Fleetwood Mac - I'm So Afraid - 10/17/1975 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

[@difranma]

Lindsey is truly one of the best ever. He never received the recognition that he deserves. Whenever he had to be replaced by Fleetwood Mac, they did so by using two or three guitar players. I would say that he is easily top five.

[@Diostillrocks]

Lindsey is not even in the top 5 guitarists of Fleetwood Mac.

[@Diostillrocks]

@David Wendell Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, Bob Weston, and Mike Campbell are/were better guitarists than Lindsesy.

[@THElaulauman]

Agreed!

[@jannordberg1539]

@@Diostillrocks Hahahahahahaha, no way. Maybe Peter.

[@Diostillrocks]

@@jannordberg1539 yes, way. Lindsey struggled trying to cover other Fleetwood Mac's guitarist songs.

[@raycity1234]

As he aged his voice only got deeper and richer a true talent.

[@BradP76]

This is my favorite FM song, he was really given the short end of the stick with them.

[@Cosmogirl014]

Same!!! He's a beast - love him.

[@hardrockincanuck1]

Great tune. Came accross this by accident when looking up the 25 Years The Chain boxset. Today is my birthday; I turned two years old on the day this was released. Sure makes me wonder what life was like back in 1975. Can't help but think times were much simpler than they are today.

[@davidmiles533]

I saw this tour in Buffalo as well as three others in Los Angeles. This is Fleetwood Mac. There is no concert worth what they cost ( for me ) without Lindsey.

[@johnpepe180]

My favorite Lindsey Buckingham song ever......A master at his craft.......

[@lukemccardle2379]

I agree.

[@jcsmamacita]

I would have loved to be around in the era of young Lindsey

[@judeward5341]

See 1.34 for a few seconds - shake those curls...

[@davidmiles533]

It was amazing

[@derekmcewen3631]

What an incredible performance ! Would have loved to have seen them back then.

[@ingridscott4388]

was at the rumors tour Still best show ever

[@mariefc8504]

I did! At the Cow Palace in Oakland '78. It was sold out and quite an experience.

[@derekmcewen3631]

@@mariefc8504 Nice !

[@lorihill3531]

Their vocals are killer on this.

[@Exakta66]

Wonderful performance...

[@marcusteblano6376]

My favorite Fleetwood Mac song. Does Lindsey have any guitar work from his solo career that matches this?

[@stevegibbons1975]

Long distance winner, it’s not as heavy but really good 👍

[@bluehavencd]

the guitar solo is among the best in Rock history. I'm a headbanger since 1988, and this solo has always impressed me.

[@rickhaynes8148]

One of my favorite songs then and now

[@petermiller1839]

Countdown

[@ashnoyatrushanyan6599]

Super!!! In my opinion one of the best of Fleetwood Mac!

[@janesoares2110]

I do... Perfect. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@dediscipel2399]

Fleetwood Mac...Lindsey Buckingham...LEGENDARY! Musical Genius!

[@alanlevy9193]

the only thing wrong here is its not long enough - but of course they did expand it later - just one of the best guitar solos ever to me

[@THElaulauman]

Not a damn thing wrong here. Get a grip!

[@_mickmccarthy]

@@THElaulauman Not sure if it's just the higher quality of later recordings, but the version from The Dance is definitely a level above this one IMO

[@pancakepierce]

i always loved Fleetwood Mac, all of them .But Lindsey was the main talent.

[@zodspeed]

Top 5 guitarist all time

[@jimuhler8100]

My 1st show seeing Fleetwood Mac at one of the great concert halls no longer in existence. A year later they were playing MSG. Glad I got to see them in a small hall before they exploded onto the mainstream.

[@jeffreyholmes4083]

Majestic.

[@c.b.stumpf8634]

One of best versions

[@bpsun1609]

Great song to play when you're in the hospital for an extented period.

[@edfederoff2679]

WOW! I've listened to as many versions of this as I can find in the last few days - this is the oldest. I'm amazed at how much his lead playing improved from this point up thru the early '80's - it's incredible.

[@bonniebond-hornig5161]

Love this song 🎵 Beautiful guitar 🎸 work and vocals…makes me feel good 😊🦋

[@NatureHeadSupreme]

Thanks KZbin for having these videos!

[@rebeccacann1808]

Lindsey is awesome.💜

[@francisursida5459]

Classic Lindsey jam and one of my favorites and even better when I caught it live 😊 a bunch of times

[@markrobinson8410]

This song and never going back are my favorite Fleetwood mac songs

[@benstolz6503]

Mick's chops are so tasty.

[@davidoran123]

The MAC will never be surpassed

[@marcjacobscontinued9411]

I have a feeling these guys could make it big after this period.......

