Unbelievable that he is still performing at such a high level for so long. I'd pay to see him perform any chance I get!

[@snapperjw]

Sounds like three guitars at once - He is very much underrated as a guitar player. His right hand does so much work, amazing!

[@londontaxijim9526]

Ian Tyreman Ironic really, when Mac fired Lindsey, they replaced him with two guitarists on stage.

[@MaicFoxtrot]

He is amazing, you got to watch this song on higer speed in older performances specially the one in the dance.

[@z.j.gordon5127]

Not underrated... He is a Legend!!! The rest of those ungrateful members of the band, have to Set a Red Carpet for Lindsey Forever!!! He is one of the best guitarist of the story

[@BobABooey.]

Yes, this underrated guitar slinger is on Rolling Stones top 100 list of greatest guitar players of all time.

[@byah160]

The first time I heard it I thought it was two guitars. Then I looked up the tab and said fuck this. I can’t play this.

[@Jimb0tr0n]

He had just turned 69 three days prior to this performance. I hope I can rock that hard at that age.

[@atx0025]

Almost 70 and playing like he's still 20s. Dude is an absolute 🐐.

[@Gearhead-en8dz]

His finger pickin' on this song always blows my mind!

[@squonk86]

My favorite song by Lindsey and between his guitar playing and his great voice this song still kicks ass....

[@mogulstreetreserve]

It is insane that he performs this so well at the age of 69.

[@dommccaffry3802]

Good luck mike or neil having a go at that. People used to criticise me for liking FM rumours line up . " soft rock" they said ; i said , are you kidding ??? Just listen to what lindsey plays on back end of go your own way ? Savage thrilling guitar. Amongst a thousand other things. He brought a visceral energy to the band ( along with genius production and songs) but FM without him ??? Soft rock !

[@rstremcha]

This is literally one of my favorite songs and one the best Fleetwood songs ever. Lindsey is my everything 🔥🔥🔥

[@duhusker4383]

Well the original is nowhere near as brilliant as Lindsey's version.

[@blindnarcissus]

Sue the shit out of 'em, Lindsey!

[@musicgroopie1]

I wish Lindsey great success. I hope his music and shows out sell Fleetwood Mac. In my heart, there is no Fleetwood Mac without Buckingham!!

[@michaelpetersen5777]

He's already had his great success dude.

[@BuffaloVoice]

Lindsey is one of the greatest guitar player, singer/songwriter ever. FleetwoodMac firing him is the biggest mistake ever. They need two people to fill in for one.

[@jeffreynolds8592]

So true! I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty to edit your last sentence ...They tried two people to fill in for one!

[@benetta8275]

Wow! He is a legend! Lindsey should be considered in the very top guitarists of all time! That calypso like guitar runs give me goosebumps. He is a master! 😁👍💯💗💗

[@mikedebois2566]

When I hear him play this number like this,... shivers down my spine, and tears to my eyes!!! One of the truly greats!!! THIS is so amazing. Many thanks Lindsey!

[@BB-sn6yr]

He is the best ever!!

[@DeVermeuln]

It's clear how challenging this song is becoming to play for him. The changing tempo, the struggle is very obviously audible, but it kinda makes the performance even better in my ears and eyes. He still plays it naturally and great but you feel him becoming older. It puts a great tension to this song.

[@tamasvarga9862]

I think Lindsey still played it almost perfectly and the struggle was more so with his voice, not his playing. Just think about how he's been playing this for like 35 years, his fingerpicking stamina is forever baked into his arm and fingers. the banjo rolls at 2:01 are actually the hardest and he's doing it flawlessly without even a pinky planted on the guitar.

