He's still so incredibly handsome. What a time. What a band. We'll never see anything close again.
He is close to 70. He looks great!
Every time he plays "never going back again" he plays it a little different, and each rendition feels like a very individual gift.
I love his outfit. Superficial, I know. But he looks good. What a cool dude. Oh and he's an incredible musician and very down to earth. One of my favorite guitarists of all time.
Class act guy and a very underrated guitarist.
Lindsey has always had class not only in his guitar talent which is timeless, but his personality is outstanding throughout the years. I was fortunate to see Fleetwood Mac in 1977 and 1978 in Buffalo NY. Thank you
One of the greatest musicians of all time! Thank you man!
Definitely in the top 10 rock guitarists, so humble, so very talented..Noone else has his style of playing guitar:) A legend that I don't think could ever be copied!!!
no words, AMAZING interview, performances... Gotta love, admire and respect Lindsey Buckingham not only as a legendary guitar player, composer, songwriter, singer, producer, but as an extraordinary human being. Thank you so much for this interview. I ended up in tears with Tusk, remembering the story behind it (his dad's passing). THANK YOU David Belasco and Lindsey Buckingham.
He has always been an underrated guitarist! Ranked 100 on one of the latest polls which is BS! No less than the top 40 in my poll!
Id like to see all the guitarists above him try to sing and play Big Love as killer as Lindsey does. He needs to be at least in the top 3, i only say that coz Tony Iommi will always stay at number 1 for me.
+Charlie Barr He's my number one by a mile. Love him.
Charlie Barr yes i thought the same ..100...👎 boo
Best guitarist's I've ever heard
That was cool. He seems like a great guy. Hes wrote and sung some classic songs, not to mention being a brilliant guitar player
Lindsey is uber talented. I heard most of his latest album with Christine McVie and his Out Of The Cradle album is phenominal. He resurrected Fleetwood Mac when Peter Green left and was smart about keeping it about rock-pop rather than try to continue with the blues. No guitar lessons to this day and he doesn't read music- wow. What a natural talent in the truest sense> I like the way the host asks him to play Never Goin' Back Again.
Lindsey plays that guitar effortlessly its just so mesmerising watching him pick those strings to create such beautiful music...he is a true master of his craft!. Awsome at the end with the band coming on!!!...great to see the younger generations taking an interest in Lindsey and what he has given to this world in terms of musical creativity!!.
Lindsey is a great person. Visiting a university and playing along with their requests like he did. I'm sure some of this was prearranged, but it still took guts with all the unknowns of live unrehearsed performances. Good job Lindsey!
Amazingly good interview thanks to superb chemistry between guest and host. Lindsey handles himself very well and genuinely enjoyed much of the 100 minutes. Having the greatly appreciative audience really added to the great vibe. By far the best interview of its type I have seen.
Awesome that Lindsey Buckingham appears at a venue like this. Music, historical anecdotes.
A cool, mellow down to earth guy.
'What a top notch guy. Thank you very much for your gift of music.
So thankful I got to see this! He's amazing-
Wow! What a treat! Thanks for posting!
I loved the relationship these two formed in this interview. Almost like, a young fan, star struck kid, nervously conversing with a rock-star veteran, as Lindsey has a little fun with his vulnerability he still manages to ask insightful questions about Lindsey's life and career and Lindsey articulates himself perfectly. Very well done interview/interviewer! A great watch! Great audience as well, very lucky!!
since 75 cotton bowl in Dallas, loved Lindsey Buckingham. Hope to see and hear again live while I'm still alive. And no qualudes this time!
Brilliant discourse from Lindsay. Great to hear him relate these things from this honest reflective perspective.
Great interview! He's a music god!
Jason He's a freaking Android
Lindsey hasn't lost a beat singing and on guitar.
love the harshness/yelling in key (sort of lol) that LB developed as he got older in his vocals
This was just beautiful. I love that the appeal of FM and Lindsey crosses all generations. Like many who have posted, I was lucky enough to be there when it started. Like so many of the fans, my love of this band (and each individual member) seems to get stronger over time. How many bands can fill supersized arenas 40+ years after they first hit the scene? It's a never ending love affair. I went full circle seeing the Tusk tour (favorite album, even at that time) at the LA forum in 1980 with my best friend and 35 years later seeing them again (with the entire original band) at the LA forum in 2015 with her daughter, Rhiannon. My only wish is that the current generation would put down their phones and be 100% present in moment. None of those videos come out good anyway...
This guy is just awesome, He is amazing in so many respects. Guitar playing, vocals, interpretation of the song and just an overall professional musical end product. Big respect to you man L B !!
Rumours was the first album i ever bought and still remains the best. this guy is a legend, an inspiration and amazing to boot; there has been other group as good but for the life of me i cant think of one that better.
