Solo, Lindsey Buckingham Hits Highest Notes Possible In Voice, Guitar Concert 
By Kitty Dill
Stagehappenings

World-class musician Lindsey Buckingham is fond of referring to the group which he is most likely linked, Fleetwood Mac, as the Big Machine, and a subsequent group as The Small Machine.

Start thinking now of this legendary performer as The Machine. And that’s frankly an understatement because this extraordinary one-man act is infused with such intimacy, intensity and soul that even these descriptions seem inadequate.

After launching a highly-anticipated tour, the guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, Grammy Award-winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was in the spotlight at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza (TOCAP).

Among those waiting for the Kavli Theatre doors to open were Santa Clarita residents Cary Brown, who saw LB about 1979 as part of Fleetwood Mac, and his wife Kay, who was hoping for a pleasant experience.

“Driven by this place many times. Never been inside. Lovely,” said Buckingham, 63, also indicating later his two young daughters were present, dedicated a song to them, acknowledged the instant ovations by indicting he’d play longer but with Monday morn looming, “it’s a school night.”

Reviews: Lindsey Buckingham Los Angeles & Carmel


Lindsey Buckingham: Alone and Kicking
Sunset Center, Carmel, CA, May 10, 2012
by Jason Warburg

Alone on a bare stage decorated only with an area rug and a sizable amp rig, two songs into a taut 90-minute set that epitomized words like “intensity” and “masterful,” Lindsey Buckingham paused to contemplate the long, twisting trail that has led the Palo Alto native to the top of the rock world, around the globe and back to Carmel's 800-seat Sunset Center as a still-vital solo act.

The “big machine”—the musical juggernaut Fleetwood Mac, of which Buckingham has been a part for 27 of the last 37 years—and the small machine—solo recording and touring—nourish and feed off of one another. After a long struggle to achieve balance between the two, Buckingham has concluded that both are necessary and each has a vital role to play in fueling his growth as an artist.

Back to leather for this show...

"Lindsey Buckingham rocked the sold out, historic Crest Theatre in downtown Sacramento tonight.  Alone on the stage, with an endless arsenal of guitars, Mr. Buckingham put on an amazing performance, and more than anyone, he has such a deep emotional connection with his music that his passion truly drives his live show unlike any artist.  He is simply an amazing musician."

Check out the full review and rundown of the show by Jason DeBord including some really great photos at Rocksubculture.
