It’s hard to comprehend in this age of TH-cam and Instagram and Twitter, but back in the day shows like Midnight Special and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert were the only way for us to see our favorite acts perform on stage, unless we were fortunate enough to go to a concert. We’d spend hours looking at album covers or record sleeves, imagining who played what, how they moved, how they interacted. It was absolutely magical to see your favorite band actually performing live. Hard to describe that feeling
Even hard-core clubbers like me would postpone seeing live acts until later in the evening when Midnight Special was over. TV programming started competing with whoever was touring in your town.
The Midnight Special was a great place to get a good listen or just see what the band was like live. One of the oddest things about doing these shows, all the way back to the 50s was how time constraints would some times force a band to shorten a song or speed up the tempo when compared to the album version. No matter what, Fleetwood Mac never disappointed on TV or live when you could afford the tickets...
I'm a Phish person since 1991, and I'd do *terrible* things to have 4k multi-cam vids of them from then now, let alone what I would've done for them at the time.
I went to a lot of concerts. I was making $3.65 an hour. Tickets ranged from $5-30. $50 front row. Every now and then if I had a girlfriend, I would spring for that front row. Or on impulse show up at the gate and get amazing seats for about $10. Beer was thought of as "expensive" at $1each. Because a 6 pack was $2. Or if you're struggling, I remember buying Schlitz or Black Label in the can, $1.85 for 6 pack cans, head down to the river with hackysack and accessories, meeting up with strangers to play hackysack. After a summer, some became friends. These phones aren't more fun. If you're young, reconsider the use of energy and seek outdoors. You're more likely to care about parks by getting out in nature. Without plants and trees, we are all dead. What did you imagine air comes from? What other magical creations clean our air? Better understand Real Estate Developers taking out our air supply and adding hot pavement ain't exactly a mystery. We have plenty of buildings to re-develop, land already damaged to improve. Get on the bicycle. The pedal kind. Electric bicycles with dead batteries no fun to pedal home. Pedal your own. Become a human being!!
Yes sir John,all the Boomers know the feeling! I am just glad that we can revisit all the songs of years gone by,and love seeing new generations reacting and enjoying also!
Good question!! Who’s gonna be on it. I use to stay up to watch The midnight special when I was a kid!! I got to see all the greats, a lot of them in their infantsy❣️It was worth staying up & fighting sleep for!!😜
RHIANNON is the horse goddess amongst other things and its like she herself possessed Stevie during this performance. This is such my jam i named my daughter Rhiannon
Oh, ho! Falling in love with the 1970s Stevie Nicks, huh? She is seriously adorable. And she doesn't even blink. Well, get in line, pal, it starts way back there...
Another must see live is: Silver Springs From their farewell concert. Stevie wrote Silver when Lyndsey left her for the final time, abandoned in Aspen. The footage is like you’ll never witness.
My favorite F Mac song....and that is sayi g SOMETHING!!! Finally got to see them a couple years ago. Unfortunately Lindsey wasn't with them. 😢But Mike Campbell from Tom Petty's band (get into them!!!!) took up slack on guitar and the lead singer from Crowded House did his singing proud.
And that, gentlemen, is why she’s been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame…twice. They did a 4-song set that night on the Midnight Special. Check it out!
This Midnight Special was actually an 18-minute plus performance guys. A treat for all who hasn't watched it yet. Thanks for reacting to this guy's !✌️
The box set of Midnight Special, every Friday night, is worth the splurge. Each CD is best of the year from 73-78 plus bonus CD million dollar sellers. There was also Don Kirshner's Rock Concert to watch on Sat nights. Soul Train with Don Cornelius Sat afternoon and American Band Stand mix of performers with dance.
Mac always rocked harder live than in the studio. The next song to try is Go your own way. Start with the studio version and then the live version from the Mirage tour in 1982. Another great song from that tour where Stevie really goes hard is Sisters of the moon.
Stevie nicks was the "quintessential" rock star. She was so cool and a lot of girls in my school would dress just like her. lol 😏 She had great fashion sense. And she had some incredibly strong vocal skills. I loved to see her perform, they gave some fantastic concerts. Here's another song, if interested "Fleetwood Mac - Landslide (Official Music Video)" this song was written by Stevie Nicks, and it is from their self-titled album "Fleetwood Mac" (1975). It's always fun rocking with you gents.
I grew up with them - and I mean the Rumors album was in heavy rotation in our house and on the radio. In 81 when Stevie went solo I bought her album, I was 11, and played it to death. I was put in vocal lessons - singing from a very young age and my teacher asked me what singers I listened to. I caught hell for Stevie Nicks (more due to a way of singing that could damage the voice than her actual voice) but even I never knew she was like this live. Next level stuff. No doubt I was simply too young to have seen a late night show like this or go to a concert to see a live performance. She and Maria McKee have a lot more in common vocally than I realized. McKee sang with a band called Lone Justice in the late 80s - and I still consider her one of THE great female singers of the 80s.
Stevie Nicks only woman voted into Hall of Fame twice. She never disappoints. When music was just solid straight up. No auto tune, no half naked girls twerking..just good entertainment.
The bass by John McVie and the lead guitar by Lindsey Buckingham is always underrated in these great hits by Fleetwood Mac. The drive and sound help bring the vocals and vibe of the music to the forefront. They're the hot sauce on the chicken. The chicken is really good...but you need that hot sauce to really make it extra tasty. Keep frying that chicken for us guys. Y'all got the best Chicken Shack in town. We love what you serve, so good it would make the Colonel run and hide. keep up the great work.l
