He is one of the top 5..maybe even top 3 of all time. Publicity my friend...it's how you use it and cope with it. Musicians will never admit that,big competition,huge. So many great guitarists,Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix,Santana,Clapton,Chuck Berry,Prince... but Lindsay is by far the most talented of them all. When they "fired" him ,two guitarist replaced him Mike Campbell(Tom Petty band) and Neil Finn. They brought two to replace one...I think that says enough. Everything comes back to money,and publicity...That's why Lindsay is last on Rolling Stones 100 Greatest Guitarists,which is pathetic. Every normal and healthy brain who loves music and has above average knowledge of music knows who Lindsey Buckingham is,and everything you'll hear from them is respect for the man. So yeah,I totally agree with you Gerardo,he is THE MOST UNDERRATED GUITARIST OF ALL TIME. Fleetwood Mac ...by far,has the most beautiful and most painful story a band can have...a family torn between love,hatred,drugs and rocknroll.
That has got to be the greatest solo ever recorded. It’s 2023 and still gives me chills. Lindsay is easily in the top 10 guitarists of all time. Has to be.
Gemneye 77 Been a fan of Fleetwood Mac for over 40 years. They absolutely took this song to another level with this performance! Lindsey’s guitar work is fantastic, he’s gotta be in the top ten guitar players in the world!
@Gemneye77, 70" big screen, surround sound and the Live in Boston DVD? That'll work. You can get the DVD on eBay for $25-30 and it's worth every penny.
Not only a great guitarist but singer, composer, producer, and arranger as well. Lindsey was the backbone and brain of Fleetwood Mac. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Simply fkn amazing.
and christine mcvie....the only classically trained musician in the group.....she started playing piano at 4 and is the real thing and had a positive influence on lindsey and the bands compositions
Not to take away from what Lindsey did for the band, but Mick has always been the backbone of Fleetwood Mac. After all, it was him that saw something in Lindsey and asked him to join when Bob Welch left.
Its what made this concert so great. Them two trying to out do eachother. Chrisy mMcvie left after this dance tour. Couldn't put up with them two anylonger. Was 14 years later til she came back.
One of the best guitar solos of all time. What a great band. Beautiful song. I wonder if the people sitting in that audience knew of the greatness they had seen that night. Just spectacular.
Glad I still have The Dance on CD. I like it more than the Rumours album. And in the late 90s I recorded what was probably a rerun of The Dance when it came on VH1. It didn't have this song. This one, Silver Springs, and The Chain are tops for me. But overall, an outstanding performance by the group and backups.
@@ouodo I don't think it's necessarily that people say he's not that great... It's just that most people don't think of him when they think of the world's best guitarists. He's right up there in my list but sadly not everyone else's
The solo...it's like the eye of the hurricane, chaotic yet perfect, escalating constantly when you thought there was nowhere to raise the suspense. Truly exhilarating.
It saddens me this song , especially this version, only has 2.2 million views. One of the greatest, expressive, guitar solos of all time. It's up there with Comfortably Numb, For the Love of God, Still Got The Blues, etc. It's just absolutely incredible how much emotion, pain, and energy is portrayed in this rendition. My opinion of course.
@@Theminenoop I'm right there with you. David and Lindsey are in my top five guitarists and Comfortably Numb is my number one favorite solo. If you haven't seen David Gilmour's In Any Tongue Live at Pompei, check it out and buckle up. Cheers! ruclips.net/video/iOACn7v-_VI/видео.html
Tiger ...agree agree agree..... the guitar break in Floyd's CN is soaring, sublime and majestic and filled with incredible nuance and easily takes the crown. Mac's break here is great, but it cant hang with Gilmore.
A buddy of mine from work played this while he was driving me home the other day, and I was absolutely blown away by it.I've never been that into Fleetwood, but by the end he turned to me, saw the impressed look on my face, and said "Now you know why Fleetwood Mac is my favorite band.
I've always liked the album version but once I saw this when it debuted, I've never been able to listen to the original version again...this surpasses it by so much. Lindsey is amazing.
The album version is pretty feeble compared to any of the live versions. The Fleetwood Mac Live double album version (1978, shock horror before everything was recorded on video) is amazing
***** I Agree completely. But every live version I've found (I recommend the one in the Boxset "25 Years The Chain") is different and amazing. Really a masterpiece.
