Lindsey Buckingham Does Conan

Sep 7th '11 by tom @ 10:55am4 Comments

Last night, Fleetwood Mac figurehead and general all-around smooth-rock king Lindsey Buckingham stopped by Conan to perform “In Our Time,” a song from his new album Seeds We Sow, and to do some serious acoustic shredding. Watch it below.

There’s also an “official” (live) music video at lindseybuckingham.com.

It’s going to be faintly weird every time Buckingham appears on a talk show now, isn’t it? Thanks, Kenan Thompson. Seeds We Sow is out now on Buckingham Records.

No offense taken. Glad you're able

can't.

What's funny is, that years ago I
wouldn't have said that about his
playing (true or not). But we get
older I guess. Maybe he had mousse
on his fingers, and that's what caused
his off night of playing. Can't
blame him for that, that hair can't
stand up on it's own.

I don't feel it was so much Buckingham's playing that was poor... but the "licks" he's created for the song are kinda lame. especially the repetitive notes at the end.

ah, i'm finally getting what is iamnotafraid talking about! i'm not a guitar expert by any strech of imagination but i listened to Conan performance several times and while it was not nearly as great as Saban (just check that newly released official OOTC video, perfection!) i didn't find any major flaws with his guitar playing on Conan. so i was puzzled what is he talking about. mylittledemon i think you hit the nail on the head - when i first heard those firetruck licks at Saban i also thought that something is off - before i realized that's how they are written and supposed to sound (fire still bruning - from the fire we will rise again - firetruck sounding licks - get it iamnotafraid?

).
