    McVie's bass has to be one of THE most iconic bass line's of all time. And the thing about Lindsey is there is NO ONE that plays a guitar like he does. It's absolutely sheer brilliance how he does it. It's extraordinary. The complimentary action between both of them here is epic.

    Wanted to add 2 points. Lindsey himself has said many times that Fleetwood Mac was a puppy on recordings , but turned into a pitbull on stage. Having seen the band live 7 times I have witnessed this tornadic energy of his being unleashed on stage. It is truly something to behold. Glad I've got tickets to see him solo in October.
    Second point is funny. I read an Instagram post from some young man that stated, "The reason I thought I couldn't play Never Going Back Again is that it has 2 guitars. Turns out it's one and I'm not Lindsey Buckingham."

      For sure ... he was as dynamic a guitarist on stage as any I ever saw (there are many I haven't seen). Angus Young is certainly active, Prince was a great showman, Hendrix has showy moments (yeah ... saw him), Townsend, Morello is surprisingly flashy, ... but Buckingham was at least their equal in owning the stage visually as well as sonically. He seemed very athletic (as did Prince - less so Townsend, although his moves are iconic).
      Just glad to see someone remark about his stagemanship.

    My wife and I saw Fleetwood Mac about three years ago and Lindsey Buckingham really shines in a live context. On record, he only plays what's need for the song when it comes to lead guitar, often underplaying. His finger picking for rhythm work is top notch both live and on recordings.

    Fil, you're "spot on" in your analysis of Lindsey in that he is , in my opinion as well unfortunately, one of the most talented and underrated guitarists and vocalists of our time. Thank you for acknowledging this, and thank you for all of your videos. Very insightful and educational. I'm a drummer, but appreciate your analysis of guitar work as well.
    Also love your covers and music as well. Always have loved the 80s metal, which I think your music sounds much like. Thank you for keeping it alive!

    I just seen your recent Big Love By Lindsey, and you mentioned more Mac, I rushed to this, Its so easy for people to rag that they sold out after Stevie and Lindsey joined . They were no long er blues. Or better yet they are Pop music, that is crap. They are straight up rock. Lindsey plays his ass off. The bass line is perfect. And the voices of Lindsey and Stevie were meant and are still meant to harmonize the way the do. Sadly they may never again. Mick is a beast and Christine is an angel on keyboards her version of Song bird, makes me cry. This is an awesome band thank you for the shout out. I can watch old performances all the way up to the dance. You should watch Silver Springs from The Dance concert. watching the long played out never ending emotion between them as she sings to him and his guitar sings for her. Thanks Fil!!!! OUTSTANDING CHOICE!!!

    I've always hated how much drugs took over the entire '79/'80 tour. However, it always amazed me that no matter how bad drugs took over on that tour, they were all musically so on and tight. The first live album I ever bought was Fleetwood Mac Live in 1981 when I was just 13 and I have always felt it has the absolute BEST "I'm So Afraid" solo. It's the solo that convinced me that Lindsey was underrated and use that very version as an argument breaker.

      Buckingham isn't underrated among guitar players.

It is interesting to compare his style with that of Mark Knopfler, another renowned fingerpicker.

    Feels good to listen to this recognition of Lindsey Buckingham's abilities, both as a guitar player and as a terrific singer as well. And I myself feel confirmed in my opinion that LB is much of a musician for musicians. You will hear no special effects, no pyro technics, no salto mortale, no shredding notes in tiny particles, just contributing all his skills "to the bigger picture", as he himself told us in some other video. Call it underrated - I call it misunderstood.

    LOVE THIS, Fil -- wow, it's just mind-bending from beginning to end -- just an unmatched ensemble of incredible musicianship, all around! I think Fleetwood Mac's live performances were better than their studio recordings, by far! "The Dance" from 1997, is one of my favorite Mac live albums -- it just lifts you up into a sound cloud of melody & doesn't let you go until the last note is played!☄🎶 Seeing them in concert is an experience one never forgets...
    Thank you Fil -- you beam when you watch Lindsey Graham -- must be so satisfying to see & hear musicians who have such an unmistakable love & respect for their craft, as well as their audience! Great analysis, as always!

      I prefer the 1982 Mirage Tour performance. That is available as well and a more authentic performance. I liked The Dance but it seemed more choreographed and put together for television. The 1982 performance is in your face Fleetwood Mac. All the power, their interpersonal relationships with one another, the musical perfection, the spontaneity is all being displayed here on stage. They are interacting with each other onstage what they can't do offstage. Look at the interaction between Nicks and Buckingham during Sister Of The Moon. Remember their relationship had crumbled at this point in time. It's real life drama on stage as they continue to deliver incredibly musically. I'm So Afraid is so powerful. It's my favorite Mac song and this is my favorite version to date of it. Amazing!

    Great review of a great and very underrated guitarist! He's got many fantastic parts worth looking at across 30 or 40 years of material. My favorite is the extended intro that goes into "Monday Morning" from their 1980 live album, Fleetwood Mac Live. Its an amazing showcase of his talent which shows his fusion of rock, country and blues elements. I had a guitar teacher break it down for me when I was first learning guitar 30 years ago, and we both had a great time trading those licks. Check it out! Cheers!

    He is also a producer, and if you listen to the layering on their super pop albums it is really masterful.

    @skybluemarshall 6 лет назад +2

    Nice to hear you mention the bassline. Songs like this support, what I have always believed. You don't have to be a virtuoso on the bass to stand out and create a memorable perfomance . Nice melodic bass lines and catchy bass hooks will stay with the audience for a long time. It doesn't matter how simple the part. Paul McCartney was the master of melodic bass line. The two bass players for The Pretenders were good examples of hook masters. There are a handful of Pretenders songs, where you can instantly recognize the song, just by the bass hook. I call bass players like that, "scene stealers". The band is saying, "Hey man, that sounds pretty good. Play that part again. It goes good with the melody". Meanwhile, the bass player is thinking, "You're damn right it does! Fools! I just stole your stupid little song about your boring ex-girlfriend. Now my plans are complete. Muahahaha!"

    The ability to express the feeling of each note is all within the aspect of timing. And whether it is comedy, acting, or playing music timing is absolutely everything but the sad truth is it cannot be taught it has to be something you are born with. My sister used to play the piano and though she could technically play each note, as it was written, you would recognize the song but because she didn't have the innate sense of timing every tune she played sounded totally wooden. Great speakers are also experts in timing because they just don't talk words they will punch out a word to give it some power while carrying others for maximum sentimental effect. They will use their voices in a similar fashion to singers in that they will lower their voices to impress upon you a feeling of intimacy pulling you in by making you feel that the message is just for you. Then, after a pause they will slowly begin to raise their voices until, in the end, they are belting out a phrase declaring that the whole world deserves to know; again just like a great singer who will carry a note to project the feeling they are trying to portray on to their audience. I don't know if you have heard Martin Luther King's speech I have a Dream but check it out because it is, in the vein that I am talking, probably the greatest speech (politics aside) ever given. If you listen you can hear the old Gospel music as he speaks it is quite amazing. Lastly, if you listen very carefully you will notice that very happy people also have a sing-song quality to their voices; it is easily recognizable in 4 and 5-year-olds when they are happily chirping away with their chipmunk voices.

    His solo at the end of "I'm So Afraid" would have been a great example of Buckingham's work. Any good quality bootleg video from their 2014-2015 tour would do, when he was really on fire doing that song.

      It is also displayed on the 1982 Mirage Tour which is available in its entirety for viewing. Better than The Dance.

    I saw FM in Montreal a few years ago and Christine McVie wasn't there unfortunately, however, it gave Lindsay more time to shine and he did.

  • @sophiecat14
    @sophiecat14 4 года назад +1

    Love this & can't believe I didn't find it before?! Fil's so right~ Lindsey's been highly underrated both as a guitarist & vocalist.
    I'm a huge fan of Lindsey's FM material & his solo work. I'm a big fan of Stevie's as well.
    Biggest mistake Fleetwood Mac made was firing Lindsey. He's such an integral part of the band... No one can replace him & why, at this point in the band's career, would they want *THAT* to be part of their legacy? Their story?!
    It just seems so sad to me, after all they've been through together! Smh

    I’ve seen them 3 times...wow...love their music...Lindsay had a self style of playing as well as a custom made guitar...he was a hand finger picker...notice he’s got the capo up a few frets...some times Stevie had trouble hitting the notes...I love this transition...I can hum it in my head...

    Having seen Fleetwood Mac live at least a dozen times and Lindsey solo shows over the last 30 odd years I can honestly say that the highlight for me is "I'm So Afraid" May I suggest you take a look at the Mirage version from 1982 or The Dance version from 1997. I'm curious on your take of this. New subcriber btw :)

    "The Chain" has been and has remained my all time favorite Fleetwood Mac song! 1979 ~ The year I graduated high school! Wish I had made one of their shows, in person.

    Re the bass line, yeah it's a great one growling in the dark with a life of its own. And Geddy Lee was inspired by Jethro Tull, who did heaps of songs with great, standout basslines as well. The psychedelic To Cry You a Song, and the rustic blues of Back to the Family with Tull's great bassist, Glen Cornick and lead guitarist, Martin Barre, are a couple of top examples!

    I don't play guitar, I know nothing about playing one. But one thing I DO KNOW is Lindsey is the best there is - He has a charismatic personality,, FM is dead without him. He's awe-inspiring!!

    I know you've done a lot of Queen videos, but have you even listened to the song '39? What Brian May does in the intro of that song still blows my mind, so simple and yet so cool. Also Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh is amazing! Love your channel

    There are so few 5 tool players in any form of music. Songwriter, singer, guitar master, studio engineer, and overall captivating entertainer. He is one of the best, most underrated musicians in all of music. Glad he is finally getting some recognition.
