Never Before Seen Video of Fleetwood Mac "Go Your Own Way" Rumours Tour Sydney Australia
WOW! Well this stopped me in my tracks... And this almost makes me cry the quality is so great!....
FLEETWOOD MAC - Rumours Tour
Sydney, Australia November, 1977
"GO YOUR OWN WAY"
Video description:
"One of many songs Fleetwood Mac played from their fabulous 'Rumors' Album. Recorded at ROCKARENA in November 1977 in Sydney, I was the OB supervisor of the concert and had the pleasure of meeting the band when they came to the OB van at the end of the concert to watch the performance. We were not allowed to take an audio feed from the desk so we set up 2 shotgun mikes at the speaker towers so think of it as a 'live' concert. I have done a bit of video editing on it to make it more presentable.
I have many stories from this concert; enough to write a book! This video is from my 'never been seen on TV' vault and I thought it was about time I shared it with others.
Do you want more?"
Uhm... YES WE DO Mr. OB Supervisor!
Go to youtube leave your comments and let it be known you'd like to see more footage from this show... What a treasure this is!
Review: Lindsey Buckingham Live in Minneapolis Sept 16th
"His self-taught fingerpicking style, with a clean and bright tone, creates a distinctive sound that unites his work from his 1970s records with Fleetwood Mac to the present."
Sometimes rock stars seem to regard their job as a chore, or a sacred duty—but the best performances come from people who just seem to love what they do, and consider themselves lucky to be doing it. When the performer has talent, charisma, and restless creativity, those of us offstage are lucky too. Such was the case with both of the performers I saw on Friday night: 23-year-old local singer-songwriter Caroline Smith, and 62-year-old rock legend Lindsey Buckingham. Both have just released strong new albums, and both seemed to be having the times of their respective lives.
Buckingham was first, taking the stage at the Pantages just a few minutes after 8:00. It was my first time seeing Buckingham perform—with or without his band Fleetwood Mac—and while I certainly didn't expect a bad show, I was surprised by the energy, focus, and bounding enthusiasm Buckingham brought to the stage with his three-piece touring band. Like David Byrne of the Talking Heads does, Buckingham worked his old band's big hits into a solo set with inventiveness and intelligence, shedding new light on both bodies of work.
Fleetwood Mac's astounding commercial success—the band still gets together every once in a while for tours during which, as Buckingham put it on Friday, "commerce is robust"—has bought Buckingham the freedom to do whatever the hell he wants, when he wants as a solo artist. What he wants to do right now, it seems, is to keep making new music.

Review: Lindsey Buckingham should have shut up & let his guitar do the talking
Lindsey Buckingham may be more in touch with his feminine side than any other male guitar hero.
He manifested his considerable guitar prowess Friday night at the packed Pantages Theatre. And he also talked about his feelings. His life. His philosophies. His career. His new album. Himself. Too much.
Buckingham is a piece of work. No need to critique and psychoanalyze your songs before you play them, dude. Just shut up and play.
He did play. Plenty. It was a mix of stuff from his solo career and from the Fleetwood Mac catalog. He didn’t say much at all about the Big Mac except after some guy shouted out something about where’s Stevie Nicks, Buckingham said, "Unfortunately for that one gentleman, Stevie’s not in [this band]. What show is he at?"

"Most of the night, Buckingham’s guitar work was heavy on mesmerizingly swirling repetition but he cut loose and soared with rock ‘n’ roll abandon on "Go Your Own Way" to the delight of the Mac-loving fans, who offered several standing ovations during the concert."
