Free Music Notes for Live at the Bass Performance Hall (W/Dvd)Free Music Review: Nearly Perfect... Hit: 5 Stars
I do not write many reviews on Amazon (or anywhere else), but this DVD / CD is worth the effort. This is one of the very best concert recordings I have ever experienced. I first saw the concert on high-definition television, so this non-HD DVD is a bit disappointing. But this concert is amazing. First, the filming of the video is outstanding. The close-ups, fade-outs, etc. are nearly perfect, without the modern, frustrating MTV-like tendancy of jumping from shot-to-shot very quickly.
The audio recording is absolute perfection. The balance between the voice and instrumentation is perfect. So many concerts are recorded with a noticeable imbalance between the voice of the lead singer and the instrumentation. But here, Lindsey's guitar is full and strong, as is his voice. The band supports him splendidly. A pure pleasure to listen to!
Crowd noise and crowd interruption is almost a non-factor. Although it is a live concert, the stage dominates -- not the cat-calls of the crowd, although there are a few humorous comments from the crowd, with enjoyable response from Lindsey.
And Lindsey's performance is perfect, as is the song selection, including a nice blend of songs from his new album (Under the Skin), past albums, and his work with Fleetwood Mac.
If you at all appreciate Lindsey Buckingham (and/or Fleetwood Mac), this is a must-have DVD / CD.
Free Music Review: Proof that perfectionism pays off Hit: 5 Stars
VH1 once described Buckingham as a "musical alchemist". And although Vh1 tends to exaggerate a bit , they nailed Buckingham right on the mark. This performance shows that he is just as good live (if not better) than he is in the studio. The DVD is very enjoyable and the songs were fantastic. This show reminds me of when I saw him in 1992 during his "Out of the Cradle tour" minus the many guitar players that were with him at that tour , in which I had the pleasure to meet him with a group of people after the show , in which he sat with us and talked to us , took photos with us , and answered any question that was thrown at him. Buckingham is a true musician at both heart and soul and this live performance really shows it and it proves that music is something that should be apart of you from inside of ourselves, not about what the music industry wants you to do.And although the documentary was a bit odd at first, This cd/ dvd is worth every dollar and then some. You will be doing yourself an injustice if you do not purchase and enjoy.
Free Music Review: WOW - "Big Love" DVD Track leaves you breathing hard! Hit: 5 Stars
If you enjoy music - you will LOVE Lindsey Buckingham in this DVD/CD. It seems that it would be impossible to play a guitar the way that Lindsey Buckingham plays throughout this concert. Pretty much just Lindsey Buckingham "blowing you away" by himself on stage, no back-up band or theatrics - just intelligent music performed in an awesome way.
I have always enjoyed certain songs of Fleetwood Mac - BUT THIS IS A UNIQUELY INCREDIBLE music "experience". The "Big Love" performance is probably my all-time favorite musical presentation, Live or recorded by any artist!
It is truly sad if you don't experience Lyndsey's performance on this DVD! Played it on a big screen, with a PS3 blue ray player - BLOWN AWAY!
Free Music Review: A terrific look into the life of a true artist....plus a great show! Hit: 5 Stars
Lindsey is a true artist...
not happy rehashing hits but stretching himself as a writer and amazingingly unique fingerstyle guitarist! The bonus 45 minute film is a rare inside treat and really strips some of the process involved in the business of music bare. As far as the concert...its wonderful to see and hear him alone with his guitar expressing these songs so well. On the band numbers I found his arrangements very fresh and so fun ..particularly "Holiday Road" from National Lampoon's Vacation..which is guaranteed to have your toe tapping and a big grin on your face. This is a really cool collection of behind the scenes and music and visuals..HIGHLY recommended.
Free Music Review: Lindsey Buckingham Live At The Bass Performance Hall (W/Dvd) Hit: 5 Stars
I must say that after immersing myself in this Cd Dvd I found It absolutely stunning and exeptionally brilliant. I can realy appreciate this creativity and the great care that was taken with this work. The new songs and the old work great together with the live band. As always Lindseys guitar work had me playing air guitar through the whole performance, even when I had tears in my eyes during three of the tracks.
I love how the new songs are stripped back and are so creative, Simply Beautiful. I think that Lindsey Buckingham realy cares so much about everything that he does and long may this go on.
P.S. I can't wait for his next studio album, or even something from 'The Mac'
