Thank you for getting this. Seeds has so grown on me this past year. I love it so much. Such a perfect way to end the evening. The outro almost makes me cry.

Oh, that puts it in perspective. Too bad it was ISA when things went wrong, since that's often the pinnacle to many people, but at least they got everything else.

Problems can be entertaining, particularly those that end with Lindsey performing push ups to pass the time, followed by Stevie helping him off the ground, stroking his hair and exclaiming, "I had no idea you could do that."

Yeah, I didn't take that into account, that he was part of a line up.

nice to see that LB's solo alone show works just as well in front of 10 000 people as in the small intimate venues -

Lindsey Buckingham Dazzles With Intense Acoustic Show

Posted on September 8, 2012 by Brittany Leona

The CUPE-SCFP main stage of Ottawa's Folk Festival was graced tonight with one of rock's greatest legends: Lindsey Buckingham. One may be tempted to assume that based on his musical career spanning nearly four decades, having released over a dozen albums, being a talented composer, singer and producer, that he would have a larger than life stage presence and the typical rocker attitude to go with it – one would be wrong about the last item mentioned.


From the moment he set foot on stage, Buckingham captivated the crowd, filling the balmy evening air with a thorough mix of works from his solo albums like Cast Away Dreams, Come and Go Insane and hits from Fleetwood Mac to the delight of many (myself included) like Big Love, Bleed to Love Her and Never Going Back Again. Buckingham is a rare find – an artist who, while performing, relives his melodies and lyrics as intensely as the day the material was originally written.

The age range of attendees varied from those who were around during the birth of Buckingham's musical career, to those who were not even a thought at the time. Possessing an ever humbling appreciation for his fans, he thanked the crowd sincerely after each performance and for being part of “this strange experiment” (in reference to his solo act of just himself and a guitar).

Though I was not able to take photographs, this performance has been happily seared into my memory, along with everyone else's who was in attendance I'm sure, as one of the most intense, emotional and fantastic shows seen in a very very long time. Definitely one for the books.

Lindsey Buckingham

Lindsey Buckingham... the power went out on the old Fleetwood Mac song "I'm So Afraid", he decided to play it again at the audiences request as a final Encore, guess what... that's right, the power went out again... okay, I'm afraid!

To say amazing would be an understatement, powerful... so powerful, especially for one man on stage. It's no wonder he blew the power... twice!

Might even have a video clip for you tomorrow... night all!

The Ottawa Folk Festival

Twitter reports live from the Folk Festival are saying that the power cut out during Lindsey's performance of "I'm So Afraid" not once, but a couple times... Mic's weren't working... Amps blew out...THAT can't be good! So Lindsey moved on to "Go Your Own Way", finished the tune then left the stage ending his set as per usual. When he came back he said 'They've assured me this won't happen again" he then moved onto the encores of "Trouble" and "Seeds We Sow" with no issue, then attempted "I'm So Afraid" at the very end once again when for the second time things blew up and the sound cut out. And that's where the show ended... Too bad about I'm So Afraid, but in the end most of the show was performed which is great!

The weather in the area hasn't been the greatest this evening, the rain had apparently held off, but there was lightning overhead during his performance and maybe there was a lightning strike near by, maybe once, maybe twice... Or maybe the humidity was too much... Who knows. In the end... From those who attended, it sounds like he put on an impressive performance!
