Stevie Nicks is one of the most creative rock vocalists ever.... the way she plays with her voice, the combination of roughness and sweetness, the gravelly warble, the wailing and convulsing.... it's so captivating to me
I TOTALLY agree Samuel! Something about her voice just makes me so emotional, it almost hurts. I just love her voice! It's beautiful and mesmerizing, even in this performance which wasn't her best due to the several technical issues and probably due to her having been crying over her best friend, Sara's death from cancer in the previous days. I love you Stevie.
Yeah, there was something wrong with her singing on that 1982 tour. Ive been doing the deep dive, something was wrong with her at that point,too much vibrato and not enough effort in the melody. But she was still fantastic, all the same. Lindsey on the other hand was off the charts on that tour. But you can see the drugs finally taking effect on all of them
The cocaine was involved at that point which also took a toll on her weight and aging. But yes the sound isn’t mixed great either. But you’re right. You got people nowadays that’ll get on stage sober as hell and sound shit.
This song has so many different lyrics. They're very different from the demo version. And her own solo renditions have many variation. She even has new/different lyrics to this day.
If only to go back...my hubby and I were 28 then...married 8 years, happy...lost him suddenly after almost 46 years of marriage this past Sept. 2nd. Loved that man with all my heart and soul...he was my soulmate. He brought so much love, joy, and music into my life...FWM being one of our favorites.
Got to say this again my friend, u make me smile when u look at your fingers and twirl your drum stick cause of lyrics to tha5 song when I'm down I just put u on and I find myself smiling again! God bless
I love the obvious deep friendship between Stevie and Christine. She knows she's bombing this performance and looks to her friend to get through it. Adorable :)
@@aprildannette3816 If you can't see and hear it I don't know what to tell you. For one thing..her monitor isn't working properly causing her to be off key. And she's getting flustered because her sound crew just absolutely sucks. They don't have the voice effects set right ect. her voice isn't up to par. Feedback. It's one of the worst I've seen from her. It's not all her fault but some of it is. Her voice is rough as a cob.
@@aprildannette3816 Another thing..Stevie never could hide her emotions on stage..she is apologetic at times during this..you can see it through her expressions..but towards the end she is pissed. That feedback thing pissed her off and I promise you some people got a cussing over that.
She celebrated her 75th birthday this year. Everyone, if you have kind of always wanted to see Fleetwood Mac, I promise it will be one of the best concerts you will experience
I was there at the “Dust” Festival…..started with The Dead ended with Fleetwood Mac. Hot as hell and what no concert has ever compared to EVER!!!! Thank you for the wonderful memory.
I see elements of Stevie in performers like Maggie Rogers, Florence Welch, the Haim sisters, Paris Paloma (who will be opening for her in the UK), and even Taylor Swift (at select times, and Stevie by her own admission feels a connection with her). The new artist Chappell Roan also sometimes reminds me of her vocal technique (very very different musical style though...and I'd say she sounds more like Kate Bush & Pat Benatar, if we're being more specific). But no one has matched Stevie's presence and abilities. She is a legend for a reason.
This was a month to the day before Robin died. Stevie was going through stuff, and stuff was about to get worse. Not the greatest time for her, she had a number 1 solo album, and she couldn’t have been in a worse place personally. Braveheart.
Robin was & always be Stevie’s Best Friend. She was so torn up over Robin’s passing that she married Robin’s Husband. 8 months later they both realized that they had reacted out of Grief and had the marriage annulled. I’m not sure but I do believe that Robin left Her Daughter to Stevie Nicks should her Husband need help with that.
Look at 1976 live.... its the best... unbelievable. My idol, my white witch, my angel... thank you dad for the endless vhs 📼 I had endure from my birth in 1980. It shaped my life. Floyd, Stones, Hendrix, The Who , Robyn Trower, to Amy Winehouse... you were the legend. And now my kids watch them all....
I love Stevie in 80s - fact I love Stevie every year- but Stevie preforming Rhiannon from 1975-1978 was magic and just amazing. It still is but during that time period it was something else.
