THIS right here is why Mick went out and recruited him into the band. Lindsey Buckingham is on my list of GOAT guitarists of the Rock Era. Top 5 actually.

If you like this, you should look at Lindsey's live performance of "Big Love" from this same concert, wherein all the other band members leave the stage, and Buckingham enthralled that same crowd with just his voice and AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR! 😲

If you've never heard Lindsey sing, that means you've never heard Never Going Back Again. Amazing guitar work (and vocals) by Lindsey. He essentially plays two guitar parts, simultaneously.

That's one of the great things about the groups we adored in the 1970's...many of them didn't have a designated lead singer. Fleetwood Mac, Toto, Eagles, just to name a few, were all bands with multiple talented writers/vocalists. Some really great harmonies came from those groups, and all of their songs didn't sound alike.

Lindsey is a guitar god. Mick is criminally underrated as a drummer. Another hard song of theirs that I love is "Eyes of the World".

This whole performance is elite!!

Mick is killing it on the 🥁 And having a great time

Two words: "Big Love" You're welcome 😊

One of my favorite songs....ever..... love Lindsey

Lindsey to me is quite underrated. He's a great singer and a great guitarist. My favorite song with such a great vibe is I'm in Trouble in 1981. You may dig that awesome song, many do.

Not a guitar player, but I appreciate a master. This is both haunting and sensual. No pick, just straight plucking.❤

He's the best arpeggio finger picking style guitarist out there

Lindsey Buckingham is definitely one of greatest guitarists underrated imo.

Don’t overlook John McVie on bass guitar. He’s truly amazing. 🌈💕✨

Lindsey is often on lead vocals. Stevie is just one of three lead singers in the band, along with Lindsey and Christine McVie. You need to dive deeper. He's also a fantastic guitarist who too often doesn't get his due, and has sometimes even been denigrated by some of the Peter Green purists who think the only real Fleetwood Mac is the old Peter Green stuff and that Buckingham and Nicks ruined it. I don't think there's many of those but I've ran across them. Personally, I am a big fan of both Green and Buckingham, and both old and new Fleetwood Mac.

I’ve always have loved Lindsey, I even named my daughter after him

Lindsey B is the bomb on a guitar. Check out a solo of his called Trouble, particularly the TOTP video. He is coked out of his mind, or goofing big time because he hated lip synching. There is also the official video of Trouble with Bob Welch, Mick Fleetwood and the video is against a white background and very cool. Mad mad skills on guitar on that osng. Big Love is another solo of his that is just amazing. He did Holiday Road for a Nat'l Lampoon movie that you'd never believe was by him. An absolutely vastly underrated guitarist. He picked until his fingers bled from what I've read onstage for FM performances.

The Four times I saw in Fleetwood Mac in concert Lindsay performed this song.....and he torn it up......and couple of times SMASHED his guitar on the stage into pieces and Threw it out into the crowd......also...you have not explored their albums before.....then you would have heard Lindsay displaying his talent....that's why I tell reactors to go into the albums of these artist and bands to get a full knowledge of what talent was displayed wnen my generation bought their albums because we heard the hit song but wanted to hear more from the artist....the albums usually had so many great songs on them that weren't release as "Hits." Glad you enjoyed the song and the performance!!!

It’s alway fun to see you get blown away by each of them. From Stevie to Christine to Lindsey to Mick to John. They will always be the very definition of cool. Rip Christine

You know when Lindsey gets that bob going he's definitely givin ya the juice!!!

I love him, he's my favorite out of the group and has really excellent solo stuff as well.

My FAVORITE classic rock band ever! Lindsey was always so underrated. He is a phenomonal guitar player. Atevie is my idol too. I just love her so much

So glad to see someone finally react to this. It's always been my favorite Fleetwood Mac live song. He kills it every time.

This whole concert was stellar. Nobody ever touches on their last album, but Lindsey did a gnarly, gnarly solo at the end of a song called "Come". Also, you need to do "Tusk" from this concert, it's mind blowing!

This is one of my favorite songs by them. Nothing today can even come close to this song, this is music !!!

He is sooooo underrated....

Lindsey Buckingham is a beast on the guitar in Big Love, from the same show- this is very mild in comparison. It’s just Lindsey- no one else- and it will blow you away!

Lindsay Buckingham is an amazing guitarist. Honestly, I wouldn’t see them without him.

