Lindsey Buckingham dazzles

Lindsey Buckingham played for the best part of two hours last Wednesday at the venerable Commodore Ballroom - on his own and with the backing of his touring three-piece - and proved he still is a brilliant guitarist and songwriting genius.
It's been about 15 years since he last played the Commodore, then hot on the heels of his Out of the Cradle CD. This time it was in support of his latest Under the Skin release, and he apologized from the stage for the long gap between but promised to return next year with a new CD and tour. He did say he's married and raising a young family, which probably accounts for his lengthy absence.
He gave us the Fleetwood Mac hits - Tusk, Don't Stop, Big Love - as well as his solo hits like Trouble (the latter performed all on his own at the start of the show). It was never an exercise in nostalgia though, as much as it may have brought back fond memories for the many happy fans gathered round the stage.
This was a man still in his prime, and here's hoping the best is yet to come.
