If you are going down the Mac rabbit hole not that the band have three distant phases. Firstly formed in 1967 (!) with Peter Green as main guitarist Fleetwood Mac were mainly a blues band ( don’t let that put you off, some amazing tracks from with a superb guitarist) Second phase was after a Peter left and third phase was when Buckingham (the guitarist you saw) and Nicks (the blond singer) joined. Mick Fleetwood ( drummer) and John MacVie (bass) have been in since the beginning.
@@marcieharreld286 We were even farther, but Stevie is one of my wife's all time favorites and Billy is one of mine. It's the farthest we've ever travelled to see a concert. It was worth it.
People now get so into the rap diss-tracks, but Fleetwood Mac wrote this entire album about dissing each other over intra-band drama and breakups and cheating on each other and have subsequently been playing and singing them together and at each other for over 40 years. Nobody will ever beat their level of petty.
Absolutely! There is NOTHING like watching them sing some of these songs to each other, just insane (and sexy, even though they're old enough to be my parents haha). Go Your Own Way, hell YES.
Yes this was 1977, they were ending their relationship. They made a living out of loving, cheating, breaking up...with each other! Stevie Nick's has a great voice..🎉 I'm 71, (may be a cougar) I'm falling for ya..lol❤
The hot chick became a rock star. I was 13 when Rumours was popular, and Stevie Nick's was a rock star. Along with Lindsay Buckingham, Christine McVie, John Mcvie, and Mick Fleetwood. They became one of the biggest bands in the world that year, three singer song Writers. Great guitar. Great blues keyboard. Great rythem section. Tight as f*ck, no matter the drama. And really good music.
1977, I was 16 and living in Mhlambanyatsi Swaziland (Southern Africa), a village of about 500 people. We teenagers were on summer break and someone brought RUMOURS back from a holiday in the US. There were about 28 teenagers in the village from all over the world (our dads worked at the pulp mill on contract) and we listened to that album from front to back for days! We had to order additional copies from a local store because everyone wanted the record. Every single song is brilliant! Enjoy!
@@clare1061I was 16 too, in Melbourne Australia when this came out, still remember all of the lyrics. Amazing how music can bring nationalities together.

Hearing you say, "Hello Miss, I don't know who you are", about Stevie Nicks made my day! Thanks, man. You should see a pic of her in the 1970s when they started!
Stevie Nicks wrote the lyrics to this song while her and Lindsey Buckingham, the man singing, we're going through something of a difficult breakup. So, much of the emotion and energy between those two as they're singing, is real. I think that's what makes this song so special.
Stevie did not write this song. All five members are credited with writing this song. The song itself was pulled together from bits and pieces of unfinished songs
Taylor Swift wishes she could sing this good...watch Silver Spring same concert...Taylor sings about bad boyfriends...Stevie screams at her bad boyfriend on stage and makes him listen to it
Christine Mc Vie passed away last year. 😢 She was the keyboard player(and she was brilliant at it) She also wrote some of the band's best songs and took the lead vocals on her own songs. It was a sort of unwritten rule with the Mac, that whoever wrote the song, sung the song. The reason nobody took a definitive lead on this is because the writing of the song was a collaborative effort between them all. 😊
Mic Fleetwood left a highly successful band in England and brought his bassist, John McVie, and Johns wife Christine because she was an excellent songwriter. When Mic got to Los Angeles, he advertised for a singer and a lead guitarist, to join his group. Low and behold Lindsey Buckingham and his girlfriend Stevie Nicks had just released their first album, and went to meet Mic Fleetwood for an interview. As they say, the rest is history,
Christine McVie moved back to England and before she died she was a piano teacher. Can you imagine as a child having one of the greatest artists ever being your piano teacher. It would have been like having Mozart as your piano teacher.
I am admittedly old (63) and have been a big fan since the 70's - I used to cover their songs with my band in the late 70's. It is still inconceivable to me that there are people out there who don't know Stevie Nicks, she is the definition of an Icon. I smiled when he loved the harmonies between Christine McVie, Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham - they are magnificent, indeed. The Bassist, John McVie, and Christine were married and Stevie and Lindsey used to be quite the tempestuous couple. The constant strife and tensions between them ended up breaking up the band, as Lindsey and Stevie could hardly be in the same room together. John and Christine got divorced as well. But in the 90's they reunited and started touring and recording again. Stevie's solo career flourished as well, she is such a unique person with a very distinctive voice. Thanks for checking them out, they are one of the best bands. RIP Christine, we lost her not that long ago.
Declan, you'll be surprised at how different the studio album version of this sounds. If you listen to their album Rumours you will be hooked on them for life.
In case no one told you, they are originally from England. They were a blues band back then and all male. They came to the U.S. and the drummer Mick Fleetwood was looking for a new guitar player. He heard the Buckingham Nicks album and wanted to meet the guitar player. That guitar player was Lindsey Buckingham. Mick wanted Lindsey to join the band but Lindsey told him he and his girlfriend Stevie were a package deal. Take both of us or neither of us. Lindsey and Stevie joined the band December 31, 1974. Fleetwood Mac changed their sound from blues to rock. Stevie is singing duet with Lindsey in this song.
Mostly correct, Christine Perfect (later Christine McVie) played keyboard as session musician and then as a full member before the move to USA. Band named after the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. CHECK OUT Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac. Albatross Oh Well Black Magic Woman Green Manalishi
Stevie Nicks is 76 years old and I just saw her live in Chicago in June with Billy Joel (who is 75). They both absolutely KILLED IT. Fantastic live shows, still.
