Fleetwood Mac/Lindsey Buckingham ~ I'm So Afraid (Rosebud) ~ Live 1976 

Lindsey could NOT put much more passion and energy into this performance, and Stevie's harmony is pure, understated perfection.

One of the most underrated guitarists in Rock n roll. He's one of the best.

This song touches my very soul with its lyrics I cannot listen to it without feeling pain

I discovered Fleetwood Mac a little while ago and found this song so entrancing and beautiful. It captured my feelings wonderfully and I loved singing along to it so I performed it live at the concert night of my music school recently. Sometimes I wonder what Lindsey would’ve thought if someone told him then that a teenage girl from Germany would sing his song nearly fifty years later :’)

I feel such a fool that it took me 44 years to listen to this!

The guitar solo is the most expressive solo that captures the the essence of the song ever. There's off-keys and janky timing that scream with agony and chaos. Its marvelous.

Oh how Lindsey rocks on his solo!!!!!!!!!! For a song to build to such an awesome crescendo it has to be something special........and this is it!!!!

those guitar solo was absolutely melancholy mystically beautiful❤

Did anyone else notice how amazingly well both Lindsey and Mick always synchronise with each other?

I love this song but more than anything its this performance I love. The album version and all the other live performances don't even come close to this. Simply AMAZING!!!

This is beyond brilliance.

This song HAUNTED me for many, many years. I was a young impressionable teenager and on one of those rare nights I was allowed to stay up late to watch Miami Vice there was a scene where they used this song. I think it was the scene where one of the side characters of the Vice team was killed and he was found dead in the showers. I can’t remember the details nor have I ever seen that scene again, but the chorus imprinted itself in my brain and many, many years later I found out what the song was and by whom. Smells and sounds are powerful senses to evoke emotions.

Lindsay is one beautiful talented man

Absolutely underrated as guitarist -- Lindsay Buckingham. Man, this version is better than the studio version definitely. Fabulous tone also. Would LOVE to know the setup from this show.

Omg I love it it is my all time favorite version of this song and Lindsey is rocking it🤘🎸❤️❣️

three years later there are people like me enjoying... thanks

Best live performance I'd ever seen!

favorite version ever. simple as that. thanks.

It's one of my all-time faves too. Thanks a bunch for commenting and for viewing my video!! (:

God this song came alive when they performed it live that summer. Apparently it was a million degrees that day in SB and they just crushed it. Lindsey was at his peak in 76/77.

Love this song ♥️

Best rendition of this song by far!

Pure awesomeness 🔥🔥🔥🔥✨

Glad that you enjoyed this. (:

one of the greatest bands live imo

This performance left me breathless. Words are not enough to describe it.......

Love you Lindsay Buckingham ❤💓

This is great..I got goosebumps from that awesome solo..YES

This is brilliant. Тhey have forgotten how they once sounded. Today, I do not even listen them. They had turned into a pale shadow of what they were.

I will never get tired of this.

Best picker in my opinion

Epic! 🔥

Best solo...I've heard in a while...

Awesomeness ❤

Such a talented, passionate and drop dead gorgeous guy❤.

Oh God, how I wish this is how the song had sounded on the album.

covered in goosebumps

Thx for uploading this. used to listen to this song endlessly during long evenings when I lived in Amsterdam .. :) It's pretty interesting to compare this version to the one 20 yrs later, from performing on a small wooden stage to being a massive arena band.

my fave version of my fave song!!!

Lindsey rules! He's da man

standoffsighs ~ Glad that you love this one as much as I do. Thanks a bunch for your comment!! (:

Awesome, thanks so much for posting this! I somehow hadn't seen this performance yet...

Lindsey is eternal

I been alone All the years So many ways to count the tears I never change I never will I'm so afraid the way I feel Days when the rain and the sun are gone Black as night Agony's torn at my heart too long So afraid Slip and I fall and I die I been alone Always down No one cared to stay around I never change I never will I'm so afraid the way I feel Days when the rain and the sun are gone Black as night Agony's torn at my heart too long So afraid Slip and I fall and I die How I feel Days when the rain and the sun are gone Black as night Agony's torn at my heart too long So afraid Slip and I fall and I die

That's live? now thats a performance! I never heard this song

Very good video for the day. Great rush on my pc. Stevie, ah yes, still the angle of my dreams!

Unbelievable guitarist top 2 solo ever with comfortably numb

rinkudinku ~ You're VERY welcome. Thanks a bunch for viewing my video and for commenting!! (:

amazing

Thanks a bunch!! (:

You give credit where credit due. Song writing is a lost art. They got in and got out and left a message in 5:51 seconds. Great video Post!

I agree Stevie Buckingham the 1982 performance from the mirage tour is awesome! This earlier version is a little more visceral, hard to choose what is best i love em both

Fantasztikus

Me too. Thanks for your great comment!! (:

musicforthesoul08 ~ You're VERY welcome. Thanks for your great comment! (:

pattonftw ~ I agree. (They are the greatest band live, in my book.) (:

Are there any other songs from this performance online?

There was no anger between Lindsay and Stevie they both felt so much mutual emotion at that time but they were torn apart by a tragedy not of their own making

Imagine how this would sound today in HD, ermahgerd lol

geil

Anybody knows what's said lindsey's before the song. It's something joke?

Hmm no problema so, man, thank you very, very much! ahh... Do you have others footage from outdoor show? I saw Rhiannon (cut) from Fleetwood Mac Documentary called ''VH1 Behind The Music''.. I have the URL Copy and cut after ''.com'' this: /watch?v=lhzn6tLO_WA and look the performance at 6:55. It's AWESOME

Anybody knows what's said lindsey's before the song. It's something joke? Put here the text, I'm from Brazil, but put in english de text with lindseys speaking

@gunsandbullhorns Oh man , i'm sorry for ''like'', it's just a preposition, not very importante right? I hasn't realize the context, sorry

Before Flea, Smith and Frusciante there was McVie, Fleetwood and Buckingham

OMG, my ''english'' isn't very good. I heard something like: ''it's wierd like... I heard ''like'', and in the final I heard ''Wer'e still this going on'' ''this going on'' it's wrong. I think the English language is most easy wich portuguese. ''wich'' or ''that''?? heheheeh ohh men Thank you. I love that lindsey's said but I don't understand nothing

is it just me or Lindsey plays the strings quite weird.. a bit like me lol.. love this track tho!

Lindsay was afraid of his future something we all have to think about he did something that was unspeakably cruel involving Stevie but at that time they were close together and she didn’t understand his fear and neither did he, but he had a premonition that he would ruin their relationship completely and make her break her heart and turn the band members away from him for the rest of time left to him as their lead guitar player he was under the spell of Asmodeus the witch the Devil 😈 Worshipping wannabe she made him take all the money and forced Stevie to do some thing she did not believe in and which has haunted both of them ever since it happened Lindsay Buckingham dies a man immersed in emotional pain and suffering still in love with Stevie as ever despite their own sorrows he was ready to go to meet his Maker

I love lindsey, he is rarely acknowledged for his talents. i like the nicks also but (she) on my take on things a not nice person. She can sing but Lindsey will and has been always be far more talented than nicks! sorry to upset anyone, i have followed them since i was 8 i'm now 37, so i think im am entitled to an opinion.
