@juliec1215 "i think your all fucked in the head we're ten hours away from the fucking fun park and you want to bail out well this is no longer a vacation its a quest a quest for fun we're goona need plastic surgery to remove our god damn smiles" lol i ove that line
I was born in 1980 30 years ago and I've never been more nostalgic for the 80's than I am now. This song takes me back to those great years of being just a small kid. It was a magical fun time for me and I love the music, fashions and movies of the 80's. This was a great song and the theme for the National Lampoon movies. I love it! Long live the 80's!
Would be 10 times cooler if they had still shots of the cast of the movie while they play this song, like when the Who had pictures during their Canadian "final " tour.
I have been a huge fan since the early 1970's. I saw Lindsey in concert live in Orlando in March of 2007, It was amazing! He looks and sounds incredible! He is so hot and sexy! I also saw him in concert in 1974ish for the Rumors tour and then in 1986ish for the Tango in the night tour (both in Philadelphia)and again in 1999 for the Dance tour.(This one in Orlando), and him alone in March of 2007(also Orlando). Hoping to see him again and again!
Yeah, its an awesome song and its my favourite and the number one amongst the classics, i agree with you that its sad thats it only is as short as 2 minutes, it wouldnt be bad with another verse and the refrain two or three more times :D I've always loved this song to, its awakening so many feelings within me somehow..
Yeah....actually you must have been under a rock or else had your head hiding somewhere as the credits rolled during the movie...Plus...if this was a song you liked you would have searched to find out who sang it.... Ha!!
Saw a video clip of him singing 'Say goodbye to you' with Stevie Nicks about the same time, 2006, and thought he was absolutely gorgeous, much hunkier than when he was young. He was too pretty when he was young. Agree: you need to see him close - perfect face, tall, talented.
Probably the BEST tune from Lindsay Buckingham! "TROUBLE" and "IT WAS I" on the "Law And Order" album go on 2nd position as I think! I also remark the "retro era" tendency of this artist thats make the a powerful one!
I'm so jealous that you've seen Lindsey live in concert. Awesome video! I am so with everyone who said he still looks great, too! Thanks so much for posting!
excellent song live, i was at 2 of these concerts for free in 2006 and went backstage. my uncle is actually the one who plays the barking at the end of this song, among other things:)
His name is Chris Vannoy (normally goes by Lindsay Vannoy), hes no longer touring with Lindsey but when he was I went to 2 of these concerts, one in North Hampton, MA and another in Boston. Good stuff:)
I was at this show ( ive even seen the taper down from me -lol -and wondered when this would turn up ) its one thing to see lindsey buckingham on youtube but its another to see him live , I have been to lots of shows and seen lots of acts but lindsey really is all that live !
Nice video. He also did Holiday Road in NYC last year when I saw him on tour. I just wish he would stop doing so many of his great songs with the acoustical guitar (like Big Love, Go Insane, etc) and do them the way he recorded them using an electric rock guitar. I also wish he would do 80% of the songs in his Out of the Cradle album, which kicks the ass of any other album of his.
WOW! I'm glad he's lightened up and decided to FINALLY play this song on tour. I know he used to absolutely refuse to consider playing it. JulieC, thanks so much for posting this!!
rare live appearance of this song because i dont think he sings it anymore ! thanks for posting !!

Oh wow, I'd pay damn good money to see this song live. Hands down in my top 5 songs of all time.
Lyndsey's a true musical genius AND he managed to catch one of the most beautiful women of all time. What a legend!
Wish I'd yelled something about holiday road when I saw him and Fleetwood Mac play in N.Z. recently!
I understand the meaning of the song but wonder what the relevance to the barking is about?
Thanks alot juliec!

Only thing I always tried to figure out..
what is with the dog barks at the end of the song?? Is one of the band members a werewolf or something??? he he he..
Seriously it's a great song.. Too bad it's so short though.. I wish it were longer..