This performance captured the "blues " sound that Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie (the key board player) had together. THIS one is on my play list daily. Her voice is still as strong and lovely today . Great reaction , keep rocking :)
Although she was inspired to write the song by a fictional book, Rhiannon is an actual goddess in Welsh mythology. The book she read must've included certain elements of the Rhiannon lore, it shows in the lyrics. Stevie is a goddess herself, end of story. That is a good question to ponder: if we could get the Midnight Special back, who would you put on it? I have a few ideas myself, but given the current state of music, I'm afraid of who would be put on that stage.
Stevie wrote this song. What makes Fleetwood Mac so great is that each member was able to bring their own compositions and then turn it into a group song with Lindsay or Mick adding that pop rock oomph! So many great hits from them but this one is my favorite.
Great reaction, years later Stevie blew her voice out with too much cocaine, cigarettes, and whiskey, and never did sing it like this anymore, but she did have her voice box fixed and retained her voice which became more raspier.
How cool! I made a comment for y'all's reaction to the studio version of this song that there were several live versions out there where Stevie just sort of goes into a chanting sort of trance and belts out the outro in such a powerful way, and THIS was def one of those, so glad you guys witnessed it!
Great reaction guys! Please do the live version of "Silver Springs" from the Dance. I am telling you guys its the most enthralling performance you will see. Its based on Stevies and Lyndsay's breakup. You feel the passion and tension in that performance. Especially when she stares him down. Its epic! You wont be disappointed!
The term is "road hot" Fleetwood Mac had been performing this number to sold-out stadiums for over a year before they did this live on a sound stage with a controlled audience (still you can hear a lot of crew noise in the wash)
Other live videos of theirs have more camera coverage of the fabulous rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass! To watch how they lock in with each other on these relentless grooves is really something to see! THIS camera man couldn't bear to move off of the super close up on Nicks' face! LOL!
"MTV killed Rock and Roll" is a common sentiment. When music videos came out, shows like The Midnight Special, Soul Train, and Bandstand faded away. Live performances gave way to flashy videos and back up dancers.
I went to see FM in Memphis in 1977 shortly after Rumours was released. I was an Airman going through E-school at the Naval Air Station. Needless to say it was a great experience.
Back in the day we got our live entertainment from American Bandstand and Midnight Special. These performances were big events since we didn't have the internet. I also remember sitting in front of the TV waiting for premiers of videos from MTV. I miss the anticipation & excitement of it all.
I went to a taping of the Midnight Special. Large set with stages at both ends. They probably did this song two or three times and aired the best take. Stevie was a babe. And what a voice. That hair is a trip tho.
Fleetwood Mac is worth a deep dive; Stevie’s performance of “Silver Springs” on their live album “The Dance” is amazing; it’s in video. Makes me cry and I still love it❤
I can still remember being 15, and the night I rode my bike home from my girlfriend’s house, and settling in with some cold pizza and a coke to watch Midnight Special and seeing this performance. My first time seeing Fleetwood Mac perform live. …and I was in.
Such an iconic performance by Fleetwood Mac🎶 they are all spot on but Stevie's act and voice is something else. Thanks guys for reacting to this great song. You are right - who would perform on this show today and even come close to the acts back in the day??
I'm listening to music over 60 yrs this is one of the greatest performances ever. Phenomenal! Stevie was inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of Fame twice once w Mac other by herself. Kudos to the band great job Lindsey Buckingham is a great singer and magnificent guitarist. Great point if the Midnight Special returned who would b on it. 🤔
The best video I have seen of Fleetwood Mac's Nick's/Buckingham years is the live version of I'm so Afraid live from the 1997 The Dance concert Buckingham's solo was epic. Other than that performance with big kudos to Lindsey for laying down some wicked licks my favorite years of Mac are the Peter Green/ Danny Kirwin and later the Bob Welch years.
For another jaw dropping masterpiece performance from the Midnight Special, hit "Do You Feel Like We Do" from Peter Frampton. His guitar playing is on another level, and he had great stage presence, and this is his greatest filmed performance I've ever seen.
Great question about Midnight Special guys! I love Steve Miller Band's live version of Fly Like An Eagle along with this (and Steely Dan of course). In the UK we had great live performances on OGWT (Bob Marley) and now Later...with Jools Holland (Radiohead, Oasis)
I was 13 years old in 1973 when the midnight special first came on. It was on Saturday nights and it became regular viewing for me and my friends. Once I got older and started going out on Saturday nights to parties at friends houses when the midnight special came on the stereo was turned off and the TV was turned up loud. Great freaking show, it was really the first time many of us got to see our favorite bands perform their songs in person.
Saw them live in '76 in Chicago and they sounded amazing. Stevie wore her all-black witchy outfit ( like this) and whirled and spun on stage...Christie McVie sang "Blackbird" and you could have heard a pin drop because it was so riveting. I am glad to have memories of seeing some of these iconic bands live! But Midnight Special was the next best thing, and we are lucky these performances were captured so we can still enjoy them today. Best of all, we get to watch younger people like yourselves discover the great music of our generation! Hope your content will inspire other young people to explore & discover the best of the 60's, 70's and 80's because they have no idea what they're missing. Thanks, guys!
Check out 'The Old Grey Whistle Test.' This was another jem of a show for live music. This was a BBC music programme. It was recorded in Shepherd's Bush in West London. Peace,Love and Unity 🙏
Great video! The Midnight Special-❤Love her duet with Tom Petty- Stop Draggin My Heart Around [official video HD]👍🏼Check out their contrasting vocals..unforgettable! Great chemistry!!!

