Don't need to youtube. I saw when it aired. It was good. I can't say the Earth stood still, but I thought it was really good.
Lindsey is great, but is afraid to get out of his comfort zone. I never need to hear "I'm So Afraid" ever again. Ever. (I'd say "Go Your Own Way" but I'll be realistic.) The fact that people were just blown away in Cincinnati because Lindsey played "Bwana" told me just about all I needed to know. Album sales aside, how is it guys like Pollard think nothing of doing the weird **** (and Pollard's got a LOT of weird ****...I've got over 50 releases, five videos, a book, and probably other stuff I'm forgetting, and still am in beginner mode), but it totally freaks these guys out? What does he know that they don't? Lindsey's got the chops, and as at a point in his career where the hit days over. What does he have to lose? His fans won't hate him if he screws a song up live. Lindsey and Fleetwood Mac have no sense of adventure. I can't believe that he thinks doing weird ****, even badly, would hurt his credibility any more than doing this.