[@indirect977]

First time I’ve ever heard him miss a note

[@NickOmnia]

With age, keeping up at 133bpm becomes a bit shitty and difficult, and this one is even slowed down slightly for obvious reason. It's great how it still blows my mind when he plays and sings

[@CALLE92JOHANSSON]

He shakes his hand before playing, and the mistake is very early. I'm learning the song and can empathize, I also find it's hardest in the beginning before your fingers find the patterns. It's completely reliant on muscle memory and keeping the bass note tempo to guide the other notes, so that's where you screw up before getting into the rhythm. After playing this song you also have to shake the rhythm out of your hand, it's hard to introduce the right hand to another song after this shredding.

[@bigred22685]

Yeah we have to cut him some slack though, playing this song cleanly is extremely difficult even at a reduced tempo and the guy is 70.

[@AC-gi7mn]

@@CALLE92JOHANSSON I get that and I don’t play guitar but piano. Watching him play makes my right hand hurt. Amazing.

[@_Scintill8tor]

@@CALLE92JOHANSSON Man, cannot agree more. I learned how to play this great song, but it took me blood sweat and a lot of tears. And time. lots of time. lol But is so cool to play, and respect to LB!

[@jimk4334]

ooh aah magnificent Lindsey, as always. Don't ever stop.

[@msocean9919]

he always gets to my heart... love him

[@haplowest6566]

Unbelievably underated.

[@sylvatica7]

It's interesting to compare this rendition of Big love with Lindsay's performance of it in 1997 on 'The Dance' - this acoustic version is just as intense and powerful. What a talented singer and guitarist !

[@novaphonix8284]

Love you Lindsey, prayers and continued success to you; and you will have a great story coming. Know that Stevie is talented as well and she has to much bitterness in her; you love a person and you care for them and they only count the bad, and I believe she has resentment that you could go to have children and a partner( her age prevents the chance of children.) That's just my opinion, Stevie can't forgive a man that loved her for years, I hate to think of her heart bring that cold. I have ranted enough, maybe one-day she'll admit her love. Mick Fleetwood is a cold blooded, vicious user, who's to old to have not matured, he never will in my opinion. Yes, all this is what I believe. Rock On Lindsey!!!

[@OutlanderVideo]

Could any musician write such a powerful song nowadays?

[@NickOmnia]

Probably Eric Burton(black pumas) or John Mayer

[@indirect977]

Nick EvRy not even close

[@Wattchn]

john mayer is at least close

[@thedanalcantara]

Yes.

[@StratsRUs]

Not from the same heart where it was first done

One of the greatest guitar player's of all time

[@veritas3179]

LINDSEY LEGEND!

[@Suburb_hell]

I can’t imagine trying to learn this on guitar. So complex. And then to think to sing over it as well just blows my mind. And he was so young when he wrote this

[@indirect977]

Wasn’t he like mid forties?

[@scienceguy6918]

Pretty easy to learn on guitar actually. Been playing for years though so I have experience. Your fingers become used to it real quick. Tempo is hard but I can play at full speed now

[@mrc2662]

@@scienceguy6918 well aren’t you the hero. Knock yourself out. Anyway Bolin’s right - this is damn hard to play on the right way, at the right tempo, with the right rhythm…and then sing emotively on top. Absolutely incredible musician.

That right hand was weary after a full day, and a full career! Still amazing

[@h4r4]

I really hope to master this on guitar one day. I like to think I’ve been playing a fairly long time but still can’t get the part from 1:53 down. It’s a monster of a picker this song.

Big love 1987

[@starringchristopher]

oh my.....

[@high-endvintagelover5779]

I fucking love that song’ ❤❤❤❤

[@marki_horvath]

He was 60-something when performed this?! Just wow. I clearly hear the difference from how he used to play this song, but this is an incredible performance concidering his age. There’s something nice in how he got slower or missed notes.

[@GraemeGowling]

He was nearly 70

[@petepratti251]

That is the first time I have ever heard him make a mistake

[@howielong2835]

Unbelievable, just try to play that on guitar, all the while singing the lead vocals. A Fleetwood Smack across the face!

