The first one looks like the Tusk tour to me (?)
As for the OOTC tour, the many guitarists was something he said he'd had an idea of wanting for a long time.

He wanted to be backed by by 7 of people on the ax? Why didn't he do it for Big Love then? And why did he wanna make Big love acoustic-only live?

I think it was only 4 or 5 backing guitarists, not 7. He said in something I read about how some songs didn't sound the way he wanted them to 'live' with only him or one other backing guitarist, so this was supposed to 'fill-out' the instrumentals.

I am completely unsure as to why he decided to start doing 'Big Love' acoustically. Maybe he couldn't replicate the instrumental the way he wanted to when he was 'live'. I guess he didn't use other guitarists because he wanted it to be his 'show piece'.

He got Go nsane sounding fine full ensemble, but I bet with Big Love he just wanted to show off how kickass he was on the acoustic.

I know most single-guitarist bands hire a second guitarist to play rhythm guitar to create a fuller sound and fill for for studio overdubs, but 5 is a bit overboard.

And BTW, I have come to a very important conclusion today: that man is a damn chameleon! (but a hot one regardless) See? http://****yeahlindseybuckingham.tum...winner-rumours

I agree he used to change his look a lot, but for the past five or so years, he's looked pretty much the same.

Except for the fact that, right now, I'm pretty sure that he's been losing some hair too!

As always, Great pics holidayroad! I thought the second one was Tusk also.

Cassie, probably the dark suit, open to show off his chest hair ( ala The Dance ) threw you off

And as for the guitars, I remember him talking about that too, on the Merv Griffin show! He said he wanted to do a "flying V" like in the big band days...very much like the drum formation in the Trouble video. He does layer a lot of different guitar parts in his songs, so I don't think a lot of guitars is that crazy. Yeah, maybe 5 or 6 is a little over board, but, hey, he loves guitars!

First of all, can you find me that interview?

Second off, the suit hing must have thrown me off, but he seems to love his chest hair too, since he seems to enjoy showing it off enough.

He's so cute in this. It's a good interview. The part about the flying V is at about 4:43. When I was a kid, I watched Merv Griffin religiously, checked the TV Guide every week to see who'd be on, and hope I'd be home to see it ( no Tivo - or even VCRs back then - LOL. )!

I did the same thing, with Mike Douglas, Dinah Shore and Johnny Carson. I'm not sure about Merv Griffin. For some reason, I didn't see his show as much. I would check the tv guide listings for both tv show appearances and for movies, because I was a Sonny and Cher fan and kept hoping for their movie Good Times to show up. I recorded shows with my audio cassette recorder, in those pre-VCR days and I would listen to the cassette over and over. I still have them.

Yep, I went page by page through the whole guide, checking every talk show and movie listing. I liked Mike Douglas and Dinah Shore too, and watched Johnny Carson when I was old enough to stay up so late! I had so many crushes, and checked for them all! I never taped any shows, but, I bought some from others' who did. I'd find their ads in the classifieds of all the movie and TV magazines, and we'd trade magazine clips of our favorites too! It's so much easier thesed days to be obsessed

My whole family watched S&C together each week ( when I was really little, we watched the Andy Williams show! ). When I was in my teens, their greatest hits was one of many records I'd play ( along with Neil Diamond, Tom Jones, Elvis, the Carpenters... ) when my mom and I would play cards or board games. It was a neat way to connect. "All I Ever Need is You" is still one of my all time favorite songs. It's on my mp3 player, and it never fails to make me feel better when I'm feeling kinda blue.
