http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/blo...ew-live-trails Going At It His Own Way: Lindsey Buckingham Blazes New Live Trails Fleetwood Mac's main man takes no prisoners on a solo tour tear BY MIKE METTLERPOSTED SEPTEMBER 29, 2011 Photo: Krista Mettler ENLARGE Gallery: Lindsey Buckingham, Going His Own Way at Town Hall SEE GALLERY Lindsey Buckingham totally owned New York's Town Hall this past Tuesday night. Though it was an early stop on a fall tour supporting his sixth solo album Seeds We Sow, Buckingham was in fine fighting form mixing his more reflective, chance-taking solo material with long-embedded Fleetwood Mac classics. This was my seventh sojourn to an LB solo show. His first Town Hall gig, complete with a literal guitar armada, was on March 31, 1993, in support of the brilliant Out of the Cradle, still one of my system-audition benchmark discs. A decade-plus later, he hit Town Hall on October 10, 2006 to share the acoustic-driven Under the Skin. Wherever and whenever I've seen him, he's always been riveting, intense, and driven — just as he was on Tuesday, from my 10th row just-a-hair-left-of-center vantage point. And Town Hall's wonderful artist-friendly acoustics well-suited the ebb and flow of this fabulous 100-minute set. I broke my longstanding always-wear-earplugs rule from the moment LB stepped onstage alone around 8:20 p.m., brandishing an acoustic guitar. He interspersed dramatic solo tracks like the set-opening irony of "Shut It Down" with more familiar fare like "Never Going Back Again," the latter enhanced by a new fingerpicked intro. Speaking of, LB's fingerpicking style is a unique flail-jangle that is a pure marvel to watch, whether he's going at it alone acoustically on "Go Insane" and "Big Love" or blazing away electrically with full band in tow during strum-und-drang attacks on Mac perennials "I'm So Afraid" and "Go Your Own Way." (However, he did have a pick in his strumming hand for one of the encores, "Treason," from 2008's Gift of Screws.) The set breathed masterfully, moving from pin-drop solo turns to the the right mix of new (a driving "Illumination" and "The Way That Love Goes") and old (Cradle deep cuts "All My Sorrows" and "Turn It On"). As Lindsey told me in our current S+V Interview, "You can't just go out there and play all new stuff or even mostly new stuff; you've gotta find a balance and a context. Over a period of time, I've been able to find songs that succeed with just me and a guitar, so that becomes an element which I can now do with a certain density. I think of the body of work I have as assets. So hopefully we can make a set that hangs together in context. The show has the spirit of something new." The aural rewards of such a freshly realized spirit makes this tour worth catching. And If I can go at it my own way, I'll be seeing LB live again real soon.

Excellent Review
I really appreciate a review from a professional that is also a fan (not that I don't enjoy reading hard core fan reviews on this site). Mettler also penned the excellent interview in Sound+Vision magazine and he has done interviews and reviews back to the OOTC era. Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

The Examiner
http://www.examiner.com/rock-music-i...lo-tour-review Lindsey Buckingham Embarks on New Solo Tour Matthew De Marco, Clifton Rock Music Examiner September 28, 2011 When you get home after attending a rock concert—a good rock concert—and you sit down and go through your pictures, you’re going to think to yourself one of two things: either, “Wow, that show was so intense, my ears are still ringing,” or “That show was really good—it’s a shame more people weren’t there.” Tuesday night’s Lindsey Buckingham show is a great example of the latter. At the Town Hall, located on 43rd St. between Broadway and 6th Ave., Lindsey Buckingham, the lead guitarist and sole male vocalist of the legendary Fleetwood Mac, played an inspiring concert, promoting his new album, Seeds We Sow…though, it seems not too many people knew about it. The small concert hall was nowhere near sold out, but those who were in attendance were in for a real treat. Buckingham started the show much like he started his career: with just his guitar. “I started out as just a boy listening to his older brother’s records, teaching himself how to play guitar,” Buckingham told the audience, “and I’ve realized that that child still lives within me, as it does in all of us.” He then played great acoustic versions of five of his biggest hits, including “Trouble,” “Big Love,” and “Never Going Back Again.” Buckingham then brought out the band. Seeing him backed by a band that wasn’t Fleetwood Mac was a little weird at first, especially for this huge Mac fan, but they did the job. Buckingham said he’s been fortunate enough to work with the “big machine” and the “small machine,”—Fleetwood Mac and solo, respectively—and likened the experiences to directing films; the big films are the money makers, but the smaller independent films “allow you to take risks, follow your heart, and continue to grow as an artist.” With that sentiment in mind, Buckingham played songs from both machines, peppering in his old classics like “Second Hand News,” “Tusk,” and “I’m So Afraid,” which featured a mind-blowing 5 minute guitar solo. We were also introduced to songs from Buckingham’s new album, which he said could be “the best thing I’ve ever done,” including “In Our Own Time,” “Illumination,” and “End of Time,”—all of which were very subdued, much like the record itself. He ended the set with everyone’s favorite break-up song, “Go Your Own Way,” before going into a three song encore. All in all, Buckingham’s still got it. His unique, thunderous finger-picking style is still incredible to watch live, and his voice just seems to get better with age. This critic highly encourages anyone with the opportunity to catch him on this amazing tour.

