Not sure I will wanna read about this show. I was 'sposed to be there, but crazy happenings led to me moving back to my homestate and I ended up giving my ticket to a friend. She loves Fleetwood Mac, especially Lindsey, so there's a comfort atleast.

I told her she'll become a fan of LB solo after the show, no doubt.

@HBSSTX I embraced Lindsey Buckingham's calf with both hands. He gave me his sweaty towel. @VZNWTheater @Nickslive #Houston http://yfrog.com/hw9xnbj

@HBSSTX Also, security tried to take me away from the front of the stage but Lindsey Buckingham pushed him away! @VZNWTheater @Nickslive #Houston

@John_Royal Lindsey Buckingham concert tonight was fantastic. Best live version of "Go Your Own Way" I've ever heard him do, w/ or w/out Fleetwood Mac.

That was awesome! I hope someone got a vid of Lindsey chasing the security guard away lol I've never seen Lindsey so mad. He was also yelling ( but I couldn't hear him over the band ) but I believe I saw the fbomb a couple of times! The crowd in the first 5 rows center absolutely sucked. No one stood or even clapped until the FM hits. I think that's why he got so excited when the 2 ladies ran to the front of the stage. When security tried to make them leave he was so pissed and yelled and ran the guy off!

Lindsey and the band were perfection. Personal highlights for me were Stars Are Crazy and All My Sorrows ( loved Brett and Neale's harmonies especially ). All in all it was a great show except for the crowd around me. I really don't understand what happened to the Dallas date at the Granada Theater, imo it would have been a much better venue.

THE WILDHEART music from my collection of albums, cds and even a few t

“An Evening with Lindsey Buckingham” is like a hidden gem

The crowd was silvery-haired, young and old, but that did not stop them from rocking out to “An Evening with Lindsey Buckingham” Sunday night at the Verizon Wireless Theater in Houston, TX.

The Fleetwood Mac guitarist opened the night with Shut Us Down from Buckingham’s 2006 release Under the Skin – a nice subtle opener minus the bells and whistles of his backup band. Buckingham then quietly launched into his 1984 hit Go Insane. Go Insane, stylistically-speaking, is an almost-homage to his music he made in 1973 with then-girlfriend Stevie Nicks on their album Buckingham Nicks.

Lindsey is like the antihero rockstar. He’s an underrated but nevertheless extremely gifted guitar player, vocalist and songwriter. He proved this when he launched into the Fleetwood Mac classic Never Going Back Again from the ever-popular Fleetwood Mac classic album Rumours. Buckingham sings with such beauty and emotion it’s almost like he cries through the song. This has the audience eating out of his hands.

Buckingham lamented during the night about how, as a child, he learned how to play the guitar by listening to his older brothers’ record collections.

The true highlight of the evening was when Buckingham started performing an acoustic version of the 1987 mega-hit Big Love. However, before launching into the performance, he explained the meaning of the song: that it has become an echo to him because it was where he was in life during the writing and making of the song.

However, the evening really took off when Buckingham’s backup band took the stage for such songs as Still In My Mind and Illumination. Everyone in the audience loved Buckingham’s rendition of Tusk and even chanted along to the ever-popular chorus.

Buckingham ended the night with 2 encore performances:a high energy performance of Treason from his 2008 solo effort Gift of Screws and the title track of his latest album Seeds We Sow. The latter was like a message of hope.
