Back then, I was in the mindset that I couldn't go on my own anywhere (I'm an only child, and my mom is VERY overprotective), even though Seteca was like "Why don't you go?!" and I was all "I can't go by myself."

My mom grew up with a hateful mother, and I know she doesn't wanna be like her. She and her mother are NOT close, and she wants to be close with me because of that...I understand that. I just feel smothered sometimes.

Sorry about the rant, I just needed to vent, I guess.

No need to apologize, Christy... we all need to get things off of our chest from time to time.
It is definitely a shame that you didn't get to attend the Soundstage taping. You'd have had a great time, I'm sure, and, sweetheart that you are, you most definitely deserved that opportunity.

I do think you're still going to have some great chances to see him solo though. I don't have any inside scoop or anything, but I have a feeling that he will do some kind of tour... how ever small... at some point in the not-too-distant future. And the nice thing is, those shows will be every bit as special and intimate as the Soundstage performance.

I do, too, Mari. I'm very excited for this show, even though I have a feeling the one song I'm most looking forward to seeing... "Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind"... might not make it on the broadcast.
But I'm sure it'll be included on the DVD, so I can be patient until then.

Come to think of it, I can't wait to see "Murrow" either, and to hear how it translated to the stage.

We're definitely in for a treat.

I'd much rather see Holiday Road, but what are the chances on that one, eh

Not too good, I'd say, since he didn't play it!

Too bad though, because it would have been great to see.

If anyone had to crash the party, I would rather it be Ms. Nicks because I know her and am a fan. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer it be all Buckingham all the time. When was the last time he did any sort of solo performance? There was the Here Comes the Sun thing, but before that, I don't know of any after 1992. It's like she's his security blanket. He should do something, sometime that's just him.

I agree with everything you said except the Brian Wilson comment and this:

It's like she's his security blanket.

Bassackwards my friend.

Yes, he did ask her to be there. I don't think it was because he needed her draw for PBS. He wanted her there. I'd have preferred him alone because we rarely get that. If we are blaming anyone for it then blame Lindsey. He asked her. She did it. I'm cool with it

[Gwillaker]

One of America's most renowned and successful bands?

Anyway, you sure it didnt say "September 8, 3005"?

Sorry for the sarcasm, I'd love to see this!

It's in the eye of the beholder.

As for the Brian Wilson thing, you don't believe me that I don't know him or his music well?

No. I believe you. It doesn't apply to me. That's all.

[trackaghost]

Oh and you've never taken the condescending route Lux?
I was actually making a joke.
Some people may have been making a preference, but others came across to me as complaining. It's such a negative way to look at it. I mean, shouldn't we be celebrating the fact that we actually get to see a Lindsey concert at all?
Whatever. Complain away if you wish.

[trackaghost]

I guess that's a matter of opinion Lux.
I certainly at times have felt I was being talked down to by you.
Anyway, let the discussion resume. I didn't mean for this to turn serious.

Give Lindsey the attention he deserves here on his forum, and you'd no longer have to be bothered with our inane little conversations!

I already rarely bother with the inane "Sister of the Boob" ****, the threads about her overbite, and the conversations about which hairstyle was her best one. They don't interest me. Paula's "Like or Dislike" threads have been the best things to hit that forum in a long time, they're actually interesting and discuss her music. Granted, there are only so many things people can talk about before they begin to work their way into circles, but I'll be the judge of what I'll read and won't read.

It's easy for you to say "Give Lindsey the attention he deserves here on this forum" when the guy doesn't release any material, make appearances, do live shows, or give us anything remotely new to talk about these days. I'm uninterested in talking about his ex-girlfriends (and seeing threads I can't really participate in because I know zilch about guitars), just as I'm uninterested in talking about Stevie's dental imperfections.

Now, if she had trotted out "Rhiannon" or "Stand Back," I could see where you're coming from.

Crikey. You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.

You own all of Stevie's solo albums, so I'm quite surprised that you need me to make you laugh.

Yeah, it didn't have the same bite as "I'm only happy when it rains..." I suppose.

-10 for me.

There you go again. Putting words in my mouth. I wasn't aware that by saying I was sick of Stevie and would have loved a Lindsey only show, I was also saying that "Stevie has gone and ruined Lindsey's rare chance in the spotlight."

I also wasn't aware that I was blaming anyone but Lindsey. It feels as if words were deposited in my mouth by someone else...again.

Off topic - wait, no, back on topic? Whatever...

WNED (the Buffalo PBS affiliate) finally has it scheduled for Saturday 10/8 at 1am. Better than nothing, I suppose.

I just came back here to post that very info! (I was away for a week; missed this). I can't believe they've finally scheduled it!!! Especially after they said they likely wouldn't. Maybe it was the impromptu email campaign launched by several of us...

lindeybuckingham.com reporting that Lindsey's management has approved the September 8 airdate, so I guess it's official.

At the taping, a couple of memories:
Lindsey complaining that his new shoes were too tight.
When the show started off with Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind, I knew it was going to be special.
Fans calling out for Holiday Road and Neale Heywood playing a few chords and sharing a laugh with Lindsey (apparently, Neale suggested that it be in the set, but obviously it did not make the cut).
Someone yelled out Miranda and Lindsey stated he has never played that song before (obviously he meant Live).
After a short break, Brett Tuggle was nowhere to be found. Showed up a few minutes later complaining about the chili he had earlier in the day.
Hearing Murrow live was great, as was the scaled back version of Trouble was magnificent (the best version I've ever heard). These versions were so fresh, it was like I had never heard them before.
Down on Rodeo was a pleasant surprise. I think he omitted the "can you hear me Annie" from the live version.
Lindsey probably could have played longer, but wanted to be with his wife (winking and saying "if you know what I mean") before she flew back to California.
Gosh, I hope they put this show on DVD, including the audience requests of Save Me a Place and Bleed to Love Her.