This was the moment that the world was introduced to Stevie Nicks and she hasn't disappointed since and the rest is history.
That was hard. "We need The Midnight Special back." "Yeah! Wait, but who would they have on!" Perfect!
RHIANNON is the horse goddess amongst other things and its like she herself possessed Stevie during this performance. This is such my jam i named my daughter Rhiannon
Oh, ho! Falling in love with the 1970s Stevie Nicks, huh? She is seriously adorable. And she doesn't even blink. Well, get in line, pal, it starts way back there...
“We need this back, but…who’s gonna be on it?”
That was priceless. :-)
Christy McVie is other woman...voice of an angel! Everywhere is a great song with her on lead
RIP Christy....x
RIP Christ McVee ...
Don't sleep on Christine McVie, her lead vocals are great too. Songbird is one of the finest ballads ever written.
and Oh, Daddy
Fleetwood Mac was so amazing with the ability to go so many directions - both songwriting and their sound.
"How the hell did the Midnight Special get canceled?"
I had the exact same thought when it got canceled.
Another must see live is: Silver Springs
From their farewell concert. Stevie wrote Silver when Lyndsey left her for the final time, abandoned in Aspen. The footage is like you’ll never witness.
Yes! The Silver Springs version from “The Dance” brings tears to my eyes
Yes!
My favorite F Mac song....and that is sayi g SOMETHING!!! Finally got to see them a couple years ago. Unfortunately Lindsey wasn't with them. 😢But Mike Campbell from Tom Petty's band (get into them!!!!) took up slack on guitar and the lead singer from Crowded House did his singing proud.
@@suesebree8670 David Byrne was the lead singer for Fleetwood Mac? Wow!
@@jacqueline4514 i'm. Sorry. Neil Finn from Crowded House. I fixed that post.
The moment Fleetwood Mac arrived. The rest is history.
The entire self titled 1975 album that this comes from is a masterpiece.
Great performance. It's time to get to some of Christine McVie songs. "Don't Stop", "Songbird," and "Oh Daddy" are great tracks.
I knew you'd love it. That was a special performance by all of them but, my Lord Stevie! What a package ❤ Thanks guys!
Stevie was/is flat out mesmerizing. Love that jazzy keyboard work by the late Christy McVie. Flat out 🔥. I think La’s in love. 😊
Thank you! Y’all got 50 years of greatness to discover. The Mac then, Stevie’s solo career.
“Who’s going to be on it”? Classic😂!
“Who’s gonna be on it”
Lol, Truer words have never been spoken.
And that, gentlemen, is why she’s been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame…twice. They did a 4-song set that night on the Midnight Special. Check it out!
This Midnight Special was actually an 18-minute plus performance guys. A treat for all who hasn't watched it yet. Thanks for reacting to this guy's !✌️
Stevie Nicks solo concert live in Chicago is the best version this and edge of seventeen I've ever heard anyone who's never seen them is missing out
A new Midnight Special would be great but you are so right with the comment “who would be on it?” This was a great video and reaction guys.
Damn!! This performance gives me goosebumps every single time ❤
Saturday night special was like Monday night football back then it was the only time the artist or players had a coast-to-coast audience
The box set of Midnight Special, every Friday night, is worth the splurge. Each CD is best of the year from 73-78 plus bonus CD million dollar sellers. There was also Don Kirshner's Rock Concert to watch on Sat nights. Soul Train with Don Cornelius Sat afternoon and American Band Stand mix of performers with dance.
Midnight Special redux? - "Ya, but whose gonna be on it??? " Precisely gentlemen Well said. LMAO on that one. TRUTH!
Heart on midnight special is also ridiculous 😉👍
"they need to bring back the midnight special" "who's gonna be on it" omg, that was funny!
You must see them do Silver Spring live from the Dance. It's incredible
Ms Stevie Nicks the godmother and queen of rock & roll!! What a voice!!!
Mac always rocked harder live than in the studio. The next song to try is Go your own way. Start with the studio version and then the live version from the Mirage tour in 1982. Another great song from that tour where Stevie really goes hard is Sisters of the moon.