I was supposed to see her in Glasgow at the beginning of July but it was postponed as she had a leg injury and I couldn't get time off work for the new date at the end of July as I live 400 miles away so I had to sell my ticket. Gutted!!!!!!😢
Half UK & US band members! LOVE their music and one of the best bands coming out in the 70's. RIP Christie McV! Such a loss to musical talent! Please need a rabbit hole!
Their personal relationships within the band were brutal! And the pain and anger led to some inspired music! Welcome to the Fleetwood Mac rabbit hole, it's a great place to be!
I can tell you appreciate and enjoy a variety of music. I am 72 years old and just can't get enough of music. I grew up with music all around me. My dad was in a band and played music from the 30s, 40s and pop from the 50s. My mom was a coal miner's daughter and so her family was into the hillbilly and country music. Many of them sung with their guitars and banjos. My older sister rocked to the rock and roll of the 50s. Then as I entered my teen years I rocked with the sounds of the 60s and 70s. I also enjoyed all the music from the 80s to now. Music helps the soul stay healthy and joyful!
Each person on that stage is a true master of their art. They put their heart and soul into the creation of their music and every performance. This is something missing in music today with few exceptions. The 60s and 70s, and into the 80s were amazing for music. The lyrics, the talent, nothing recent has been comparable.
This band had 2 married couples who split up over the years , this song is the pact they made to keep the band going and NOT to break The Chain band wise
Curious who the second married couple was? John & Christine were hitched, but Stevie & Lindsay weren't - just in a relationship, as was Stevie & Mick for a while.
so funny to hear him refer to stevie as cute. SMH I am thinking to myself, dude - she was one of the sexiest women in the entirety of the 70's. kinda had to have been there...
My mom bought this album in 1977 we played endlessly on our old Pioneer turntable. This is one of the signature records of all time. RIP Christine McVie my favourite band member
I've seen her twice and she is as mesmerizing! She tells stories with her voice, I truly love her. I remember her with Don Henley, leather and lace, so beautiful.
Im 54 and this came out when i was 7. My mom loved them, i love them, my children love them, and my grandson also enjoys their music. 4 generations appreciate their musical genius
Stevie Nicks voice style is called .............MAGIC. I was 6 years old when I first heard Stevie Nicks voice, and I was in love instantly. Her voice melts me every time. Lindsay's guitar is a custom guitar made by Rick Turner. Is is a small hollow bodied electric guitar. Much lighter on the shoulders than an 8 lb Les Paul.
Christine McVie (Perfect...her maiden name) is one of my favorite musical artists of ALL TIME. The story of her joining Mac and what she did before this band is just incredible.
I've seen Fleetwood Mac twice in concert. They were both the loudest, and two of the best concerts I've ever seen. ...and I've seen MANY of the best groups out there. Rumours... Can't go wrong with that album. Mick Fleetwood is a jack hammer on the drums. The blonde singer is the amazing Stevie Nicks. She's really something. The other singer and guitar player is Lindsay Buckingham. The blonde backup singer and sometimes lead is Christine McVie.
Unbelievable, how can anyone not know who Stevie Nicks is?? The first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Gorgeous and a truly great singer. Their album Rumours sold over 40 million copies (equal 4th highest selling album of all time), went 21x Platinum in the US. Listen to the 1976 live version of "Rhiannon", or "Silver Springs", or any track from Rumours. I would 100% recommend the live Silver Springs, imo the saddest but most beautiful song of all time, how she gets so much beauty from so much pain is beyond me.
Probably in the same way that I have no clue who some of today's singers are. I envy Molly getting to experience some of the awesome music and artists I grew up with.
Because he's only 24, do the maths my friend, seems like yesterday but this music is old, like me 🤣🤣🤣It's very believable, but he has an open mind and wants to hear this stuff, so be encouraging rather than disparaging hey.
There are TWO other writers and singers in the band. Lindsey he is an amazing writer, singer, guitar player and producer. Christine had the MOST hits in the band and played keyboards and sang. You have to forgive these Stevie worshippers.
Everything about this band is great. The lead singer, Stevie Nicks, was every young man's dream in the 70's. Listen to more Fleetwood Mac, you won't be disappointed.
stevie christine & lindsey were all lead singers ~ there was no one lead singer ~ christine was in the band singing & songwriting & on keyboards from 1970 on ~ before nicks & buckingham joined the group ~ & bob welch was one of my favourite singers until he left the band ~
@@colecolettecole I'm aware of the singing talents of Christine, Rest In Peace, and it was not said to diminish her role in the band, rather it was a way to identify Stevie for MollyBoy. He will discover Christine's voice as he digs further into the catalog.
I saw Fleet Mac in 1976 and 1979 and they were one of the most talented bands ever. They have 3 lead singers and one of the best drum and bass combos in rock. Stevie was the most desirable woman in rock history.
Grew up with them, kinda took them for granted, finally saw them one of the first reunion tours in the 21st century, and was blown away. Dude, Buckingham is a MAJOR guitarist. Zooomed way up my rankings list in my head after that.
Fleetwood Mac is worthy of a rabbit hole journey. They had many hits spanning multiple decades with 3 amazing lead singers. There's a reason Rumours was the #1 selling album for many decades. They're fire 🤘🏼
This was from The Dance Tour 2001/2002. I got to attend their Orlando Florida concert. My fiance bought me tickets for my 30th birthday. Stevie Knicks is the Goddess on the tambourine and put me into puberty at 6 years old on the cover of the Rumors album. I have always loved that woman's incredible voice. RIP Christie McVie on piano. We have lost so many songs now. Such a great loss. Truly loved watching your reaction to my childhood :)! Keep em coming mate!
