The really amazing thing here is that Lindsey's on guitar --- considering he had just had a spinal tap days earlier.

What a fun video! And Lindsey, mmmm, that murky post-Rumours/pre-Tusk period is a yummy period for looking at Lindsey, haha. Chris on the snare is pretty hot itself.

wow I didn't know that about Lindsey Whats the story on that about the spinal tap? And is my connection right when I remember from a long time ago somebody posted Limo convo's in Micks Limo, I remember hearing Christine talk to Mick about somebody having a spinal tap and to not tell the press, was that Lindsey they were talking about?

I think it's at the end of this video when Stevie says, "Lindsey is one strong man," a reference to his back. She rubs his back as they walk off stage and Christine takes the guitar away from him.

I think Lindsey collasped coming out of the shower. They took him to the hospital and in order to diagnose whatever the problem was, they gave him a spinal tap which was botched. He was in excruciating pain. He was able to perform shortly afterwards. The doctor told him to use a stool all night, but he didn't. Then, afterwards they cancelled a few shows and made them up later in the year.

I guess they found out he had epilepsy and he takes medication now. That is the Conversations tape discussion that you hear Mick and Christine having.

John describes what happened below in this Washington Post piece, but I think he was exaggerating a bit.

Quote:

Buckingham, though, was home sick, the result, John McVie said of "almost dying two days ago. Three hours before our Philadelphia concert, Lindsay had a seizure - a mild epileptic thing. It had nothing to do with drugs or anything like that. Anyway, the sound engineer saved his life - pulled his tongue out - and three hours later Lindsay was on stage. After the concert we checked him into the hospital for tests. He's okay now."

Lindsey reminds me a little of Lou Reed in that video.

I agree so much! That's my favourite Lindsey era, he looked hot on the Tusk tour too but a bit too skinny

Does anyone have the whole show. I have some stuff I can trade and will make it worth your while. Thanks

That's a great vid!!! I always liked that song. Too bad they didn't keep it on their set list more often. LB looks good (check out those biceps) but that glittery blouse just kills it for me. It always struck me as strange how deep Stevie's voice is when she speaks, compared to how it sounds when she sings. Christine is as Cool as ever - and looks great!

Hmmmm...IS that actually a snare drum she's playing? There's not a good close up shot of it...there definitely sounds to be a Timbale within the percussion sounds...could THAT be what she's playing?

I hoped one of the musicians on the board would comment on this. What exactly is the difference between a snare and a timbale? And, Chili, how would you critique her drumming technique? (She's so good at hand percussion, why shouldn't she be good at the sticks too?)

YES! You totally nailed it. Albeit, a much more comely version of Lou Reed, but the same "look" as it were. He and John side by side are entirely incongruous. One seems a part of a 70s California Rock band, the other a street urchin in the East Village.

By the way, Christine looks so friggin' fabulous. The novelty of her drumming in that ultra-sheik West Coast outfit is just too much.

It's like Stevie said,

Quote:

"For example, everybody's real interested in the fact that when we walk onstage, Christine is dressed in her trip, and John is wearing cutoffs and a Penguin t-shirt with knickers and vest, looking like Ichabod Crane, and Lindsey's in a suit, and I'm dripping in chiffon. It's weird. All these people look like they're going to a different place. There's no continuity in the five people whatsoever, except the spirit."