[@tcmusic6429]

He’s done this song in this way since 1997. No “smack” in the face to FM at all. Lmao

[@NatureGirl62]

[@roybiedrycki4003]

Rock on Lindsey you should have fired fleetwood mac

[@tcmusic6429]

Yeah, that’s not how that works.

[@betamusic5487]

He's showing his age now. Faltering a bit. But credit to him. He's a legend.

[@Jimmyjames11111]

Did he move the capo down to the 3rd fret ?

[@lassekrnerpetersen728]

Yeah

[@NickOmnia]

Yes, might be for lose strings or have a more chill version of it

[@Pugrug.]

yeah its he used to put it on the 4th fret

[@trixlee5102]

Quite possibly he's dropped it down a half-step to help with the range of his voice as he has gotten older.

[@Ritzi66]

Yeah

[@jimjones6915]

When are you playing Vegas?. Heard you on a solo gig at the Hard Rock a few years ago.

[@paulpattyn7742]

I believe the hardest song to play .

[@pedrorobertomoraes2904]

That guitar solo....

[@fasteagle9959]

Man, Lindsey can Travis pick like a mother

[@apbecker]

This is just regular fingerstyle picking :p

[@krisscanlon4051]

I think that Macs version was nice comeback but this had to be the sound of the original demo. LB is great with technology but it all comes back to his acoustic work.

[@chromiumveins]

Which this were actually live, like "All you need is love" in 1967. If the Beatles could do it live then, certainly JPJ could make it happen live in 2022.

[@deweycheatemandhowe2446]

YOU'RE FIRED!

Hahahhaha

[@FlorenciaE]

Seriously such a loss

[@Warrensdeciple]

Oh i'll Build you a Kingdom in that house on the Hill !

[@alsillman7049]

He used to play it with a pick!

[@cesardunning7789]

He don´t miss the note, he hide the note into his hand.

[@jeffren70]

He always looks like he just got off a rocket sled.

[@craigbrewster6977]

Anyone know what make of guitar that is?

[@ultimategmoneyremaber1821]

Underrated this song was used in the best part of the worst top gear spieacl part 2

[@debrasimms716]

I didn't hear it? and even if I did I love mistakes, they make us human

[@tcmusic6429]

First few chords of the song he misses more than one note. No biggie though.

[@tonychown3302]

Only 3?

[@Nae395]

Etheral

[@pjford1118]

Weird how many notes he plays with so little hand movement

[@gregorysmith2548]

Where was Stevie to save him?

[@MrAdam8484]

Fleetwood Mac would've finished years ago if it wasn't for Lindsay Buckingham... They should remember that..

[@youtubkeeper]

I'm sorry everyone because you'll never be able to unhear this... He sounds a bit like Trump when he speaks.

[@shutterbug_713]

3:07 amazing how he can feminize his voice without a sampler!

[@cheryllean2032]

No pick!

[@geoffreybreasley9845]

Give it rest Lindsey's

[@BestDanTheMan80]

0:02 sounds like Donald trump 😂

Лажает. Старый)

[@dickpound2485]

Trivia: find me the correct time he fucked up and missed two beats.

[@richardhelliwell1210]

Fleetwood Muck need 11 people on stage & they're not as talented nor entertaining as the one guy I see here. Get well soon!

[@noway9010]

Oh, man. That was all over the place. Ageing sucks. :/

[@jawtiks618]

he just turned 69 and he can still perform this song...

[@videotmy]

You’re kidding right

[@videotmy]

He is an amazing artist. Few possess such raw talent

[@noway9010]

@@videotmy Not even a little. It's slower, the rhythm takes a dive on 3 separate instances, he straight up fucks up the easiest part of the song and his overall vocal performance is the worst I've ever seen or heard from him. He is an amazing artist. That performance was not.

[@videotmy]

I beg to differ. We all age, but even on his worst day there are few artists capable of putting on a performace as good as that.

[@davemcmillan8979]

Superb guitarist. No business being near a microphone though