I love a lot about Stevie but Christine Perfect was exactly that.. Perfect.. such a lady and her performances were amazing and consistently brilliant.. you can tell when Lindsay has been on a bender or Stevie is fighting with the flavor of the week but Christine is rock solid each time and she had a tumultuous relationship with the bass player too
I've previously posted some critical posts about this performance previously, but I will give Stevie the benefit of a doubt. I seem to recall that this festival performance was thrown in at the last minute into FM's Mirage tour schedule, and the stage sound setup was not unlike Live Aid, where 6 bands that night were being swapped out one after the other, and anything could and would go wrong. At the beginning you can tell Stevie is wildly gesturing to the sound person offstage to turn up the volume on her monitor -- she probably couldn't hear herself. Later you see her pulling something from her ear. It may have either been an ear plug -- or it may have been an in-ear monitor, because Todd Rundgren had started using them the same year, in 1982. However, back then they would have provided both stage monitors AND in ear monitors in case the musicians didn't like them. Looks like maybe Stevie didn't! So it's possible it caused issues for Stevie in terms of both timing and pitch. However, the rest of the band was clearly unfazed -- they're all playing in top form. They're all singing really well together on the choruses. Lindsey, especially, is really mixing it up and doing some amazing and playful stuff on his guitar solos. Unfortunately, Stevie apparently was trying to improvise at the end also, which was probably a bad idea when you can't hear yourself well. And then suddenly you can hear audio feedback squealing, which is probably precisely when they got Stevie's stage monitors working, and they forgot they had the volume cranked up, causing Stevie to briefly go into Exorcist eye-roll mode. At that point Stevie's voice was blown from trying to project when she couldn't hear herself. Finally, about Stevie looking pale -- during the Mirage tour, for whatever reason, she chose to start wearing makeup to make herself look whiter. A departure from her previous California Tan look. She carried that look forward to extremes up to the Dance album from that point on. I think she was getting dark circles under her eyes from overdoing.... STUFF.
Also, people stop always assuming it was coke that was affecting her performance! Her best friend was dying of cancer right during this time and my understanding from watching interviews is that it was devastating to her and she had been crying the night of this concert. I think her best friend, Sara, died like 1 or 2 days before this concert. Only a professional would have carried on like a soldier as she did for her fans and her band. My heart aches for Stevie here.
There was no Sara. That was her and Don Henley's aborted baby. Her best friend Robin died and a few months later she married Robin's husband Kim. She wanted that baby she said. Yet, she admitted to 4 abortions . She could have afforded Nannies, but rhat would have changed her inage.
oh for goodness sake she was off her trolley she admitted herself. She was shit-faced. She couldnt even sing in the right chord, Im surprised she could still stand up, By gosh she still looks bloody hot though!!!!
@@rhainaweissehexe3899 did it ever occur to you at that time she didn't want to have babies? Besides the way she was partying the kids would come out all messed up. She did the right thing.
During this period of Fleetwood Mac Stevie Nicks could be quite unpredictable in a way that Jim Morrison could be during some of his iconic performances with The Doors. Changing up lyrics and hoping NOT to fall off the stage!
I completely agree with you. Stevie wasn't the Stevie from the 70's and was somewhat vocally-challenged at times, but Mick was incredible. It could also be said that it was somewhat about Lindsey who just hammered it.
I was so much in love with Stevie back then...I still think she's so very...very beautiful. Only quite some time ago I realized that I don't really know her, just her wonderful performances...voice and stunning beauty. I sometimes get sad because I was there at US FESTIVAL 1982 then again in1983 to see her as a solo performer. It seems like not so long ago...Now when I look into a mirror I see an old man looking back at me and she is still as beautiful as ever.
I’m pretty sure what’s happening throughout the whole performer is she had no audio in her ear. She probably heard nothing but performed without missing a beat! ❤️
I tend to agree with all the comments regarding the sound quality and the performance. Listening to this 36 years after the fact on sound equipment that much more advanced tends to highlight the negative however. I'll guarantee you that if you were to ask anyone who attended this concert they would tell you that Fleetwood Mac was awesome and sounded great! The news media gave them glowing reviews. Of course by the time Fleetwood Mac came on stage they were not the only ones fucked up...the audience was right there with them.
I was at the US festivals. I was right by the stage and during intervals of the songs Stevie would walk off stage and a guy would hand her a glass of wine and a mirror with coke on it. She'd snort and drink from the glass of wine and go back out onstage. She was using substances as I was there and witnessed it.
Love Stevie here. Total billy goat soup. Remember the story of Rhiannon is a tragedy. She sings that tragedy in a tragic way. Love u Stevie! Billy goat witches foreverrr!!!!
Will always love Fleetwood Mac my queen take me with you the great old days walk on forever and ever you beautiful beautiful good witch take me with you
You'd think the band would achieve a template concert version on a tour and play it night following night, stanza for stanza. That's not the case here. I have heard 3 different versions of this song from the 1982 tour, Memphis being my favourite. And every one of them is different. What that tells me is the musicians are keyed into each other in a way that the audience can never suspect. Yeah, Stephanie's voice is scratchy. But remember this is outdoors at night. The worst possible conditions for a vocalist.
