Default Who's so afraid of "Come"?

I'm reading more and more reviews about how lots of people leave for a bathroom break during Lindsey's performance of Come. From my perspective, that is such a hugely career-defining moment for him, and a big highlight of the show that proves that Fleetwood Mac is still a vital force to be reckoned with.

If you're a true fan of guitar rock (and appreciate all facets of the band), you realize what an amazing guitarist he is as he carries you along as the song builds and builds. It's an amazing experience if you stay with it. I've seen two concerts and both times I've been completely blown away...and have seen response of other un-initiated audience members whose jaws drop in awe of it. As he wails away I think "gee, this must have been what it was like when people saw Jimi Hendrix perform!"

Being that Fleetwood Mac's music runs the gamut of styles, some people must just assume the band will put on a generic, lightweight soft rock show appropriate for Disneyland and the masses (small children and fluffy animals). I guess these are also the same people who are also eagerly awaiting a box set from Air Supply.

Neophytes be damned. Linsdey is keeping this band relevant.