I was first a Lindsey Buckingham solo artist fan back in 1992 with his Out of the Cradle album that would play on the radio (Countdown and Soul Drifter). I had to work my way back into discovering Fleetwood Mac just to hear more of him. I ended up developing a taste for Fleetwood Mac in general and an appreciation for all of the artists within the band, but Lindsey was and remains my absolute most favourite musician of all time. I can't even begin to describe what his music has brought to and created in my life. In short, I would not be the same person had I never known his music. What's amazing about this song I find, in particular, is its evolution with time. How the brilliance of it never wavers from its first recording decades prior to the last performance decades later, yet, how it changes era by era. Its tone differs and matures with the ages. It's an expanding masterpiece within itself.

If you want to hear what Christie McVie brings, try Songbird... one of the most beautiful songs ever written in my opinion.

Big Love , live is a good one too.

You gotta dive into more of his and Christine’s songs!!!!

I bought this video back in mid 2000's soon after my husband died. The whole concert is so beautiful and amazing, and I had never seen Lindsay play or sing. I was so blown away and wept uncontrollably in disbelief of how perfectly he expressed the primal scream in our soul. Seems your reaction is the same! So awesome 😊

This particular performance is the best live performance of this superb song. One of his best.

I saw an acoustic show by Lindsey a few years ago. I have seen hundreds of concerts (including Fleetwood Mac), but his show was the most intense I have ever seen. I was unable to sleep that night because of the intensity of the show.

I’ll have more videos out later, just had to publish this one first. “What is the dance 1977, well that’s a live album that came out in 1977.” I meant to say 1997 folks, I clearly understand the album and performance are from 1997, I just misspoke. Sorry!

This concert was incredible!!! I saw them during this tour!!!! So amazing live!!💕💕🎵🎼🎶🎤🎹🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

Mind-blowing

Yeah, you walked right into a whole other side of Fleetwood Mac. This is like walking into the UnderDark, and discovering a side of the universe that you have no idea existed.

He’s in my top 5 too! 😊

"Big Love" from the Dance is next level Lindsey

Lindsey is a self taught guitarist...he sings the songs he writes...stevie sings the songs she writes and Christine sings the songs she writes. Lindsey is abslotlutely amazing..and back when he and stevie were a couple and mick fleetwood asked him to be in the band..he said well you have to take my gf too we're a oackage deal....stevie got alot of attention right away...and lindsey is actually the one the creates the music for stevies poems aka songs...she will start with a melody and words..and lindsy turns them into liquid gold to the ears...when they broke up..he has said in interviews..its hard to do that with her songs because of the hurt he never stipped loving her...and both feel if didnt join fm wld have got married...this song was about her btw that Lindsey wrote....all their songs about eachother

One of the greatest and most unique guitarists. He is self taught and incorporated banjo picking techniques into his style of playing. He’s been called the “guitar player’s guitarist” respected among other artists. Too under appreciated by the masses. I love just watching him on the guitar! His solo work is fantastic!

You should definitely check out their live performance of this song back in 75 (when the album came out) at Santa Barbara college. It's in the outdoor stadium and the video is here on KZfaq it's "I'm So Afraid" (the rosebud video)

The Dance as a full concert is amazing. You should definitely watch it.

I'm so glad that you're properly informed. Lindsey is awesome. One of the best ever, IMHO 😂 PLEASE listen to "Big Love/Go Insane", the best one is the live one from A Place in time. 9:19 long. You'll thank me❤Listen to all their songs.❤

Amazing I didn’t know!! The drums!

Mick and Lindsey are complete geniuses!!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸🎹🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘💜

Among the very best

I made the same discovery about LB about 2 years ago listening to this very song. I was speechless and I never had pictured him as that kind of a guitar player. There is a version of this that they recorded in 1977 in a outdoor concert setting and that is also special.

This song and "The Chain" are my fave Fleetwood Mac tunes. Dark, intense and haunting tension building

This song reminds me of the very early Fleetwood Mac, the stuff from before Christine joined the band in the early seventies. The were a blues band. They did a lot of instrumental numbers on their early albums and had a hit with Albotross. The classic lineup had 3 singer-songwriters, Christine, Stevie and Lindsey. Stevie's solo success has overshadowed the others but the songs are still there to be adored and respected, but more emportantly to be heard.

This song is pure insanity. Utter brilliance.