Mic Fleetwood (Drummer)and the guy in the photo cover, Stevie Nicks lead vocals, Lindsey Buckingham Lead Guitar and vocals John McVee Bass, Christine McVee piano/keyboard and vocals (R.I.P.), this group has a true story behind them. But a very awesome ICON in our Music 🥁🎸♥️
This performance was recorded in 1997 for their live album 'The Dance'... the song was from their 1977 mega-hit album 'Rumours' - 20 million+ copies sold in the US alone and one of the biggest selling records of all time ... The song 'Dreams' on the album became a hit single again recently. Other hits from the album - "Don't stop"... "Go your own way" ... 'Gold dust woman' ... 'You make loving fun'... Fleetwood Mac was originally formed in the late 60's by Mick Fleetwood (drums), John McVie (bass) and Peter Green (vocals & guitar)... but Green left soon after cos of a mental breakdown... The band recorded a number of albums in the early 70's w/ various members... John McVie married the keyboardist/ vocalist Christine McVie and she became a member of Fleetwood Mac. In 1974, Fleetwood Mac fractured and Mick, John and Christine relocated to Los Angeles and looked for new members... They were recommended Lindsey Buckingham (vocals/ guitar), a talented musician who recorded 1 album 'Buckingham Nicks' w/ girlfriend and aspiring singer Stevie Nicks... Buckingham accepted the offer to join Fleetwood Mac if Stevie joined w/ him... and they agreed. Fleetwood Mac released their self-titled album in 1975 and it became a huge hit w/ the single 'Rhiannon' (sung by Stevie Nicks) and 'say you love me' (sung by Christine McVie) ... Fleetwood Mac benefited creatively w/ 3 songwriters and singers - Nicks, Buckingham and Christine McVie. Working on the next album 'Rumours' in 1977... egos, drugs and drama led to John & Christine McVie splitting up... Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham also split up during the recording... Their songs captured their heartbreak and turmoil and became the biggest record of their career and Fleetwood Mac became superstars. Lindsey Buckingham opted to record a double album 'Tusk' in 1979 but it sold considerably less than 'Rumours'... but the drama and conflicts within the former couples continued as they recorded the 'Mirage' album in 1982 w/ the hits 'Hold me' ... 'Gypsy... and sold 2x platinum. By 1987, internal tensions were escalating... Stevie Nicks was now a successful solo singer and was barely in the studio... Buckingham crafted the album 'Tango in the night' and it sold 3x platinum w/ the hits - 'Everywhere' ... 'Big love'... 'Little lies' ... 'Seven wonders'... However, Lindsey Buckingham grew weary of the drama and quit the band before the tour (which upset Stevie Nicks considerably at the time) Fleetwood Mac hired 2 new guitarists to tour... but without Buckingham, their 1990 album 'Behind the mask' only sold gold. Stevie Nicks withdrew from music in the 90's and Fleetwood Mac were over. In 1996, US president Bill Clinton used the Fleetwood Mac song "Don't stop" for his campaign and the band was invited to perform at his 2nd inauguration. In 1997, the classic Fleetwood Mac (Mick/ John/ Christine/ Lindsey/ Stevie) reunited for a massive tour and a show was filmed for the live album 'The Dance', which sold 5x platinum... but a weary Christine McVie quit the band in 1999. They released their final studio album 'Say you will' in 2003... Fleetwood Mac still sold huge numbers on tour and in 2014, Christine McVie reunited to tour w/ the band again. In 2017, Lindsey Buckingham was fired at Stevie Nick's request and 2 new guitarists were added so that Fleetwood Mac could tour extensively between 2018 and 2019... It would be Fleetwood Mac's final tour. In 2022, Christine McVie passed away from cancer, likely ending Fleetwood Mac... Stevie Nicks honored Christine McVie at her solo shows.
Kind of a theme with them... inter band relationships, marriages and breakups... what better revenge than make your ex sing a song with you, that you wrote about them being an ass and ruining things. There are several with this group by this group.
In all of Fleetwood Mac's impressive catalog, this song is unique in that it's the only one that every single member has a writing credit on. Literally a team effort that came together in the most beautiful way.
Fleetwood Mac has been together for essentially their whole lives - and their albums tell the story of their lives and each other. A stellar group, and a unique experience.
This song was that good the instrumental part of the song was used as the Formula 1 theme from between 1978-2015. For more Fleetwood Mac I would definitely recommend "Tusk" , "Dreams" or "Go your own way". I also would recommend The Manic Street Preachers, specifically "Faster", "Motorcycle empitness" or "If You Tolerate This" because of their deep lyrics. Love from a fellow Brummie!
I still can't help but think F1 any time I hear the refrain. Just like Fanfare for the Common Man is the Brisca music to me. Totally seconding the Manics, "If you Tolerate This" is still one of my utter favorites. Love from the Black Country!
@josephbishop3590 You can def feel the tension lol... The best comparison I've heard is that it's like watching your parents fighting in the kitchen. 🤣
Stevie Nicks is a Goddess! Been a fan of Fleetwood Mac since mid 70s! Huge convoluted story to the band’s loves, conflicts, and breakups! Stevie wrote this on the mid 70s, Lindsey Buckingham the incredible guitarist had been her partner for years, before they joined the band. They met in High School, started college together (I was going to San Jose State University at the same time). There were huge hard feelings between them and they had broken up the year before when she wrote it. This was performed 20 years later. I’ve seen Stevie Nicks live twice since 2016! Amazing performer. Stevie is the only woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, one for Fleetwood Mac, once for her solo career! Up until Christie McVie (keyboardist) died, MFM still toured and she also has been touring her solo show since the 80s. I love her original songs the best!