Great intimate performance, great questions, a once in a lifetime oportunity to be there.
What a great event for those lucky students who where there to be enlightened and entertained by one of the greatest artistic talents of all times...how lucky for us watching this that we live at a time when we can share this experience!
And Tusk totally rocks!!!!!!
A real treat, thanks for posting, Lindsey was born with great talent and always a joy to listen too. My all-time favorite LP is Rumours and I never get bored of it.
I always thought of Buckingham's guitar riffs were almost always haunting and eerie sounding
That was fun. Always liked Lindsey.
Truly wonderful and so underrated.
Thanks Lindsey for the Interview : The ending was awesome
it took me 3 days to watch, but worth every minute. "Tusk"
Awesome video. Lindsey is very cool to everyone and performs excellently. Watch his color when they play a clip of Stevie Nicks circa 1978. The chemistry is palpable as he practically bursts. Fortunately for his happiness he has a lovely wife and kids now. That those songs between them are no accident is clear as Stevie 1978 speaks - ineffably beautiful, sweet, compelling Stevie - and he turns purple. Torment to an artistic soul.
+CD Well said.
+CD ?,every is there own ,its there life not ours ,
+CD Hmmm. I re-watched it at the 52.00 mark, and he is laughing hard at the professor's joke, so that can certainly explain his added color (I don't see purple), and the twinkle in his eye, cause he also has an obvious bond with the professor here, and his sense of humor. I don't know if I see any current romantic torment, as he speaks earlier about how much he hates being away from his wife and kids.
But then again, you are probably more of a close observer of the Lindsey/Stevie interplay than I have been. And also, it was probably both the first major/long-term relationship each other ever had. Plus, Lindsey said in another interview I read, that breaking up with Stevie was one of the reasons he had to leave FM: it was too hard to get closure on the end of relationship when you were working with that person everyday. Didn't he write that beautiful "Goodbye to Love" (or something like that), that he sang to Stevie in concert fairly recently (bringing her to tears)? Certainly ten-plus years after they had broken up?
Okay, thanks. And when was it written, if you happen to know.?..And thanks for not dangling your preposition!
Thanks. I just read that it was written around the time of the "Say You Will" Album? Or song, rather?
I love Stevie and everything, but sometimes I wonder why she gets so much more attention than the other members--case in point, with Lindsey. Also, Christine McVie is attractive and talented. Both are one par with Stevie for songwriting and vocals, I think. Maybe they just didn't want to live in the limelight as much?
Thanks, Lindsey.
I actually teared up at the end. Damn did he deserve that. What a visionary. I need to go play my guitar for a year straight now. K bye.
Same lol especially when he player big love. His thumb never stops playing the same rhythm threw out the song and thats a really tricky skill! And he absolutely blew my mind XD
+Colton Hubbard He did deserve it. Tusk is Lindsey's opus. Personally I love the album Tusk and have all of Lindsey's albums. He looked so happy playing with the USC Marching Band.
***** That's Now my guitar is going in the bin, I can barely chew gum and walk in a straight line never mind open E's and A strings. Plus whenever my guitar comes out my Collie hides behind the sofa, not that I do a Pete Townsend on him with the guitar, God forbid, No it's the noise that I make from it. It must be some primal sound that only Border Collie's can hear, something to do with wolves maybe. Anyway, I digress, Lindsey is my favourite guitarist but if I live to be 300 years old I will never be as good as him.
So great to have this - thank you for sharing!
What a great man!!
Thank YOU, mr. Buckinham, for your "open" attitude and anwsers.
He's such an underestimated musician.! Knowing he never had any guitarlessons and is really THAT great!!
His face when the public applauses! He knows he's good, he knows he's the best. That arrogance is really in place. (Love it.)
I'm really thankfull that i've got the privilege to see him with FM over 4 times..
It was my dream to see FM here in the NL and my dream came out. (Four times 😄)
TO BE AN ARTIST....NOT JUST A CRAFTSMAN DOING BUSINESS! BINGO!
self taught , wow . xxx .
That day must be Emily's best day of her life. She got to see Lindsey Buckingham live, have a conversation with him and to top it all off got her Rumours LP signed..
My favorite Lindsey song is trouble
Great interview and love the musical interludes!
Lindsey, YOU'RE THE BEST! Thanks for posting!
Great interview you know he really seems to have his act together, married, kids, Great producer, song writer, A great musical past. He has gave the music world so much. And his family is his focus..........I really believe when he left FM in 89 or 87?? It was the best move. He's found himself.............Love it..
Soulalonegirl again. Lindsey your BTLH sounds amazing!!!! You are the best ever!!!!!
Very helpful to see how he really splats that first finger like a capo at times.
