You should hear it played with a better mix, like Fleetwood Mac (Lyndsey Buckingham) had it done. Just about everything drops out and the reverb and volume on the bass go up. It is massive!
The build up at 3:45 coupled with her dancing at 4:17 give me chills. Not to mention the beautiful runs she’s sings of “running in the shadows”. Superb cover and performance by a young Florence. Beautiful.
@@evilplumbus Hi Nick, i was in a youtube binge and i think it glitched and showed me your 0.01 comment from another video on this video which was weird.
it just so happened i viewed both videos, i guess they were recommended to both of us, so i sort of new what happened. if you dont remember typing 0.01 on any posts then its more weird and i now might as well be superman sucking on an purple pumkin because nothing makes sense anymore
Anytime you drop the beat out of a Ballad - an Angel in Heaven gets their wings… this is why the build after is so epic. It’s Literal magic happening behind the scenes.
I feel like this is every bassist's dream, the most recognizable bass solo in the history of music. That guy must have had a high from playing it in front of such a huge audience.
No one can be Stevie better than Stevie, and no one can be Florence better than Florence. Both women are super talented, and magical in their own way. Glad I found this. Her style reminded me of Stevie. I would love to see them collaborate. 😊
Florence's style is very Stevie Nicks, would like to see these two ladies together. Two beautiful and talented women.....both have white witch feel to me which I love. Florence's energy is magikal.
adam holden perhaps now, in Stevies old age. Florence is pitchy AF and has no sustain, she also has awful technique. Cool voice, great individual style but Nicks in her prime was much more talented. Comparing vocalist of such different sounds is dumb anyhow, they’re both great and unique, and that’s what makes music wonderful.
i'm a zillion years old and have been to several Mac concerts; This gave me goosebumps, thank you for posting Florence's one time performance of the chain.