@wesgilmer5391 I think that’s a very cynical statement some songs ache to be written and Stevie has listen to the voice within and composed the songs she needed to write not for fame and fortune
Just read in the Bio on her, called Gold Dust Woman, that at this time, in the summer of '82, she had been diagnosed with what the author mentions was 'bronchial spasmodic asthma'. Her sining voice was frayed. The fact that she was able to sing at all was a miracle.
When I was at that show, does anyone remember standing behind the second to left sound tower, the girl giving a full strip show up on the tower? It was really hard to focus on the band.
Who is Rhiannon now, the witch in Question she is obviously someone who is desperate to escape the reality in this enchanting song even nowadays there are witches who dream of becoming powerful and significant
There is a you tube video of her doing this song in a rehearsal from 1978 or 1979. She became Rianon. Try looking it up. She did not do the song justice in this performance .
Curse that damn feedback! The sound guys really dropped the ball that night, for Lindsey & Chris too! Also, when she throws her head back, that's the picture of her from inside Stand Back 1981-2017! Super hot shot of her!
I feel bad for her cause she knows she didn't sing it at her best. She says sorry to the audience at the end by her body language. If you look closely :'(
It looks like Stevie's ear piece was not working which can make it hard to sing because you can't hear yourself over all the noise. To me it looked as if she was struggling emotionally as well with the technical failure and probably was containing her anger and unable to really get into the song as she usually does. I would have been PISSED if I had been her and that happened! These guys are perfectionists and professionals. And for those saying she's "coked up", please don't assume it's drugs. I think this band has earned a bit more respect than that.
Aubrey, ear piece monitors did not exist in 1982! Bands relied on those big clunky floor monitors! You can see Stevie motion with her left hand at the beginning to the sound guys to raise the volume, then she starts pounding her fists to let them know she wants the drums louder. Her emotions were running high! As we all know, Robin had very little time left at this point! And yes, she is under the influence of cocaine AND booze! Maybe more booze than anything! You can see it in her eyes and her motions, trust me, I've been there! But, our Stevie was a true pro! That's why we love her!!!
I agree Aubrey 100%. People make such quick judgements. STEVIE NICKS would not have went on stage at all if she was so messed up she couldn't contain herself. If people realized the enormous pressure that artists face and just how grueling a world tour is to their livelihood they would have a different perspective.
First off, I adore Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks, so what I am saying is just the truth - not out to bash her. I was at that show, and I had been to numerous Fleetwood Mac shows before this one. Stevie was not herself that night for whatever reason. She went on a long crying rant about her brother being a witch.
Trust me, she was coked up...as were her sound crew...they all were. The only difference is that Lindsey Buckingham (who was only a self-styled "pot head") was sober enough to step up, with guitar in hand, and attempt to guide her along into the music, at the beginning of the "song."
I was at this show. I had already seen Fleetwood Mac many times before this. Stevie was off this night. I don't know if she was wasted or not, but it seemed so. She went on a crying rant about her brother being a witch.
That was the tech's ass right there.. Talk about sound issues, as it is clear in her actions. Still the true pro that she is and carried it through to the end.
Esa voz tan peculiar, tan ùnica, tan inconfundible de Stevie, esa musica que sonò tanto en mi juventud, y que diferente a la primera etapa de la cual solo se mantiene el bateria.
*Who Misses And Listening This is in Quarantine?* *Stevie Nicks and Christie She's sexy, Talent* *beatiful, great artist's, wonderfull ladys* *In 2020,2022,2024,3000,4099,10000000* *Fleetwood Mac, Fan Forever 👍 🎸 😎 🇬🇧*
That happened right when she got that sharp jolt of feedback hit her ears. She then threw her head back and away I think her eyes rolled up from that sharp sound>
Thats what happens when a person bleats like a goat into a microphone. Seriously though. I realize her vocals are unique and to be appreciated. That was the first thought that crossed my mind though.

@@hfortenberry Her best friend's name was Robin not Sara.
couldn't agree more with you! ...she's a gift from heaven!
Even at a low she still sounds fantastic. Her "worst" is still better than most, poor sound production really does a toll on the artist.
Yeah, there was something wrong with her singing on that 1982 tour. Ive been doing the deep dive, something was wrong with her at that point,too much vibrato and not enough effort in the melody. But she was still fantastic, all the same. Lindsey on the other hand was off the charts on that tour. But you can see the drugs finally taking effect on all of them
Even if she didn't have the vocal strength, she still has the emotional power! Got to love that!