Brother, you seem to have discovered classic rock! Lifelong FWM fan here for over 50 years. My regret, never saw them perform live. The band has attracted multi-generational fans from all over the world. There will never be another story like this..... from Peter Green with Jeremy Spencer to Bob Welch and then on to the Lyndsey Buckingham with Steve Nicks era. Christine & John McVie and Mic Fleetwood held it all down as only they can. Always felt Christine was the soul of the band in her quiet demeanor with Mic Fleetwood pulling the strings like a puppeteer in piecing this band together from the 60s and into the 70s and beyond. I never grow tired of listening to this band........ NEVER! Favorite songs, Over My Head sung by the incomparable Christine McVie, Hypnotized sung by bob Welch, Silver Springs sung by Stvie Nicks & then Need Your Love performed by Peter Green. Must-listens: Everywhere, Dreams, Sara, Little Lies, Landslide, Silver Springs, You Make Loving Fun, Hypnotized, Albatross, Think About Me, and many, many, many more! Great reaction, TY
Another live one to check out is Tusk - they had University of Southern California's Trojans marching band join them for the song. The Tusk album wasn't well-received, but this song, especially live, was a standout. It brings shivers when the marching band comes on.
The LP Rumours came out in 1977 and the live show you saw was 20 years later in 1999 - Stevie Nicks (lead female vocalist) is awesome on her own - try 'Edge of seventeen' or ' Stop Draggin my heart Around' - they're amazeballs!
The earlier iteration of fleetwood Mac with Peter Green as the singer guitarist is also iconic. Listen to Green Manalishi, Albatross and Man of the world.
Oh you don’t even know what rabbit hole you just went down watching Fleetwood Mac. So many song that are absolutely stunning from this band. Time to explore.
I love these young'un's Gen Z 'first time hearing' vids. You were born years too late. "Classic" rock is timeless. I moved from Upstate NY to Arizona and 1977 as a 25 year old (am 73 now) and saw Fleetwood Mac live in Tucson during their Rumours tour. Fleetwood Mac is toward the soft rock end of the spectrum. Sadly we lost Christine McVie who passed at age 79 of cancer and a stroke in 2022. She had such a sweet voice. R.I.P. Christine. Also saw Pink Floyd live in Upstate NY in 1973 at the peak of their Dark Side Of The Moon tour.
Understand that the two singers were in a relationship since high school and broke up just as the band got big. Their biggest album is just songs about the two of them working through the end of their relationship by taking shots at one another (Go Your Own Way) and the other married couple in the band going through a divorce at the same time. The fascinating part is that there is a song that was left off of Rumors called Silver Springs. Stevie Nicks (the blond singer) wrote it and was devastated when it was left off. They all got back to together for a big show (I think this video for The Chain is from the same concert) and their performance of Silver Springs is legendary just for the amount of raw emotion and energy going back and forth between Nicks (singer) and Buckingham (guitarist). You really should give it a watch.
Mick Fleetwood is one of the most enjoyable drummers to watch. He has a joy in his eyes that you don't always see. Mick is a founding member from England, Lindsey Buckingham is American on the guitar. That's Stevie Nicks, she went on to a solo career in the 90's. Alone point or another I think everyone was in e relationship with someone else in the band and then drama. Some really good music to be heard from them.
The secret to this performance is a skilled monitoring engineer and the acoustic treatment of the venue. Stevie Nick’s engineer also worked for Barbara Streisand, Springsteen and Elvis, and was a master at optimising a venue for both performers and audiences. The better the performers hear themselves and the rest of the band, the better they mesh as a cohesive ensemble, which is especially important for tight harmonies like these.
When members of the band know their role and each other, it locks together like a juggernaut with building momentum. Your playing your part and listening to the others at the same time
I LOVE Fleetwood Mac!! My sister got to see them in concert in the 70's and I was so jealous. I was a bit too young to tag along. I love so many of their songs, "Rhiannon", "Silver Springs", "Go Your Own Way", "Gold Dust Woman", "Never Going Back Again", "Say You Love Me" and many many more. Stevie Nicks is the lead female vocals and she is one of my all time fav singers ever! She is phenomenally gifted. Thanks MollyBoy!!
I feel a 'Rabbit Hole' coming!.....

Christine McVie moved back to England and before she died she was a piano teacher. Can you imagine as a child having one of the greatest artists ever being your piano teacher. It would have been like having Mozart as your piano teacher.
RIP Ms McVie. We miss you.
Dont forget Christine McVeigh a
She wrote most of of the songs
Dont forget Christine McVeigh a
She wrote most of of the songs.
She was 79 when she died.
She was the genius of the group. ( not to take away anything from 7:30 the rest of the group. They were phenomenal.
I am admittedly old (63) and have been a big fan since the 70's - I used to cover their songs with my band in the late 70's. It is still inconceivable to me that there are people out there who don't know Stevie Nicks, she is the definition of an Icon. I smiled when he loved the harmonies between Christine McVie, Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham - they are magnificent, indeed. The Bassist, John McVie, and Christine were married and Stevie and Lindsey used to be quite the tempestuous couple. The constant strife and tensions between them ended up breaking up the band, as Lindsey and Stevie could hardly be in the same room together. John and Christine got divorced as well. But in the 90's they reunited and started touring and recording again. Stevie's solo career flourished as well, she is such a unique person with a very distinctive voice. Thanks for checking them out, they are one of the best bands. RIP Christine, we lost her not that long ago.
we did a cover of the chain in the early/late 2000s and almost everybody knew the song. it's a classic that will never be forgotten.