Funny coincidence re:Chicken Shack. Christine McVie's first band before she joined Fleetwood Mac was...CHICKEN SHACK!
@@Rickhorse1 Thank you for pointing that out, so I didn't have to!
wow, lindsey is most definitely not underrated. he gets a ton of cred.
Everyone I knew in the 1970's was in love with Stevie Nicks.
The one and only Stevie. Female rock royalty
This performance captured the "blues " sound that Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie (the key board player) had together. THIS one is on my play list daily. Her voice is still as strong and lovely today . Great reaction , keep rocking :)

@@senseandsensibility3636 exactly, it's actually kind of a frightening thought 😳
The midnight special never disappointed. Great music and incredible live performances.
Stevie wrote this song. What makes Fleetwood Mac so great is that each member was able to bring their own compositions and then turn it into a group song with Lindsay or Mick adding that pop rock oomph! So many great hits from them but this one is my favorite.
They were so freaking cool back in the day. My sister totally went out of her way to adopt this Stevie Nicks look there for a little while as a teen.
Oh my gosh. We need it back, but who’s gonna be on it? Yep.❤️🔥
Ooh look a beautiful woman singing without exposing herself. Turn the click back to when talent was what mattered.
Great reaction, years later Stevie blew her voice out with too much cocaine, cigarettes, and whiskey, and never did sing it like this anymore, but she did have her voice box fixed and retained her voice which became more raspier.
Great reaction, guys! This is my favorite performance by Stevie... she absolutely kills it.
I always marvel at the amazing editing and production on these MS performances. Aerosmiths performance was great as well.
How cool!

As a teenager in the 70’,s, like most of us had a huge crush on Stevie!

