Lindsey Buckingham = God?

Saw Lindsey Buckingham last night. WOW! He was amazing!

I leaned over to Ron at one point and commented "He reminds me of Jeffery Altergott..."

We also amused ourselves by trying to guess which of the old Fleetwood Mac songs he performed were written about Stevie "I have always been a storm" Nicks. Pretty much everything from "Rumours" and "Tusk," we figured. Oh, and "Go Insane," for sure.

I saw him around 1990 on the "Out of the Cradle" tour (I think that was the year). Anyway, he was the opening act for Tina Turner at an outdoor ampitheatre outside of Kansas City. I was more excited to see him. Three songs in, my best friend from high school turned to me and said, "OK. You are right. He is one of the most underrated guitarist out there." Amazing stuff.

I can't find it, but he is nuts. A few days ago there was and article on-line somewhere about how he canceled a show in Lincoln, NE complaining about the sound gear. They referenced an earlier article where he was quoted as saying the gear didn't matter, it was about connecting with the audience and playing the music. They called him a DIVA. I just think he writes good music.

Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that. I thought there was something wrong with the sound on the first few numbers, but one of the people with me said "He's a total sonic perfectionist; that's exactly how he wants it to sound."