As a almost 63 yr old , I Agree.
Still love Fleetwood Mac.
Rumors was best album.
Declan, you'll be surprised at how different the studio album version of this sounds. If you listen to their album Rumours you will be hooked on them for life.
Seriously. It’s like an entirely different song. So crisp and clear.
No matter how many times I hear them, I want to hear them again and again.
You can't go wrong if you go down the Fleetwood Mac rabbit hole.
In case no one told you, they are originally from England. They were a blues band back then and all male. They came to the U.S. and the drummer Mick Fleetwood was looking for a new guitar player. He heard the Buckingham Nicks album and wanted to meet the guitar player. That guitar player was Lindsey Buckingham. Mick wanted Lindsey to join the band but Lindsey told him he and his girlfriend Stevie were a package deal. Take both of us or neither of us. Lindsey and Stevie joined the band December 31, 1974. Fleetwood Mac changed their sound from blues to rock. Stevie is singing duet with Lindsey in this song.
Mostly correct, Christine Perfect (later Christine McVie) played keyboard as session musician and then as a full member before the move to USA.
Band named after the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.
CHECK OUT Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac.
Albatross
Oh Well
Black Magic Woman
Green Manalishi
I guess Christine Perfect was just lip syncing then?
Christine Perfect and John McVie got married in Birmingham Register Office. She has to be one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
Peter Green and the original fleetwood mac were also a very good blues band .
Stevie Nicks is 76 years old and I just saw her live in Chicago in June with Billy Joel (who is 75). They both absolutely KILLED IT. Fantastic live shows, still.
I was supposed to see her in Glasgow at the beginning of July but it was postponed as she had a leg injury and I couldn't get time off work for the new date at the end of July as I live 400 miles away so I had to sell my ticket. Gutted!!!!!!😢
Goosebumps just reading! That's awesome you saw them AND TOGETHER!
I love them both as their voices are out of this world!
The Chain has been used so many times for the tune played over cycling programmes.
Must have been amazing!
Half UK & US band members! LOVE their music and one of the best bands coming out in the 70's. RIP Christie McV! Such a loss to musical talent! Please need a rabbit hole!
Their personal relationships within the band were brutal! And the pain and anger led to some inspired music! Welcome to the Fleetwood Mac rabbit hole, it's a great place to be!
The cocaine, too!
And none of that dynamic was going on in this performance. Gotta watch the old stuff
Yes it's very strange that this group over came alot of heart break and they are still together Wow.
Those harmonies are insane. And that bassline on the bridge...instantly recognizable!!
One of the greatest albums ever. Every single track goes together and is an absolute banger.
I love it when Guitar players shake their guitar like they’re trying to get every last note out of their instrument love it
"Hello, Miss. I don't know who you are, but..." 🤣 Beautiful!
🤣
I think every teenage boy in the 80s was crushing on Stevie Nicks
@@AllenPorter-qv8es Girls to to some capacity 😂
Most definitely @@AllenPorter-qv8es
And being 27 years away from that reunion tour, she's still holding up pretty well. 😁
😉 😍
I can tell you appreciate and enjoy a variety of music. I am 72 years old and just can't get enough of music. I grew up with music all around me. My dad was in a band and played music from the 30s, 40s and pop from the 50s. My mom was a coal miner's daughter and so her family was into the hillbilly and country music. Many of them sung with their guitars and banjos. My older sister rocked to the rock and roll of the 50s. Then as I entered my teen years I rocked with the sounds of the 60s and 70s. I also enjoyed all the music from the 80s to now. Music helps the soul stay healthy and joyful!
Rhiannon live from the mid 70’s is a must. Stevie Nicks was on fire! Dig deep into this group.
Live on The Midnight Special ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Each person on that stage is a true master of their art. They put their heart and soul into the creation of their music and every performance. This is something missing in music today with few exceptions. The 60s and 70s, and into the 80s were amazing for music. The lyrics, the talent, nothing recent has been comparable.
Lightening in a bottle. Just couldn't last forever before it burned out.
This band had 2 married couples who split up over the years , this song is the pact they made to keep the band going and NOT to break The Chain band wise
Stevie and Lindsey were never married
@@dvsreednot about them
Curious who the second married couple was? John & Christine were hitched, but Stevie & Lindsay weren't - just in a relationship, as was Stevie & Mick for a while.
@@EchoesDaBearMick & Stevie did fuck once whilst drunk. But it was just a one night thing
Stevie Nicks, Edge of Seventeen is the next step on this rabbit hole.
When the bass solo starts, this used to be the theme tune for Formula One when the BBC had the rights to broadcast it ✌️
The "cute" one is Stevie Nicks .her song Gypsy really deserves a listen. You will love it. She had a great solo career.❤❤
so funny to hear him refer to stevie as cute. SMH I am thinking to myself, dude - she was one of the sexiest women in the entirety of the 70's. kinda had to have been there...
Lindsey and Christine are good looking too
In high school, one of the many albums that was the soundtrack of our teen lives. Rumours blew up. We played it over and over and over.
100, what a summer when this came out, EVERYONE had this album. Plus Hotel California, damn we had it good.
Stevie Nicks' Landslide may be my favorite song of all time.
Her version of it on the 1997 "The Dance" album is my favorite!
The live version at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame induction is my favorite version of Landslide, but my favorite Stevie song is Silver Springs.
Lindsey B. Is such a unique guitarist!!! Love anything he does.
My mom bought this album in 1977 we played endlessly on our old Pioneer turntable.
This is one of the signature records of all time.
RIP Christine McVie my favourite band member
I bought this album too when it was released AND played it a lot on my Pioneer turntable. 😁😁
Christine Perfect - The Songbird RIP, what a voice.
If you watch Stevie Nicks live video of Edge of Seventeen you will go from liking her to loving her like the rest of us do.
I've seen her twice and she is as mesmerizing! She tells stories with her voice, I truly love her. I remember her with Don Henley, leather and lace, so beautiful.
Im 54 and this came out when i was 7. My mom loved them, i love them, my children love them, and my grandson also enjoys their music. 4 generations appreciate their musical genius
My 7yr grandson and 3yr grandaughter are getting a fleetwood mac education on the drive to&fro to school. Grandma rides old school!
1977. The year I graduated from high school. My generation was the Best music generation.
Stevie Nicks voice style is called .............MAGIC. I was 6 years old when I first heard Stevie Nicks voice, and I was in love instantly. Her voice melts me every time. Lindsay's guitar is a custom guitar made by Rick Turner. Is is a small hollow bodied electric guitar. Much lighter on the shoulders than an 8 lb Les Paul.
Christine McVie (Perfect...her maiden name) is one of my favorite musical artists of ALL TIME. The story of her joining Mac and what she did before this band is just incredible.
One of best bands of ALL TIME......NUMEROUS HITS
I've seen Fleetwood Mac twice in concert. They were both the loudest, and two of the best concerts I've ever seen. ...and I've seen MANY of the best groups out there. Rumours... Can't go wrong with that album.
Mick Fleetwood is a jack hammer on the drums.
The blonde singer is the amazing Stevie Nicks. She's really something.
The other singer and guitar player is Lindsay Buckingham.
The blonde backup singer and sometimes lead is Christine McVie.
Unbelievable, how can anyone not know who Stevie Nicks is?? The first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Gorgeous and a truly great singer. Their album Rumours sold over 40 million copies (equal 4th highest selling album of all time), went 21x Platinum in the US. Listen to the 1976 live version of "Rhiannon", or "Silver Springs", or any track from Rumours. I would 100% recommend the live Silver Springs, imo the saddest but most beautiful song of all time, how she gets so much beauty from so much pain is beyond me.
Probably in the same way that I have no clue who some of today's singers are. I envy Molly getting to experience some of the awesome music and artists I grew up with.
Stevie Nicks - Rhiannon
Because he's only 24, do the maths my friend, seems like yesterday but this music is old, like me 🤣🤣🤣It's very believable, but he has an open mind and wants to hear this stuff, so be encouraging rather than disparaging hey.
There are TWO other writers and singers in the band. Lindsey he is an amazing writer, singer, guitar player and producer. Christine had the MOST hits in the band and played keyboards and sang. You have to forgive these Stevie worshippers.
@@jenniebond It's FLEETWOOD MAC RHIANNON
The Dance was a later reunion concert when they were in their early 50s. The whole concert is incredible.
Everything about this band is great. The lead singer, Stevie Nicks, was every young man's dream in the 70's. Listen to more Fleetwood Mac, you won't be disappointed.
stevie christine & lindsey were all lead singers ~ there was no one lead singer ~ christine was in the band singing & songwriting & on keyboards from 1970 on ~ before nicks & buckingham joined the group ~ & bob welch was one of my favourite singers until he left the band ~
@@colecolettecole I'm aware of the singing talents of Christine, Rest In Peace, and it was not said to diminish her role in the band, rather it was a way to identify Stevie for MollyBoy. He will discover Christine's voice as he digs further into the catalog.
I saw Fleet Mac in 1976 and 1979 and they were one of the most talented bands ever. They have 3 lead singers and one of the best drum and bass combos in rock. Stevie was the most desirable woman in rock history.
Fleetwood Mac has a tumultuous history but one of the BEST BANDS EVER! This was extremely anticipated comeback and they didn't dissappoint.
Grew up with them, kinda took them for granted, finally saw them one of the first reunion tours in the 21st century, and was blown away. Dude, Buckingham is a MAJOR guitarist. Zooomed way up my rankings list in my head after that.
MORE FLEETWOOD MAC PLEASE ❤❤❤
The entire band are all master's of their craft!
Fleetwood Mac is worthy of a rabbit hole journey. They had many hits spanning multiple decades with 3 amazing lead singers. There's a reason Rumours was the #1 selling album for many decades. They're fire 🤘🏼
Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty - Stop Dragging my Heart Around
My parents loved Fleetwood Mac, I love them, and my children love them. Music is the greatest unifier!
This was from The Dance Tour 2001/2002. I got to attend their Orlando Florida concert. My fiance bought me tickets for my 30th birthday. Stevie Knicks is the Goddess on the tambourine and put me into puberty at 6 years old on the cover of the Rumors album. I have always loved that woman's incredible voice. RIP Christie McVie on piano. We have lost so many songs now. Such a great loss. Truly loved watching your reaction to my childhood :)! Keep em coming mate!
Mic Fleetwood (Drummer)and the guy in the photo cover, Stevie Nicks lead vocals, Lindsey Buckingham Lead Guitar and vocals

But a very awesome ICON in our Music 🥁🎸♥️

"SILVER SPRINGS"❤
This performance was recorded in 1997 for their live album 'The Dance'... the song was from their 1977 mega-hit album 'Rumours' - 20 million+ copies sold in the US alone and one of the biggest selling records of all time ... The song 'Dreams' on the album became a hit single again recently. Other hits from the album - "Don't stop"... "Go your own way" ... 'Gold dust woman' ... 'You make loving fun'...
