Elle, I went to go buy tickets last night and they were completely sold-out! Damn.

Consider, with some sensitivity, that Lindsey is a perfectionist, and not one who would loosely abide to requests, and perform songs off the cuff. Some artists are amiable to it, but that goes against his established character and work ethic. If, by a long shot, he did perform a new song, he would have prepared for it. It's his choice, not some objectionable audience member. It would be unprecedented if a new and unreleased/unfinished Fleetwood Mac song made it's debut as a Lindsey Buckingham solo song. The best I would hope for is if he took stock in his solo work, with a good sampling from all of his solo albums -- songs he hasn't performed in a while, or has never performed. You would think he'd want take a breather from all the songs he's been performing with Fleetwood Mac, and do something special and unique. But I would bet money that Big Love, I'm So Afraid, Go Your Own Way, Never Going Back Again, I Know I'm Not Wrong, and Tusk will remain as the mainstays in his set.

Thirdly, I believe your tone might be a bit hostile in the first paragraph and your use of the word objectionable. I think you are confusing someone calling out for something new or a deep cut to the drunk guy yelling "go your own way" after every song. There is a difference and they are miles apart. Lastly your point about a new song being debuted live via Lindsey solo - completely true. That said there has been only ONE new release since Lindsey has toured regularly so we're in new territory. Also I would point you to the Best Buy tour 97 CD in which each band member had a song listed with a solo credit and Lindsey's was Steal Your Heart Away which we all likely know ended up as a Fleetwood Mac song on Say You Will - not live but actually a precedence for a song debut as solo. Apologies if I misread your tone and I do agree that you don't want to disrespect the thought that he will have already put into coming up with a setlist but I don't believe this is a band or person that shouldn't hear that we don't just need Go Your Own Way, Trouble, Tusk, Go Insane, etc.

i suspect he is not planning this performance too much, he probably ran into Judd last week and said yes sure i'll do it, on the fly, since his performance was not announced when this date was first booked but the expensive tickets sold up within hours after Judd tweeted that Lindsey has been added to the show. i suspect there will be others performing too, so he probably doesn't need to plan the whole set. i would be shocked if he did GYOW or ISA, at least not the way he was doing them during OMS; i think he'll do purely acoustic set like he did at previous event he did with Judd (which was This is 40 opening party). but either way i'm curious and can't wait to hear the reports from people who are going! how cool is it that you all get to unexpectedly see Lindsey solo in the middle of the Mac tour!!

I can see how if it's done in an obnoxious way it could be annoying to the artist, and maybe to Lindsey's need for control… but I think he's mellowed out a whole lot over the years, and honestly, people calling out for certain of your songs, especially the songs that AREN"T the big hits, is kind of flattering, and I think he may also see it that way. People are actually aware of your deeper cuts, like them, want to hear them.. what better way to know that your music is getting out there to "the right ears" and is appreciated. There has to be some sense of satisfaction in that.

Nice. Thanks for the tweets.
Elle, when you predicted the songs would be NGBA, Big Love and Go Insane, where were you getting Go Insane from? I mean I know he would do that connected to Big Love, but he hasn't in awhile. Michele |

can't wait for a few people who were there to post some details. apparently he started by saying that it's a school night so he'll just do 3 songs and get out of there. (that getting outta here is as bad as burning the bridges! he never learns ) and he had to stop the song and go back to adjust his own amplifier while announcing Stan is already on the road so couldn't be there. i like spontaneous moments like that. and reinforces what vivfox said, how he really didn't have to do this, and had to be completely self-sufficient and tech-less, yet he went and did it anyway. i like that. wonder whether 2 guitars he had with him are back-ups or will they go on the road with him, considering the rest of the equipment is probably already packed and on its way.

The Show was good. I should have done more research since apparently the Judd and friends shows are usually a few folks doing about 30 minutes each so there were three stand up sets (Judd, Kevin Nealon, and Chris D'Elia) as well as Lindsey's performance - he went up between Kevin and Chris. I was a bit disappointed since I think the show was sold as Lindsey headlining a Judd and friends night whereas he was onstage *maybe* 15 minutes compared to everyone else doing at least twice that (the overall show was a little more than 2 hours). All that said, he did great and it was just him (as mentioned no assistants, no roadies, nothing) and the comedy bits were really great. Had I gone in expecting this format I think the night would have been amazing and it was for charity so I'll keep my disappointments grounded.
The Audience age was a good mix - I'd say it was majority people in their 30s.