[@davidcavan8227]

That guitar needs a damn cigarette, or blunt, or something because Lindsey's fucking killed it on the solo!

[@darrenalmli7931]

Mesmerizing!

[@30daymissionman]

Two things make me sad about this. The first is that Lyndsey has never received enough recognition for his talent and the second is that there are no new bands of this quality

[@joanadealbuquerque701]

Great performance real

[@miked6426]

Love to hear Lindsey play. .so much heart

[@patlhirondelle3046]

un groupe que j'ai découvert en 1976 et que j'ai toujours aimé!

[@ShoJ369]

My Favourite Lyndsey song too, however Christine is too loud on the keyboard here, it's hard to hear Lyndsey's great guitar.

[@ДмитрийСкрипко-п3в]

Один из шедевров мировой музыки 🤘

[@doreenjuilfs7370]

I was 16 in 1975, and I'm sure I was completely unaware of Lindsey's hotness!

[@hdstudios178]

im 16 in 2 years lol

[@axxxonn]

Stevie though....

[@judeward5341]

He doesn’t seem aware of it himself, and doesn’t play it up at all.

[@bellazonna6510]

@@judeward5341 LOL, he knew! It is little talked about in all the drama (Stevie didn't talk about it publicly very often) but Lyndsey's extreme handsomeness and lady-killer ways (hooking up with beautiful Mac fans and being a hot rock star) is one of the reasons they broke up.

[@judeward5341]

@@bellazonna6510 Right... not really surprised. But my point was - that unlike some rock stars who make a point of ACTING sexy in an overt way, Lindsey just focused on making the music and just WAS sexy. I grant you he must have realised how handsome he was. But it was like he just didn’t need - or couldn’t be bothered - to play up to it. Still... thanks for the info. It’s all sooo fascinating.

[@Edson11-h8h]

Magnífico

[@gmonsen]

Wonderful, but still prefer the 1982 version. Interesting to hear the difference 7 years makes.

[@sfbayareagirl]

That’s the best version.

[@dusanpogacar1399]

Nooo! This is much better, 82 version is to slow.

I’m So Old......!

[@THElaulauman]

I was there, and was blown away by so much talent.

[@lobo4351]

bonita juventud

[@dennisdevine3382]

I saw The Mac do this song live back in 75. Lindsey played the solo like the earlier Mac guitarists (Green, Kirwan & Spencer), it was totaly awesome.

[@sfbayareagirl]

Lindsey wrote this song, so it wasn’t played by Pete Green and co.

[@SyonNathanAaronAstinHewson]

You’re right you do get scared of life you’re only brave when you’re drunk which was most of the time.You’re afraid of consequences of your ill thought out actions too

[@tommysfather]

Lindsey doesn't have to take a back seat to anyone playing guitar, Clapton or anyone else! This coming from a Clapton fan.

[@Diostillrocks]

Lindsey wasn't even in the top 5 guitarists in the band.

[@joroberts7855]

In your opinion ,in mine he is brilliant to watch and hear .

[@peterwest5525]

Awesome keyboard accompiniant, but Christine McVie is never shown.

[@bfdmudk]

AH, but you see her back at least twice ;-) I wonder if the production team is related to the unspeakable morons who produced the broadcast of the Live8 reunion of Pink Floyd and essentially ignored Richard Wright!

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

Most of these “ experts” on great guitarists have probably never even held a guitar much less played one .

[@peteriuliano5846]

Very Interesting That NICKS/BUCKINGHAM Became FLEETWOOD MAC Or Vice Versa.

[@lesliehiles3122]

Love mac wood fleets....love you too much to do what I want fright fear of displeasure God knows where we've been..........down down down too many roads

[@LetArtsLive]

I think this song is about addiction. It is the last song my son ever listen to on January 21st 2022 Daniel Cherry Jr died he was my son. The song says if I slip and fall that means get back on drugs or alcohol or whatever to me that's what it means nobody really knows except them the people who wrote it

[@justinhogan7248]

Lindsey actually wrote this song during about of mononucleosis that took him almost a year too recover from that's what it's about going through that sickness. But the nice thing about art is it can mean many different things to different people😊 I'm so sorry about your son I'm a removing addict of almost 20 years so I understand the consequences of the life. I know that one day you will reunite with him this life on earth is only a temporary stop for our everlasting spiritual being that we are.

[@Showboat_Six]

Ah the 70’s, all guys had long hair and beards, thinking they were so cool!!!

WTF?! No, please don't go there! "just like a man" and that "it is said men usually play better." Get outta here with that sexist bullshit. Women have had to fight our way into the rock world, but there is absolutely nothing about being a man that makes a better keyboard or piano player.
