OOTC Tour 1992

[BLY]

As I listen to this amazing concert from 1992 it’s so refreshing to hear Lindsey playing live for the first time in 10 years. When I think about all the live concerts I saw this “band” from 1978 to 2013. I missed only the Tusk and OOTC tour. My two favorite albums.....Go figure.

I didn't know he toured throughout 1992–93 for the first time as a solo artist. Did he ever mention why he didn't tour for his 2 first albums?

Those albums (Law & Order and Go Insane) were “squeezed in” between Mac projects and left no meaningful time for touring.

Nope. “Go Insane” was released on July 3, 1984. Plenty of time for a tour. Lindsey didn’t like touring back then.

That makes sense. Mirage tour lasted just two months. He probably was still tired or saturated from the long Mac tours of the 70s, though 4 years was enough time to recover.

Wasn't the Mirage tour only 18 shows? But Tusk was insanely long.
These days, very few make much money off of selling records. Touring is where you make bank now.

He didn’t seem to relish it. But he probably hadn’t yet figured out how to present a solo show. He wasn’t interested in just getting up there with a rhythm section and bashing out a string of songs without a relationship, a narrative, providing a foundation (especially a bunch of songs from his Fleetwood Mac days). See the other thread about the DVD for insights into how he crafted a show. It was a more intricate, thoughtful affair when he finally toured in 1992. I recall his saying that, by 1992, he had built a body of solo work that was varied enough to take onstage.

possible, it's annoying that there are no any official LB sites with archive of albums or tours anywhere, but we are lucky we have fans like nodmod putting so much effort to preserve the info.

I call BS. By 1992, Stevie, Christine, and Mick all found ways to do solo tours. Lindsey simply didn’t want to. How hard would it have been to get the Zoo and a keyboard player and do a proper tour? (Ironically, Steve Ross was in Lindsey’s ‘92 band.)

Interestingly, Lindsey was the opener for Tina Turner's 1993 tour. A friend of mine saw the show in Montreal, Canada.

I remember her telling me that as it was a Tina audience, no one knew who Lindsey was until he did 'Go Your Own Way', and then he was recognized only as 'what's his name from Fleetwood Mac'.
