I'm going,:] I don't know my seats yet. My brother got 4 free tickets from the casino and told me to not buy any. I need to call him and see if he picked the tixs up yet to know where we'll be at. Will let ya'll know! I am traveling up from Virginia for the show.

It's my first Lindsey solo concert and I am so looking forward to it!

I think they do all comp'd ticket Willcall. When your brother picks them up, he should ask if they can upgrade you - you might be able to upgrade to better seats.

I'm a little bit surprised there aren't more Ledgies going to this show - it's easily driveable from Cleveland, Pittsburgh & Buffalo. :shrug: Although, it is in the middle of nowhere (literally) and there aren't that many lodging options besides the casino/hotel itself & the nearby Holiday Inn, so maybe that's why.

Oh well. Better seats for those of us who ARE going! :angel:

I was amazed that Lindsey was going there because it is in the middle of nowhere! But like you said, better seats for us! I told my SIL to upgrade seats if she can. Hubs and I are leaving Friday morning. Not sure :shrug: where I'll be yet but look for a short older blonde wearing a black, "Charles Dickens" hat! Hope to meet fellow Ledgies who are going! :] :angel:

The Casino Hotel is fully booked, (no room at the Inn).

Must be a large Non-Ledgie crowd.

Time to induct a few more innocents into the fold.

Wow, only 5 front row seats left for sale, $122 each. DEAL.

I'd say so! :lol:

Amazing....no room at the inn!

I'm still stuck on what to wear Saturday night and I've got to finish packing by tomorrow night! Ahhhhhhhh:laugh::laugh:

Anyone want to meet up before or after?

Has been booked for several weeks. Not uncommon on a weekend there- it's Southern NY so the leaves are a bit past peak, but people are still heading down that way for long weekends/mini vacations. Also, it's hunting season & you'd be surprised how many hunters make a casino stop (or their bored wives do!) Oh, did I mention it's in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE so there's nothing better to do than gamble? :nod:

Be prepared - my guess is that most seats are comped, so lots of casual fans & people sitting down. :(

I'd say so! :lol:

We'll be around the casino beforehand, but not sure what time everyone's arriving/eating/etc. There's a bar area at the entrance to the venue if I recall, so I'm sure we'll run into eachother. I'm wearing either a dark green satin tunic blouse, or a black/grey/teal top. Black jeans. Oh, and I'll be standing at the bar between 2 short lesbians. :laugh:

Don't forget drinking too! LOL:)

That's why my brother gets free perks from the casino!

OK....will look out for ya.

Will check back here once I get home (Forestville)!

Lindsey was just awesome! This was my first LB concert and I was, "Wowed!" :thumbsup: I took a few pics but then decided to record. Well.....my videos didn't turn out! :( I did Tusk, GYOW, Trouble, So Afraid, SWS, and a few others. I was so bummed when I checked my camera later and saw they weren't there! ARGH!!!!!

Does anyone who went to this show have Tusk & GYOW and be sweet enough to post?

We were in the 8th row seats 11 & 12! Near the end we got up and stood near the stage. I was 1 person short from getting an LB handshake! :(
At least I got these!

I've been unable to log into the ledge for weeks, so I wasn't able to say that I was gonna be there, but I was in fact there. And it was an amazing concert. I was at the stage the whole concert which is a first for me, other then from Edge onward for 2 Stevie shows, but never for a whole concert. I can't get over the intimacy of a Lindsey show. the way Lindsey basically communicates with people at the front of the stage. Thats really the best part of his shows. At one point he said he'd like to do a request portion during a future tour and someone shouted do the whole cradle album, and he said thats a good idea. Don't know if he says this at all shows.

As for the actual content of the concert. It was great. Some were saying its the best they've seen him, but I think I enjoyed his set in 2008 WAY more then this one. I mean in 08 he opened with Great Day which was maybe the greatest opening to a concert for me ever. A few days ago he opened with Shut Us Down. So there was Great Day, Love Runs Deeper, Come, Gift of Screws (my #1 song from that concert) I Know Im Not Wrong and go Insane full band. That concert just had way more energy and a better flow. The only GOS song kept in is Treason (WTF) and I'm not big on those 2 UTS songs. All My Sorrows was cool but not worth loosing the above songs. Turn It On did nothing for me.

Now on the plus side, the highlights were definitly all the new SWS songs plus I could watch him perform Im So Afraid over and over again for the whole 2 hours, that never gets old. The Way Love Goes was the song of the night. It almost made up for no Gift of Screws. It had Mad energy. I prefer One Take on the album but I question if it would have as much enrergy as the way love goes has on stage. Illumination and In Our Own time were great and I even enjoyed End of time, but still dont like the song on the CD.

And can I add that I had the greatest time driving to this show. Do you agree with me Paula, I'd imagine we drove the exact same route. I feel like I should just drive to and from Salamanca once a month now. The drive there + an awseome CD (SWS on repeat was great Background music.) is really my idea of a good time. And I was really confused when the 219 kept going past Springville. the last time I went down that far was March 09 to ski at Holiday Valley and you still had to get off in Springville.

