Out Of The Cradle Tour Stories

[michelej1]

Here's an excerpt from a 2006 interview where Lindsey brings the OOTC incident up:

Q: Was it difficult arranging some of your more grandiose Mac songs, like I'm So Afraid, into this intimate setting?

A: I think it's all about the line you follow from Point A to Point B. We build throughout the show and wait until the end to pounce on the audience with the intense songs. It all hangs together very nicely.

Q: So this is quite different from your Out of the Cradle tour in 1992?

A: Oh yeah. That was the Busby Berkeley of rock concerts!

Q: You had about a half-dozen guitarists with you. It was pretty overwhelming.

A: I think the audience was pretty overwhelming, too. They wouldn't stop talking. Didn't I have to tell them to shut up at one point?

Q: There was definitely some tension there.

A: Well, when you have half the people talking over your set you have to wonder, "Why did they bother to come?" But that was then.

Q: You've showed up at Stevie Nicks concerts in the Valley. Is there any chance she'll show up at your show?

A: I would think there's every chance she will (laughs).

Man, I don't even care about the OOTC incident at this point. Lindsey Buckingham gives a terse, to-the-point interview and it isn't archived on this forum for further reference, or even as something of a reminder that the man doesn't just bring up the amazing-family-I'm-blessed-with-at-a-relatively-old-age statement for every other question? This must be documented permanently by all. Wow.

We thought Stevie might be there because it was Phoenix, Arizona. Stevie wasn't touring and she lived about three miles from this venue. She couldda showed up for a song or two. One could hope ya know.
