Hey I found this, I don't know if anybody else has seen it or posted it, But it is amazing, and CHRIS IS ON SNARE DRUM...I NEVER KNEW she did that at least on tour, awesome

[David]

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

[bucklind17]

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.

[sywlindseyfan]

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?

[jbrownsjr]

HOLY COW... THEY ARE AMAZING!!! LB fanstastic... Christine is so hot on that snare!!!

[michelej1]

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.

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

[soul_drifter333]

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

[dnightshade]

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!

[chiliD]

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?

[hestergail]

If Lou Reed was HOT!!!!!:laugh: Man that vest with no shirt!!:]:]:]

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?)

[aleuzzi]

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

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.

[michelej1]

It's like Stevie said,

"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."

[deribish]

it's a snare chris is playing. Snare drums are flatter than a tom or timbale... plus they have "snares" on the bottom of them to give them that marching band sound which is very noticeable throughout the entire song.

it's pretty great to see this type of video. It's a shame that as the years past, the shows began to lack any sort of soemthing like this....surprising or unique.

You're right except for the end of the Dance concerts when the band lined up to perform Farmer's Daughter and/or was it Say You Love Me with a different arrangement: though I did miss Christine's famous keyboard sound missing from that one.

[The Catdancer]

I loved it when Stevie said about Christine:"She looks like she's gonna be confirmed in a Catholic church" :laugh:

Yes but I think that's Mick you're hearing. The martialesque, vibrating snare can be heard on dozens of Second Hand Newses from several tours -- Chris didn't play her drum every time, & here she isn't playing with enough visual precision to follow Mick exactly.

I don't think she's adding anything to the sound other than a whomp here & a poooosh there -- akin to Stevie clickety-clacking on the triangle & the cowbell. (Although they've probably at least mic'd Christine whereas with Stevie the sound guy probably drops the mic when she holds that cowbell right up to it & clickety-clicker-clackers it -- as if thousands of paying customers wanted to hear THAT.)

I was impressed with Stevie's cowbell abilities on the Tusk Tour. I know my arm would have fallen off trying to keep time with the band on the song Tusk.

[sywlindseyfan]

yes seriously, she must have been practicing cuz as a drummer I know the tempo Mick sets is a pretty fast one, and I think you can hear Chris at some parts, BUT she IS also playing the snare with brusshes...sooo yea!

Is there anything she can't play?

Keyboards
Cello
Guitar
Acordian
Various percussion

Gail

PS Oh and Chair or does that count as percussion?

Oh Christ yes Bass - Was that Shades of Blue?

Anyone got anymore to add to the list?

Gail

[will26]

Thanks for the videos, Christine sounds beautiful on the harmony on Save me a Place.

[njova]

Lindsey looks and sounds so sexy on that save me a place video. :]

Arp string ensemble. Didn't she play that on Heroes?

[aleuzzi]

Hey that Save me a Place clip was excellent. The harmonies were gorgeous. It sounds like they could, at any time, break into "The Sun King" from Abbey Road.

[David]

Arp string ensemble. Didn't she play that on Heroes?File that one under "keyboards." We're looking for something like piccolo, or English horn.

[petep9000]

yes! She said (in her lovely withering English accent) "for some obscure reason I was playing bass.."

[aleuzzi]

Didn't she play piccolo on Rumors?....Kidding!

[throughthefog]

Man Christine has so much talent, and she has used it of course but she is very missed now, FM is now Buckingham/Nicks again (without the chemistry).