genuinely brought me to tears how happy she looked just going mad at the guitar and bass cross over. one of my favourite songs ever and she looked how I feel everytime I hear it (which is often I must admit). brilliant.
I really enjoyed F+tM's take on this. The band was tight, the backup singers were awesome & Florence's vocals & twist on the arrangement was beautiful. This was a one off by her own admission & deserves some respect. Guarantee Fleetwood Mac would approve.
The cover was great, it was not identical and they took their own version which i find fitting, they seem to enjoy themselves quite a lot. Also, the camera work is great, i bet a lot of the cameramen know the song, many of the camera changes were on time and on relevant song changes, they are so good they are capturing what we want to see, changes between the faces, the instruments, the hands, the expressions, even the stomping barefeet and the spontaneous dancing.
You know concert footage gets edited, right? Like they film from all angles and then put together something awesome like this so the angles change with the musical timing. ❤️
It was meant as a personal tribute to her heroes. I am not a huge fan of her version but it was never meant to be anything more than an expression of her love of Fleetwood Mac. And for that, it is amazing.
@@xtusvincit5230 huh, interesting. I'm a big Fleetwood Mac fan, and I think this version is an all time banger. Different strokes for different folks I 'spose!
Oh dear, this isnt good. I figure only fans of the band are commenting as i cant see many fleetwood fans thinking this is good. Heard pub bands cover it better.
The passion in her performance is awe-inspiring, and honestly, if I were to hand-pick someone to do a cover of any Fleetwood Mac song where Stevie Nicks is the front vocalist, I would pick Florence + the Machine. Stevie Nicks and Florence Welch are both like forest spirits.
Nice tribute by Flo + company of a great Mac song. Gotta give her kudos for covering this. Fleetwood Mac was the music of my teenage years and 20's, very little today compares to the music of the 60's and 70's. Florence + The Machine are one of the exceptions, so overlooked by awards, but lauded by critics. I'm glad I grew up in the 60's and 70's with some of the best music ever, but glad to see artists in succeeding decades put out great music, and Florence Welch is definitely one of them.
One of the best songs in rock n roll history by one of the best performers in rock n roll history. Heavenly. Thank you so very much for that. Much love.
I love this cover so much, it's nice some of the commenters express dislike to the video and I disagree completely. It doesn't matter if they didn't do the original song justice, they clearly enjoyed performing it and put lots of energy into it and that really gives tribute to the original song
Some people are impossible to please. I don't really even like Florence and the Machine but this is an excellent cover. The talent and energy is there, and you can see the whole band is into it., as is the crowd.
OMG she is so talented love live music how does she jump around and sing so clearly without loosing her breathe on on key far out a pleasure to watch love Florence and the Machine love Fleetwood Mac
This song.... totally encapsulates a pivotal moment in my life & will forever be the anthem of one of my most nearest & dearest departed! #miss you sammy!!
Very interesting cover. She put her soul into. Needless to say, a lot of people probably didn't like her voice, but I think it's unique. So is Stevie Nicks voice. She had an amazing energy on stage, and I think, it was an overall great performance.
Have no clue who Florence is but thank yooooouuuu thank youu for covering this epic song, so the youth of today have a chance to hear it!!! Really great!
Fleetwood mac is my first music love rumours is my first album that I bought as a 12 year old. Florence is the only person who can sing this and not wreck it. Loved her voice from the minute I heard it. So bloody glad I stumbled across this.
That was a tight set. You could tell the band very much enjoyed the performance. It might have gone over the head of some of the crowd but band did a great job. Miss Nick's voice is not easy to cover but wow.
Beautiful as always. It's a shame Flo doesn't want to cover it again. Her technique got even better, I feel like a recent version would be transcendental 😍
To people saying she cannot sing, have you ever listened to her other songs? Especially "No Light, No Light"? Because I've never heard such a powerful voice before. I get it. Some people like the original version of this cover better, and that is okay, that's what we call "tastes", and they differ from one to another. This is a cover, of course it would be different from the original, that is what a cover is about. Liking it or not is up to you, but saying that has horrible singing skills is both disrespectful and false. Please listen to her original songs before making such a quick judgement.
She can definitely sing. Florence is so talented but this is not the right type of song for her. She would have needed to lower the pitch in her voice in the non chorus parts.
So Fleetwood Mac was prolly the favorite band of a sweet girl I met off Bumble a few months ago, followed by Harry Styles and Florence... and then I find out back to back that they both covered The Chain. That's one damn effective way for the universe to remind me of her.
I love the original song and I love this cover. They're both amazing in different ways. Shut up and reevaluate your life if you can't see the true musical beauty of Florence's voice.
How could anyone like this song and dislike this performance? It was from the heart and they did the song justice. If you disliked this video you probably got mega blocks as a child and never legos and still cant let go off that disappointment.
Fleetwood Mac is my fav band-and I give applause to Florence and The Machine. While I do not know a lot of there stuff, I really think this is a nicely done cover. :)
I absolutely love Florence, and I love this song. If only I could have been there to listen to it live. Also to the people who say it's just horrible, how?!?! Yeah they're not Fleetwood Mac, and of course they will never top the original but that's not the intention. They're paying tribute to a band that inspired them. Florence is a unique vocalist, and she brings a very different texture to the song.
Unique texture is one thing. Hitting glaringly wrong notes is a whole 'nother thing, and that's why it's horrible. There's too many crap bands today, and apparently crap fans also, who can't recognize musicians with terrible ears.
I wouldn't say it's terrible. The band nails it, but Florence doesn't have the right phrasing, timbre, or tone to convey Lindsey's vocal delivery. She also misses a ton of notes and sounds flat at times. Florence is a great singer in her own right, but when you measure her versus Lindsey Buckingham or Stevie Nicks, especially when she is singing one of Fleetwood Mac's songs, it's not difficult to understand why people would be turned off of this rendition. I liken this to The Smashing Pumpkins covering Landslide. The voice isn't good enough with certain vocal phrasing or techniques to even come close to delivering the essence of the original song. A couple examples of covers I think are better than the original: Machine Head's "Message In A Bottle," Faith No More's "War Pigs," Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss," The Spinners' "Working My Way Back To You," and Rush's covers of "Crossroads" and "The Seeker."
im 44 and this was before my time btw...lmao tysm for covering one of the greatest songs of all time :) may it live on for more ppl to find before their time ;P
+Ethan Lyles actually The Chain is the only song actually pieced together by all 5 of the Fleetwood Mac members ..it was originally Stevie's lyrics and melody and some of Christine's " keep me there "was a Christine song and the john Mc'vie came out with the amazing bass line that we all know & love in the break of the song .. it's the only song on the whole Rumours album where all 5 members have royalties for the song 😇
I truly believe this song sounds amazing on any cover by any band, never gets old, and i'm sad because i listened it for the first time ever while whatching Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2
I have loved Fleetwood Mac through the ages and I love Flo + the Machine. I can understand why they sang this only once. As someone once sang, nothing compares.
No matter where you hear this piece of music you know exactly what it represents. The last two minutes of this song transends music. Formula 1 came home last year...
Florence is fantastic, she has a beautiful voice but I also love the fact that she does a cover specifically for that gig. All those people are getting something that has never been seen or heard from her and no one else will ever get to see. Thats pretty special!
I'm don't know much of this band, I've listened just a few songs of them and i like em a lot but I love Fleetwood Mac and all i can say it's exquisite cover. I grew to think that when a band cover another band is better to (obviously do the song but also) add your own soul to it and not just play the same thing because otherwise just let the original artist do it. And i think Florence and the machine really captured that, which i like. Awesome job.
Almost everyone who covers this song comes to tears. My god "If you don't love me know, you will never love me again" just says it all ! Florence and the Machine CRUSHED IT !!!! so fucking talented!
Wow, a lot of haters. Here's two things to consider: 1) This band will be the first to admit it doesn't sound as good as the original; 2) Still, it sounds better than 95% of the crap on the radio today. So ask yourself why you're hating.
To me the only thing wrong was the Aquestic guitar wasn't high pitched enough (but that's normal cause fleetwoods was special made for that song) and the bass wasn't high enough and was a little to deep other then that they did fine.
+DaFuq no he said in an interview once that his Aquestic guitar was special made and had its own tune and was able to change how high or low it could go. And he did the same for the song that was actually so posed to be the chain it was called keep me there it was the second chain song the first was called butter cookie but they never made it to the concert just to one album but there both VERY rare to find cause only did one recording. Sense they had the chain made. The song keep me there had the same music to it but it more mellow and had different lyrics. In my opinion it was there best song idk why they didn't just put it out instead of the chain, or put both out.
Wouldn't be a fan but thats a pretty damn good cover of a classic. For those who say not as good as FM, they are not trying to be. They are giving their own rendition of the song and its an excellent effort

You’re right…she’s all her own and she’s always been fabulous! She’s better than most in the current music world.

dread true too shy-shy, hush-hush, eye to eye.
Just open any boosty Collins song.

I love it when a great band covers a song from another great band out of respect and admiration. I used to think that they'd all be bitter rivals.
It's an analogy for the comment. Why are you so hostile? lmao @TheGypsy ThatRemains
Florence and the Machine are 25 yrs younger than the great Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac. No rivalry. Pure admiration and joy.
@TheGypsy ThatRemains 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
...why would you think that? Especially when decades separate them
TheGypsy ThatRemains because of the literal directly related comparison. Cheer up you egg.
No one can be Stevie better than Stevie, and no one can be Florence better than Florence. Both women are super talented, and magical in their own way. Glad I found this. Her style reminded me of Stevie. I would love to see them collaborate. 😊
They go their own way...
GO ON FLORENCE!!!! 1 OF MY FAV TUNES BT FLEETWOOD MAC N HER VOICE😊 PERFECT
That first "WOoooo!" at the start of the song was from a 40-something year-old mom who immediately recognized the song because she grew up with it :)
Of a big f1 fan...only joking I’d know it from the first beat
probably.
40 something? Haha
40? 60 year olds grew up with this song.
This is an incredibly recognisable song, you don't need to be 40+ to know it lol

To cover such an iconic song of their time (Fleetwood Mac) it's absolutely amazing to see such an amazing artist as Florence covering a great song
Such a great cover.. she is sooo talented the band did a wonderful performances!
Fleetwood and the Machine... And it's all the kinds of amazing stuff, gathered together.
To people saying she cannot sing, have you ever listened to her other songs? Especially "No Light, No Light"? Because I've never heard such a powerful voice before.

She isn't in key. No bias necessary
Her voice is not well suited to this song but heard her live at the Eden Project and she is awesome
Legends paying tribute, what makes this the best cover ever is that it’s played once and once only!!
Florence does the best cover of this song ever. I love the way she jumps all over the stage. Great legs too. Bravo!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She’s just so good, so incredibly talented! Amazing, thank you.
they killed this! Florence looks like she’s having so much fun up there
My favorite Fleetwood Mac song ever!