He said that?! AWESOME!! I hope this comes to fruition! :thumbsup:

Of course, I LOVED hearing the SWS songs this go-round, but I agree that the GOS tour was a better setlist overall. :nod:

Where were you? Brett's side or Neale's? We were directly in front of Neale for the whole show - you're right, so intimate. I've walked up to the stage for handshakes & guitar strumming at other shows, but this was the first that I stationed myself up there for the entire show.

ITA that The Way Love Goes was "the" song. I love it on the album, and I love it even more live!

Well, we typically drive down that way pretty much annually (we camp near Allegany State Park) so I'm used to it & it IS a great ride. haven't been down that way since '09 either though - they just finished that 219 extension within the past 6 months to a year. I think it's pretty dumb, actually. :laugh: Even when they take it all the way to 17/86, it won't save that much time. PLUS people are going to drive right by Springville, E-Ville, etc. Those towns will suffer.

I was the person at the stage furtherst to the left. The security guys at this show were the nicest in history. My actual seat was 3rd row way off to the left, but one of the guards basically said whoever wants to walk up to the stage basically can.

Morgana

11-09-2011, 07:26 PM

I finally made it over to the stage near the end. I was at the far right side next to the gal that shouted, "I love you Lindsey!" I too was amazed how nice security was! I wished I'd went to the stage earlier! I'll make sure to do that next time. I agree....loved the intimacy! I was impressed with how much passion he puts into his playing and energy too! I hope he will tour next yr too, would love to see more of him!

It's been a long time since I traveled down from Springville to Salamanca, you're right, extending 219 isn't going to save much time and it'll be sad to see the towns along the way fizzle and die out. I was trying to remember where 219 intersected the NYS border at on the way up, we took 219 in PA and then crossed over into NYS past Warren....to Falconer and the back way to Forestville........those mountains are so beautiful! The weather was beautiful for the trip up and back to Virginia!

what what what?? future tour?!?! request portion?!?!?!? :blob1::blob2::blob1::blob2::blob1:

all this sounds great!!

i can't be objective since this is the only tour i've seen (and out of the 5 shows i've seen, he never said that!), but i do think this is great setlist (once i got over unhappiness with UTS, Sorrows, and Treason). in any case, it is definitely much better than UTS, probably b/c SWS songs he does are so great and energetic. i've listened to some boots from GOS tour, and i do skip some songs there, but i don't skip any on this one.

i do agree that the total lack of GOS/SYW songs on this tour is just wrong, though.

i think SUD is a perfect opener, however i can see how the high energy start of the show like GOS tour had would be just as great albeit completely different.

and, i completely disagree with you about Turn it on - i think it's just perfect where it is in the setlist, and it's one of my top 3 songs from OOTC (the other 2 being Don't look down and YDOYD).

Lindsey Buckingham @ Seneca Allegany Events Center (Inside the Seneca Allegany Casino) Salamanca, NY November 5, 2011

Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham brought his solo act to the Seneca Allegany Casino last Saturday night. Mostly known for his plucking style of guitar playing, Lindsey played songs from his latest solo effort “Seeds We Sow,” in addition to a slue of Fleetwood Mac covers.

The casino allowed the first couple of rows to fill in the front, as per the request of Lindsey. He surely played off the crowd and enjoyed every ounce of adulation and gave it back as well. Buckingham enjoyed the spotlight on the first four tracks of the evening, and was later joined by his band to complete the set. However, he did finish the show in earlier fashion, as he performed the last song of the evening, “Seeds We Sow,” under a single spotlight once again.

Lindsey talked about why he is choosing to play these small shows with just his acoustic and electric guitars. His thoughts conveyed that it takes him back to his days as a kid, learning on the acoustic and just enjoying the simplicity of that. He also referred to Fleetwood Mac as the “big machine” and his band as the “little machine.”

Lindsey would make it to the edge of the stage and hold his guitar while letting the fans strum some chords during the Fleetwood Mac classic, “Go Your Own Way.” “Big Love” was an intense masterpiece and one of the evening’s highlights. The other highlight was the song “Stars are Crazy,” as his solo during it was simply jaw dropping. In fact, he played 5 other new songs off of “Seeds We Sow.” Buckingham offered a great mix of song selections and the new material seemed very well received.

Set List:

Shut us Down
Go Insane
Never Going Back Again
Big Love (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Under my Skin
All my Sorrows
In Our Own Time
Illumination
Second Hand News (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Tusk (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Stars are Crazy
End of Time
That’s the Way Love Goes
I’m so Afraid (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Go Your Own Way (Fleetwood Mac cover)

Encore:

Turn It On
Treason
Sees We Sow

We would like to thank Tony Astran from the Seneca Allegany Casino for allowing Backstageaxxess.com to review the show.
