! :laugh:

I've run into you at the Las Vegas show and now the Grammy Museum (at 3pm for a 8pm event). . You are one dedicated fan. You can scold us anytime. We actually love the abuse. :wavey:

I would have enjoyed reading more about this Q&A but I can't get past the bull**** comments about Stevie, especially the completely off-topic one re: Tom Petty. The obsessed people are not the Stevie fans, they are the handful of misogynist old crows who can't seem to get through their day without their backslapping posts. Probably have to post before even getting through their first dump of the day.

I'm out of this pathetic message board.

Well, back on topic before everyone blows a gasket.

Personally, I love a place where people are honest. Even if I don't agree. OMG you don't like McVie or Nicks or Buck?? ... and the walls came tumbling down....

Anyway,

It was a wonderful night. Sat next to my best friend and Haleyd (Haleyd is as obsessed as I am about these people so it's pure fun)

We had a blast talking Mac with our mutual friend Ally. It was fun figuring out the different things we liked about the band. Hanging out with these guys was so endearing and I hope we get to do it again. That was a pure Fleetwood Mac Treat. A plate of Buck w/ a side of sarcastic McVie.

Message for the owner of this **** message board below. Tried emailing but inbox was full.

That's some **** message board you run. Allowing a couple of misogynist men to dominate every discussion on the rumours section with their crass personal attacks on Stevie. She's a legendary vital part of the rumours era band and you sit there while a couple of assholes **** all over her every day no matter what the topic. You should be ashamed of yourself for not understanding the difference between allowing freedom of speech and honoring the band you've built a message board around. No wonder there are only like 10 people who are active on a board for one of the greatest bands of all time. What the **** are you thinking?

I think Seven Wonders is the board that you're looking for. If anyone said anything negative about Stevie(on that board), they were barred from the board(and no, I was never barred...I was actually asked to be a moderator).

Oh, but wait, it went under several years ago.

You know, not everyone in life is going to agree with you. There are people out there who don't like Stevie, just as there are people who don't like any certain member of the band(John's a republican!!!). So what? Who cares? Varying opinions are what make life interesting.

Please God let me die before I become some toothless old man sitting on a crapper trying to think of clever ways of calling a woman a cow without actually saying it so people don't realize I'm a hideous sexist pig. And please God let me die before I become someone who actually thinks Fleetwood Mac is still an actual band and therefore should spend every waking hour posting on a message board being all butt hurt that Stevie Nicks doesn't want to add some tracks to an album she doesn't give a **** about because she's almost 70 years old and she wants to do whatever she wants.

I think that maybe that ship has already sailed for you! :xoxo:
