I don’t think people realize how difficult it is to fingerpick a guitar like that… absolutely insane. Lindsey Buckingham will forever remain one of the most underrated guitarists ever.
As a drummer, the look on Mick Fleetwood’s face when he’s playing is so real to me, it completely evokes the emotion that I feel too when I play this song
20 years ago I was at a Fleetwood Mac gig in Oberhausen/ Germany, in the front row. I was able to see, through a small gap, that there was a second drummer hidden under the stage, who played exactly the same drum parts (same movements) like Mick. Wow, that surprised me. Anyway, I love Fleetwood Mac and I love Mick Fleetwood.
I'm 7 years younger than you but Fleetwood Mac was and still is a big influence on my musical tastes. This performance was about as tight as you can get. RIP Christine McVie, you were one of a kind.
i would simply explode out of my body and ascend to heaven if i ever had the opportunity to see this live. this whole album is magical. goosebumps on every song.
I have seen the Mac in Concert 5 times and in each concert, they start the show off with the Chain. It sets the tone for the whole rest of the concert. The Mac has a sound that is simply mesmerizing at times. There are unquestionably in the top 5 of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.
Lindsay...what can i say. His playing will never get old for me. One of the best bands ever with so much talent and one of the best songs imo. Rip Christine 💕
@@l.christinejones8164 Underrated guitarist... because most don't know about his skills on the guitar. He's never in any top lists (of course Lukather isn't either and he's one of the finest guitarists to have picked up an ax).
@@l.christinejones8164 Uhm, I'm 44 years old, grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, in addition to Lindsey's work with Stevie before... I'm far from just discovering Lindsey Buckingham. Look at the lists and where he ranks. For example, he was at 100 on RS top 100 guitarists of all time... And look who was put ahead of him. Look at where he ranks on other lists as well. He better than the bottom of a list, and he's overshadowed in some eyes by guitarists with lots of bells, whistles and frills rather than looking at his ability, innovation, rig and technique. In addition, people that know Fleetwood Mac don't think of Lindsey (only those true musical connoisseurs who truly know all about the band know Lindsey's contributions). When the average Joe thinks of guitarists, they think of Clapton, Hendrix, Van Halen, Slash, (or God forbid Page) etc because they've been in the limelight and given the label of 'great'. In the case of Jimi and Clapton, that's true, of course. Of course, RS is pure bullshit anyway. For example, Kurt Cobain?? Laughable. Cobain was a mediocre guitarist at best. And no mention of Vince Gill, Jerry Reed, or especially Roy Clark, who was a true guitar God. Cobain above Buckingham. Stephen Stills above Lindsey. Everyone on the list is above Lindsey, and this is ridiculous. That, my friend, is the meaning of underrated.
That bassline gets me every time, plus Lindseys incredible guitar work and the phenomenal vocal harmonies. This song is a Masterpiece. Rest in Peace Christine Mcvie 🔥🙌👏💖🎶🔥
Just watching Stevie face her body AWAY from the crowd and sing directly to Lindsey.. chills. This whole show was filled with rekindled anger, hurt, and passion and I love it
She wrecked an astonishing band because she was having a temper tantrum, I don't love it. Yes, she's an incredible singer and writer, but so is Lindsey Buckingham (as well as an amazing musician). She should have been a grown up about it. Her body language just shouts, "POUTING CHILD" to me.
@@shanonrowland4953 I mean he was physically and verbally abusive to her over the course of their relationship. So I would say there was some merit behind her feelings
It was fun telling my then teenage daughter how these were two couples that were going through bitter break-ups at the same time and the shouting of the lyrics back and forth at each other was the real deal of what they were going through and not just a stage performance. Her jaw dropped. 🙂 It doesn't get more authentic than that.
Totally agree. There are just so many great guitar players that it would seem easy to get lost in the crowd and not get the credit you deserve. I mean I can name 10 people off the top of my head who most people would recognize as 'the best' and not even consider LB.
It’s like Lindsay spent fifteen years thinking, ‘how can I make the best song I ever wrote sound even better’ and he finally got his chance. His playing on this live version is just mesmerizing.
@@tamaskemner5739 :Please Tamas Kemmer, look up on wiki to find out who this super group is. Either you are too young to know about them or you have lived under a rock.
@@je7887 Campbell played with them for like two years after they ‘let Lindsay go’. He wrote no songs for Fleetwood Mac, and is most certainly NOT the guitar player at this show, which was filmed twenty plus years ago.
Hi Richard! Could you please tell me what form of recording you have because the cd I have is the worst recording that I own. Out of about 600. You would think a high end system would be a plus for this cd. Bryston cd, Krell preamp and amplifiers mono blocks. Thanks you so much. Oh yeah Thiel 7.2’s.

I bumped into Mick Fleetwood in a shoe shop whilst on holiday in Sydney. I just stood there mouth wide open and he calmly walked up, towering over me, smiled and said ‘Hello, how are you,’ like he’d known me forever. I just smiled and said ‘I’m fine thank you’. I didn’t know what else to say!
…my favorite part till this day is Stevie turning her back to the audience and looking over her shoulder and singing at Lindsey…and him glancing back.. and singing at her…unforgettable takes me back to 97.❤
@@gms77777that moment is so electric, intense and alluring. I was 13 watching this air on PBS with my dad.. he turned to me and said…they have history and laughed.😂 I had no idea at the time what he was talking about.😅❤
Yes, but they are also watching each other's lips to synchronise their harmonies. As Lindsay also has to concentrate on his guitar, most of that responsibility falls on Stevie.
It's a miracle to find people with whom you can play and make music as a band..it's like a marriage and certainly here for Fleetwood Mac. That marriage lasts and lasts through decades of love&hate, disgust and praise, misunderstandings and mishaps and everything at once. What a band....what a sound..we all took for granted.. somehow..we got used to it. And now they're gone....but we can still listen to the miracle and magic of their music!!!
RUMORs came out 1977 same year my brother died. The album was such a big hit and overplayed and every time I heard songs over the years a bad reminder of that time. But one day I found solace in the songs the words and the singers. Christine McVie, thank you for all you did to give us such amazing timeless music!! 143 always
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Lynsay Buckingham is. He’s playing the song without a pick and sounding clean! Do people realise how hard that is?
@@antoineagagiors4013 It's really common, just not heard so much in classic rock. The masters of this style go back a long way, especially to traditional blues. My own personal modern favourite was Kelly Joe Phelps (also a masterful fingerpicking lap slide player) but he left us recently too young. th-cam.com/video/7aSCeN01BFA/w-d-xo.html
Yeah the way Lyndsay fingerpicks is a completely unique style. Which means that even guitarists who are experienced fingerpickers can't play his songs, without a _HELL_ of a lot of practice because he fingerpicks backwards, in a way. It's like how drummers say that it's incredibly hard to play like Ringo Starr did, and he's so highly respected amongst drummers because of that. It was partly because he played a left handed drum set while being right handed, so everything he played was "backwards". And he just has such an insanely gold sense of rhythm and groove that is very difficult to replicate. Also he used the drums as a songwriter, instead of as a drummer. You can recognise every single Beatles song just by listening to the drums, with everything else muted, because each song had a completely unique drum beat. Lyndsay Buckingham is the same way but for guitar. The way he played was completely unique, completely his own. And it's very difficult to learn how to fingerpick backwards, like he does, if you've only ever fingerpicked in the traditional styles. You kinda have to throw out everything you've learned already, and start from scratch. And even then it's very difficult, but then also having to _SING_ at the same time is next to impossible for some tracks without a great deal of practice. His live solo version of Big Love is a particularly good example. It's absolutely insane playing. Buckingham is one of the top 10 guitarists ever in any genre. He has never got the respect or recognition that he really deserves.
Lindsey and Stevie are having at each other, Christine just plays the keyboard and doesn't really care, Mick is having fun, and John is just...playing the bass; that's the band for you.
I know you jest, probably.? This concert was way after the drama of all that. They did run into a little bit of drama this year when they kicked Lindsey out of the band.
I think it's more Stevie than Lindsey now, he's more focused on his guitar. Could also just be another part of the show. That they still have drama today though is freaking incredible
I guess we are all here wishing we could go back to the late 70’s through the 80’s. I know I wish I could. My 26 year old daughter who listens to our generations music tells me all the time she wished she could’ve experienced it
Peace my 18yr old says the same. She loved "I Need you tonight" INXS. She is shy but actually danced in Target to it. We dont do that to more current songs😊
My son is 33 he grew up listening to what my parents broke me in on and a mix of my own generational music. So from Elvis The Beatles The Stones The Doors CCR CREAM Hendrix And so many more thru Aerosmith Fleetwood Mac Van Halen Skynnyrd just so many I couldn't name them all all the way thru Guns n Roses and The Grunge from Seattle music scene. And like I said he's 33 now likes 60's thru early to mid 90's stuff better than what garbage gets put out now. Don't get me wrong there are very talented artists today but you mostly have to go independent to find them. Dallas Green/ City and Colour is good and many others.
Not me. I was there. Now I can listen to that plus all the stuff that went before and came after. Plus music from all over the globe. In the 70's I wouild have had a handful of albums and a cheap record player to play them. In the 80's it would more been cassettes. Now I can see what led Zeppelin played at Earls Court, after I had to leave to get the train. and then go watch a band from Algeria. To paraphrase a line from Full Metal Jacket, we are Jolly Green Giants astride an ocean of music. Also, as with any decade there was also a fair amount of rubbish back then as well. Time filters that out. But it was there. What you might be missing is being young again. Nostalgia often filters the memories of that too. I'm happy with now. I go back and listen to stuff I grew up on (and I'm going to see 10cc in a few weeks time) but there is a lot of talent and superb music out there now, just a click away. This is more a reply to wanting to go back, not a reflection on the video itself, which was great. I think great music is great music no matter the time or place it's from.
Every live performance I can't get over the differences between Stevie and Lindsey's energies- no matter how long it's been. Her anger is so cold, with her glances at him (aka death stare) and his palpable, kinetic rage- the jumping, the yelling. Makes it even better.
She's the one that left him though. And then he wrote "Go your own way" and made HER sing about how she was "packing up, shacking up" and she's never forgiven him for it, lol.
Emily Rose it gives me chills everytime I watch this performance. I feel the glances and the rage makes my heart skip a beat. God I love Fleetwood Mac!
@ Emily Rose: Better be careful with the judgement on someone's glances, it's perfect a playground for your own preconceptions as long as you do not know the person more intimately in her/his usual gestions or facial expressions. Why not understand Stevie Nick's expression as "what a pity we couldn't do well together"? After all I've heard about their quarrels, my poit is: both Stevie and Lindsey are supersized personalities, just like many great musicians are, but they could have matched up to a real BIG LOVE, if they had not played in the same band. Unfortunately for themselves, but fortunately for the audience of "Rumours".
I know everyone is revisiting Fleetwood Mac's music since the sad passing of Christine, RIP!!! But watching the way Lindsey Buckingham plays guitar is utterly unbelievable every time I see him play!!!!
Yeah IKR? Fleetwood Mac wouldn’t be the same without them both 😢(Lindsey is still alive. He got fired 4 years ago after smiling at Stevie while she was accepting the awards)
When Stevie wags her finger at Christine its in response to the news that Christine would be leaving the band imminently (thus breaking the chain). Christine returned to the Mac in 2014. R.I.P dear lady......... you made loving music fun.
I get emotional watching this, because they’re just absolute class. One of those bands who actually sound better performing live than in a studio, because of their pure talent. ❤
Yes, just like Queen. Talent keeps the songs evolving and improving over time. No auto-tune, no backing track, just raw talent. Lindsey is a remarkable guitar player, and he puts this live track on legendary status.
Their album sound is quite great, but some of their songs get such oomph in the live versions. E.g. Big love is nice on album, but the live version is just mindboggling (albeit being a Buckingham solo).
The whole band sounds so good. Absolute top of their game. Those drums though. Rarely do you hear drums tuned that nice, and punching that hard. This entire performance has me picking my jaw up off the floor. No matter how many times I watch this, I always want to see it again.
This song is the essence of Christine McVie in Fleetwood Mac after Nicks/Buckingham joined as a duo. She was the lush warmth in her vocals that beautifully completed Lindsey and Stevie’s sharp tones. She also wrote most of their hits and sneakily was the lead singer, a lot, behind the keyboards.. which also ain’t easy. Amazing musician.
Christine was amazing and penned some absolutely lovely songs...but she did not write "most" of their hits (solo, anyway - the whole band is credited on many of their songs).
@@marialagerstrom6753 McVie was in the band singing long before Stevie and Lindsey even joined. Stevie and Lindsey came in and wrote and sang amazing songs no doubt, but McVie is right there with them. She didn't crave the spotlight as much, though. And as a keyboardist, she was busy on stage. McVie's big hits she wrote and sang include Little Lies, Hold me, Over My Head, Say You Love Me, You Make Loving Fun, Everywhere, and Don't Stop. She's no backup singer.
@@marialagerstrom6753 They were all lead singers. Stevie and Lindsey were the front men. Christine was a bit weighed down by playing keyboards. Lindsey sang lead/co-lead most in concert by a significant margin. Usually about 50%. [On the albums Stevie sang lead/co-lead on 25% of songs between 1975-1987. Christine around 33% and Lindsey 50%] Stevie's time as a lead singer grew on stage from 75-97, except for 87 when it decreased again, but she was never #1 in terms of songs sung as lead or co-lead. Even when it was just Lindsey and Stevie from 2003-2013 and it started out 50/50 he sang more because she always dropped songs from the set list and he didn't.
My new girlfriend had this as an album and it was on repeat...I do not regret those times in fact I married the girl in 1979 seems like yesterday ,she is gone now but her music still makes me smile/cry cherish your loved ones, and love the music
@Blunt33bdx seen them enough to tell you that you are SOO FUCKIN' Right!!! They rocked me every time every way every year I saw them up to now!!! 2023, everything about them was wonderful exciting and different EACH time!! EVEN without Lindsey, they can Rock like hell!! FM is one Hell of a Band!!
Absolutely agree. I picked up my love for them and many other bands that played before I was born (and after) from my parents. I wouldn’t take it back at all. I have a record collection I’m very proud of and would rather buy records then most shopping 🤩
god they each have such unique voices and their harmonies are untouchable, but christine’s voice always stands out to me as being the most pleasing and beautiful to listen to. thank you for sharing your songs and voice with us, christine.
@@rockdoublard okay basically it was lindsey being abusive and hurt stevie and they both hurt eachother and then they broke up and not a long time after that lindsey left the fucking band and then stevie left the band and then they reunited with fleetwood mac. It's not basically that much hate. They're now in a good place somehow.
Me 61 years young dancing like a mad wild child at 7am on a Milan Italy morning - feeling I’m In Ibiza 1985 hearing this song at the club Amnesia . Yes THIS IS A CERTIFIED ROCK MASTERPIECE ! Song rewind and had to watch it again -this TIME WITH GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY. I just fell in love again with Lynsay Buckingham all over again💯‼️❤️ is he single? I am super serious 💣💥 my Gosh this performance for all of Fleetwood Mac is phenomenal - really mind blowing 💣💥!!! I could listen to this all day
The band's chemistry is undeniable, with each member bringing their own distinct style to the table. The harmonies between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are particularly magical and have become a trademark of the band's sound. Their discography is full of timeless classics such as "Rumours," "Go Your Own Way," and "The Chain." Fleetwood Mac's live shows are pure talent. They truly are one of the greatest bands of all time. I love them.
What a masterpiece! People love to pit them against one another and they had trouble getting along sometimes, but thank goodness they were able to create this art!
I often wonder if the incredible 'Rumours' album was so good in spite of all the conflicts going on in the band, or was it because of them? I don't pretend to know how an artist's temperament informs their art, but I do know good music when I hear it.
I came here for the memories of Christine McVee and was reminded of how Fleetwood Mac shaped my youth. This was my favorite rock song. I love you Christine. RIP
This is the type of song that it doesn’t sink in how legendary it is when you listen to it for the first time. And the more you listen to it the more you understand that it’s one of the most iconic songs ever.
That was exactly my experience. I bought Rumours immediately when it hit the stores. I said "so what" when I first heard The Chain. By the time I saw FM in concert, about 2 months later, you knew it would get to the top 10. Yes, John and Mick are outstanding on this song.
Rumours...for me one of the greatest masterpiece in music..just epic...It will last forever! Thank you Fleetwood Mac for giving me some of the best days of my live ! RIP Christine😔
I'm 52, and my dad introduced me to Fleetwood Mac when I was 15 (Rumours - I remember the album cover so well) . This was the first song of theirs I listened to. Been a fan ever since. I introduced my 12 year old son to Fleetwood Mac last year, and now he knows each and every song from the Rumours album. You can say Fleetwood Mac's music runs in our blood. 😄
There is no Fleetwood Mac without Buckingham. Even if they have 4/5 members they still don't have their heart and soul and overall the best talent that the band has ever seen which is Buckingham. Truly the most underrated musician of all time.
The Green God named the band Fleetwood Mac because he knew he would leave, but under much different circumstances. If you've never seen the documentary "Man of the World" and you're a Fleetwood Mac fan - WATCH IT!
when he's screaming "run run run" at the end ... this performance is so amazing at so many levels... the drama between him and stevie their musical genius... it's one of the best live musical performances ever
Man o man, does anyone else feel the intensity/electricity between Stevie and Lindsay when she looks at him? And Mick's intensity is off the charts! Man, this song can give me goosebumps. The electricity of everyone. And Christie's look is like, yeah, chains, man I've seen some stuff. But I love them all.
... and I must mention John's excellent bass, especially in this song! I love how the song hits a climax, then it comes down to just the bass and a little drumming, and then it crescendos to another climax. This is genius. The song's intensity takes you on a roller-coaster of emotion that complements the meaning of the song. What a fantastic band!
John McVie is often overlooked in the praise for this live recording of the incredible song. His bass playing anchors the song perfectly, quietly, steadily and rhythmically ... all the passion swirling around his playing kind of overshadows it, but give a listen and appreciate his contribution.
Das gabe ich auch, bin heimlich an das tonband meines bruders gegangen, und hab sie alle gehört: carol king, alan parson, wolfsmond, nina hagen, fleedwood mac, cat stevens, eine bunte mischung, aber ich liebe sie alle..
My 5years old daughter loves Fleetwood Mac!, we have to show kids what real music is. I was born in the 80s so I just have the records from the best era of music.
The 70s music will never get old....the BEST era in music bar none and these guys had alot to do with it......they truly don't make music like this anymore what a crime....Rumors what an album
I love watching Mic play. He always just seemed to take it as a child just having fun with his bandmates. I have learned from him watching him play and talk in different interviews. I am not suggesting he made no mistakes, but I think he was such a stable force in Fleetwood Mac.
@@healingenso7923AC/DC were young men. Mick, John, Lindsey and Stevie are in their 70's. Factor in that Lindsey isn't currently part of the group, and John is full of arthritis these days, I reckon its safe to say that the Mac are over.
I’ve never listened to Fleetwood Mac. But I stumbled apon this song, and I have ear buds max volume on. One of the best songs ever created. The ending and solo got me absolutely fired up and ready to run through a wall. The energy from the band and the passion is unmeasurable.
The first time I heard this song 1977. It was my favorite song of Rumours. And I heard it many times the day. And I still love this song. I love the solo and the tempo
@RIPSYY thats the great thing about music, you can discover it whenever, its always there. Plenty of bands I got into well after they were deemed "fashionable"
It's unreal to me that these 2 kept writing those amazing songs from one another, filled with deep meaning from their relationship and still perform it flawlessly after all these years.
This tour, in my opinion, is the best they have ever sounded live. I love watching it over and over, just mind blown how great they not only look, but sound.
No the earlier the better...all that falsetto w Stevie not knowing it would fuck her voice up is the best...100% reaction high as u want but unfortunately that kind of singing voice will fuck up anyone's voice
love how lindsey's voice cracks at the end there. he's playing with such passion. his guitar sound is so unique and not overly flashy. you know its him when u hear it. what a legend!

Hell yes, I first heard that bassline when I was watching F1 in 1996 as a kid. This tune was the intro song back then.

If you've noticed much of his drumming is on the counter beat. I think he was one of the best at that
The way Lyndsay Buckingham is picking that guitar is unbelievable..he is so underrated.
Totally agree. There are just so many great guitar players that it would seem easy to get lost in the crowd and not get the credit you deserve. I mean I can name 10 people off the top of my head who most people would recognize as 'the best' and not even consider LB.
He "was" a one of a kind. I never saw anyone play a guitar like it's a banjo, aside from LB.
Is in the top 100 guitarist
The way he does the solo alongside the bass awesome
It’s like Lindsay spent fifteen years thinking, ‘how can I make the best song I ever wrote sound even better’ and he finally got his chance. His playing on this live version is just mesmerizing.
@@tamaskemner5739 :Please Tamas Kemmer, look up on wiki to find out who this super group is. Either you are too young to know about them or you have lived under a rock.
mesmerizing !! 🤯😱
The guitarist is Mike Campbell not LB.
@@je7887 Campbell played with them for like two years after they ‘let Lindsay go’. He wrote no songs for Fleetwood Mac, and is most certainly NOT the guitar player at this show, which was filmed twenty plus years ago.
@@je7887 That is Lindsey Buckingham lead guitarist and singing the hell out of his song.
Still can't get my head around Christine had gone. Pure talent and will be missed. We think they live on forever 😪
Feels like I'll never be the same. Sad AF
The Queen
And Christine
This band was such a big part of my formative years, And Christine was a big part of that. So much talent in a majical band.
Their music does live on forever.
@@CryptoGrizzly710 sher is garbage just like your comment
There is nothing to compare to this God-like performance by any music group in our world.
I'm not quite sure... does that mean you liked it? 🤣
Well said,it's magnificent 👍
Name a group that had such chemistry and interpersonal relationships that lead to so many great hits. The love/hate dynamic was simply off the charts!
I'll say Pink Floyd is close.
Mainer, love Fleetwood Mac
@@LindaBlackwell-o6k Mainer for 30 years...
Boney M? 😁
Nobody ever wrote a great song about a romance that went really well.
Quite simply put, This is one of the greatest pieces of music from the 20th century.
Absolutely magnificent!!
Totally agree!
Agreed. Will there ever be a decade like the 70's? Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, and a host of others.
@@tarheel181 Doubtful. 70's was incredibly unique and special.
There are plenty out there, but I would agree with you. I would argue it's not so much the song as its performance by this group.
@catholicdad What ever the perspective or interpretation. It's totally brilliant.
The live mix of this concert is superb. The placing of the drums and the cleaness of the vocals especially. Brilliant.
Hi Richard! Could you please tell me what form of recording you have because the cd I have is the worst recording that I own. Out of about 600. You would think a high end system would be a plus for this cd. Bryston cd, Krell preamp and amplifiers mono blocks. Thanks you so much. Oh yeah Thiel 7.2’s.
The bass was too low IMO
Me 79 years old. Still loving it
Me too I'm 69

Pois eu te vejo te vejo por dentro te vejo por fora veja o seu passado basta agora você seguir o caminho ao Horizonte sempre relatando a verdade da criança a qual você foi lá atrás comece relatando o seu crescimento A qual houve lá atrás até a sua adolescência e até a idade a qual você está tendo a idade adulta porque a verdade tem que ser começada a ser escrita lá atrás nunca do meio para frente porque Deus ele tem o livro da criança qual é você e ele quer ver o livro do adolescente a qual está funcionando uma verdade porque perante o advogado e o juiz
Por que o nosso Deus ele sendo juízo advogado ele sabe sabe quem está falando a verdade ele sabe conhecer um homem quando quer mentir e ele mostra o mentiroso nada fica escondido debaixo dos olhos do nosso criador porque ele conhece a obra a qual somos nós então amor começa o caminho fazendo o certo para se tornar um caminho justo
yea boyyyy
Congratulations. Love this group Keep on rocking Neil
32 here, will still be listening to this in 40 years too
I bumped into Mick Fleetwood in a shoe shop whilst on holiday in Sydney. I just stood there mouth wide open and he calmly walked up, towering over me, smiled and said ‘Hello, how are you,’ like he’d known me forever. I just smiled and said ‘I’m fine thank you’. I didn’t know what else to say!
CAPS! GET YA CAPS HERE
🧢
What else can you say ? ! I would have been too stunned to say a word 😆 love this hand soo much
He's from Redruth in Cornwall, so "alright, my 'ansome" would do!
Christie just acts like she just don't give a shit about the 2 🤣🤣🤣
I think I consider this as THE best version of "The Chain" ever. What a great performance.
…my favorite part till this day is Stevie turning her back to the audience and looking over her shoulder and singing at Lindsey…and him glancing back.. and singing at her…unforgettable takes me back to 97.❤
ahhh yes.....chills
@@gms77777that moment is so electric, intense and alluring. I was 13 watching this air on PBS with my dad.. he turned to me and said…they have history and laughed.😂 I had no idea at the time what he was talking about.😅❤
Yes, but they are also watching each other's lips to synchronise their harmonies. As Lindsay also has to concentrate on his guitar, most of that responsibility falls on Stevie.
It's a miracle to find people with whom you can play and make music as a band..it's like a marriage and certainly here for Fleetwood Mac. That marriage lasts and lasts through decades of love&hate, disgust and praise, misunderstandings and mishaps and everything at once. What a band....what a sound..we all took for granted.. somehow..we got used to it. And now they're gone....but we can still listen to the miracle and magic of their music!!!
RUMORs came out 1977 same year my brother died. The album was such a big hit and overplayed and every time I heard songs over the years a bad reminder of that time. But one day I found solace in the songs the words and the singers. Christine McVie, thank you for all you did to give us such amazing timeless music!!
143 always
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Lynsay Buckingham is. He’s playing the song without a pick and sounding clean! Do people realise how hard that is?
Yes is the best
yes its the famous Mark Knopfler style...very difficult to master, the thumb plays the bass notes and the rest the melody...tough as fuck./
@@antoineagagiors4013 It's really common, just not heard so much in classic rock. The masters of this style go back a long way, especially to traditional blues. My own personal modern favourite was Kelly Joe Phelps (also a masterful fingerpicking lap slide player) but he left us recently too young. th-cam.com/video/7aSCeN01BFA/w-d-xo.html
Yeah the way Lyndsay fingerpicks is a completely unique style. Which means that even guitarists who are experienced fingerpickers can't play his songs, without a _HELL_ of a lot of practice because he fingerpicks backwards, in a way. It's like how drummers say that it's incredibly hard to play like Ringo Starr did, and he's so highly respected amongst drummers because of that. It was partly because he played a left handed drum set while being right handed, so everything he played was "backwards". And he just has such an insanely gold sense of rhythm and groove that is very difficult to replicate. Also he used the drums as a songwriter, instead of as a drummer. You can recognise every single Beatles song just by listening to the drums, with everything else muted, because each song had a completely unique drum beat.
Lyndsay Buckingham is the same way but for guitar. The way he played was completely unique, completely his own. And it's very difficult to learn how to fingerpick backwards, like he does, if you've only ever fingerpicked in the traditional styles. You kinda have to throw out everything you've learned already, and start from scratch. And even then it's very difficult, but then also having to _SING_ at the same time is next to impossible for some tracks without a great deal of practice. His live solo version of Big Love is a particularly good example. It's absolutely insane playing.
Buckingham is one of the top 10 guitarists ever in any genre. He has never got the respect or recognition that he really deserves.
under rated guitarist. All his solos are memorable
The personal pain throughout this band created some kick ass music over the years!!!
@chaz5229 DAMN Straight!! THAT'S an understatement, BUT IT was sure Great to see them work IT Out on stage!! ROCK ON Chaz!!
Love the beat fuckin good
@@Christopher-k6i Absolutely Straight Up!! YOU Àre FUCKING Right On, Have a Great New Year's Eve and Day/Night!!!
I listen to Fleetwood Mac daily at 70 years old. Anybody else as cool as we are?
At 66 same here!
60 myself. Love 'em!
I'm 24. I love Fleetwood Mac!
68 and I still go back to Oh Well and Green Manalishi epic
Nope turning 62 on the 18. Still on my Playlist
Lindsey and Stevie are having at each other, Christine just plays the keyboard and doesn't really care, Mick is having fun, and John is just...playing the bass; that's the band for you.
I know you jest, probably.? This concert was way after the drama of all that. They did run into a little bit of drama this year when they kicked Lindsey out of the band.
nashville slim why did they kick lindsey out
@@MolagBalls idk, haven't looked into it 2020 yo
NO LINDSEY NO FLEETWOOD 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I think it's more Stevie than Lindsey now, he's more focused on his guitar. Could also just be another part of the show. That they still have drama today though is freaking incredible
Rip Christine-she was like a soothing voice through all the turmoil
Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar playing is just on another level.
Miss you, Christine. Rest in peace.
Lindsey is self taught on guitar
I highly recommend everyone go listen to their 1982 live version first and then come back here. Their story through the years is absolutely bonkers
PURE magic. Their words, instruments and voices created music that was so powerful ~they channeled heaven and soared above their mere mortal problems.
I guess we are all here wishing we could go back to the late 70’s through the 80’s. I know I wish I could.
My 26 year old daughter who listens to our generations music tells me all the time she wished she could’ve experienced it
It was a special time. The talent and the legacy will live on forever.
Peace my 18yr old says the same. She loved "I Need you tonight" INXS. She is shy but actually danced in Target to it. We dont do that to more current songs😊
My son is 33 he grew up listening to what my parents broke me in on and a mix of my own generational music. So from Elvis The Beatles The Stones The Doors CCR CREAM Hendrix And so many more thru Aerosmith Fleetwood Mac Van Halen Skynnyrd just so many I couldn't name them all all the way thru Guns n Roses and The Grunge from Seattle music scene. And like I said he's 33 now likes 60's thru early to mid 90's stuff better than what garbage gets put out now. Don't get me wrong there are very talented artists today but you mostly have to go independent to find them. Dallas Green/ City and Colour is good and many others.
Not me. I was there. Now I can listen to that plus all the stuff that went before and came after. Plus music from all over the globe. In the 70's I wouild have had a handful of albums and a cheap record player to play them. In the 80's it would more been cassettes. Now I can see what led Zeppelin played at Earls Court, after I had to leave to get the train. and then go watch a band from Algeria. To paraphrase a line from Full Metal Jacket, we are Jolly Green Giants astride an ocean of music. Also, as with any decade there was also a fair amount of rubbish back then as well. Time filters that out. But it was there. What you might be missing is being young again. Nostalgia often filters the memories of that too. I'm happy with now.
I go back and listen to stuff I grew up on (and I'm going to see 10cc in a few weeks time) but there is a lot of talent and superb music out there now, just a click away.
This is more a reply to wanting to go back, not a reflection on the video itself, which was great. I think great music is great music no matter the time or place it's from.
Every live performance I can't get over the differences between Stevie and Lindsey's energies- no matter how long it's been. Her anger is so cold, with her glances at him (aka death stare) and his palpable, kinetic rage- the jumping, the yelling. Makes it even better.
She's the one that left him though. And then he wrote "Go your own way" and made HER sing about how she was "packing up, shacking up" and she's never forgiven him for it, lol.
Emily Rose it gives me chills everytime I watch this performance. I feel the glances and the rage makes my heart skip a beat. God I love Fleetwood Mac!
the art of performance at is best ever
Whent to his restaurant in n mouie Sunday night just us 2 massive big place lol
@ Emily Rose: Better be careful with the judgement on someone's glances, it's perfect a playground for your own preconceptions as long as you do not know the person more intimately in her/his usual gestions or facial expressions. Why not understand Stevie Nick's expression as "what a pity we couldn't do well together"? After all I've heard about their quarrels, my poit is: both Stevie and Lindsey are supersized personalities, just like many great musicians are, but they could have matched up to a real BIG LOVE, if they had not played in the same band. Unfortunately for themselves, but fortunately for the audience of "Rumours".
I know everyone is revisiting Fleetwood Mac's music since the sad passing of Christine, RIP!!! But watching the way Lindsey Buckingham plays guitar is utterly unbelievable every time I see him play!!!!
His hybrid finger-picking style almost reminds me of Mark Knopfler.
I could watch him play all day!
With you there. I am mesmerized by Lindsey's superhuman guitar playing!
@@epistte i thought the exact same thing. Two true master's.
Yeah IKR? Fleetwood Mac wouldn’t be the same without them both 😢(Lindsey is still alive. He got fired 4 years ago after smiling at Stevie while she was accepting the awards)
Its truly heartbreaking we will never get to see these 5 together again. I feel privileged to have seen them in 2014.
I couldn't agree more😢. I had the honor of seeing them in Denver 2914 at Pepsi Center. It was amazing! R.I.P CHRISTINE!💔
I love how Mick is just having the time of his life on the drums 😂
Right!!!!!!!
Bad ass!!!👍👍👍
@@ImmortalIdeas ✊🏻😤
He is on the never going back again live version too
@@haydnmcdonnell2397 seen it!! ✊🏻😤
YESSSSS hahahahaha he looooovin it!!!!!
When Stevie wags her finger at Christine its in response to the news that Christine would be leaving the band imminently (thus breaking the chain). Christine returned to the Mac in 2014. R.I.P dear lady......... you made loving music fun.
Thank you!!
More likely Lyndsy was leaving till Stevie gave up butthole again...
Damn eh
Well at least there will be no more fake “accidents”
@@SawII565 I have no idea what your comment means.
I'll miss her and her legacy will go on and on. Christie was something special.
I'm 57 my older brothers had the album.
I'm still listening!!
I get emotional watching this, because they’re just absolute class. One of those bands who actually sound better performing live than in a studio, because of their pure talent. ❤
Yes, just like Queen. Talent keeps the songs evolving and improving over time. No auto-tune, no backing track, just raw talent. Lindsey is a remarkable guitar player, and he puts this live track on legendary status.
Their album sound is quite great, but some of their songs get such oomph in the live versions. E.g. Big love is nice on album, but the live version is just mindboggling (albeit being a Buckingham solo).
Absolutely
@@scottnokes
Well said
I am also musician
This is brilliant
As you say, Queen
(Band) and improvisation is the best
You nail it for me
The whole band sounds so good. Absolute top of their game. Those drums though. Rarely do you hear drums tuned that nice, and punching that hard. This entire performance has me picking my jaw up off the floor. No matter how many times I watch this, I always want to see it again.
Spot on comment.....your class is showing.....
Mick's drums are plated in real gold, and he stacks his row of toms backwards...totally groundbreaking drummer.
Only Mac could play a solo I could listen to, he has a unique one of a kind sound
They are incredible live too..best show I ever saw in 2015 in Atlanta, GA the last tour of the original members!
@@andreanewland453 Bet it was a great show.
This song is so much deeper than people will ever realize.
Stevie wrote it about Lindsey and made him sing it. She also sings it at him
One of the best live albums of all time. Thank you Fleetwood Mac.
Stevie embodies the saying if looks could kill in this song.
One of the best bands ever.
Rest in Peace Christine McVie.
Who's thst? The female singer of Fleetwood Mac?
God bless you all no matter what be strong 🙏
Listen to the wind blow
@petermiller4953 the woman on the piano. First woman introduced to the band.
So sad
The voice crack at 2:48, pure emotion. Simply irreducible, never got goosebumps this much until now. Amazing.
WHY THIS HAS ONLY 42 MILLION VIEWS? IT DESERVES AT LEAST A BILLION!!!
Don't worry, it'll be collecting views for as long as people can still watch it.
This song is the essence of Christine McVie in Fleetwood Mac after Nicks/Buckingham joined as a duo. She was the lush warmth in her vocals that beautifully completed Lindsey and Stevie’s sharp tones. She also wrote most of their hits and sneakily was the lead singer, a lot, behind the keyboards.. which also ain’t easy. Amazing musician.
Well said
Christine was amazing and penned some absolutely lovely songs...but she did not write "most" of their hits (solo, anyway - the whole band is credited on many of their songs).
Christine wasn't the lead singer. It has always been Stevie.
@@marialagerstrom6753 McVie was in the band singing long before Stevie and Lindsey even joined. Stevie and Lindsey came in and wrote and sang amazing songs no doubt, but McVie is right there with them. She didn't crave the spotlight as much, though. And as a keyboardist, she was busy on stage. McVie's big hits she wrote and sang include Little Lies, Hold me, Over My Head, Say You Love Me, You Make Loving Fun, Everywhere, and Don't Stop. She's no backup singer.
@@marialagerstrom6753 They were all lead singers. Stevie and Lindsey were the front men. Christine was a bit weighed down by playing keyboards. Lindsey sang lead/co-lead most in concert by a significant margin. Usually about 50%. [On the albums Stevie sang lead/co-lead on 25% of songs between 1975-1987. Christine around 33% and Lindsey 50%] Stevie's time as a lead singer grew on stage from 75-97, except for 87 when it decreased again, but she was never #1 in terms of songs sung as lead or co-lead. Even when it was just Lindsey and Stevie from 2003-2013 and it started out 50/50 he sang more because she always dropped songs from the set list and he didn't.
When Stevie looks at him, jesus you can still feel the pull.
I wish she looked at me like that
And he at her
He is better off w / out her ♥️♥️🎸🎸🎸🎸
You mean you can feel her bitterness over the fact that he's moved on, and she's still a single, bitter old hag.
@@melissah.9225 why be so rude?
In my humble opinion they are still one of the greatest groups of my time. I am 67 years old now and I will never, ever grow tired of their music 😊❤
They're one of the greatest bands of ALL time! 😍
65 years old and still loved every bit of fleetwood mac
This was recorded on the day I was born. Didn’t hear this version until hours before my 46th birthday. I dig it.
RIP Christine, your voice will always be iconic
My new girlfriend had this as an album and it was on repeat...I do not regret those times in fact I married the girl in 1979 seems like yesterday ,she is gone now but her music still makes me smile/cry cherish your loved ones, and love the music
Sorry for your loss
Aww . I understand happen 2 me . This song hurts so much xxx

@Blunt33bdx seen them enough to tell you that you are SOO FUCKIN' Right!!! They rocked me every time every way every year I saw them up to now!!! 2023, everything about them was wonderful exciting and different EACH time!! EVEN without Lindsey, they can Rock like hell!! FM is one Hell of a Band!!
Absolutely agree. I picked up my love for them and many other bands that played before I was born (and after) from my parents. I wouldn’t take it back at all. I have a record collection I’m very proud of and would rather buy records then most shopping 🤩
the instrumental in this song is everything i've ever wanted in a song
46 years on and I STILL can't hear this without my soul getting turned inside out.. I want this played at my funeral!
And me xx
I agree
I was thinking more of The Ace of Spades.
...let me know when it is and I'll be there! LOVE this song!
You mean your Celebration of Life 🎉😊
god they each have such unique voices and their harmonies are untouchable, but christine’s voice always stands out to me as being the most pleasing and beautiful to listen to. thank you for sharing your songs and voice with us, christine.
I love how they look at eachother with hate because they actually mean what theyre actually saying to eachother
She did him a favour breaking up his wife does not look like a fat grandmother who is dressed up for a funeral.
What actually happened between them, that resulted in this hate ?
Sorry, I'm not familiar at all with Fleetwood Mac.
@@theprogrammerrolandmc3039 oh shut up for the love of god
@@rockdoublard okay basically it was lindsey being abusive and hurt stevie and they both hurt eachother and then they broke up and not a long time after that lindsey left the fucking band and then stevie left the band and then they reunited with fleetwood mac. It's not basically that much hate. They're now in a good place somehow.
@@Neeeeeeeeeeggg Thanxxxx a bunch ! 😃
Lindsey is like “hold my pick”. I don’t need it. Just a phenomenal guitarist in such a legendary group.
Lindsey looking over in the first verse.."She's staring at me isn't she..oh shyt she is staring at me"
Lindsey should never have been asked to leave a very sad day
and Stevie is looking at him like "sing it to my face! you f*cking coward!"
It actually kinda mirrors the album cover, but in reverse. She's looking right and he's looking straight ahead an almost exact reflection of the cover
Lmao. Pretty much!
@@IriaVintageMany times he did. Coward? She did sleep with Mick. So she earned it! Putz!
All those years later and Stevie's gaze is burning a hole right through his heart!
Absolutely!!
I see it as someone looking in awe at someone who is a master of their craft. Buckingham is a legend
100 %
Oh yeah
Blue Lamp - best Stevie, evah. 80's, *even* heh!
The chain keeps us together. RIP Christine, you beautiful songbird ❤❤❤
Me 61 years young dancing like a mad wild child at 7am on a Milan Italy morning - feeling I’m
In Ibiza 1985 hearing this song at the club Amnesia . Yes THIS IS A CERTIFIED ROCK MASTERPIECE ! Song rewind and had to watch it again -this TIME WITH GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY. I just fell in love again with Lynsay Buckingham all over again💯‼️❤️ is he single? I am super serious 💣💥 my Gosh this performance for all of Fleetwood Mac is phenomenal - really mind blowing 💣💥!!! I could listen to this all day
The band's chemistry is undeniable, with each member bringing their own distinct style to the table. The harmonies between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are particularly magical and have become a trademark of the band's sound. Their discography is full of timeless classics such as "Rumours," "Go Your Own Way," and "The Chain." Fleetwood Mac's live shows are pure talent. They truly are one of the greatest bands of all time. I love them.
What a masterpiece! People love to pit them against one another and they had trouble getting along sometimes, but thank goodness they were able to create this art!
I often wonder if the incredible 'Rumours' album was so good in spite of all the conflicts going on in the band, or was it because of them? I don't pretend to know how an artist's temperament informs their art, but I do know good music when I hear it.
awesome group.
@@westermolad IMO, the conflicts in the band made this the best album they ever produced.
Hello Pamr how are you doing today?
Mick's face during the entire performance was EVERYTHING
He's so in to it that he looks insane...
One of the best live performances of a song, the vocals.....Buckinghams guitar, Fleetwood manic drumming and the BASS
John McVie on bass?
I came here for the memories of Christine McVee and was reminded of how Fleetwood Mac shaped my youth. This was my favorite rock song. I love you Christine. RIP
This is the type of song that it doesn’t sink in how legendary it is when you listen to it for the first time. And the more you listen to it the more you understand that it’s one of the most iconic songs ever.
So right, it's to the core
Hit me yesterday n I read this today! Spot on...
That was exactly my experience. I bought Rumours immediately when it hit the stores. I said "so what" when I first heard The Chain. By the time I saw FM in concert, about 2 months later, you knew it would get to the top 10. Yes, John and Mick are outstanding on this song.
Rumours...for me one of the greatest masterpiece in music..just epic...It will last forever! Thank you Fleetwood Mac for giving me some of the best days of my live ! RIP Christine😔
I'm 52, and my dad introduced me to Fleetwood Mac when I was 15 (Rumours - I remember the album cover so well) . This was the first song of theirs I listened to. Been a fan ever since. I introduced my 12 year old son to Fleetwood Mac last year, and now he knows each and every song from the Rumours album. You can say Fleetwood Mac's music runs in our blood. 😄
I can't believe Christine is gone. In watching this, I'm surprised Mick didn't drop dead first from exhaustion. He's a madman on the drums.
There is no Fleetwood Mac without Buckingham. Even if they have 4/5 members they still don't have their heart and soul and overall the best talent that the band has ever seen which is Buckingham. Truly the most underrated musician of all time.
It's so VERY VERY SAD 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Fleetwood Mac sold millions of records with Lindsay, he is not underrated at all
The best talent the band ever seen was Peter Green and they said that when he left too, that Fleetwood Mac were finished.
The Green God named the band Fleetwood Mac because he knew he would leave, but under much different circumstances. If you've never seen the documentary "Man of the World" and you're a Fleetwood Mac fan - WATCH IT!
And they fired him!
i see so many comments about lindsey’s guitar skills which is so warranted, but his voice is INCREDIBLE
This is one of their masterpieces. Without Lindsey and Christine there's no Fleetwood Mac to my opinion. May she RIP. Farewell your sublime voice.
Agreed
Exactly!!
2 thing my Dad and I could agree on ... Stevie and Christie
The whole thing about them is that they were ALL essential, otherwise it didn't work.
There was in the old blues days.
Is he rated as a lead guitarist?
Sounds good to me.
when he's screaming "run run run" at the end ... this performance is so amazing at so many levels... the drama between him and stevie their musical genius... it's one of the best live musical performances ever
Man o man, does anyone else feel the intensity/electricity between Stevie and Lindsay when she looks at him? And Mick's intensity is off the charts! Man, this song can give me goosebumps. The electricity of everyone. And Christie's look is like, yeah, chains, man I've seen some stuff. But I love them all.
... and I must mention John's excellent bass, especially in this song! I love how the song hits a climax, then it comes down to just the bass and a little drumming, and then it crescendos to another climax. This is genius. The song's intensity takes you on a roller-coaster of emotion that complements the meaning of the song. What a fantastic band!
All I saw was Stevie glaring at him. She was the one who slept with Mick, not him. 😂😂
John McVie is often overlooked in the praise for this live recording of the incredible song. His bass playing anchors the song perfectly, quietly, steadily and rhythmically ... all the passion swirling around his playing kind of overshadows it, but give a listen and appreciate his contribution.
Not sure what's better, Buckingham's guitar or his voice. Mesmerising.
Both.
He was the heart and soul of the band... period

I am so glad I got to see them in 1976 St. Louis MO. Superjam.
My 5years old daughter loves Fleetwood Mac!, we have to show kids what real music is. I was born in the 80s so I just have the records from the best era of music.
RIP Christine my thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. Truly one of the most iconic Rock bands of that came out of the 70s.
Agreed. If the woman is gone. We have her music that she was part of Fleetwood Mac. Amazing band.
The chain. Love it!
The 70s music will never get old....the BEST era in music bar none and these guys had alot to do with it......they truly don't make music like this anymore what a crime....Rumors what an album
One of the simplest and most recognized bass lines ever. Remarkable Genus of John McVie 3:34
Brillliant bass playing by McVie!
This is the timestamp I play on repeat.
I love watching Mic play. He always just seemed to take it as a child just having fun with his bandmates. I have learned from him watching him play and talk in different interviews. I am not suggesting he made no mistakes, but I think he was such a stable force in Fleetwood Mac.
It breaks my heart that FM is effectively over. There is no way anyone could ever replace Christine. RIP Queen! You were so very loved!❤💔❤️💔❤️💔
They said that about AC/DC in 1980.
@@healingenso7923AC/DC were young men. Mick, John, Lindsey and Stevie are in their 70's. Factor in that Lindsey isn't currently part of the group, and John is full of arthritis these days, I reckon its safe to say that the Mac are over.
The way stevie still has that look in her eye when she sings to Lindsey after all these years is unreal.
That's because the stupid cow can't let go. He's moved on and has a happy family life and she's still alone because of her ego. Pathetic.
Whatever, they are all still making a ton of money out of that excellent material, good reason to keep singing it like you mean it.
Louis Brownisky Yes! However Lindsey said the audience responds to them doing that so some of this is playing to the crowd.
It’s so painful to watch.
I’ve never listened to Fleetwood Mac. But I stumbled apon this song, and I have ear buds max volume on. One of the best songs ever created.
The ending and solo got me absolutely fired up and ready to run through a wall. The energy from the band and the passion is unmeasurable.
Listen to "The Dance" in its entirety... If just the first song pumped you.... You're in for a nice treat my friend! The whole album is pure gold
I wish I could rediscover them again
Magical band and music
The first time I heard this song 1977. It was my favorite song of Rumours. And I heard it many times the day. And I still love this song. I love the solo and the tempo
@RIPSYY thats the great thing about music, you can discover it whenever, its always there. Plenty of bands I got into well after they were deemed "fashionable"
You’ve gotta hear more now, their back story and music is incredible ❤
The chain will never be broken. Your music will live on
It's unreal to me that these 2 kept writing those amazing songs from one another, filled with deep meaning from their relationship and still perform it flawlessly after all these years.
Timeless memory RIP Christine your love will live forever ❤️
This tour, in my opinion, is the best they have ever sounded live. I love watching it over and over, just mind blown how great they not only look, but sound.
What tour is it?
The Dance, 1997
No the earlier the better...all that falsetto w Stevie not knowing it would fuck her voice up is the best...100% reaction high as u want but unfortunately that kind of singing voice will fuck up anyone's voice
I too can’t get enough, I watch this over and over again!? LB is AMAZING 😱🤯
Amazing how they can sound when they're not coked up to the hilt. Everyone was clean by this time.
I am 71 years old & only now appreciating Fleetwood Mac. Historically a hard rocker.
September 2024. Still rocking. Love Fleetwood Mac
❤
Lindsey is a guitar God and his vocals are out of this World. What a Band! Legend!