Fleetwood Mac was originally formed in the late 60's by Mick Fleetwood (drums), John McVie (bass) and Peter Green (vocals & guitar)... but Green left soon after cos of a mental breakdown... The band recorded a number of albums in the early 70's w/ various members... John McVie married the keyboardist/ vocalist Christine McVie and she became a member of Fleetwood Mac.
In 1974, Fleetwood Mac fractured and Mick, John and Christine relocated to Los Angeles and looked for new members... They were recommended Lindsey Buckingham (vocals/ guitar), a talented musician who recorded 1 album 'Buckingham Nicks' w/ girlfriend and aspiring singer Stevie Nicks... Buckingham accepted the offer to join Fleetwood Mac if Stevie joined w/ him... and they agreed.
Fleetwood Mac released their self-titled album in 1975 and it became a huge hit w/ the single 'Rhiannon' (sung by Stevie Nicks) and 'say you love me' (sung by Christine McVie) ... Fleetwood Mac benefited creatively w/ 3 songwriters and singers - Nicks, Buckingham and Christine McVie.
Working on the next album 'Rumours' in 1977... egos, drugs and drama led to John & Christine McVie splitting up... Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham also split up during the recording... Their songs captured their heartbreak and turmoil and became the biggest record of their career and Fleetwood Mac became superstars.
Lindsey Buckingham opted to record a double album 'Tusk' in 1979 but it sold considerably less than 'Rumours'... but the drama and conflicts within the former couples continued as they recorded the 'Mirage' album in 1982 w/ the hits 'Hold me' ... 'Gypsy... and sold 2x platinum.
By 1987, internal tensions were escalating... Stevie Nicks was now a successful solo singer and was barely in the studio... Buckingham crafted the album 'Tango in the night' and it sold 3x platinum w/ the hits - 'Everywhere' ... 'Big love'... 'Little lies' ... 'Seven wonders'... However, Lindsey Buckingham grew weary of the drama and quit the band before the tour (which upset Stevie Nicks considerably at the time)
Fleetwood Mac hired 2 new guitarists to tour... but without Buckingham, their 1990 album 'Behind the mask' only sold gold. Stevie Nicks withdrew from music in the 90's and Fleetwood Mac were over.
In 1996, US president Bill Clinton used the Fleetwood Mac song "Don't stop" for his campaign and the band was invited to perform at his 2nd inauguration.
In 1997, the classic Fleetwood Mac (Mick/ John/ Christine/ Lindsey/ Stevie) reunited for a massive tour and a show was filmed for the live album 'The Dance', which sold 5x platinum... but a weary Christine McVie quit the band in 1999. They released their final studio album 'Say you will' in 2003... Fleetwood Mac still sold huge numbers on tour and in 2014, Christine McVie reunited to tour w/ the band again.
In 2017, Lindsey Buckingham was fired at Stevie Nick's request and 2 new guitarists were added so that Fleetwood Mac could tour extensively between 2018 and 2019... It would be Fleetwood Mac's final tour.
In 2022, Christine McVie passed away from cancer, likely ending Fleetwood Mac... Stevie Nicks honored Christine McVie at her solo shows.
Perfect!
Thanks for your respect for Lindsey's guitar work. His artistry made their concerts an exercise in extasy.
Kind of a theme with them... inter band relationships, marriages and breakups... what better revenge than make your ex sing a song with you, that you wrote about them being an ass and ruining things. There are several with this group by this group.
In all of Fleetwood Mac's impressive catalog, this song is unique in that it's the only one that every single member has a writing credit on. Literally a team effort that came together in the most beautiful way.
Stevie Nicks is a national treasure. 🇺🇸
The musical influences on this song are Blues and Folk with lots of great fingerpicking!
Fleetwood Mac has been together for essentially their whole lives - and their albums tell the story of their lives and each other. A stellar group, and a unique experience.
One the greatest albums ever!!! The women!!! Frickin amazing!!!
This song was that good the instrumental part of the song was used as the Formula 1 theme from between 1978-2015. For more Fleetwood Mac I would definitely recommend "Tusk" , "Dreams" or "Go your own way". I also would recommend The Manic Street Preachers, specifically "Faster", "Motorcycle empitness" or "If You Tolerate This" because of their deep lyrics. Love from a fellow Brummie!
Love The Manics, they are from South Wales and I know Nicky Wire via my husband, who met him years ago.
I still can't help but think F1 any time I hear the refrain. Just like Fanfare for the Common Man is the Brisca music to me.
Totally seconding the Manics, "If you Tolerate This" is still one of my utter favorites.
Love from the Black Country!
ALL the Fleetwood Mac songs are worth re-playing. Never apologize for rewinding a part of a song to listen to it again.
Yeah. Just start over with the 1982 live performance. I promise no one will mind.
Oh, Yeah!😊
no the studio
Without a little context, that performance might scare the knickers off Molly Boy. But let's do it anyway😂
@@josephbishop3590 🤣
@josephbishop3590 You can def feel the tension lol... The best comparison I've heard is that it's like watching your parents fighting in the kitchen. 🤣
One of the Music Giants that roamed the musical land of the 70’s! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸
Landslide and Silver Springs have videos that are also from this show. Stevie and Lindsay have mad chemistry and drama. Lol
They are part American, part British! And wow! the combination was dynamite! More of this please!
Stevie Nicks is a Goddess! Been a fan of Fleetwood Mac since mid 70s! Huge convoluted story to the band’s loves, conflicts, and breakups! Stevie wrote this on the mid 70s, Lindsey Buckingham the incredible guitarist had been her partner for years, before they joined the band. They met in High School, started college together (I was going to San Jose State University at the same time). There were huge hard feelings between them and they had broken up the year before when she wrote it. This was performed 20 years later. I’ve seen Stevie Nicks live twice since 2016! Amazing performer. Stevie is the only woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, one for Fleetwood Mac, once for her solo career! Up until Christie McVie (keyboardist) died, MFM still toured and she also has been touring her solo show since the 80s. I love her original songs the best!
