He says he isn\u2019t nervous.<\/p>\n<p>Before defenders of the public virtue take alarm, it should be noted that Buckingham\u2019s rite of passage, while it may involve some loud noises and sweating, will be purely musical.<\/p>\n<p>At 42, Buckingham is no blushing bride in the world of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. To the contrary, he is a tremendously savvy pop-rock craftsman whose contributions as a singer, songwriter, guitarist and, most crucially, as an arranger and recording studio <i>auteur<\/i>were indispensable in transforming Fleetwood Mac from a dogged band of hard-luck barnstormers to a paragon of pop success. This is one guy who chased after musical fame and fortune and found out what it was like to go all the way.<\/p>\n<p>However, he has never played a show in which he had to go all the way on his own. That will change at the Coach House tonight, when he will play the first concert of his life in which he\u2019ll be leading a band by himself (he and the band will be back again Friday).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>What will be different? No more doing other people\u2019s material, for one thing. No more sharing the singing and the spotlight with a dizzily twirling sprite and a piano-plinking songbird. No more having the band named after the drummer and the bass player. Finally, Buckingham, who has put together a nine-member group of unknowns, gets to play a concert that can go all <i>his<\/i> own way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m fairly confident about it,\u201d he said over the phone recently from his house in Bel-Air. \u201cI always felt much of the high-energy stuff in the Fleetwood Mac shows was carried by my tunes,\u201d so he feels there\u2019s no reason to worry about being able to carry his own show.<\/p>\n<p>He has performed his own material live on television, including appearances in recent months on the David Letterman and Jay Leno shows to promote his current album, \u201cOut of the Cradle.\u201d But those were performances involving just one or two songs, not an entire concert. In fact, it has been 10 years since Buckingham played a full concert of any sort. That was in 1982, during his last tour with Fleetwood Mac. It was his unwillingness to tour after Mac\u2019s 1987 release, \u201cTango in the Night,\u201d that led to his departure after 12 years with the band.<\/p>\n<p>During the last 10 years, he has been on stage in front of concert audiences just three times, and then only for cameo appearances. In 1986, he played a short set at the Long Beach Arena during an environmental benefit organized by Don Henley. In December, 1990, when the post-Buckingham lineup of Fleetwood Mac played two farewell concerts at the Forum in Inglewood, he did a pair of brief guest spots.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the intervening time he has spent in his recording studio at home. You can see him there on the cover of his album, a figure in silhouette, sitting alone with a tape machine and a mixing board.<\/p>\n<p>He says he sat in that room for three years making \u201cOut of the Cradle,\u201d singing every vocal part and playing virtually all the instruments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou spend three years socked away playing this stuff yourself&#8211;it was cathartic, but hermetically sealed. It was like being locked away in a monastery for a while, but it was necessary to let things rise to the surface. It had a purpose behind it\u201d&#8211;namely, to let Buckingham find his creative balance apart from Fleetwood Mac.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s ironic that someone who has been (making records) this long would call an album \u2018Out of the Cradle,\u2019 \u201d he said, but \u201cFleetwood Mac was a cradled situation, an atmosphere that made you adept at stoking the money-making machine. It didn\u2019t reinforce you to grow as a person. In some ways, it almost encouraged you not to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole thing is geared up to \u2018If (a musical formula) works, run it into the ground.\u2019 \u201d Perhaps not the most satisfying arrangement for an ambitious artist, but, as Buckingham acknowledges, \u201cit\u2019s great for the notoriety and creative freedom and money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Few people in any line of work would walk away easily from fringe benefits like those. Buckingham\u2019s solution while reaping them with Fleetwood Mac was to exercise what he calls the \u201cleft side\u201d of his creativity&#8211;the more experimental part&#8211;while harnessing the \u201cright side\u201d for the hit-making that Fleetwood Mac required.<\/p>\n<p>His impatience with retracing already-covered ground became apparent on Fleetwood Mac\u2019s 1979 double-album \u201cTusk\u201d which, due largely to his influence, was a sharp departure from the much-beloved \u201cRumours,\u201d the 1977 release that had been one of the hottest-selling rock records of all time. \u201cTusk\u201d wasn\u2019t exactly a commercial failure, but its tinkering with the sleek sound established with \u201cRumours\u201d and \u201cFleetwood Mac,\u201d the album in 1975 that was Buckingham\u2019s first with the band, led to a steep drop in sales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it became clear (\u2018Tusk\u2019) was not going to sell another 16 million copies,\u201d he recalled, \u201cthere was kind of a backlash that said, \u2018Lindsey, you\u2019re not going to do this in the group any more.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>His answer was to make albums of his own between Fleetwood Mac records. \u201cLaw and Order\u201d (1981) featured an almost campy streak of musical humor that never would have worked in Fleetwood Mac, and \u201cGo Insane\u201d (1984) was an indulgent but masterful display of studio wizardry.<\/p>\n<p>He started work on a third album but wound up folding it into one last album with Fleetwood Mac, \u201cTango in the Night.\u201d But when \u201cTango\u201d was completed and tour plans were underway, he decided he couldn\u2019t face another round of live shows with the band, and he quit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t just the (prospect of) touring. It was the whole circus. It just wasn\u2019t making sense any more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoul Drifter,\u201d a track from \u201cOut of the Cradle\u201d that has just been released as a video, reflects Buckingham\u2019s feelings during his last days with Fleetwood Mac:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>I\u2019m a soul drifter, and I\u2019m out of this town.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Ain\u2019t no use hangin\u2019 \u2018round, you see . . .<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>I\u2019m a soul lifter, and it\u2019s out of my hands,<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>So it\u2019s off to other lands, you see.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI wrote that while (Fleetwood Mac) was here at my house, where we did most of the work on \u2018Tango.