Even though he was once one of the great "pop stars" in the world...Lindsey Buckingham is an artist. He creates songs from his heart...he plays guitar in a unique and beautiful way and really truly is like no other. Spending an hour and a half with him in concert is inspiring and fun...and speaking of fun, Lindsey can be so personal and heavy in his art its great when he just plays dumb/fun rock and "Holiday Road" which was his theme for National Lampoons "Vacation" gets a real workout at this show!

The quality of the picture and sound were superb. It was just like being at Bass Hall.

If I talk about Beethoven, Rossini, Bartok... Lindsey becomes a classic in this century ! This concert has improved all from the previous. The recording was superb and the musicians also were doing the best performance. He was so devoted and dedicated at the song " I Am So Afraid ". I burst into tears every time when playing this title !

I have always enjoyed the unique singing and playing style of LB.
He's a power house on guitar and vocals.(with or without the Mac)
Great video, captures all his musical force.

LB is a very stylistic guitarist that not only gets the job done, but goes on beyond that. He can flow and he is also one of those exceptional players that absolutely loses himself to the music. If one plays an instrument improvisationaly you know what I mean. One goes into a different space where something absolutely new is being created on the spot. Lindsey Buckingham can and does do this. This dvd is worthy of anyone's music library. Get it!

We went to see this concert at the beautiful Bass Hall in Fort Worth. He let us know they were making a DVD of the performance, so we could hardly wait. It didn't disappoint! If you're a Lindsey Buckingham fan-(or even Fleetwood Mac fan), you will love this!

Yet another fantastic live performance by lindsay buckingham. He always seems to be giving his all while on stage. You just know he loves what he does. The song selection was excellent. I wish the song trouble wouldnt have been done acoustic though, the original uptempo style of this song is so much better. Lindsays not afraid to make an ass out of himself, all the hollerin and dancing would problaly embarrass alot of artist but lindsays so caught up in the moment that he cant help himself. I to agree with another reviewer on here about lindsay not doing anything from the out of the cradle cd. This is his best solo album and I to wonder why he chooses not to perform any of these songs live. The sound on this dvd is superb. All in all this is a must have if your a fan of this extrordinary musician.

I was really disappointed that nothing was included from what I think is Lindsey's best CD, "Out Of The Cradle".

And I wondered why we needed yet ANOTHER live version of "Big Love" and "I'm So Afraid"? We have live versions of both on "The Dance" and "Live In Boston" while "I'm So Afraid" is also on their first live CD.

Because I've always loved "Go Your Own Way" I don't mind that being on here. And the slowed down reworkings of "Trouble" and "Go Insane" are terrific--I wish "Tusk" was also on the CD (it's only on the DVD.)

As for the concert, it's okay--you watch it once or skip around and watch your favorite songs. Then file it away.

The "Not Too Late" documentary consists of home movies of his family and some music videos (very raw) he did for his "Under The Skin" CD. Sounds like he was trying to get a record deal for "Under The Skin" and talks about how the record industry doesn't give new artists a chance and his solo contract with Warners expired....but they went on to release "Skin" and this collection. So it makes his whole point sort of moot.

I was no fan of "Under The Skin" but this live collection caused me to go back and listen to it again. It's a little too personal, "too produced" but has some great songs....but nothing like "Out of the Cradle."

So because other than the new arrangements of some old favorites, there's not much here/hear.

So, 3 stars. GOOD, but not GREAT...and certainly not EXCELLENT.
