Be patient. He is going to tour for a while. Chance are good he will be near to you.

I think it'll be a while until we start to see Mid-West or East Coast dates. I have a feeling this tour will be done in short legs, generally located in the same areas, like what we saw with CA. Next will probably be the North West, then South West (or vice versa), then another short break. A lot of scheduling and routing issues come up in small tours like this. I'm sure they just want everything to flow and make sense :)


and finally, some promoter for University of Iowa, tweeted this yesterday:

Just got pitched Lindsey Buckingham by his agent. Can't stop thinking about DeAndre Jordan never letting him talk on "what up with dat" #SNL

of course, he doesn't know his SNL characters, but at least he's got LB's name right :)

Oh LB, how about you take a little trip across the pond too? :nod:

If I am lucky enough to get a quick word with Lindsey, it's my top priority to get some sort of answer from him as to whether he'll come over.

I want to tell him that I would like to bring something positive back with me to relate to fans in UK/Ireland/Europe.

He needs to be told from a UK fan how devastated we were and how much we want him here! I will do my utmost to try and waylay him and get some sort of answer straight from the horses mouth! :laugh:

The east coast (if he comes here) will probably get the fall. He likes it here in the fall. And, that's fine by me. Maybe I can prepare $$ better than last year.

Can't wait for east coast dates! Wish I could make it out to Cali, but it's not in the cards.

I wish he'd come to Austin... I think he'd be surprised at the turnout. I know his shows in Houston haven't done so well. But Austin is all about the underground music scene.

I just want my Rhode Island show darn it! I really feel bad for the European fans and hope he does something very special for them. I have to say that I am not really excited about an all acoustic show. Maybe his band will be back in full swing when he does hit the east coast.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. Once in a lifetime opportunity to see an all acoustic show and it's only for the W. Coast. :(

I hope he comes to the East Coast around October-November....that way my funds can have time to recover from the summer of Stevie.


.....however if he did come earlier that would be fine too. I would still get fantastic seats and just run a credit card up or something. Wouldn't miss either of them for the world. :lol:

Hmm, he could still do both. He could tour medium size venues with his band. On the few off days he could do his acoustic show at smaller venues.
For example, on a Friday he plays a place like Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA which holds about 270. He does an acoustic show there. The next night on the Saturday he plays The Park Theatre in Cranston, RI which holds about 1100 with his full band.
I am not saying he should do a show every night but he could mix it up a bit.

that's interesting idea - i'm sure he could do this. not so sure his guitar tech would be very happy with the schedule like that.:laugh:

Haha, brilliant! You must. Print off a copy of your sig pic and show him. I'd say that pretty much sums up the feelings of his UK/IRL/European fans :laugh:

I'm not that excited about all acoustic either. I really like the blend of both that he's had in the last tours.

Are you kidding me - I'm trying to get him on side!!!!! ;):lol:

Haha. You know what? The whole LB tour cancellation is still such a sore point for me, but your sig never fail to make me giggle :laugh:

But yeah, you're right - get him on side. He needs to visit us over here!

I've given up on this.

I've almost given up. There's still a tiny but of optimism left, but not much. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled for everyone who will be seeing him in the upcoming shows and look forward to reading all the reviews and accounts. But I am still sorely disappointed for us over in the UK/IRL/Europe. I think mostly I'm disappointed over the fact that the whole thing was never properly addressed by LB.

I know I'm going over for 3 shows (so far lol) but, believe me, I'm still sore and by no means over the disappointment! That M&G meant everything to me, and really it's just wishful thinking that I'll get to meet him in Cali, just hoping that's all. But I'm still "glass half full" that he will come here - eventually!

I have my fingers crossed for you :D Also, you must give us full reports of your shows. Which ones are you going to?

Thanks :)

Santa Cruz - gold circle tix (GA but guaranteed first 4 rows)
Sacramento - 2nd Row (centre, aisle seats)
Redding - 2nd Row (left, aisle seats)

Still hoping for San Fran, San Jose, Oakland - although dates have dried up for the moment.

Excellent! Well as I said earlier, am hoping for a full report - us lot on the other side of the pond will be living vicariously through you :)

Two New Dates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

argh!!

i would love to go to carmel... but not on 10th! what was wrong with 12th LB's people?!

Ah! I work in Carmel Valley that night....hummmm :)

Nine of the 10 confirmed shows will take place in the singer/guitarist’s home state of California, with the trek kicking off May 3 in Solana Beach and plotted out through a May 21 concert in Spokane, Washington.

Most recently, Buckingham was forced to cancel a tour of the UK this past November when the guitarist in his solo band seriously injured his back.

Buckingham continues to promote his Seeds We Sow album, which was released in September of last year.

Here are all of his confirmed tour dates, according to LindseyBuckingham.com:

5/3 — Solana Beach, CA, Belly Up Tavern
5/4 — Los Angeles, CA, The Wiltern
5/5 — San Juan Capistrano, CA, The Coach House

This article contains a nice color photo of Lindsey.

yes, this seems to be the promo photo they are using for this tour - a much nicer photo than the one that was used for the last year's tour. i wish this photo would also replace the main photo on LB's website.

3 new dates!!
 

Mon 5/14 San Francisco. CA The Fillmore
Thur 5/17 Bend, OR Tower Theatre
Fri 5/18 Portland, OR Aladdin Theatre

Yay! Doing backflips, rolypolys and cartwheels all around the living room! :]

HI All
I have the same problem with that I had last time Lindsey was in SF, which is that I have to work that night and it might be very hard for me to get it off. Does anyone know if there will be an opener? It seems like he never has an opening act. Is that by his choice? If anyone knows and could let me know that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
Kevin

i would expect no opener.

You can get the night off if you call in sick.

Actually our school is having a major financial crisis and we aren't allowed to get subs for one class. I could be at the Fillmore by 8:45 but if he starts at 8:00 and there is no opener, that will be too late. I might be able to change with another teacher, but I already am doing that once to see Bruce in April. I may just end up going down to Santa Cruz on Friday, but I'd really rather not have to drive so far. Maybe I will get luck and they will start the show at 8:30 or 9:00 :) It's weird because I checked the starting times of the other shows and they range from 7:30 to 9:00.

Please don't let him play east coast shows that are in the middle of nowhere.