The Examiner, by Jeff Slate, September 28, 2011
Lindsey Buckingham's mastery of guitar, voice and songwriting at Town Hall September 29, 2011 (New York, NY) -- Most of the over-55 rocker set are phoning it in these days, playing it all too safe amidst diminishing skills. So it was a true pleasure to be blown away by a set of mostly solo material by sometime-Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham's performance at Town Hall last night. Kicking off with a set of 7 acoustic numbers, Buckingham had the typically jaded New York audience on its feet between each number. The opener, "Shut Us Down" from 2006's "Under the Skin" set the template. Buckingham went from delicately fingerpicked melodies to bold but articulated strumming, all the while holding down an exquisite melody with a voice that he exhibits total control of. "Go Insane", from Buckigham's 1984 solo album of the same name, and "Trouble" from 1987's "Law and Order" received magnificent reworkings. Shorn of their 80's production and stripped down to bare-bones acoustic numbers in Buckingham's nimble hands, the songs ebbed and flowed and took the audience places that the original versions only ever hinted at. "Never Going Back Again" from Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" was familiar and performed to perfection, but didn't pack the same punch as the previous, less familiar but completely reimagined tunes, but "Big Love", a Mac song stripped like the others to its core, fared better. No matter, the audience were still rapturous in their applause. And deservedly so. In fact, neither Buckingham's studio recordings or his live recordings or concert films have ever really captured the power on display last night. Finishing off the first part of the show with "Under the Skin" (the title track of one of Buckingham's three recent, excellent solo efforts) and "All My Sorrows" (from 1992's "Out of the Cradle"), Buckingham seemed to gain momentum from energy of the audience as much as the peaks in his playing. Buckingham's long-time touring band then joined him. After the power of his acoustic set, this was a bit of a let down. The band is excellent, but is perhaps too perfect, devoid of any edge or soul, not really in Buckingham's class. But the show was ultimately about Buckingham and he didn't disappoint. With every whoop and hollar, every high note, and even every between song, off-mic scream in acknowledgement of the audience, it seemed that Buckingham might blow out that still-powerful voice of his. But his voice, like his guitar-playing, stayed strong and controlled throughout the night. In fact, though Buckingham clearly was working himself hard, he also was in total control of the stage over the course of the night. Ten more songs whisked by, including Mac classics "Second Hand News", "Tusk" (that's right!), "I'm So Afraid" and the master class in making the quirky a pop classic "Go Your Own Way." Buckingham talked during his set several times about his career being akin to that of a film director who has been lucky to make blockbusters (with Fleetwood Mac) as well as independent films (his solo works), and how both feed off each other, but also how his smaller projects have sustained him and allowed him to grow and stretch artistically. And he seemed genuinely appreciative that his (relatively) small audience has not just indulged him, but has gone along for the ride with him every step of the way. Buckingham returned for an encore with three solo songs, "Turn It On", the excellent "Treason" and the title track from his new album "Seeds We Sow." The Town Hall audience was with him until the last note rang out.

But otherwise yeah, Treason is not the centerpiece of the album! (Since he insists on doing UTS (the song), why can't he do GOS?)

Wow, I am in the minority here! I think Treason is fantastic, but love Time Precious Time even more! It's good that his albums can please us all in different ways.