Brother, you seem to have discovered classic rock! Lifelong FWM fan here for over 50 years. My regret, never saw them perform live. The band has attracted multi-generational fans from all over the world. There will never be another story like this..... from Peter Green with Jeremy Spencer to Bob Welch and then on to the Lyndsey Buckingham with Steve Nicks era. Christine & John McVie and Mic Fleetwood held it all down as only they can. Always felt Christine was the soul of the band in her quiet demeanor with Mic Fleetwood pulling the strings like a puppeteer in piecing this band together from the 60s and into the 70s and beyond. I never grow tired of listening to this band........ NEVER! Favorite songs, Over My Head sung by the incomparable Christine McVie, Hypnotized sung by bob Welch, Silver Springs sung by Stvie Nicks & then Need Your Love performed by Peter Green. Must-listens: Everywhere, Dreams, Sara, Little Lies, Landslide, Silver Springs, You Make Loving Fun, Hypnotized, Albatross, Think About Me, and many, many, many more! Great reaction, TY
Rumours is a fantastic album. The whole thing. Every song is great.
Bro. I’m old. Thank you! It gives me joy to see you see these true artists from back then!
Another live one to check out is Tusk - they had University of Southern California's Trojans marching band join them for the song. The Tusk album wasn't well-received, but this song, especially live, was a standout. It brings shivers when the marching band comes on.
And it's GO GO GO....... Murray Walker and this for the Formula One intro music was an iconic combination
The LP Rumours came out in 1977 and the live show you saw was 20 years later in 1999 - Stevie Nicks (lead female vocalist) is awesome on her own - try 'Edge of seventeen' or ' Stop Draggin my heart Around' - they're amazeballs!
The earlier iteration of fleetwood Mac with Peter Green as the singer guitarist is also iconic. Listen to Green Manalishi, Albatross and Man of the world.
Fleetwood Mac was a great band. They are in their 70's
Fleetwood Mac is a vibe. I love all types of music from light to heavy and they will always be one of my favs
Lindsey Buckingham is a seriously underrated guitarist, and this is coming from a metal head. 🤘🏽
I said the same! He's phenomenal!❤
I agree.
'
Anyone that has seen Lindsey play live never under rates him.
Oh you don’t even know what rabbit hole you just went down watching Fleetwood Mac. So many song that are absolutely stunning from this band. Time to explore.
Dude, you are in for some AMAZING music with Fleetwood Mac!!!!
Each one, a master in their craft. One of the greatest assemblages of talent ever to have graced our ears. Love me some Fleetwood Mac.
Gotta check out the studio track
I love these young'un's Gen Z 'first time hearing' vids. You were born years too late. "Classic" rock is timeless. I moved from Upstate NY to Arizona and 1977 as a 25 year old (am 73 now) and saw Fleetwood Mac live in Tucson during their Rumours tour. Fleetwood Mac is toward the soft rock end of the spectrum. Sadly we lost Christine McVie who passed at age 79 of cancer and a stroke in 2022. She had such a sweet voice. R.I.P. Christine. Also saw Pink Floyd live in Upstate NY in 1973 at the peak of their Dark Side Of The Moon tour.
The woman is Stevie Nicks..quite the impressive solo career as well. Must experience!
Cocteau Twins “ blue bell knoll “, I can’t explain with words what this song makes me feel .
Understand that the two singers were in a relationship since high school and broke up just as the band got big. Their biggest album is just songs about the two of them working through the end of their relationship by taking shots at one another (Go Your Own Way) and the other married couple in the band going through a divorce at the same time. The fascinating part is that there is a song that was left off of Rumors called Silver Springs. Stevie Nicks (the blond singer) wrote it and was devastated when it was left off. They all got back to together for a big show (I think this video for The Chain is from the same concert) and their performance of Silver Springs is legendary just for the amount of raw emotion and energy going back and forth between Nicks (singer) and Buckingham (guitarist). You really should give it a watch.
the whole band are absolute QUALITY!
Mick Fleetwood is one of the most enjoyable drummers to watch. He has a joy in his eyes that you don't always see. Mick is a founding member from England, Lindsey Buckingham is American on the guitar. That's Stevie Nicks, she went on to a solo career in the 90's. Alone point or another I think everyone was in e relationship with someone else in the band and then drama. Some really good music to be heard from them.
The secret to this performance is a skilled monitoring engineer and the acoustic treatment of the venue. Stevie Nick’s engineer also worked for Barbara Streisand, Springsteen and Elvis, and was a master at optimising a venue for both performers and audiences. The better the performers hear themselves and the rest of the band, the better they mesh as a cohesive ensemble, which is especially important for tight harmonies like these.
Silver springs from same album will have xou in tears with the power and emotion between stevie /lindsey
That album cover was everywhere in the 70s and 80s
When members of the band know their role and each other, it locks together like a juggernaut with building momentum. Your playing your part and listening to the others at the same time
I LOVE Fleetwood Mac!! My sister got to see them in concert in the 70's and I was so jealous. I was a bit too young to tag along. I love so many of their songs, "Rhiannon", "Silver Springs", "Go Your Own Way", "Gold Dust Woman", "Never Going Back Again", "Say You Love Me" and many many more. Stevie Nicks is the lead female vocals and she is one of my all time fav singers ever! She is phenomenally gifted. Thanks MollyBoy!!
