This song isn't generally thought of as one of Fleetwood Mac's hits, but it may very well be their best song in live performances. The pronounced base (guitar and drums), Lindsey's guitar solo, and Stevie's voice are incredible.
Definitely another side to the Mac. Seen them live 3 times... anytime they finished with this... it really brought the crowd to their feet. It has everyone doing what they do best. McVie doing that tight bass... Mick tearing the hell out of those drums and the Buck with that solo! And if you have ever seen the other versions of this on the Tube... Stevie only gets better.
Mark Brown I love both versions, but this one is just a smidgen better for me. Just raw and the crowd was going nuts! I saw this tour and Tusk is my favorite FM album but the Mirage tour was a bit better. They seemed a bit weary and unhappy on the Tusk tour.
utbabee they were clearly smashed on the mirage tour and Stevie actually was too over the top in the mirage tour and talk about tired... Did u see the gypsy performance In the mirage tour? She had so many bags under her eyes it was like she was packing for a week long vacation
If you only had one song to characterize Fleetwood Mac, this would be it. It captures the band's tightness (John/Mick backbeat), Stevie's darkness element and showmanship, Lindsay's overlays, Chris' keyboard skills and backup vocal prowess and the best of classic rock and a prelude to heavy metal. In addition to Stevie's Janice influence - it gets no better.
My favorite Stevie song,ever, because I too, am a Sister of the Moon. I first saw this whole documentary 42 years ago on a show called Night flight and I wish it would be released on DVD. It was amazing.
Thanks for uploading this! I saw Fleetwood Mac on this tour in June 1980 at Wembley, right at the front. They were simply amazing. This was the first encore, before "Songbird" and after the set had finished with "Go your own Way". Stevie must rate as one of the greatest female rock singers - alongside Ann Wilson (Heart, Kate Bush and Pat Benatar.
Much of the audience "reaction" was added in the studio. If you listen to all these videos from this disk, it becomes obvious, with each song's over the top audience reaction and participation. One you realize that, it becomes very distracting.
I don't mean to put down music of today's generation, But it's sad that this epic video will be unseen by millions of kids, and they will go on living , never knowing what a real live rock band sounds like.
To have been able to see them live 1975-1980. Being in the 2nd grade in 1975 was a little too young I think and concerts were a lot more druggy back then. Love this song and most Mac except for some of Lindsey's self indulgent tracks on Tusk.
Graduated in 1978, right in the Rumours Mania, saw them that summer and they played this song off of their 'upcoming album', it rocked! They rocked the Cotton Bowl and yes, it was druggy and wonderful!
Was 16 when Rumours came out, that summer, I started driving, listened all day. Saw them at the end of the tour in summer of 78, they had been on tour for more than a year, this was there 'New Song'...That time will never be matched, we partied for you!
This song is one of their best . either the album cover or any other live version is not even close to this one . Mick is propper buzzing the mouth gerning says it all . Stevie's eyes say im on it . These guys pioneer'd getting smashed . No groups of today come close to this . Just wish i could have been around back then .
Thank you! Glad to see someone else noticed. This entire laserdisk concert has way overdone overdubbed audience reaction. On some of the songs its as if the Beatles reunited and joined them during the song. Even the shadows of the audience standing were added. And in this song, I am quite sure the bass was overdubbed as well. Obviously most viewers can't tell. To me, it is a distraction.
It reminds me of the so-called British Invasion in the early and mid 60s, especially Beatles' performances on the Ed Sullivan Show, when it seemed like everyone in the audience was screaming. And, considering what's lost in the noise, it is a shame .
Lindsey Buckingham I saw you in a Louisianna...zz topp was there. My youngest daughters name is Sarah. But I would sing Sarah and Kandra you are the poets in my heart! I am in love with Steve Tyler. I don't know what happened to the Tom Petty's. I can not comment. Way too painful.. But Steve got my daughter Sugar plum fairy off the streets where a BSD boy left her all alone. I live him.... And if he ever asked me to marry him I would say Y E S! God Bless the Angels! PMala Harty
China Bike smashed eh. But your so right as this version of Sisters. Angel is great 79. By far the best Sisters. Many of the Tusk songs were better live. Just as that get goin in the studio they fade em out. Brown Eyes sha la la la. Some of Lindsay's too long. Lyndsey always paid homage to past Fleetwood Mac songs. Oh well 150mph. Green Manalishi even Hypnotized. With Buckingham/Nicks one of the underrated great bands live. The videos from Rumours were just Live versions of the song. Fleetwood Mac live 2cd set from 1980 its all there. I wish theyd release a live comp. It would be killer. The change for You make loving fun on stage excellent. World Turning with African drums. I'm so afraid. JUst killer live songs. addendum: Stevie Nicks songs are about being in love; yet the characters end up alone. SAD
But Stevie's songs are NOT only about being in love! Actually most of her lyrics run different stuff just like Sister of The Moon that is about how Stevie felt she was sick and totally weak. But this also is a kind of ode to her friends (Robin, Christine, Sara Recor, Sharon) that formed a kind of sisterhood.
Tempo is a little faster than the album version, but they were doing an encore at a huge arena. Gotta match the energy of the audience. Not disco, but the drum beat is a little similar to "Dreams" here.