Lindsey’s playing on their Mirage Tour (1982) video made me a lifelong FM and LB fan. :-)

Have you not heard Go Your Own Way? That was his lead vocal and his breakup song to Stevie (hers being Dreams).

You may not have gotten your "Stevie" fix....but we got our "Lindsey" fix!!!! Totally KILLER song!!!!🎶🎼🎵🎹🎸🥁🎤🎧🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

One of their best tunes for sure.

You must react to bleed to love her! His vocals are insane! Not to mention Chains ❤

Don’t Stop from the same concert is so freaking amazing!

Fleetwood Mac has x 3 lead vocalists- Lindsey, Christine and Stevie. Lindsey and Christine are also master musicians and play a range of instruments. All 3 are songwriters with Lindsey (primarily), and Christine arranging the majority of the songs. Lindsey is also a producer. Later Fleetwood Mac credits him as their producer with the earlier albums credited to the whole band. IMO, he's the most underrated person in music, possibly ever. Any live setting is where Lindsey shines. FM live is where the bang is, great in the studio but live is just another thing entirely. Some of their full tours are on this platform, Japan '77, Mirage 82, The Dance '97, Tusk '79 and much more if you dig deep.

Check out his mad guitar skills on the song Big Love

My favorite song from Fleetwood Mac is "HOLD ME" (original video). Lots of Lindsay Buckingham and Christine McVie singing in it ❤❤

Lyndsay is the best singer in the band. Check out Monday Morning & Blue Letter. & Big Love

Lindsey and his guitar become one being during that solo. what's more amazing is he doesn't use a pick! just an incredible live performance.

Lindsey is the GOAT. Please please please do Big Love from the same concert.

You have to watch THE CHAIN Live 1982 performance. You will love it!

Fire! This whole show is amazing. The dvd and album are musts for any FM fan. This album sounds so good on my Bose. 👌🏼🔥 Everyone always raves about Stevie but I love Lindsey, his finger playing and his songs.

The best performance!! Love these guys! You'll h have to check out some more Lindsey. He's one of the best guitarists... LOVE THIS THANK YOU

One of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. The first time I saw them in 1975 I was amazed at how they sounded like a much heavier rock band. Amazed doesn't really describe it. Enjoyed watching with you!

To hear more Lindsay's fantastic guitar playing, I suggest the song, Go Insane, from the same concert. This concert, called The Dance, was made into a movie. The DVD is fantastic.

A very underrated guitar player

1st reaction I have seen to my fave track

Love how much you loved this performance. Eye opening isn’t it?

I’ve been waiting for this one !!! 🎸 🔥♥️ Lindsey really shows us his talent with this one 👍🏼 Love your reaction 🥰 I consider this one of their best!! Christine’s haunting keys, the bass & percussion, then there are the vocals 🔥🎤

I loved this concert--and I sure loved Lindsey's solo stuff!! You need to hear "Big Love" (same concert)!

I've always liked Lindsey's vocals. him, stevie, christine. they all had great voices.

Lindsey is a huge talent that often gets overlooked because you only see his true skills in a live setting. Check out The Chain 1982, Big Love from The Dance, and well, any live performance because him and Mick just bounce off each other.

Told you they are hard rock😮❤You were just properly introduced to Fleetwood Mac. They have a few Hundred more to check out.

Fantastique morceau je le connais depuis le début et je l'aime toujours

This is a band that started as a 3 man blues band. The original guitarist, the late Peter Green, is who actually named the band. Green, Mick Fleetwood (drums) and John McVie (bass) played together in many different bands and as studio musicians. Green said those two were the best rhythm section ever, which at the time they were. Green said if we start a band together, I'm going to call it Fleetwood Mac. The added 2 other guitarist Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan. Before they left that added a pianist/keyboardist Christine Perfect (her real last name). Christine ended up marrying John and took his name and was now Christine McVie. After Green, Spencer, and Kirwan left (not all at once) they added singer, lead guitarist, and songwriter Bob Welch. They transitioned into a rock band to become more marketable. They had some moderated success with songs like Hypnotized and Sentimental Lady. Welch then left and Mick went looking for a replacement for Welch. At a studio, he heard someone playing an album called Buckingham Nicks, found out that the male was Lindsey Buckingham. A singer, lead guitarist, and songwriter. Mick through his agent and Lindsey's agent met. Mick offered him the job. Lindsey, who was not only musical partners with Stevie, were also romantic partners, engaged. Lindsey said "We're a package deal'. Mick said "I already have a female keyboardist, singer, and songwriter, I don't need another female singer. Lindsey stuck to his guns and Mick took on what he called "Dead Weight" because Lindsey is a one of a kind musician. Mick later said, "How was I to know, that this little 5ft nothing girl, would write a song called "Rhiannon" that would launch the band into superstardom". These 5 are considered the Fab Five of Fleetwood Mac. Mick Fleetwood (drums), John McVie (bass), Christine McVie, god rest her soul (vocals, keyboards, and songwriter), Lindsey Buckingham (singer, lead & rhythm guitar, and songwriter), and Stevie Nicks (singer and songwriter, though she does play piano & guitar to write).

