NEW Unseen Rumours Tour Video Australia Nov, 1977 Fleetwood Mac "Oh Well"

Another piece of Mac history surfaced over night.... Oh Well performed in Australia November, 1977. Read the comments below by the video poster, head on over to Youtube, leave a comment and request what you would like to see next. This is awesome stuff!!





Here is another great track from the 1977 Fleetwood Mac 'Rockarena' tour of Australia. This one is aimed at all the Lindsay Buckingham fans out there.


Unfortunately this concert was not lit for television and this track had a lot of 'blackouts' for stage visual effects - not good for the tv camera's. So I had to do a lot more editing (and did it at a higher quality).so hopefully you all will approve.

The next track I will work on will be either a Stevie or a Chrissie. Well it keeps me off the streets eh!
Here is the whole concerts track listing; maybe you choose?

- Say You Love Me
- Monday Morning
- Dreams
- Oh Well
- Rhiannon
- Oh Daddy
- Never Going Back Again
- Landslide
- Over My Head
- Gold Dust Woman
- You Make Loving Fun

Fleetwood Mac mastermind Lindsey Buckingham at Town Hall NYC 9/27

Wall Street Journal - September 21, 2011

Lindsey Buckingham "Seeds We Sow" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stars

Lindsey Buckingham
Seeds We Sow
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stars

Seeds We Sow really could be an analogy for the life of Lindsey Buckingham. He is seen as successful, supremely talented, driven but with that little edge that has been the subject of many a Rock documentary.

Seeds We Sow is the sixth solo album by the man more known as the creative force behind some of Fleetwood Mac’s finest moments including the fantastic Go Your Own Way, Second Hand News, the brutal sounding Tusk and Caroline. Some of the most personal moments of his life have been recorded for posterity and listened to millions of times over world-wide and in Seeds We Sow, it seems as though that incredible trend continues.

The gentle sounding opening of the title track hides the vision of the macabre, don’t let the refinement of Lindsey’s finger skills on the guitar fool you, to understand the man, sometimes you have to go beyond the aural and pour over his carefully placed words, there can’t be too many musicians who will invoke the name of Edgar Allen Poe alongside the ghoulish Medicine Man in any of their songs.

That’s the point of Lindsey’s music though; it demands that you take in every aspect, not just the playing of one of the top rated musicians of his and other generations but the feeling, the depth that pours out of his sole and into people’s rooms throughout the world. At this, he is one of the finest exponents of his craft.  

From the downbeat  title track ofSeeds We Sow, the album has its buoyant moments that just sing and even venture in the realms of whimsy, especially on the childlike bedtime song That’s the Way That Loves Goes. The beautiful mental picture that Lindsey perfects with his guitar is raised as he goes out of the subtle whimsy into full blown rock, the song is a modern masterpiece in the vein of Steve Hackett.

For those that hanker for the type of recording that he produced on the Gift of Screws which had the bonus of having fellow Fleetwood Mac cohorts John Mcvie and Mick Fleetwood appear on the album are missing the point, sometimes you have to make a personal statement away from those you grew up with, it may be the hardest thing you do but in the end the results speak for themselves.

Seeds We Sow is a genuine modern masterpiece, outstanding in every department and the best thing Lindsey has done since the classic line up of Fleetwood Mac.

More Stevie Nicks at the ET Emmy After Party




Bravo's Andy Cohen was spotted sings along to Stevie Nicks' performance of Landslide a few feet from the stage at the Entertainment Tonight party presented by Visit California. Inside the Vibiana Cathedral, "Welcome to church," she said.

Stevie performed Rhiannon, Landslide, a cover of Led Zeppelin's Rock N' Roll, before closing with Edge of Seventeen.

We hit the Governor's Ball and then hightailed it to see Stevie Nicks at the ET party. Stevie gave it hard and bangly and witchy with a set that opened with "Rhiannon" and brought down the place with "Edge of Seventeen." Go see Stevie if you get the chance. 

From ET's Monday evening broadcast summing up the Emmy's and the after party... Stevie was seen on the show singing some of the following:
  • Stand Back
  • Dreams
  • Rhiannon
  • Landslide
  • Gold Dust Woman
  • Rock N Roll
  • Edge of Seventeen

Review: Lindsey Buckingham Live in Milwaukee 9/17/11

That recognizable curly mop of hair above the high forehead is fully gray now, and the man himself is just shy of his 62nd birthday, but Lindsey Buckingham moved about like a frenzied teenager while playing like the experienced master guitarist he is at the Pabst Theater Saturday night.