1979. My mom and dad were at this concert. Either night 1 or 2
2021. Their 41 yr old son is still jamming to this song

This is by far my favorite performance of fleetwood Mac ever. Blows them all out of the water. Way underrated song and performance.
This version and the one from The Mirage concert are both too much for words!!!
Mark Brown
I love both versions, but this one is just a smidgen better for me. Just raw and the crowd was going nuts! I saw this tour and Tusk is my favorite FM album but the Mirage tour was a bit better. They seemed a bit weary and unhappy on the Tusk tour.

Couldn't agree more. It's my favourite Stevie Nicks song and this is an electrifying performance by the band
why on earth is this song so underrated. and i don't mean that in a hipster way, it's simply one of rock's most epic pieces.
Your lovely voice love it 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Always a favorite song for me and this is a great version...especially to hear John flexing some muscle on the bass!
The Tusk concerts were FM's best. This performance is fucking FEROCIOUS!
It reminds me a younger days❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's some wicked bass.
listen to johns bass, un fucking beliveable performance.best time in mac history
Superstars super performance superband Fleetwood Mac are the music titans
My favorite Stevie song,ever, because I too, am a Sister of the Moon. I first saw this whole documentary 42 years ago on a show called Night flight and I wish it would be released on DVD. It was amazing.
The mirage tour is still my favorite. No matter what Stevie does it is simply amazing.

She has them spellbound, and then at 5:47, she let's them have it.
She definitely bewitched the crowd!
Best video of Stevie’s enchanting and mesmerizing voice and style
i'm watching this at work, crying and have chills - thank for you uploading this!! i love them ever so much.
long live the one n only...🎩👢
One of my favourite Fleetwood Mac songs!!! Love this live version, thanks for uploading.
mick is drumming like a warlock out of an 18th century novel. fuckin' boss!
Great band. Great song. Great audience - they very much appreciated this fantastic concert.

This is crazy😮😮

Rock On ❤
This is so much better than the recorded version.
Wow, Gave me chills, amazing.

Mick was on fire right here.
Poor Christine was completely forgotten in this one, behind her keyboards. But they probably did "Songbird" next :)
I love them both but Christine was first of all the instrumentalist/ musician while Stevie was first of all singer/ songwriter.
If only they would play this on tour now! One of the best 'live' fleetwood mac songs
Everyday I worship at the alter of the Goddess of Rock...the one and only Stevie Nicks...
5:36 to 6:10 is my voice announcement on my 'voice message system' when people call.. :D*
Super ......!!!
This song is one of their best . either the album cover or any other live version is not even close to this one . Mick is propper buzzing the mouth gerning says it all . Stevie's eyes say im on it . These guys pioneer'd getting smashed . No groups of today come close to this . Just wish i could have been around back then .
I could not agree more
I wish somebody would sell me that VHS...
try Amazon or Ebay
It's never been on VHS or DVD, only released on Laserdisc sadly
they are playing it on this tour!
concert footage with some backstage
I think emmyvic22 meant playing it this way? LOL....
I do wish it could be a bit longer and maybe come in the set after Gold Dust Woman!
Zseniális
the band from jump has been like a play not just music. good vibes shaved heads so its performance art music magic
Crowd noise is a little over the top.

@@zigner Agreed.
Too bad for the audience noises they mix in and out, it just detracts from the music unfortunately
It does~
kl1172 Jeezus, does it ever, esp towards the end. A damn shame.
It reminds me of the so-called British Invasion in the early and mid 60s, especially Beatles' performances on the Ed Sullivan Show, when it seemed like everyone in the audience was screaming. And, considering what's lost in the noise, it is a shame .

I never really liked this song to be honest. But they did good in this live version.
wait a minute...was that Fleetwood Mac...or the Beatles?? hahaha
I don't like this version, it sounds too disco.
nah .. this shit ain't disco.. lived thru that era.....
"disco" ..???? LOL whatever