gotta love Nicks for writing her lyrics...and then never holding to them at any live performance...
Robert Rijkers It's her poetry after all, she can say whatever the hell she wants! :)
She changes them to this day!
Erica
I love it. Every performance is unique. Every time she plays this song again. It's like she adds a new chapter of the story.
They all sound a bit RAMPED up if you get my drift. They sound rather bored. But thats the life of a true rock and roll band.
This song has so many different lyrics. They're very different from the demo version. And her own solo renditions have many variation. She even has new/different lyrics to this day.

Hélas, en 2023, FLEETWOOD MAC sans Christie MC Vie et sans Lindsay Buckingham..c'est beaucoup moins " magique "😭😭😭
I was there at the “Dust” Festival…..started with The Dead ended with Fleetwood Mac. Hot as hell and what no concert has ever compared to EVER!!!! Thank you for the wonderful memory.
2018, and another Stevie has never appeared, so unique , unreal stage presence, real vocals, awesome songwriter, legend.
Good way of putting this performance. So unique even the Band is playing differently. I really like this.
I see elements of Stevie in performers like Maggie Rogers, Florence Welch, the Haim sisters, Paris Paloma (who will be opening for her in the UK), and even Taylor Swift (at select times, and Stevie by her own admission feels a connection with her). The new artist Chappell Roan also sometimes reminds me of her vocal technique (very very different musical style though...and I'd say she sounds more like Kate Bush & Pat Benatar, if we're being more specific). But no one has matched Stevie's presence and abilities. She is a legend for a reason.

Stevie is truly a great part of what I love about Fleetwood Mac. Great stuff. They have a lot of music that I just love.
She's an ICON.❤
jesus she looks and high like no other but still showed up gotta respect that
This was a month to the day before Robin died. Stevie was going through stuff, and stuff was about to get worse. Not the greatest time for her, she had a number 1 solo album, and she couldn’t have been in a worse place personally. Braveheart.
You can really tell, she is not okay.
Robin was & always be Stevie’s Best Friend. She was so torn up over Robin’s passing that she married Robin’s Husband. 8 months later they both realized that they had reacted out of Grief and had the marriage annulled. I’m not sure but I do believe that Robin left Her Daughter to Stevie Nicks should her Husband need help with that.
No female like her she is the great one.
They were having the time of their life then, you gotta love it.
Yeah especially mick Fleetwood wonder how many lines he did before going on stage 🤔
My favorite way Stevie sings Rhiannon, all the same ,all the same Rhiannon🎶 SHE IS THE BEST!!!!❤
I get tickled at the end of this.. she looks like she says "Thank you and please excuse me while I go murder the sound crew"
I CAN'T BELIEVE this is 40 yrs old. Everyone was so beautiful,the world was much happier and life was easier....
My right ear enjoyed it very much.
Loved her voice during the early 80’s!!! Love her always!!!💖 This was a great concert!!
Stevie , always mysterious and so captivating.
She was extremely influential for clothing style also. So many tried to imitate that look.
All time favorite.❤
Mick Fleetwood looks like he is truly enjoying his life here.

Something was off about this performance. This was not Stevie's best. Love her outfit though.
Erm let me think........too much alcohol and cocaine I should say
@@debbie1060 yes, just a wee bit perhaps 🤑
Just read in the Bio on her, called Gold Dust Woman, that at this time, in the summer of '82, she had been diagnosed with what the author mentions was 'bronchial spasmodic asthma'. Her sining voice was frayed. The fact that she was able to sing at all was a miracle.
the sound crew was totally messing things up!
I agree.
I was there all day. So burnt. It was great!
She has a very pretty nose !
Damn lindsey is so underrated...
This was a swesum tour saw em in Florida the show was bomb! 100000 fans jammed the packed stadium.
My right ear loved this
I loved her costume changes in-between songs that each one connected to.
When I was at that show, does anyone remember standing behind the second to left sound tower, the girl giving a full strip show up on the tower? It was really hard to focus on the band.
lmao
Who is Rhiannon now, the witch in Question she is obviously someone who is desperate to escape the reality in this enchanting song even nowadays there are witches who dream of becoming powerful and significant
There is a you tube video of her doing this song in a rehearsal from 1978 or 1979. She became Rianon. Try looking it up. She did not do the song justice in this performance .
At around 5:38 it sounds like a mic got too close to something and that's when she throws her head back.