I have loved Fleetwood Mac through the ages and I love Flo + the Machine. I can understand why they sang this only once. As someone once sang, nothing compares.
the amount of shivers i got only from a video is indecorous
Wonderful!!! I'm in love :-) obsessed with Fleetwood Mac original but the talent of Florence is immense xx
No matter where you hear this piece of music you know exactly what it represents. The last two minutes of this song transends music. Formula 1 came home last year...
Te amo Florence ❤ Gracias por hacer un maravilloso cover a esta obra maestra♡♡
I think she sounds beautiful and amazing in this cover. I'm glad she had so much fun singing it!
Well done! And a very Ziggy Stardust like visual as well. Bravo!
What an homage to FWM. Beautifully done!!!!!!!!❤
Florence is fantastic, she has a beautiful voice but I also love the fact that she does a cover specifically for that gig. All those people are getting something that has never been seen or heard from her and no one else will ever get to see. Thats pretty special!
Very valid point rachel. It makes the performance even more special. Having seen fleetwood mac live, flo does this great song great justice.
I'm don't know much of this band, I've listened just a few songs of them and i like em a lot but I love Fleetwood Mac and all i can say it's exquisite cover. I grew to think that when a band cover another band is better to (obviously do the song but also) add your own soul to it and not just play the same thing because otherwise just let the original artist do it. And i think Florence and the machine really captured that, which i like. Awesome job.
@4:23 the guitarist knew they was absolutely smashing this song. Bravo!
Wow. She is just the most stunning talented lady. Thanks so much ❤️❤️
Almost everyone who covers this song comes to tears. My god "If you don't love me know, you will never love me again" just says it all ! Florence and the Machine CRUSHED IT !!!! so fucking talented!
Amazing cover. Done beautifully I must say. The original is the best of course but this was done amazing. Thank you for this cover.
So glad this got recorded
Feels weird not seeing her and her lead screaming the lyrics at each other
And you knew exactly what I meant hehe
@@prplhze2000 And I know you knew I knew what you meant. Lol
I’m a big Fleetwood Mac and Florence fan and I had no idea this existed. I’ve been listening to her for over 10 years!!
Wow, a lot of haters. Here's two things to consider: 1) This band will be the first to admit it doesn't sound as good as the original; 2) Still, it sounds better than 95% of the crap on the radio today. So ask yourself why you're hating.
To me the only thing wrong was the Aquestic guitar wasn't high pitched enough (but that's normal cause fleetwoods was special made for that song) and the bass wasn't high enough and was a little to deep other then that they did fine.
+Norm Kid You're so right,very good cover indeed,this song and The Mac are just epic!!!Hi from France :)
+DaFuq no he said in an interview once that his Aquestic guitar was special made and had its own tune and was able to change how high or low it could go. And he did the same for the song that was actually so posed to be the chain it was called keep me there it was the second chain song the first was called butter cookie but they never made it to the concert just to one album but there both VERY rare to find cause only did one recording. Sense they had the chain made. The song keep me there had the same music to it but it more mellow and had different lyrics. In my opinion it was there best song idk why they didn't just put it out instead of the chain, or put both out.
+DaFuq yeah. Autocorrect the biggest mistake ever to be added to Technology.
i totally agree with you, this is also a live performance, how many artists can do that in 2017 (maria carey).
I had goosebumps the whole time 😍
Love fleetwood Mac this is a good cover and I bet the atmosphere was great well done
Ooooh.
That kick drum is sweet. Perfect, perfect.
I so wish there was a studio version of this! She absolutely killed it in traditional Florence fashion ❤❤
Absolutely incredible !
Bass player & drummer killed it
Holy…Florence covers Stevie. Epic. Magical. Best cover if The Chain I have ever heard.
How many likes you want for this....Amazing !!! Excellent !!! Bravo!!!!
Man, the band was super tight. You can tell they enjoyed that homage to Fleetwood Mac.
Wouldn't be a fan but thats a pretty damn good cover of a classic. For those who say not as good as FM, they are not trying to be. They are giving their own rendition of the song and its an excellent effort
