Friend saw Rammstein live a few months ago. Said it was the most entertaining concert he'd ever gone to. I'd love to see Seether play "Broken" with Three Days Grace. Seen the youtube vids of previous shows, but I'd love to hear that in person.
I was there....Lindsey Buckingham: "So we sat around, and wrote a few more songs until Lee got himself a deal with Polydor, and we cut an album: 'Buckingham Nicks' - Polydor 5058 - Nov 1975... but the record stiffed out, and we were back to square one." ....
"Well, our musical activities weren't bringing in abundant amounts of money so, rather than get involved in scenes we, couldn't relate to, we took jobs... Stevie worked as a waitress..... And I worked for an agency - sitting on the phone and soliciting advertisements... It wasn't the most spectacular of lifestyles...
"During this time, despite the hardships, we had complete faith in what we were trying to do. We had these managers who were trying get us to do "Top 40" stuff: they said they could get us all the gigs we could handle, if only we'd be prepared to play that king of music - but Stevie and I knew that if we did, we'd lose whatever musical direction we had, and we didn't want to prostitute ourselves. So we resisted that and, as a result, got no gigs..... nobody wanted to hear Buckingham Nicks doing their own songs."
Well........ almost nobody - because we had this very strange localized success..... a little pocket of isolated Buckingham Nicks mania! Of the few gigs we'd done, two were in Birmingham Alabama; the first was opening for Mountain, and the second was opening for Poco... and for some reason, we really caught fire in that town. Some DJs had picked up on the album, and it was a huge success there - so we went down a storm! If nowhere else in the world, Buckingham Nicks were stars in Birmingham Alabama".
"It so happens that our last gig as Buckingham Nicks was at Birmingham just after we'd joined Fleetwood Mac. As a result of our 2 previous gigs, we were booked as the headline act, and the line-up was: Stevie Nicks - Vocals; Lindsey Buckingham - guitar/vocals.... So we topped the bill to an audience of 7,000 and Bucking Nicks went out on a much higher note than anyone had expected".