To watch how they lock in with each other on these relentless grooves is really something to see! THIS camera man couldn't bear to move off of the super close up on Nicks' face! LOL!
Beyond awesome! What a great time for music!

Every time a I see and hear this it makes the hair stand on the back of my neck. She was just awesome as well as the rest of the band.
Thank for reaction gentlemen! One of my favorite performances to watch, she mesmerizes us all with that one.
They don't make music like they used to. We were so lucky to grow up with such great music.
I'm so glad your guys picked up on this and ran with it, right on.
My favorite song by this group! I still play their CD'S in car. This is classic rock when they came in the late 70's. ❤❤❤❤
Incredible band. I love all his songs...This performanse is crazy-
A bewitching song! Another good haunting theme tune from Fleetwood Mac is Hypnotized!
I went to see FM in Memphis in 1977 shortly after Rumours was released. I was an Airman going through E-school at the Naval Air Station. Needless to say it was a great experience.
Back in the day we got our live entertainment from American Bandstand and Midnight Special. These performances were big events since we didn't have the internet.
I also remember sitting in front of the TV waiting for premiers of videos from MTV. I miss the anticipation & excitement of it all.
Oh goddamn you guys got the right recording and everything. Timeless song, legendary group. Loved this
You are so right about The Midnight Special.
I saw this tour in 1976, in miami...❤❤❤❤
I went to a taping of the Midnight Special. Large set with stages at both ends. They probably did this song two or three times and aired the best take. Stevie was a babe. And what a voice. That hair is a trip tho.
Great reaction guys! Great performance! One of my favorite bands and I love all three periods!
So many good jams! Silver Springs, Landslide and Song Bird makes me cry.
Fleetwood Mac is worth a deep dive; Stevie’s performance of “Silver Springs” on their live album “The Dance” is amazing; it’s in video. Makes me cry and I still love it❤
I can still remember being 15, and the night I rode my bike home from my girlfriend’s house, and settling in with some cold pizza and a coke to watch Midnight Special and seeing this performance. My first time seeing Fleetwood Mac perform live.

Stevie: big screen
Well done!
I'm listening to music over 60 yrs this is one of the greatest performances ever. Phenomenal! Stevie was inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of Fame twice once w Mac other by herself. Kudos to the band great job
Lindsey Buckingham is a great singer and magnificent guitarist. Great point if the Midnight Special returned who would b on it. 🤔

Other than that performance with big kudos to Lindsey for laying down some wicked licks my favorite years of Mac are the Peter Green/ Danny Kirwin and later the Bob Welch years.
Loved your reaction. We used to wait for the Midnight Special every weekend because the performances were wild. Our parents hated it. lol
Midnight Special was on years and it was awesomeness!
I have been waiting for you guys to do this version! My favorite part is the end where she just cuts loose.
Love your live reactions 😮
Oh you don’t know just how deep this rabbit hole is! Enjoy! ☮️ ❤️ 🏴
You guys are wonderful! Thank you for that
For another jaw dropping masterpiece performance from the Midnight Special, hit "Do You Feel Like We Do" from Peter Frampton. His guitar playing is on another level, and he had great stage presence, and this is his greatest filmed performance I've ever seen.
THIS^^^^^^^^^^^

Such great performances on midnight special
Just laughed my ass off at the Midnight Special question, "who's gonna be on it?" LOL!!! Thanks guys, great review on the legendary performance.
Absolutely love them‼️Have seen them live and also Stevie on her own live
Beautiful and passionate thanks for playing this song from my favourite band
Imo Stevie is another great great singer. Her voice is so intriguing. The good old days.
Saw them live in '76 in Chicago and they sounded amazing. Stevie wore her all-black witchy outfit ( like this) and whirled and spun on stage...Christie McVie sang "Blackbird" and you could have heard a pin drop because it was so riveting.

Hope your content will inspire other young people to explore & discover the best of the 60's, 70's and 80's because they have no idea what they're missing. Thanks, guys!
Stevie was my 1st celebrity crush as a kid in the 70’s.
Check out 'The Old Grey Whistle Test.' This was another jem of a show for live music. This was a BBC music programme. It was recorded in Shepherd's Bush in West London.

Great live performance.