Fantastic!

I have watched this concert bro about 1000 times! IMO, it's one of the greatest concerts ever! The entire show is amazing, just like this song and and performance by Lindsay. Thx Salvo!!

Should see the version he does this song LIVE in the 90s and another LIVE of this in the 70s...just simply mind blowing performances

If you like this you will love Big Love/Go Insane by Lindsey. The version you want is posted by "A Place in Time" (it's 9:19 minutes). Its the best thing I've seen Lindsey do, I'm serious.

You should check out Buckingham’s solo work too, Salvo - tons of great tunes and guitar work!

Yeah Big Love is amazing!! Showcase Christine's vocals and keyboards on Songbird...classic!

Lindsey is lead vocals on quite a few of their hits! Where has this guy been??

Fleetwood Mac - Big Love - The Dance 1997

Fleetwood Mac is a compilation of powerful performers. There really are no second string here.

People don't realize there's really two Fleetwood Macs, the one in the studio and the one on stage. Live Fleetwood Mac is a monster.

O m g 😮 and thats how its done !

“Big love” from this concert is unmatched….

❤❤❤❤❤

Whatever live version you pick, Lindsey hypnotizes his audience with his overwhelming performances. He is just such a natural talent who taught himself to play guitar. Personally I think this version is the lesser one, only because his microphone was not amplified accurately. His singing is just as emotional as his guitarplaying. So sincere!

Your next two Fleetwood Mac reactions should definitely be Big Love and Go Your Own Way from this same concert. They both feature Lindsey at his absolute best!

Christine McVie passed away last November, and you need to hear her sing Songbird, a song she wrote for her husband John McVie, the bass player. They divorced, but the song always made John cry when she played it in concert. It's just her on the piano, and she will amaze you with her talent, too. She was the female singer/songwriter in the band before Stevie and Lindsey came along, and they all wrote song great songs, and that's one reason Fleetwood Mac can sound SO different, but amazing.

Gosh Salvo...I just love it when Lindsay has the spotlight...and so glad that you shared this video today! As others have commented, Lindsay is so underrated but he is such a brilliant composer, lyricist, guitarist and vocalist - imo, one of the best amidst the many greats of the era. You can see Lindsay pouring his soul into this song...so emotional, heart wrenching...he makes that guitar weep...PERFECTION! Thanks for a great reaction! I love seeing you being so surprised - and so appreciative - of this fantastic music created, produced and performed by incredibly talented musicians. Thanks!

Damn man. Thank you doing this one, F. I had the pleasure of seeing Fleetwood Mac in concert several times as a teen in the seventies. Even had a Buckingham Nicks album from before they joined FM but I've never even heard this song much less a live performance. Super talented dude both vocally as well making his guitar sing so fkn beautifully as well. Ive always thought Lindsey was underrated but this just shouts that out clearly. Thanks again. Mark

Tremendous performance, that was a big reunion and everyone played for the ages, magnificent! Lindsey has a unique style and a true star in his own right. There are many great songs, albums and eras for Fleetwood Mac but this band here was the best, and rightfully so. Stevie does more lead vocals but Lindsey and Christine are great vocalists and songwriters, too. If you have not heard the Chain from them, do that next. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

My favorites from Lindsey Buckingham included the theme from National Lampoon's Vacation (HOLIDAY ROAD) as well as the Outro as credits rolled, DANCIN' ACROSS THE USA (released as a single, sides A and B). Bob Welch was also an underrated Fleetwood Mac alumnus - check out his HYNOTIZED from their album Mystery To Me from '73, as he wrote it, sang lead and played lead guitar.