\u2019 The band was in the garage, mixing the album, and I was in my bedroom, writing that song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In any case, having left the cradle of Fleetwood Mac, he quickly bundled himself away in another sort of cradle: his home recording studio.<\/p>\n<p>Some might argue that it\u2019s a tad unhealthy to spend years ensconced virtually alone in a studio (Buckingham did have the help of Richard Dashut, his friend and longtime record-producing partner). One can point to Phil Spector and Brian Wilson, two record-production geniuses who wound up cutting themselves off entirely from any semblance of normal relation to the world.<\/p>\n<p>And, the argument might continue, even if the studio hermit maintains balance in his personal life, he is sacrificing the highest and purest reward of music-making, the experience of interaction and community that comes with playing with other musicians, for other people.<\/p>\n<p>Buckingham doesn\u2019t buy it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a preconception of what music is, and I don\u2019t think it necessarily holds water,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m aware that I\u2019m a studio rat, and I\u2019m aware that a lot I have to offer is tied in to a studio situation. I perceive the recording studio as just another musical instrument, a canvas on which you can paint. It depends on your point of view, if you see that as being suspect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, he will allow that a case of recording studio cabin fever is now \u201cpart of the reason for going on the road,\u201d and that \u201cit\u2019s going to be psychologically (beneficial) for me to be out in external situations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To that end, he said, he hasn\u2019t set foot in his home recording studio since finishing \u201cOut of the Cradle.\u201d Instead, he has devoted the past few months to assembling his new band.<\/p>\n<p>One thing he didn\u2019t want to do, he said, was have people who make their living as touring pros. Rather, he wanted people \u201cwho have a slightly more detached view of the whole thing. I went through quite a bit of auditioning to find the right combination, and it had as much to do with personality as chops,\u201d that is, technical expertise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to try a concept, with lots of guitars\u201d and an unconventional rhythm approach. The result is a band with four guitarists in addition to Buckingham himself, and three percussionists, not one of whom plays on a conventional full-size trap-drum kit. Also on hand are a bassist, and a keyboards player whose palette of prepackaged samples includes some of the multilayered vocal textures that distinguish Buckingham\u2019s studio sound and can\u2019t be duplicated in real time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were times in Fleetwood Mac,\u201d he recalled, \u201cwhen I experienced a sense of not being able to do something as well as it could be done (in concert), because it was your basic four-piece (instrumental) unit\u201d&#8211;which is why he made the first band of his post-Mac career your not-so-basic 10-piece unit.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the guitarists are women. \u201cYou would think I\u2019d had enough girls by now,\u201d he said, a joking reference to the Fleetwood Mac lineup that featured Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie. But he knows he needs female voices to get that old harmony sound for the Fleetwood Mac oldies he intends to play. \u201cI\u2019m still doing some of my better-known things,\u201d he said. \u201cIt would be a mistake not to, because people want to hear that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the Coach House shows, \u201cwe\u2019re establishing contact with an audience . . . . It\u2019s kind of a preparation for a TV thing we\u2019re going to be doing in Chicago,\u201d a taping Dec. 18 for a new series called \u201cCenter Stage,\u201d a joint production of VH-1 and PBS, set to debut next spring that will feature live concerts before a studio audience, along the lines of \u201cMTV Unplugged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buckingham said he plans a 20- to 30-city national tour of theater-size venues starting in February. If he gets lucky, the tour will give a needed jump-start to \u201cOut of the Cradle.\u201d Released about six months ago, it stalled in August at No. 128, then quickly dropped off the Billboard chart. \u201cIt has been slow. I think we\u2019ve done about 200,000 (in sales), which is just OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As he prepares to tour, though, he said he is looking forward to other things besides jacking up sales figures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA band situation and touring starts off as a support mechanism (to push an album), but this (band) has taken on such a life of its own, it\u2019s creating so much juice, that in some ways I\u2019ve let go of the album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Buckingham moves forward with his career, Fleetwood Mac fans can decide whether to shell out for a newly released boxed set retrospective, \u201c25 Years: The Chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His involvement in preparing the collection \u201cwas not much at all,\u201d Buckingham said. \u201cI helped Richard Dashut produce a new song for Stevie (\u2018Paper Doll,\u2019 on which Buckingham plays some guitar). There also were a couple of rare things of mine that had not seen the light of day that I had to put my stamp of approval on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he was glad, though, that work on the boxed set allowed him to spend some time with Mick Fleetwood, the drummer and Fleetwood Mac co-founder whose book two years ago, \u201cFleetwood: My Life and Adventures in Fleetwood Mac,\u201d didn\u2019t always paint Buckingham in the most favorable light.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s something in it about me slapping Stevie, which never happened,\u201d Buckingham said, referring to Fleetwood\u2019s account of a final blow-up when Buckingham announced he was quitting the band and wouldn\u2019t be touring to support \u201cTango in the Night.\u201d Also, Buckingham said, \u201cthere\u2019s a lot of hard-line interpretation of things. Mick was understating my contributions, which came from some bitterness he had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buckingham says the bitterness is resolved now on both sides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I saw him during the course of putting the boxed set together, he was extremely apologetic about the book in general. He realizes now it was hurtful. His personal life is doing OK now, and it was nice to see him. There was a nice sense of closure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>Original link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1992-12-10-ol-2617-story.html\">https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1992-12-10-ol-2617-story.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mike Boehm\u00a0 Dec. 10, 1992 Lindsey Buckingham is scheduled to lose his virginity tonight at 8 in front of 500 people.
