Oh please, why did you cut IT WAS I off? It's my very favorite Lindsey's song... is it possible that you could post it, if you don't like the song please I'll buy you the video!!!
As a Stevie Nicks fan, I didn 't really appreciate Lindsey, until they(Fleetwood Mac) made an album/CD without him, and it sounded awful! A true genius.....
Buckingham like David Gilmour are underestimated yet their guitar sounds make up two of the most successful bands in history in rock & roll! Without Lindsey, you would have never had the Fleetwood Mac sound that started with the classic lineup!
I've always admired Lindsey's unique way of doing music and presenting himself. He's not typical or everyday, he's iconoclastic but not too strange and extravagant or eccentric like Prince or MJ for example, that's just an example, so take it easy now :o)
Nor is Linsey conceited or pretending to be humble like Bono. Lindey's just the man, down to earth intelligent and highly creative.
Rolling Stone still hasn't allowed Linda Ronstadt and Pat Benatar into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. I'm not surprised that Lindsey didn't make their best guitarists list.
@tomthefunky He's underrated in the fact that if you ask people to list who they think are the "great guitarists of our time," he will RARELY (if ever) be mentioned. Instead you'll hear a variety of people as diverse as Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen (wtf, seriously), Eric Johnson, and assorted others. Rarely do you hear Lindsey mentioned in such a list and usually, he's better than HALF those names you WILL hear. I bet if you Googled it, you'd see...bet he never shows in any list.
I agree - In some Rolling Stone "100 top guitarists of all time" silly issue, his name wasn't even mentioned. I know a lot of his early guitar prowess was relatively hidden behind electronic noise and other production things in both Mac songs and his solo work, but if you ever see him play live, he's on fire! And his recent work totally proves that! Wish he was still a household name to the average listener rather than just fans!
saw lindsey in mesa arizona with dad 3 years ago. there are no words. he played a song called "red robin", can't find it anywhere. he played in a small amp.; you can't get better then that!!
Very very nice to see some footage of an interview with Lindsey. He has GOT to be the most underrated guitarist of all time. He's phenomenal. He pretty much blows away any other guitarist of the time, and most of them from today too. He's just....freaking amazing. (Merv Griffin, on the other hand...I had forgotten what a crappy interviewer he was. lol)
I can't believe Merv actually said Lindsey was "responsible for the CREATIVITY" of the other band members. WTF? ROFLMAO Sure, he produces, mixes, he does a lot of different things, but to credit him with the CREATIVITY of the other members? What an idiot.
@kcgirlgeek Before Buckingham The Mac sounded quite different. Both Lindsey and Stevie greatly contributed to the success of the band. Interesting fact however, after Buckingham had left Fleetwood Mac and his amazing album Out of the Cradle was released in 1982, a sticker on the cover proclaimed Lindsey Buckingham as "The architect of the Fleetwood Mac sound." So Merv wasn't that far off.
never saw much video footage of Lindsey before. ;) did he say he was from northern Cal? just watching and listening to him here, it's as if he's from the Valley!
Oh I think it would be fine really to post the performances. Whats the worse than can happen, get them removed? There are so many Lindsey performances still up.
Quality - if its bad, is understandable for something so old in terms of videotape. Stuff like this is share for historical reasons and helps promote old work still today. The only other artist that really shoots himself in the foot is Prince and I dont think Lindsey has gone that insane...!
I know for a fact that they will be sited since someone had posted the two songs in the past and they were both yanked. Sorry, but I don't want any violations. I would LOVE to post them, but it's just not worth it.. (:
So "Rumours" did 16 million in the first 4 years of its existence. Since then its done about 16 more. Hmm. I have had the "Law and order" Cd for many years, but didnt really like it. I love especially "Out of the cradle" and I really like"Under the skin". Maybe I should have another listen to his solo debut since Merv says he loves it... Thanks for the video. Did you tape it in 1981?
I like his Law And Order album, but my fave is Out Of The Cradle. I got this clip via a past trade that I did with someone. When this show aired back in 1981, (sadly) I wasn't able to watch it since it wasn't available in my area. I remember being so upset about it. (:
Another great interview with Lindsey Buckingham! He is so nice looking and I really love listening to him:) Thanks for another great post biglindseyfan77...You find the best of Lindsey and Fleetwood Mac videos!
I love this interview because its fairly devoid of typical Lindsey filler statements. He's relaxed more than usual. My favorite part is the "Well thanks Cal" portion. Thanks for posting!!
You're VERY welcome. Thanks for another great comment!! I agree ~ He does seem more relaxed than usual. This is one of my all-time fave interviews!! (:
I remember this interview! The guy next to him was from a music trade mag called Monday Morning Quarterback. I think this episode was also the first time I heard mention of the "Compact Disc Player". At the time, I thought they said that the CD would be able to hold up to four hrs of music, but I could be wrong. Lindsey also played "Trouble" and "It was I" on the show. Thanks so much for this clip!
i remember seeing this when it showed back in the day. its nice to see it now and really delve into it. i have never seen lindsey so relaxed and funny. thanx for posting!
I love how well he explains himself. From early on he has always sounded so centered & seems to know exactly where his head is at. You'll notice though, after about five minutes of talking he seems like he's had enough, & his fingers get itchy around 5:11, I had to laugh at that. Still he is so polite & like Jackie says, very down-to-earth, for someone of his stature. Thank you Jackie, this was really a great snapshot from that time period.
lindsey is the reason I play guitar.

Lindsey is a real creative cat. Thats what Ive always dug about him, his iconoclastic musical concepts.
The flying V (is it?) orchestral 40's influence can be seen in his video for Trouble, and the cover of the album, the 40's like photo. Cool factoid!
