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.

This dvd/cd is an investment worth making. I was at the concert in fort worth and it was amazing. I've been waiting over a year now for the dvd. He has so much passion in his performance that it is hard not to be completely sucked in. A must on for music fans who want more than surface level lyrics from someone just wanting to make money.Free Music Review: Nothing from "Out of the Cradle" and more of the same.....
Hit: 3 Stars
Sadly, no live versions from Lindsey's best CD, "Out of the Cradle."
Instead, we get yet more live versions of "Big Love" (already available live on "The Dance" and "Live in Boston") "I'm So Afraid" (ditto, and also available on Fleetwood Mac's first live CD) and "Go Your Own Way" (available on every live album.)
Not sure why we get live repeats of "Big Love" and "I'm So Afraid"--I'd rather he replaced them with tracks not available live.
And his reworkings of "Trouble" and "Go Insane" are terrific, but overall, this live CD is pretty much what we've heard before.
The documentary "Not To Late" has some nice home movie/music videos and we hear Lindsey complaining about the music industry and how he tried to release "Under the Skin" after his solo contract with Warner lapsed.
Oddly, he DID release the CD on Warner, so his complaint about record labels not giving artists a chance to grow and develop doesn't hold true...at least in his case.
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: REAL LIVE , AND THEN SOME...

After seeing / hearing Lindsey Buckingham ( & band) , on the 'Under The Skin' tour, it's great to have this DVD/CD package( as close to being there as a recorded document could get)to relive it! A truly great performance , with an insightful docummentary.If you appreciate Lindsey Buckingham's music, and -sometimes- manic/humorous inflections, this is a can't miss purchase. Also, 'HOLIDAY ROAD' is a blast!!!
