Tulsa - final US stop
 

the title of this thread is depressing me... although really looking forward to reports from the UK/Ire leg of the tour.


just some tweets (starting from the most recent ones; apparently there will be some professional photos from the show in Tulsa paper some time today; some of the tweets also have links to the pics):

@urbanmusicgirl The 2 hour drive on a Monday night to see Lindsey Buckingham was totally worth it. Men half his age would have trouble keeping up with this guy! 2 solid hrs of guitar prowess/new tunes/ and Fleetwood Mac tunes.

[sorry, some additional tweets not necessarily Tulsa concert related interspersed... lazy to completely clean this up]

Ahhhh...:( I'm so sad it's all over for us in the states (for now). But I am happy for all those who will be seeing LB overseas. May they all have the best concert experiences EVER!!!!!

Also, I want to give major love and props to elle for always keeping us posted with these tweets and such. You have NO idea, but I read every single one of those tweets and I'm so grateful to have them. And I probably speak for many, known and lurking. :wavey: Thank you so much!!!!!

This show sounded like another fantastic event can just add to the pile of brilliant/amazing/energized/captivating shows he's been delivering. Ugh, he rocks my world.

thanks Nico! :xoxo: :xoxo:

Review: Lindsey Buckingham at Tulsa Hard Rock
Filed under: Concert Reviews — Real Rock News on November 16, 2011 (12:58)

Story and Photo by Scott Smith

In 10 seconds, most rock guitarists would lose a six-string shoot-out against Lindsey Buckingham.

The guitarist, singer and songwriter with Fleetwood Mac is an artistic monster on the stage, and as brilliant as his finger-picking rhythm patterns and searing lead breaks are on the Mac’s “Rumours” and “Tusk” albums and on his studio work, it’s seeing and hearing the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s nimble fingers and thumbs in person that truly is an astounding experience.

lindsey-buckingham-by- scott-smith

Buckingham and his solo band showed no hints of fatigue or road burnout when they played their final U.S. date of Buckingham’s Seeds We Sow Tour at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Joint on Nov. 14, 2011, near Tulsa, Okla. At age 62, Buckingham still fires off guitar parts to retain his title in the world’s Top Three Living Guitarists Club.

Wearing a dark leather jacket and blue jeans and sporting, as usual, rock’s greatest hair, Buckingham performed music from his latest CD, “Seeds We Sow,” with some of the new tracks (“In Our Own Time,” “Stars Are Crazy” and “Seeds We Sow”) showcasing Buckingham’s melodic, on-going tip of the hat to Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson, while Fleetwood Mac favorite “I’m So Afraid” handed Buckingham a wide-open canvas to slash furiously at his guitar.

“Trouble,” Buckingham’s minor hit from 1981, took on a slower rhythm and gained beauty, as did “Under the Skin,” while “Go Insane,” like it has since Fleetwood Mac’s 1997 tour, took shape in haunted, acoustic-guitar form. “Go Your Own Way,” a tune that defies wear and tear from near-constant radio play, summoned some of Buckingham’s greatest solos of the evening.

At first, much of the crowd seemed a bit sedate, even during Buckingham’s trademark, one-man take of Fleetwood Mac’s brooding “Big Love,” but when the galloping rhythm commenced for the equally great “Second Hand News,” all ages were on their feet, wiggling to Buckingham’s fluttering guitar sound and the backing band’s succinct instrumental play.

Even though “Tusk” seemed a bit early in the set — the Fleetwood Mac staple arrived about 3/4 through the two-hour show — the song gained stronger legs in the concert setting. After singing the song’s initial hushed vocal parts, Buckingham let his famous vocal howl gush for the song’s final two minutes before playfully stomping across the stage, thrashing about his electric guitar.

Buckingham’s performance, just like his effort with Fleetwood Mac at Tulsa’s BOK Center in 2009 and during his solo shows at the Brady Theater in 2007 and 2008, almost always was spot-on inside the Hard Rock. Watching Buckingham tear out solos, gently stroke quieter chord patterns and sing the tribal-like “Tusk” as if a man possessed comprise a can’t-miss event.

While witnessing Buckingham command the stage, it’s so easy to see why Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood would do anything, way back at the end of 1974, to get Buckingham to join his band. Fleetwood was so desperate to get Buckingham to join, he relented to the guitarist’s “package” demand that Fleetwood Mac also hire Buckingham’s then-girlfriend, a pre-famous singer-songwriter named Stevie.

Look at all those people going wild- and not one of them posts on the Ledge. It's like a whole area of LB fans I never knew existed. ;)

^I'll double-down on that.

It's always sad when a tour is over,
even if you didn't attend one show.

Hey guys,

Just so you know, I have a super-detailed (well, as detailed as my memory will allow) review coming. I managed to take 152 photos (yikes, I had no idea!).. obviously, I can't post them all, but I plan on giving a good review.

Hey, *I* was there ;) Only one photo of me in my set, and it's not in the concert itself, because I took the other 150.. pretty much.

I do have some good ones (I hope) of people going crazy. Not stars either ;)


Hey, while I'm thinking, do people mind if some pics are a little blurry? Some I have stories to go with..

Spikey, post all the pics to your heart's content. I can't wait to read your experience!! Go on!! :)

You know we don't mind. Looking forward to your review.

SLIDE SHOW: Lindsey Buckingham at the Joint
11/17/2011 11:24:34 AM

On Monday night, Lindsey Buckingham performed at the Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa.

OK, I'm workin' on it. I may have to 'shut it down' a little though, my review just has the intro and first song so far and it's a post's worth already..

I don't think the mods want me to post 149 pics either.

Expect it maybe the weekend. I'll do my best.

hey - don't hesitate to post in installments - we are greedy for any info!:thumbsup:

:distress: did not attend any lindsey shows? what a loss...

Not really. The last solo tour I saw him on
was great. I was right at the front. Got to
play his guitar. Talked with him afterwards.
Can't imagine it being better, so I chose to
end it on a high note.

Very few shows have been better. Really
only two come to mind:

Elvis Presley
Shelby Lynne

I'd say Lindsey is in good company.

It's coming.. I swear. I'm halfway done with it and it's already a major essay.

Sorry guys, been busy with the holidays, and been sick. But I will do it! For Buckheads worldwide!!

Aww damn!!! Shelby Lynne is the Queen. I love her so much. I can't even...I forgive you over all the hair jokes now after you posted this. Shelby is so phenom that I approve of LB being in her company as your favorite concert experiences. So much greatness.

I'm glad you forgave me.
And you like Shelby too?
I knew I liked you.

The World Needs More Shelby Fans.

Shelby is magnificent. She's a brilliant songwriter and singer. Her album Identity Crisis is one of my personal favorite albums ever. I love her voice SO much, and she's the only person who can cover John Lennon's "Mother" and somehow make it her own. Aww, I like you too!! :wavey:
