  • Who the fuck would name there son Lindsey ? great guy tho! Maybee he got bullied so concentrated on the guitar?

  • I could probably listen to this for the next 6 weeks and still feel deeply moved every single time-- lyrics cut to the bone and guitar makes me bleed from the heart

  • This one goes out to my late,great Aunt Barb.

  • 6 people are deaf!

  • One of my all time favorite LB/FB live performances...this song in particular inspired a following of LB's career going on 30+ years now...thanks for posting :)

  • 4:39 :My eyes rolls with a guitar icon like goofy with the dollars sign !

    5:27 :Heart attack !

    6:25 : R.I.P Me !

  • Holy Crap!! That was awesome. Channeling it Baby. Right through his soul and to my ears. Lindsey is in the zone and not even thinkin' about it at solo point.

  • He doesn't even use a guitar pick. It's all with his fingers. Awesome

  • he does not even use a damn guitar pick. it's with his fingers. underated big time.

  • the guitar solo and the whole song, simply amazing. remember kids, the dude plays with his fingers! that is some bad ass technique

  • Wow. . .WOW. . .WOOOOW!!!. . .He puts so much feeling into his singing, great voice highlighted by this song.

  • just awsome

    

  • Really an amazing performance!

  • This is undoubtedly one of Buckingham's greatest efforts, but you have to acknowledge the best rhythm section ever to exist. That includes Pink Floyd, Beatles, Steely Dan. McVie and Fleetwood are complete masters of their trade - McVie always just ahead of the drumming, but combined on virtually every Mac track, it is the bass and drum, which drives everything else. What an awesome combo.

  • This is the best version he's done. I LOVE this track and WOW WHAT A GUITARIST!!!!!!!!!

  • Always a very powerful song, and probably Lindsey Buckhinghams favorite to play, cuz you can really jam out to it.

  • Buckingham = Awesome...

  • 音がメチャクチャ良い!(^^)

  • Gotta love this,one of the best guitarists around....YOU ROCK lindsey

  • im not a professional guitar player,but can someone post if they know that lindsey not using a pick is widespread or is he just real good,because he sure makes that thing wail

  • @121126 I wouldn't call it "Widespread" - I mean he's definitely good for the way he plays. He has a folk finger picking style that ususally doesn't get transfered to electric guitar, but since that's all he knew, that's all he's ever played. But there are plenty of non-pick guitarists - Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) comes to mind, but there's still a difference between Lindsey and all the other finger-picking guitarists - he uses a strumming motion to play just one string, muting the rest.

  • I am a guitar instructor, and I can say that from a technical standpoint Lindsey Buckingham can play many things that clapton couldn't, particularly when it comes to his picking style.  Both are talented, but they also both play in seperate ways.

    Not like it matters anyway, this is an excellent song and piece of art.

  • My first time hearing this was on a Buckingham/Nicks album.

  • @slueth88 this wasn't on the Buckingham nicks album it was on fleetwood mac white album

  • what album is this on??????????????????

    

  • what album is this on??????????????????

  • Awesome.

  • Mary Kay Nolte !!!!

  • Охуеный мужик.

  • i love how his and Christine's voices work together around @2:20 to @2:50

  • Fucking Great man favorite song ever

  • Lindsey really pulls through on this one. He can literally make the guitar talk................ One of my all time favorite solos for more than 30 years.

  • I heard this song by accident from this album and then I lost the album and couldn't remember the name of the song so I just spent 45 minutes trying to find it. ;))

  • Beautiful song

    

  • Lindsey has always had some "intense" guitar solos. I forget what kind of guitar he plays but it puts out a unique sound like no other. "I've always believed that you play to highlight the song, not to highlight the player. The song is all that matters. There two ways you can choose to go. You can try to be someone like Eddie Van Halen, who is a great guitar player, a virtuoso. Yet he doesn't make good records because what he plays is totally lost in the context of this band's music.

  • @JeffV71 He plays a Rick Turner Model 1

  • He will always be a rock legend! His strong vocals and great guitar riffs!!!!!

  • One of the greats!!!! Timelesss classic, rock on Linz!!!!!!!!

  • This one goes out to my friends back at UCF.... Dave Johnny

  • fuck ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Two notes...

    (1) No pick here. That amazing guitar sound comes from his FINGERNAILS!

    (2) Is it me, or does the backing vocal sound much better with Christine McVie than with Stevie Nicks?

  • @GothamBusCompany

    See..thats why you will always have guitar gods and people who play guitar. Big difference. As it should be.

    You can teach a 9 year old to play guitar but will he grow up to be a Lindsey? Don't know. Hundreds, maybe thousands can 'play' guitar...but only a select few can make it sing for them. So few. They can make the instrument become an extension of their body do to as they will. That is an enlightened musician. That is art. Not just notes.

  • @netlurker55 Buckingham is really good but I dont think he is one of the best, im sorry. Mark Knopfler. Eric Clapton. Joe Satriani. Carlos Santana. There are a lot of guitarists out there, and as big of a fan as I am of Lindsey Buckingham I wouldnt call him one of the best. He does a lot of basic things.

  • @eanielsen123 None of those guitarists can touch Buckingham on an acoustic guitar or at travis picking. There is a lot more to playing guitar than playing a fast solo. They all can do things that he can't do, but it works both ways. Let's see any of them play Big Love, let alone sing it while playing it. I personally think Clapton is the king, but I'd never confuse him as somebody who is better than Lindsey at Lindsey's strengths, just like Lindsey can't out Clapton Clapton.

  • @Maverikk68 That made me piss myself in laughter. Obviously you dont know any of those guitarists. Buckingham is nowhere near their level. And I love Buckingham - I always have, but you sir, are stupid.

  • @eanielsen123 Retard, I know all of those guitarist and am a professional musician. You obviously don't know anything about the guitar or you wouldn't have disagreed with what I said and would have understood it completely.

  • @Maverikk68 Fight you devils, I hate peace! All I know is, as a "professional" listener, that Lindsey Graham can f-cking SING! Add to that the guitar. All technical stuff aside, the sound is good.

  • @Maverikk68 Just because you think youre a professional musician and even if you were that doesnt mean your taste in music is good or that you have some better understanding of what the fuck youre talking about. Its laughable you would say Buckingham is the best guitarist in the world. Take your "pro musician" bullshit, shove it back up your hairy inbox where it came from, and pin it to your fucking prostate.

  • @GothamBusCompany Lindsey's amazing. only he can play a guitar like that. & yea ur right Christine's voice is much better for backing vocals on this song.

  • His voice is awesome!

  • this band as they in baseball was solid up the middle mick and john

  • Thank you so much for posting this - can't get enough of that ridiculous guitar Lindsay plays. What a story teller. Ditto, Declipse 16.

  • Sakes alive... And I'm only just now getting into Fleetwood Mac?

  • This solo is mesmerizing………… A big favorite of mine, awesome post thank you…………………:o)

  • HOLY FUCK I SWEAR I JUST SAW HIS BONER AT 4:55

    NOTHING IS HOTTER THAN A GUY DOING A SOLO ON GUITAR WHILST GETTING AN ERECTION FROM THE PASSION & INTENSITY HE FEELS TOWARDS THE MUSIC. NOTHING BEATS THAT.

    brb fapping.

  • OH MY GOSH I STILL CANT GET OVER THIS SONG

  • this is the best live version...

  • fan fucking tastic, magic fingers 'n all. i hate using a plectrum & how he achieves that crisp, clear auditorium volume without feedback beats me. lovely guy is Mr Buckingham, what a team!

  • I seriously love this song more than anything. My favorite by far. Thank you Mom and Dad for getting me into Fleetwood Mac. :D

  • so underrated....wtf happening to dis world....no respect for gud music :(

  • Lindsey is awesome with insane energy,heart, and soul. Excellent writer,lyrically and musically,singer,peformer and last but not least guitarist.!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @charger4079 and the most underrated of them all is Andrew Latimer from Camel. If you don't know him listen to: watch?v=VhRgelkyeyo

    You'll be in my debt forever :)

  • The music of that era created a passionate response in almost everyone who heard it because the artists were so very passionate about their art. It was a miraculous period. To everything there is a season...

  • Chrissie on the keys! Awesome!

  • To the younger generation: I AM SO SORRY YOU MISSED ROCK AND ROLL!

  • @bigredoneder if you think just missing rock and roll is bad try explain to kids at school who the who, john lennon, fleetwood mac and meat loaf are. I had to go through it every day

  • @bigredoneder im not missing it. im 15 & i listen to classic rock/metal everyday. if u think i like any modern artists u got another thing comin

  • AMAZING performance and song!

  • 3 people are afraid of the Mac.

  • Perhaps Lindsey's finest Mac-era performance.

  • I saw them in Oakland in 10-20-1982 and later in 1997 I miss the 1982 They were so awesome U have no idea what you missed!

  • I saw them in Oakland in 10-20-1982 and later in 1997 I miss the 1982 They were so awesome  No idea what you missed!

  • ....intense solo as well!!!!

  • Thats not Nicks on the piano is it?

  • @09paulia No it is Christine Mc Vie

  • Lindsey is a great guitar player and one of best solo guitar a round,,like this song and pretty girl,

  • the guitar solo is great, but his singing brought tears to my eyes in this version ;)

  • oh my god.. what a solo

    brillant!!!!!

  • Best guitar sole EVER! Had the pleasure of being one of the 'Chosen Ones' because I saw him do it live in Vegas! Words cannot describe!

  • I want to MARRY him.... why can't they make them like they used to! ----- Lindsey's Biggest Fan!

  • A-maz-ing.

  • best guitarist for his blues

  • This is one of the very best - Full stop.

  • just SEXY!

  • The studio version is good, but the lower key in this live version makes it sound even more sad and wrenching.

  • I'm getting really drunk and slaughtering these two victims in my apartment!

  • seems like the further ahead we go,the more out of touch we become.so glad i was around for this era,the best!!!

  • huge wall of musical inner pain lifts me up by taking me right down . Guitar is bleeding out its wooden heart

  • took me a few months to find out this was fleetwood !kinda heavy for them awsome song !

  • Love this performance !!!!

  • My name is Mac and my sisters name is lindsey! What does this mean 0_0

  • @chrishill1231 yea they both say "fuck guitar picks"

  • when I first heard this one on their 1980 live recording I couldn´t believe it. Until then I only knew blues and pop from that outfit, but this was purely good rock in a really epic way! marked the beginning of collecting all records they´d made and this was a good decision!

  • Not underated by me, saw him live in the 70's and 80's, and he is better now. duh. Lindsey rocks huge time. I am so Afraid.

  • .........Before the band went pop.

  • awesome !!

  • I've listened to a few other versions but I think this has to be my favorite.

    Not only for sound quality, but there is an edgyness and an angst to this that matures out in later versions. Cheers 4 the post

  • I also detect the edginess and angst. Part of it may be the timing - 1982 was only 7 years after the song was first released, so whatever inspired it was still somewhat fresh in his mind. PLUS, there's the backing vocal - Christine McVie's voice just works better for this song than Stevie's. There, I said it.

  • best guitar work in the world this solo gives me goosbumps

  • Buckingham is definitely a most underrated guitarist.

    Not using a pick, to boot.

    Fleetwood Mac actually were a great "rock" band, despite the fluff.

  • All i can say is LINDSEY!!!!

  • I was at Sydney concert in Nov 77, as you (cbritton) said ..he is so so so under rated!

  • wow gives me goosebumps

  • edpowers 48 - listen to the rhythm section - Fleetwood and McVie - so good, so understated and perfect.

  • i just lost The Game.

  • I saw him last year in Paris he's still AWESOME, full of energy!!!

  • What a sexy, sexy man.

  • one of my fav solos all time

  • @68mercurycougarfan Damn sexy Libras!

  • I may catch some hell for this but Lindsey Buckingham IS Fleetwood Mac - the others are a dime a dozen.

  • He wrote this when he was 17 !

  • The lyrics are so touching. Not many words but exactly the right ones to make this song so speacial and give this melancholy feeling.....simply WOW!!!!

  • @BaiserWithStrawberry To me, this is one of the 5 top songs of all time. The agony in his voice and his guitar tear me up every time. How many songs can pull that out of a person EVERY single time? Not many.

  • This is one of the most terrific songs I heard ever. Bravo Lindsey!!

  • This song...is SO GOOD. WHY can't music be like this these days?

  • @Declipse16 I ask myself that a lot. Much of today's "music" causes me to become physically ill.

  • @ladyfuschia I see someone else feels my pain. lol

  • @Declipse16  Auto tune:-(

  • @Declipse16 According to Frank Zappa, it's because the cools guys came in. We were better off with the cigar chompers who didn't know what was cool, and took chances...when the "cool guys" came in, and decided THEY knew what was cool, that's when things took a turn. Now the Simon Cowells decide what goes on the radio or gets a million copies pressed....

  • @BeauJames59

    Good thing we have the internet to kill off an industry not needed anymore, unless they intend to monitor our traffic and sue the living hell out of us there's no way they can keep churning run of the mill crap out the ether without shooting themselves in the foot.

    They could step up their game and scout artists with actual talent, or they could just die, the latter is probably better for the smaller artists.

  • @Declipse16 Because music 'these days' is shit as shit can be.

  • @EnemyOfEldar agreed....no heart in music. The songwriter no longer sings it the way it was meant. Now it's all writers and other people singing someone else's emotions.

  • i can´t remember how I got here, but i just dont wanna leave

  • the solos are very sexy so much emotion

  • Fantastic !!!!!!!!!

  • wow never knew about this song i love it!  new fav

  • wow i thought this song came out much later than 82, uhm so they were in the same time u2 was coming out........was flleetwood famous by that time?

  • @MedicAlv1 OMG! I feel like slapping you! ;-) 1982?!?!?

    Look up Fleetwood Mac 'Black Magic Woman'. 'Oh Well'!!

    I've been listening to them since 1968!! YEARS BEFORE Stevie & Lindsey!

    Look up the Original Fleetwood Mac, I think you're really enjoy their early Blues music, influenced by John Mayall among others!

  • thanksa for the comment i did know about the affair i just dident know when

  • And that's an amazing solo! Wow.

  • Holy crap, I've been listening to Fleetwood Mac off/on since NINETEEN SEVENTY-FIVE and didn't know Lindsey could sing?

  • @Volvo745T Lindsey always could sing. he and Stevie released an album, i believe, before joining Fleetwood Mac. if i remember right, 'Crystal' and one or two other songs were on this album before being performed by FM. i think the album was called 'Buckingham-Nicks'.

  • @mattukenobaka lindsey & stevie did have an album titled buckingham nicks--i searched for many years before being lucky enough 2 add it 2 my collection. i ve also seen live versions of rhiannon & monday morning from 74--before joining the mac.

  • Every few weeks I return to this and every time it gives me goosebumps. Incredible!

  • I saw this tour in Oakland CA 3rd row. I am a Stevie fan and had a major crush but I fell in love with Lindsey's awesome ability after seeing it live.. Wow is all I can say. I saw them again in 1997 in San Jose and I also love his Big Love solo!

  • i noticed stevie wasent on stage was that when they broke up? thats the kind of song someone would write if seperated from there love

  • @59cva at the time of this concert she was having a minor affair with drummer Mick Fleetwood, believe it or not.

  • It's a song about agony and he can perform this song as an agonied man. Wow.

  • Wow, he performes this song as a tortured man. But then again, may be he ís a tortured man.

  • me too

    

  • Brilliant song. His voice is great in this performance. But WTF is that guitar he's using?!? I looks retarded, I'm sorry. other than that, great vid. :)

  • @TooRollingStoned7195 That would be the Rick Turner Model 1, which at the time, was custom made for Mr. Buckingham and his playing style. Rick Turner made basses for John McVie and Lindsey got a hold of him and asked for a guitar that suits his acoustic finger picking style and that has small and easy to handle. This was the result. So, as retarted as it may appear to your eyes, the sound it belts is insane. Better than any pointy edged mammoth electric guitar I've heard.

  • made me toe shoot up in me boot!

  • remember this from 82 ,awesome !!!!

  • Why is he not acknowledged by the usual suspects as a great electric guitarist? This is rather amazing.

  • tout en finger picking....Une merveille! 

  • I would give my left nut to play like that.

  • Pit Bull

  • What can I say?.......epic performance,gives me shivers!!! love it!

  • haa fleetwood mac c'est le best des best et lindsey a la guitare est toujours un reve

  • But what about the bass section here !!

    Marvelous !!

  • a baseball team is said to be solid up the middle,so is this band with mick and john they give something to stand on

  • awesome!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Everytime I hear it I'm left with the same feeling...FUCKING HELL!

  • Powerful song.  One of the first songs I put on my Ipod.

  • this is my FAVORITE lindsey performance ever!!! this is him at his best! thanks for the video. omg he is SOOO HOT!!

  • BUCKINGHAM IS AWSOME!|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Brings tears to my eyes.

  • One of the best Song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Try a triple play sometime, young lindsey, medium and old on this song, wow, he is great !

  • Never shoulda tossed that LP! If any were truly 'good old days' those were them. Too bad I didn't have meself a 'Stevie' or Christine to enjoy them.

  • Wow isn't Lindsey so hot - I love him singing this version, all the emotions and feelings of the split with Stevie is put into this version. Absolutely fab.

  • his voice is so sexy in this song! i love this band so much this song is incredible

  • Lindsey is truly amazing!

  • Is there a studio version of this song, i can only find live versions, i'm ashamed to say i'd not heard it until two days ago. Fleetwood can still surprise me after all this time.

  • Fleetwood mac album called "fleetwood mac" from 1975 I think
