Lindsey Buckingham, "Live at The Bass Performance Hall," (Reprise) 4 stars.
Somehow Lindsey Buckingham managed to do the impossible, which was to be generally underrated while playing in one of the most popular bands in the world. That band, Fleetwood Mac, put Buckingham on the map, but it's his far-too-infrequent solo endeavors that have featured some of the best music of his life. The incredibly gifted guitarist, songwriter and singer is spotlighted on this, his first live solo DVD, which was filmed in Fort Worth, Texas, during his first U.S. solo tour in nearly 14 years. As one might expect, the musicianship is impeccable, with Buckingham fronting an understated three-piece ensemble while spinning through 17 songs from his solo career as well as from his days with Fleetwood Mac. Six songs are from his latest solo disc "Under the Skin," including quiet standouts like "Not Too Late," and the shimmering, harmony-backed full-band workout "Castaway Dreams." He also offers some intriguing reinterpretations of his own vintage work, like the decidedly-different versions of "Go Insane," and Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk," and "Go Your Own Way." In addition, he shows his passionate vocal style and stunning acoustic guitar work in a torrid take of "Big Love," while blazing away with equal intensity of several electric numbers, such as "So Afraid," which starts mildly before building toward an explosive ending. Rating Scale: One Star (poor) to Five Stars (a classic) http://blog.masslive.com/playback/20...t_the_fun.html

4 stars. not bad, especially given the fact that the singing on GYOW is so poor. The guitarwork is killing, but the choice for the lower register didn't help this performance. Even the one with the american idoll was way much better.

Buckingham goes his own way in fine form
http://www.star-telegram.com/408/story/546088.html By ANDREW MARTON Star-Telegram Staff Writer Watching Lindsey Buckingham's first solo concert DVD, Live at the Bass Performance Hall, you reach the conclusion that the essence of his former band Fleetwood Mac was not Stevie Nicks' witchy-woman stylings, Christine McVie's blues-tinged singing, or even the granite back-beat of drummer, Mick Fleetwood and bassist, John McVie, but Buckingham's pioneering guitar work. Released today, this concert DVD offers all 16 songs from Buckingham's Jan. 27, 2007 performance at Bass Hall, the Fort Worth stop on the guitarist-singer-songwriter's first extended U.S. solo tour in almost 14 years. Whether on a nylon-string classical guitar, a steel-string acoustic or his trademark acoustic-electric guitar, Buckingham eschews the standard pick in favor of all five fingers of his right hand. There are close-ups of Buckingham's hands as they nimbly perform his distinctive guitar calisthenics. All this intricate guitar work cocoons Buckingham's equally original vocals. Whether it's on the six cuts from the 2006 CD, Under the Skin, or songs dredged from his early solo period (the country-shuffle Holiday Road, Go Insane, Trouble) or, even further back, from the Fleetwood Mac catalog (Second Hand News,I'm So Afraid, Go Your Own Way, and Tusk), Buckingham's voice is in fine form. As he moves from barely whispered verses to primal-scream choruses, you are reminded of how enigmatic and avant-garde he remains. Hardly a Mr. Entertainment when it comes to amiable stage patter, Buckingham, helped by his backing trio, hits the concert's high points with the protracted guitar jams at the end of Fleetwood Mac's I'm So Afraid and Go Your Own Way. On each, Buckingham's left hand explores the outer limits of the fret-board while his right index finger flicks out one serrated note after another. Each solo ends with Buckingham in full mad-scientist mode, head thrown back, mouth agape, as he bangs his fists on the guitar. The Bass Hall's crisp acoustics enhance the singer's embroidered harmonies, and the proximity of the stage to the audience creates an intimacy that he clearly relishes. Buckingham seems so at home at the Bass that when he delivers the by-now-requisite "see ya next time" farewell, you believe he will make a return trip to Cowtown. Live at the Bass Performance Hall -- Lindsey Buckingham WEA/Reprise 90 minutes $13.99 (on Amazon) *** out ot 5 stars

I agree with Gerald...why is the reviewer saving his stars??? Also Amazon Update: Amazon E-mailed me yesterday that they shipped it...and it should be here by Wednesday the 26th. So no need to drive into Denver tonight. (That beats their April date by two weeks.)

^ - Nope, it's on import in Europe. Might as well take advantage of the weak dollar and order it from the US.

Hey Peestie...I will get you a copy and mail it to you, if you'd like.
Then in return you could send me some really cool souvenir from Ireland! Last edited by Betsy; 03-25-2008 at 12:56 PM..
