You are aware that there was a female with Lindsey doing all the heavy breathing on "Big Love", right?

I've always read it was Lindsey's voice sped up:
'Though many assumed the female "ahh" to be Stevie Nicks, it was actually Lindsey Buckingham performing both, created by way of his voice being sampled and altered in the studio to mimic that of a woman. The sound was ubiquitous, eventually making the rounds on 1987 episodes of Late Night with David Letterman where David told viewers they were hearing the sounds of CPR.'
I could swear I read an interview somewhere with Buckingham that stated it was a girlfriend, not NIcks, but I can't remember when, who or where it was. Oh well- guess I should verify my facts before I go playing Mr. Know-it-All!

Unless we find out from Buckingham directly, we'll probably never know, but the general consensus seems to be that he's the one behind the female grunts. Did I learn this originally from John Hughes's Lost in the '80s (http://lostinthe80s.blogspot.com/2006/11/when-n... Maybe so.

Lindsey Buckingham was my first rock star crush. I think I was 4 or 5 when I first saw the video for "Trouble" on MTV. At the time, I didn't realize he was in Fleetwood Mac, but started listening to their music because of my dad's love for Stevie Nicks. I remember seeing his picture on the "Rumours" cover thinking he didn't look like the guy I'd seen on TV. When "Tango in the Night" came out, I would listen over and over while staring at the album jacket.
Did I just over share?
Anyway, I love this show so much. I'm so glad he finally decided to tour again. Meeting him was one of the highlights of my life, I must admit.

You have chosen wisely - this made me insanely happy before I even clicked to see the playlist!

I'll add my own two cents-in the studio Lindsay is serious master of pitch manipulation-espcially old school where it's done by altering the speed of tape. His work woth Fleetwood Mac, and espcially his solo stuff, is filled examples of sped up guitar solos, altered percussion etc. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's just him doing both parts.

I've always loved the weird yelps he puts into songs like "Trouble" and "Bwana." Since he's a studio rat, I can definitely see him having fun with pitch manipulation.