Awesome, very much enjoyed this, thanks for sharing!!!!!
many times you hear about athletes who have to sacrifice part of there game for team its interesting to hear a musician saying the same thing for a band i believe it he is underated as a guitarist because of band in his case it was worth it
good on you for sticking to your guns on tusk.music must move forward.
I love Christine
That was so cool, awesome post, loved it!
We need "Out of the Cradle" in 5.1 Surround Sound. 25th anniversary in 2017.
Great interviewer! "does the rest of the band just look at the floor?" LOL - always wondered about the nuts and bolts of the odd working arrangement that must have existed during those times.
epic interview and the songs were magical. Pure music and story for the sheer love of it. I liked Bleed to Love Her first time in the 1997 concert and it didnt occur to me at the time that the song was about the band itself. This interview discussed the songs and words exchanged about each other but this song was about things that are compelling but hard to love which are going to cause pain because of it--bleeding. You are going to bleed for whats really important and obviously FM was. You can bleed to love your job, your daughter, your car even. I almost passed up this vid, sure glad I didnt.
One of my great influences. Cool interview
Great interview, although I'm not sure the interviewer nailed all the facts of Fleetwood Mac's history. The members of Fleetwood Mac all contributed monumental elements to the band but Lindsey created "the sound." He is a master producer and guitar player. And I LOVE the shade Lindsey throws at the Eagles. So good.
Love it! Great interview. Thank you.
thnx for sharing . I love this man . Al the things Ariadna Vicente said .Same for me
Class act!
yes, most definitely, ...thanks for sharing this.
loved it !
this is amazing, why wasn't my school like that?
Luv Lindsy
Great interview and performance. I really enjoyed watching this video and learning more about Lindsey who grew up not far from where I did near Sacramento, CA.
LOVED IT!!
ty 4 dis
this was awsome
this was epic! thanks so much for posting! LB, what a star...
Lindsey playing a Les Paul instead of his usual Turner. You dont see that too often.
Damn he is hot. All I have to say!
In every band of equals, someone has to step up to be the benevolent dictator: Lindsey Buckingham, Paul Kantner, Robbie Robertson, Paul McCartney, etc.
Lindsey your pure class .
Once again she steals away
Then she reaches out to kiss me
And how she takes my breath away
Pretending that she won't miss me
Oh I would bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
Oh I would bleed to love her
And once again she calls to me
Then she vanishes in thin air
And how she takes my breath away
Pretending that she's not there
Oh I would bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
Oh I would bleed to love her
Somebody's got to see this through
All the world is laughing at you
Somebody's got to sacrifice
If this whole thing's going to turn out right
Oh I would bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
Oh I would bleed to love her
Excellent video! Lindsey is so cool - and he even has a girls name.
Un grande
Wow... I never knew how good he could play acoustic...
Stu cruise
old enough to spell...
You should watch the acoustic live version of Big Love.
Than you'll understand what the beast is capable off.
You won't believe your eyes
TheSporehacker
Thanks... My favorite mac song was I am so afraid... The fact that Nicks turned out to be the band whore had to break his heart. I think that He and Fleetwood actually made the band but that is just my opinion.
Great interview and awesome guitar playing. You get to know Lindsay more than he let's on in most interviews I have seen. Tusk could have been an excellent one record LP rather than it being an ok 2 LP set. The title track is more memorable than most of the songs on the album. There must be some Rumours reject tracks on it which would still be great nonetheless. However, not like the Stones Exile followed by the great under-rated Goats Head Soup album which would have had some Exile hold over tracks- very diff comparison. Now, Mirage should have followed Rumours in that respect.
Lindsey is one of the all-time trail blazers on acoustic guitar... I'd be honored if some Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover of LANDSLIDE on my channel in tribute to the masters. I based it on the Stevie/Lindsey original version, and NOT on the Dixie Chicks or any of those other covers. Real live acoustic with no pitch editing. Thanks and please pardon the promo.
Sorry to say this Lindsey, but my granddaughter is now into Fleetwood Mac, she's 13, so she says "my grandma got me into Fleetwood Mac." So you are there now...........sorry!
Soulalonegirl instead of TheOctoberspirit, He's my husband. My account is messed up.I SO love Lindsey!!!!!!! I am almost 41 and he's my fave since I was 9. Lindsey is the best ever and my husband and I were lucky enough to have front row seats for Oct. 7 2011 Seeds We Sow tour. Amazing!!!!!!! Check my channel soulalonegirl for footage.
He just called out the Eagles & Band mates 😂😂😂
Hal David was writing lyrics for Burt. But I get his point.
:-)
Anyone else think his speaking voice sounds like a refined toned-down Sebastian Bach?
+YooTooobJeff smart as a whip, he's got it toghther
Great! like James Taylor & Paul Simon could be without their 'emo-compressors' on full time!
He should learn to never date his bandmates.
