[QUOTE=Livia;1057942]That DO512 article is so much better than this one (I almost wrote to her to tell her that LB does NOT perform any songs penned by the ladies of FM). Louie, it's gonna be a great show and I can't wait to finally meet you! The first time I saw LB solo was on the OOTC tour at the Backroom, which is now Emo's East. :-)

Wow, I was at the concert at The Backroom in 1993 too! Incredible show!!!

My top 10 August concerts: Lindsey Buckingham, Linkin Park, Chris Isaak, Kiss and even a little Smile Smile

By Mario Tarradell / Music Critic
[email protected], July 31, 2012

1. Lindsey Buckingham: His guitar work – superb. His songs – creative, classic. Whether Buckingham is in Fleetwood Mac mode, or offering solo gems such as tunes from 2011′s wonderful Seeds We Sow, this should be a primo concert experience. Aug. 23 at 8:30 p.m. at the McKinney Performing Arts Center in McKinney. $45-$55. mckinneytexas.org/mpacdefault.aspx.

2. Linkin Park, Incubus: Rock, of the alt, moody, aggressive and melodic kind, shall fill the venue when these two bands take the stage. Linkin Park is touring behind its new CD, Living Things. Incubus’ last studio album was 2011′s If Not Now, When? Aug. 27 at 6:30 p.m. at Gexa Energy Pavilion, Dallas. $44.37-$120.76. Live Nation.

3. Crosby, Stills & Nash: Assuming the voices hold up, and they should, the harmonies will be sublime from this pioneering trio. David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash were instrumental in the Southern California folk-rock movement of the late ’60s. They have an arsenal of timeless songs to perform. I’m looking forward to this one. Aug. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Verizon Theatre, Grand Prairie. $10-$99.50. axs.com.

4. Jason Mraz: For me, Mraz’s music connotes summer. Imbued with light melodies, brimming with a communal lyrical vibe, lilting with friendly rhythms. Yup, summer. He’s touring behind the new Love Is a Four Letter Word disc, but surely he’ll be performing 2008′s huge single “I’m Yours.” Singer-songwriter Christina Perri opens the gig. Aug.11 at 7:30 p.m. at Gexa Energy Pavilion, Dallas. $30.58-$75.09. Ticketmaster.

5. Iron Maiden: English heavy metal, with mascot “Eddie” in tow, naturally, from the influential band still fronted by lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson. We’re talking more than 30 years of rocking studio and live concert recordings. The most recent studio effort being 2010′s The Final Frontier. Aug. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Gexa Energy Pavilion, Dallas. $34.75-$107.64. Live Nation.

6. Chris Isaak: So I’ve never seen Chris Isaak in concert. Yeah, even I can’t believe that. So here’s my chance. “Wicked Game” aside, although I do love that song, Isaak is a smoldering singer-songwriter with a penchant for vintage rock ‘n’ roll, as on his 2011 tribute to Sun Records, Beyond the Sun. Aug. 31 at 8 p.m. at Verizon Theatre, Grand Prairie. $49.50-$69.50. axs.com.

7. Journey: Forget Glee, I go back much further with Journey. Yes, I remember 1978′s Infinity album with “Wheel In the Sky” and “Lights.” I was 13 years old then. Sigh. Anyway, I’ve seen Journey in concert before, and it’s time to do it again. With Pat Benatar and Loverboy as opening acts, it’ll be a blast. Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. at Gexa Energy Pavilion, Dallas. $34.75-$163.74. Live Nation.

8. Kiss, Mötley Crüe: Pop-rock cranked up loud, super hero-like costumes and kabuki-style make-up, tattoos, blazing glam metal and plenty of testosterone. That’s Kiss and Mötley Crüe. Yes, I’m anticipating the diehard fans to come dressed as the demon or the star child, or even Space Ace. What a hoot! Aug. 4 at 7 p.m. at Gexa Energy Pavilion, Dallas. $51.70-$187.31. Live Nation.

9. Smile Smile: Dallas’ Jencey Hirunrusme and Ryan Hamilton turned the turmoil of being fiances, then breaking up, but continuing as an artistic duo into lovely, profound and refreshing folk-pop music. Just listen to the upcoming Marry a Stranger, to be released Aug. 14, or even 2010′s heartbreaking Truth on Tape, the chronicle of their shattered personal relationship. Magical stuff. Aug. 11 at 7 p.m. at Granada Theater, Dallas. $16. granadatheater.com.

10. Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias: A little Latin, a lot of pop, dashes of hip-hop and loads of club beats pretty much define anything by Lopez and Iglesias. The two bilingual singers are touring together, with help from reggaeton pair Wisin y Yandel as special guests, in what should be a big, glitzy show. Aug. 25 at 7:30 p.m. at American Airlines Center, Dallas.$40.06-$215.04. Ticketmaster.

Austin people: Anyone interested in dinner and/or drinks before the show? That is, if you don't intend to wait in line for a couple hours before the doors open?

Bummer. I messed up and didn't get tix in time - and Austin is sold out.

If anyone comes across any tix, please let me know! Much appreciation in advance!

The 5 Best Shows In Houston This Week: Lindsey Buckingham, Etc.

By Chris GrayMon., Aug. 20 2012 at 5:00 AM

As far as Fleetwood Mac goes, Lindsey Buckingham's wicked guitar-shredding skills have always run a distant third behind the ****ed-up partner-swapping relationship drama that birthed classic albums like Rumours (great though it is), and then the bizarre cult of Stevie Nicks in general.

For once, all that other stuff will get pushed aside when Buckingham makes a rare intimate solo stop tonight at Fitzgerald's. Expect stuff from his recent album Seeds We Sow (2011), as well as better-known solo songs like "Go Insane" and "Trouble," and the odd Mac deep cut.

No good?

Bill, you should go down there anyway - you never know, they might release more tickets at the last minute, and I'm sure people will be selling them outside. Have you tried craigslist or StubHub?

Lindsey Buckingham (Cendera Center): Discussions regarding Fleetwood Mac often to turn to the same “What if” conundrum that applies to bands such as Pink Floyd, or any other classic act where a prominent member was replaced early in the group’s development. When the question is in reference to classic rock guitarists, then things will often get heated, especially when you have two as different as original guitarist Peter Green and Lindsey Buckingham are from one another. There is a certain camp who will always maintain that Green’s tougher blues-influenced style is preferable to Buckingham’s gentle yet complex folk-picking approach. But it was Lindsey Buckingham’s more pop-obsessive style that arguably made Fleetwood Mac the impossibly ubiquitous act they became in the 1970s.

It could be argued that Buckingham’s fluid and melodic style made it much more acceptable for such an anti-blues rock technique to get popular with the British buying public especially, as Johnny Marr would sound a lot more like Buckingham than most traditional shredders a decade later. Personally, I think one of the best examples of how quietly iconic Buckingham became was this sample by Girl Talk on his infamous Night Ripper record. But you can skip the samples altogether and actually see Buckingham himself at the somewhat surprising venue, the Cendera Center in Fort Worth this Friday.

[wondergirl9847]

I just saw a posting on my Facebook that the Fort Worth show is sold out tonight!

I am not sure how many people it holds as I've never been to this venue before. This link says the hall holds up to 1,100 guests, but not sure if that means seats or what.