Best known for revitalizing the blues-rock sound of Fleetwood Mac starting in the '70s, along with then-partner Stevie Nicks, Buckingham has just released his sixth studio album, Seeds We Sow. The lively crowd was there to hear "the hits," and Buckingham delighted with innovative arrangements of the classics as well as stirring live versions of the new works, backed by his solid trio of band mates—Neale Heywood on guitars, Walfredo Reyes Jr. on drums and percussion and Brett Tuggle on bass, keyboards and guitar. This small lineup created a sound that easily rivaled bands with far more personnel (and far less personality).

Buckingham clearly differentiated between his big commercial successes with Fleetwood Mac, referring to that period of his career as "The Big Machine," and his solo work, which he equated to "The Small Machine." Rather than just recreate slick studio sounds, Buckingham stripped out the high production values and simply faced the audience, solo, guitar in hand, for gorgeous, passionate renderings of Mac hits like "Never Going Back Again" and "Big Love." All the more impressive were solo hits like "Go Insane" and the top-10 hit "Trouble," with Buckingham bringing out a completely different side of the songs with his ghostly, faint tenor and deft guitar work.

2 Reviews: Lindsey Buckingham Live in Chicago 9/18/11

Lindsey Buckingham goes his own way, with intensity

Fleetwood Mac's 1979 masterpiece "Tusk" features a famously unusual credit: "Special thanks from the band to Lindsey Buckingham." Buckingham, of course, had by then already been a member of the band for some time. Yet that credit emphasized that Buckingham brought something more than the mere practical merits of his singing, songwriting, production and guitar playing to the group. That ineffable something was in full effect Sunday night, when Buckingham played a modestly attended but very enthusiastic Vic in support of his album "Seeds We Sow," the latest salvo in a particularly fruitful period of his sporadic solo career.

If Buckingham's various talents mesh perfectly in the context of Fleetwood Mac, watching him on his own provided an illuminating vantage into his particular genius. For close to two hours, Buckingham -- first solo then later with a small band -- seamlessly integrated his graceful folk and manic Baroque sides, with the fusion of those two approaches resulting in songs such as "Turn It On" and "That's the Way Love Goes," rousing pop tunes delivered with an idiosyncratic sensibility.

Lindsey Buckingham live!
By Andy Argyrakis
Illinoiseentertainer  

Lindsey Buckingham’s a great, albeit underrated, guitarist and he knows it. Perhaps that’s why he opened the Chicago stop of his Seeds We Sow tour with a one-man acoustic set that amply showcased his nimble (though occasionally self-indulgent) frethand and well-persevered vocal pitch. Whether it was solo staples like “Go Insane” and “Trouble” or Fleetwood Mac’s “Never Going Back Again,” the 61-year-old was in superb form, ushering in a welcome sense of intimacy often lost on his full-time band’s arena tours.

In solo contexts, Fleetwood’s “Big Love” was rearranged as a fiery finger-picker undercut by impassioned wails, which have since replaced the hokey ’80s production and synthesizer overdose. The newer “Under The Skin” was a little less magnetic given its meandering, middling approach, though Buckingham’s vocals demonstrated additional warmth and closeness.

Review: Lindsey Buckingham at Pantages, 9/16/11 Minneapolis

A man as obviously aware of his significance in musical history as he is of his relative obscurity as a solo artist - in comparison to his former band, and his former bandmate/partner Stevie Nicks - Lindsey Buckingham's approach to the stage just after 8 p.m. at the Pantages Friday night was an appropriate one, his lithe body popping into sight with no-nonsense aplomb before the house lights had even completely dimmed, giving a quick "Namaste" bow to the intimate audience gathered to take in the beginning of his tour in support of a new album, Seeds We Sow.

I imagine he's just as aware of his indisputable talent not only as a songwriter and producer, but also of his still-strong skills as a vocalist and guitarist, starting out his set with fiercely finger-picked guitar work matched equally by fiercely emotional vocals on "Shut Us Down," the eighth track off his 2006 album Under the Skin. His solo start to the performance was as intense as if he'd had a full band backing him.

Guitar nerds and rock fans theater-wide absolutely lost it right off the bat, and with perfectly good reason.  From the first song 'til the last, Buckingham's performance was all dynamics and emoting. Man, this man can emote, through the power with which he plucks those strings, his personal and emotional lyrics and their passion in delivery. Add these qualities to his widely-renowned abilities as one of the most gifted songwriters of our time, and his performance was just moving. And this audience moved right along with him, from start to finish.

Even on tunes popularized in their full band arrangements (think Fleetwood Mac songs like "Big Love"), Buckingham was able to carry the songs with just his acoustic, and his voice. Heavy. It takes a lot of verve to carry that sort of power onstage alone, unsupported and unbacked-up by a band as he was Friday until a third of the way through his set when a band (and a set of glitzier lights) joined him. It was impressive.
