LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM BLASTS OFF ON SATURDAY

Beginning this Saturday in Oklahoma City, Lindsey kicks off presumably the last round of dates in support of his last solo album "Seeds We Sow" and this completely solo experiment he's been testing.  He's also putting out a new solo acoustic live album titled "One Man Show" documenting this experience/experiment.  The recording is of the Des Moines, IA show from this past September 1st.  Lindsey says it's "Live and Raw... and without post production!" Given Lindsey's penchant for noodling in the studio, this is completely out of character for him. Knowing that, this likely sounds amazing and I can't wait to hear it!  The digital only album is set to be released November 13th via itunes.

TUSK ON VINYL

Fleetwood Mac's 1979 album "Tusk" will be re-released on vinyl November 19th. 

Specs:

Fleetwood Mac, Tusk. 2-LP, 140 gram black vinyl pressed at The Record Industry in single-pocket jacket with capacity spine and inner & outer sleeves at Ross Ellis.

Available to pre-order on Amazon $42.92

A BEWITCHING EVENING WITH STEVIE NICKS Last Night in San Francisco

Bunny Ears and all... Stevie and her band made it happen in San Francisco last night at The Revamping benefit to raise funds to help refurbish the Strand Theatre.  Not a costume in sight on stage except for Stevie's Bunny Ears.

7 song setlist kicked off with Rock N Roll (see below).  All the usual suspects were on stage except that Rick Marotta replaced Jimmy Paxon on drums for the gig... Jimmy obviously had other commitements.

For American Conservatory Theater's first Halloween-themed fundraiser on Oct. 27, 2012, party host Ken Fulk (left) and his husband Kurt Wooton (right) invited singer Stevie Nicks to perform for guests. The event, which drew several hundred guests paying $500 to $5,000 a ticket, is expected to raise $250,000 for the theater group.

Stevie Nicks "In Your Dreams" Documentary Screening + Q&A Las Vegas Nov 9th

Stevie Nicks is set to attend Sunset Sessions Las Vegas at The Cosmopolitan Hotel which takes place between November 8th - 10th.  She'll be on hand November 9th to screen her new documentary "In Your Dreams - Stevie Nicks" and also take part in an Interview and Q&A session. The documentary screening and Q&A runs from 8:30pm - 10:30pm at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas according to the Sunset Sessions website.

(FYI, Dave Stewart also has the information posted in the events section of his website, but it's conflicting with the Sunset Sessions info.  Dave has Nov 8th at 4pm for the event but that's actually the start of the first day's Main Stage.)

This is the first time Sunset Sessions has opened the event to the public - so anyone can attend buy purchasing single day passes, or full even passes.  

The full 3 day event schedule can be found on the sunsetsession.org site.

BUY A TICKET

Stevie's screening is part of the Private Sunset Sessions VIP Events.  To gain access to these events, particularly Stevie's screening and Q&A you'll need to support Stevie's charity of choice "Wounded Warriors" buy donating $1,250.  Ticket information 

Tickets to the November 9th main stage for $25 do not include access to the screening and Q&A.

Lindsey Buckingham Releasing First Live Solo Acoustic Album Nov. 13th

Lindsey Buckingham has been traveling throughout the U.S. this year playing intimate, unplugged concerts in support of his 2011 solo album, Seeds We Sow.  Now, the Fleetwood Mac singer/guitarist is set to release one of these performances as a digital download.  Lindsey Buckingham: One Man Show, will be available via iTunes on November 13, and will be the veteran artist's first recording documenting one of his solo acoustic gigs.  The album was recorded at a September 1 show that was held at Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines, Iowa.

"This performance is from a single night in Des Moines…taken right off the console mix, with a couple of room mikes added in," Buckingham says about the album.  "It's live and raw, with no post-production.  I love it!  It captures not only the spirit of the performance, but also the spirit of where I now live as an artist."

The 13-song recording captures Buckingham playing various selections from solo catalog, including "Go Insane" and Trouble," as well as Fleetwood Mac classics like "Go Your Own Way" and "Never Going Back Again."

Buckingham will hit the road for a new series of U.S. solo acoustic shows starting November 3 in Oklahoma City.  Visit LindseyBuckingham.com to check out all of his upcoming tour dates.

Stevie Nicks / Fleetwood Mac fans turned out in noisy numbers + Lindsey Buckingham Live in LA

In Your Dreams Documentary mention:

Hamptons haven: 
Long Island film fest is small but robust
By Doris Toumarkine
Film Journal

"Another surprise came from a Stevie Nicks doc tucked into the appropriately spacious but slightly funky Sag Harbor venue (think theatres of the ’70s and ’80s that housed rock concerts). Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac fans turned out in noisy numbers for the exuberant and thoroughly thrilling docIn Your Dreams—Stevie Nicks, a delicious account of the legendary singer and her collaboration with Eurythmics original and renowned pop producer/musician Dave Stewart. Honest, intimate and music-packed, the film has the charismatic Nicks and Stewart front stage and center as they record their album. Yes, this often seems like a full-length promotional music-video for their latest album, but fans couldn’t ask for more. Both in fact pushed the promotion by appearing for a post-screening interview and the audience went wild (well, not that wild, as it was the Hamptons)."

ALSO...

LINDSEY LIVE IN L.A.

Lindsey Buckingham will be performing in Los Angeles on November 1st at the Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors gala at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza.

If you are interested, tickets can be purchased for the event... A single ticket will set you back $500.  It's to benefit the Board of Governors Cardiac Stem Cell Research Institute.
