Free Music Review: Buckingham Excels, As Always
Hit: 4 Stars
A fantastic testament to Lindsey Buckingham's artistry and live performance. "I'm So Afraid" is just jaw dropping. It's also great to hear some of the older tunes like "Trouble" and "Go Insane." The concert is heavy on tunes from Buckingham's latest album "Under the Skin," which is understandable considering the show was in promotion of it. Personally, I prefer the albums "Go Insane" and "Out of the Cradle" to the melodic "Under the Skin," and "Cradle" is criminally neglected in the concert.
Having both the CD and DVD is great. However, I have to differ with other reviewers about the documentary included on the disc. I enjoyed hearing Buckingham talk about his career, though this is sparse. For the most part the documentary consists of "videos" to, admittedly very good, tracks from "Under the Skin." I use the term video loosely, however, as they are amateurish, uninteresting, and boring. I also enjoyed seeing the inside view of the ongoing frustration Buckingham experienced in trying to sell the disc to a label, but again, this is sparse and lacks any real narrative or resolution. In my opinion the documentary is pure filler, and poor filler at that.
Bottom line, a great concert captured on DVD and CD. Buy it for the music, not the extras, but definitely buy it.
Free Music Review: Great performance LB, poor choice of songs though...
Hit: 4 Stars
As always a guitar playing masterclass from the God like fingers of Mr Buckingham. Those long slowly building solo's that build to a huge crescendo are in evidence once again. There are two of those in fact, and LB goes close to madness in parts by just slapping at the guitar in an almost trance-like state! And yet; the solo's still look easy for him, and sound sublimely brilliant of course! Would you expect anything less?
The band is the same as on the Soundstage DVD 'TV' gig of course, and they are all great players up there on stage with LB. The setting for the concert (the truly beautiful Bass Performance Hall) looks a stunning venue to play...
The performance has been lovingly recorded both for audio and video (in fact I think it's been recorded in HD even if the DVD here is SD).
The one thing that IMO reduces this DVD from 5 to 4 stars in the setlist. It's a strange mixture of songs, mostly from the latest album of course. But even then the two best songs from it I think are missing (Down on Rodeo and I Am Waiting). Songs from LB's finest solo hour 'Out Of The Cradle' are criminally missing.
Still, another great feast for Fleetwood Mac & LB fans.
Free Music Review: material: Mixed Bag, performance: excellent
Hit: 4 Stars
I have been a fan of Fleetwood Mac since about 6th grade in 1978. I fell in love w/ Stevie and admired the superior guitar work of her ex-lover Lindsey Buckingham.
Now, there is a new solo LIVE CD, Bass Performance Hall. (BPH is, by the way, in, Fort Worth, Texas) His performance is excellent, yet his interpretation of "Go Insane" is way wrong. And, his new stuff from "Under the Skin" is OKAY.
But, he comes the good parts. Cuts of his classics: "I KNow I'm not Wrong" from TUSK; "Holiday Road" from the NL's VACATION st; and "Go Your Own Way", a smash hit from 1977's Rumours were absolutely sensational. These clips games me goose bumps. "Second Hand News" and "Big Love" are good as well.
Overall, it is a strong LIVE CD, not as good as FM's 1980's LIVE album (ITS PRINTED IN THE LINER NOTES: performed at Rochester's (NY) War Memorial in 1979) that is an outstanding recording.

I thought the concert portion was excellent. Excellent leads as usual. This is if you love Lindsey Buckingham. The video footage for the most part was cool. Some of it was a little bit dragged out. The entire DVD was very artsy.Free Music Review: Live at the Bass Performance Hall