Curse that damn feedback! The sound guys really dropped the ball that night, for Lindsey & Chris too! Also, when she throws her head back, that's the picture of her from inside Stand Back 1981-2017! Super hot shot of her!
I feel bad for her cause she knows she didn't sing it at her best. She says sorry to the audience at the end by her body language. If you look closely :'(
Woow, ihr seid grossartig.
Yes ❤

Damn I adore Stevie Nicks voice,I crave it!.
Gotta pick one for me to sing kereoke
Carrie Fisher was in Fleetwood Mac?
WTF are you talking about ??
@@audaciousred you should be seen and not heard.
Stevie does share some resemblance to Carrie Fisher, ive always thought about that, glad to hear someone sees it too :)
Stevie was hotter than Carrie.
FLEETWOOD MAC IS THE GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER!!!! 🤩😍😃🤣
It looks like Stevie's ear piece was not working which can make it hard to sing because you can't hear yourself over all the noise. To me it looked as if she was struggling emotionally as well with the technical failure and probably was containing her anger and unable to really get into the song as she usually does. I would have been PISSED if I had been her and that happened! These guys are perfectionists and professionals. And for those saying she's "coked up", please don't assume it's drugs. I think this band has earned a bit more respect than that.
Aubrey, ear piece monitors did not exist in 1982! Bands relied on those big clunky floor monitors! You can see Stevie motion with her left hand at the beginning to the sound guys to raise the volume, then she starts pounding her fists to let them know she wants the drums louder. Her emotions were running high! As we all know, Robin had very little time left at this point! And yes, she is under the influence of cocaine AND booze! Maybe more booze than anything! You can see it in her eyes and her motions, trust me, I've been there! But, our Stevie was a true pro! That's why we love her!!!
I agree Aubrey 100%. People make such quick judgements. STEVIE NICKS would not have went on stage at all if she was so messed up she couldn't contain herself. If people realized the enormous pressure that artists face and just how grueling a world tour is to their livelihood they would have a different perspective.
She's on drugs.
First off, I adore Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks, so what I am saying is just the truth - not out to bash her. I was at that show, and I had been to numerous Fleetwood Mac shows before this one. Stevie was not herself that night for whatever reason. She went on a long crying rant about her brother being a witch.
Trust me, she was coked up...as were her sound crew...they all were. The only difference is that Lindsey Buckingham (who was only a self-styled "pot head") was sober enough to step up, with guitar in hand, and attempt to guide her along into the music, at the beginning of the "song."
Shes beautiful
Man, Stevie's voice was a wreck at this show. Sounds like she had a cold.
The intro is off the chart!
She was sooo HIGH during this time in her life
I was at this show. I had already seen Fleetwood Mac many times before this. Stevie was off this night. I don't know if she was wasted or not, but it seemed so. She went on a crying rant about her brother being a witch.
That was the tech's ass right there..
Talk about sound issues, as it is clear in her actions.
Still the true pro that she is and carried it through to the end.
My right ear loved this 😂😂
Ela removeu o retorno pq não estava funcionando kkkk
Amo eles, que músicas, que história ❤💔
Exelente guitarrista
Esa voz tan peculiar, tan ùnica, tan inconfundible de Stevie, esa musica que sonò tanto en mi juventud, y que diferente a la primera etapa de la cual solo se mantiene el bateria.
I think the sound engineer/crew were even more stoned than Stevie...
I think everyone in that arena were stoned or coked. LOL
So I’m sure the concert was a success. I love Stevie’s voice. Everyone has a bad night.
Not being able hit the high notes really changes this song.
This is off the fuckin chain. Stevie's losing it. I love it.
Stevie Nicks dresses in her white lace and chiffon, and her singing is just as beautiful. Great version of this song, a good thing to find today!
You are amazing miss Stevie. Always honest in such a dishonest world.

Um, did you see her throw her head back and eyes rolled back into her head?!🔥🔥😱🔥🔥
If you'd ever..just once experienced that feedback from that close..yours would too. It is actually physically mind bending pain.
That happened right when she got that sharp jolt of feedback hit her ears. She then threw her head back and away I think her eyes rolled up from that sharp sound>
Who cares nobody has done any better drugs or not who gives a damn
Shes Mk ultra!!! Possessed by the devil!!
Thats what happens when a person bleats like a goat into a microphone. Seriously though. I realize her vocals are unique and to be appreciated. That was the first thought that crossed my mind though.
Still listening in 2021!
You know its Fleetwood Mac as soon as the music starts.
oh my god stevie. Cant wait till after the show. All the same
damn! i first thought fleetwood mac did a song with rihanna... need to check my eyesight
