And that's sort of what I meant about World Turning. You know, I enjoyed it all this tour. But tonight, ,maybe because it was the end, I saw him standing there saying he just wants someone to get him through the night and in my mind I saw Christine sharing that mic, from days past and I felt this wave of nostalgia. I was so thankful for GOS and how Lindsey has grown so much, just in the last few years. Yet, I was thinking of the past and all that's irretrievable too. I was overcome with such satisfaction and such wistfulness at the same time.

You have summed up the Lindsey experience very well. I didn't see FM in Lindsey's afro stage, I saw him right after that, but I became a fan when Rumours came out and I look back over the years with great fondness. Lindsey represents all the different phases in my life as well and I'm glad for the growth he has made these last few years.
I saw him at the Keswick on Saturday and I was blown away by nostalgia too..
Thanks for your thoughts.

Will

I wonder if Lindsey feels and thinks that way, when he's up there or if he's firmly rooted in the present. Well, when he has flashbacks, I guess it's more likely to happen when he's onstage with FM rather than solo. When Stevie's beside him, it could be 1979 or it could even be Fritz.

Last night I laughed when Lindsey introduced Big Love and said it was the last single before he left the group to regain his sanity. Then he emphasized, "I did regain it," as if we needed convincing.

To his persistent questions, I answer:

Yes, in the morning.

Yes, in the evening and especially when I'm bound to dream!

Those are great. Thanks Pattie. Even at the end, I saw security going up to people and telling them no cameras. As if it mattered at that point!

I was still pretty nervous about taking the camera out at that point. I figured it was the last show however so I went for it. Oh and Photobucket sucks because I did rotate the photos but it is not showing up.

Cool! Same guy that filmed Stevie at Jones Beach last year. He's not as good as others have produced in the filming end of bootlegging, but this will have to do.

And really great job on the pics Pattie!

Oh my goodness! Was that you?

There was a lady who was able to make these chortling calls which started in her throat. It sounded almost like an internal yodel. They got Lindsey's attention and a tall guy in the audience took out his flashlight and turned it on the lady so that Brett and Lindsey could see her from the stage. She then made the warrior calls again and Lindsey marveled that he didn't even know how it was possible.

I saw footage on You tube of and old concert during the Rumours tour. I can't imagine how many flashback possiblities he has considering all his performances over the decades!

It was a great show, it sounded just tremendous.
As much as I would have liked an extra encore, nothing is better than hearing "Remember" as the fadeout on the final song. For indeed I will.

It was probably my most favorite concert I've ever been to (though both Iris Dement shows and the Scritti Politti were even beyond. . .). It'd be hard to describe the energy that was generated, the sense of being in awe of a live talent, and the emotional revelations (the "sweetness" of his singing and phrasing on "Shut Us Down" was so astounding, and he got soooo emotional during it -- and not even in that obviously acting Lindsey way -- that I just burst into tears!).

And of course being so close. I had great seats and I was sure to get right up against the stage in time for Go Your Own Way. I SWEAR at one point Lindsey looked over at me and chuckled. Can't imagine why!? Maybe it was when I said "Wagner would be proud!" Anyway, another nice bit was when Lindsey thanked the audience for being so great and mentioned it was the last show, somebody yelled out: "Thank you for saving us a place". . . Lindsey was impressed by the pun.

ETA: Oh, yeah, and who was that woman who got engaged at the previous night's show (during "Shut Us Down"?)? Is she a Ledgie or anything? Anyway, if she's reading: Congrats! I remembered you from the AC show when you kept saying: "It's going to be a great day!"

Buckingham Wraps Tour in New York

Lindsey Buckingham wrapped up his third solo tour last night (October 19th) in New York City's Nokia Theatre in the heart of Times Square. In addition to songs from his solo catalogue including numbers from his latest album, Gift Of Screws, Buckingham tore through such Fleetwood Mac classics as "Tusk," "I Know I'm Not Wrong," "Never Going Back Again," "Big Love," "World Turning," "I'm So Afraid," "Go Your Own Way," and "Second Hand News."

Buckingham's new album, Gift Of Screws, features songs co-written with his wife Kristin and his 10-year-old son Will. We asked him if after becoming a family man later in life, there was a specific moment when he realized that he had made his wife and kids a priority above his music: "I found myself in the situation before I was fully acclimated to it, I think, y'know? It just... It didn't sink in right away because old patterns do die hard. I can't say that I remember a particular moment, but I do know that one of the great joys and comforts of being a father in particular -- and a spouse as well -- is that you sort of have this biological imperative that you know that you would put them first in any situation."

Gift Of Screws, which was released last month, features appearances by Fleetwood Mac bandmates John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. After a five-year hiatus, Fleetwood Mac is expected to hit the road sometime in 2009.

The Nokia is totally built for sound, I'm sure the vid this guy has is amazing.

I thought AC beat for energy, but for sound quality this can't be beat. And Time Precious Time ... well I'd like to revote GoS now after experiencing that last night.

One sad note. One fan felt it necessary to snare Lindsey's setlist. The roadie was really upset about it, even called security, so I'm sure it really means something to LB. I collect setlists, but I would never do that without being handed it. But if the person who got the two "legal" copies from the roadies lives here at the Ledge, please post a scan!
