Lindsey Buckingham

Photon,

Agree that the acoutic stuff shows off his right hand. I'd add that the electric stuff reveals an active left side as well! Absolutely love both, so far this cd continues to amaze me.

Drubin,

The first track may scare you - his voice is, well, ...you know. But try to ignore it and listen to that gitar playin' behind him! I suspect that LB doesn't really like the sound of his own voice - maybe he still misses having Stevie do the singing. To my ear, the instrumental tracks sound much better than the vocals. As I noted in my first post, at least he brings his guitars forward in the mix on this one which was - for me - an issue on the otherwise excellent and underappreciated last release form Fleetwood Mac "Say You Will".

I really like "Live at the Bass Performance Hall". It is both a CD and DVD. The DVD is fantastic showing what an exellent artist (fantastic guitar playing) Lindsey is. The DVD has very good sound! In fact almost better that the CD!

The vinyl version is an all analog album - recorded, mixed, and mastered on analog tape with no compression. The commercial CD has some compression in the mastering I believe, but the LP and the free CD that comes with it are totally uncompressed.

It makes a big difference to my ears and I find this to be an immensely enjoyable album. More like this please.

I have the commercial CD and the sound quality is terrible. Everything sounds thin, no bass.

Floyd,

I'm a bit surprised by the "no bass" cmment. I just listened again - loud - and that didn't really strike me as an issue. Some of the multi tracked guitars (starting with track one) are dramatically recorded. The vocal tracks vary all over, from unremarkable to pretty awful. LB's preferred sound can be a bit "splashy" and forward through the presence region and this one is no exception. I've also had some tracking issues. In all, the sound quality of this realease strikes me as "up and down", but I wouldn't argue with anyone who says more "down" than "up".

OTOH, the music and playing is IMHO spectacular and I'm starting to believe that this cd ranks with the very best (of the 3,000 or so) pop records that I own.