Thats the magic of music; it makes you FEEL. I beautiful outro solo like this pulls at the heart strings much like...dare I say it...Gilmour on Comfortable Numb. Just close your eyes and let Lindsey's notes move you :-)
The level of emotion Lindsey belts out during this song.. that is years and years of loneliness and frustration all pouring out. . Let's not forget their impeccable drummer Mick Fleetwood!!! Energy unmatched and never will be matched.
Lindsey, one of the best Guitar player in the world and the history, obviously are more technical guitarists, like Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen, etc.., but Lindsey, have a difference in his technique, It's because he makes love to his guitar, and that's why those deep chords appear in all his songs. Excuse my English, I don't speak it very well, I'm from Mexico. Greetings to all of these comments. 😊
This song was a game changer in my life.. I was depressed and it rocked my soul back to life! The guitar playing is beyond amazing..love to watch over and over again 🙂
At the November 7, 2007 West Palm Beach concert, Lindsey, cut his finger hitting one of the snares in Fleetwood's drums. He went on to play the rest of the show as if nothing happened. He was bleeding a lot, this was not a little paper cut. For those of us fortunate enough to be on the first rows we could see blood flying from his hand as he kept strumming the chords. I've seen a shit load of concerts in my 62 years, including several by The Mac, but The Dance, by far, reigns supreme. Crystal clear Nov night, zero humidity, no wind or breeze, and a gloriously comfortable 68° !!WHAT A SHOW!!
@@sebobie he was strumming his guitar, walked over to Mick's at the end of the song when he was fiercely hitting the high hats, cymbals, and snare drum (I believe the song was Go Your Own Way) Lyndsey began to also hit those components with his right hand. He shook his hand as if in pain and that's when I saw the blood dropping from his finger or fingers. They went back stage and came out for the usual encores. He had a bandage on his finger but played on and while doing a windmill that's when I saw the blood flying from his hand. I appreciate that you actually asked a valid question rather than being a smart asshole. I hope I clarified any doubts. Cheers!
Never in my life have I ever gotten chills from a guitar solo. One of the best guitar solos of all time. No one can make a guitar sing like Lindsey Buckingham.
This is so unbelievably good -- the only other guitarist who consistently produces the same effect is Steve Rothery of Marillion. Listen to FEAR - Jumble of days or Neverland.
This version is miles better to the original and to say the live is better than the recording says so much to the artists. These 5 are legends!!! Long live fleetwood Mac
I remember the first time I heard this version of the song, had to pick my jaw up from the floor after hearing the guitar solo. Absolutely superb!! The drumming from Mick is phenomenal as well.
Judging by the sweat pouring down Lindsay's face, he is putting 100% effort into this song. Playing the guitar and singing at the same time, isn't easy, but to do both is pure genius. Surely Lindsay is one of the best of ALL time. Great performance from the whole band too. Fleetwood Mac gets my vote for one of the best bands to go and see live. You won't be disappointed that's for sure. Lindsay Buckingham can play a guitar that's plain to see Electric or Acoustic and no pick either. Go Lindsay GO !! FANTASTIC !! Great song too and well written and combined with great playing......... MAGIC. Surely one of their best live performances of all time.
I never get tired of listening to this song! Lindsay's *screaming* guitar playing and singing, John's *thundering* bass playing, Mick's drumming. Now *that's* rock!
I been alone All the years So many ways to count the tears I never change I never will I'm so afraid the way I feel Days when the rain and the sun are gone Black as night Agony's torn at my heart too long So afraid Slip and I fall and I die. I been alone Always down No one cared to stay around I never change I never will I'm so afraid the way I feel Days when the rain and the sun are gone Black as night Agony's torn at my heart too long So afraid Slip and I fall and I die
A truly awesome and captivating performance and talent on display there. In my view, the whole group put their heart and soul into this particular gig but Mick Fleetwood and Lindsay Buckingham shone brightly and I would have to say they, along with the McVie's and Stevie Nicks gave the show 200 percent. Difficult not to watch over and over again and I am in my mid seventies.
Poor Mick Fleetwood, rolling the thunder for Lyndsey here. It's like wrestling a bear - you don't quit when YOU'RE tired, you quit when the bear gets tired.
What the actual fuck!! I can't say I'm the biggest Mac fan in the world, but I like them. I remember hearing this song from the 1975 FM album and just loved it, but over the years had forgotten all about it until I stumbled on it here. This version completely decimates the '75 original.... and that solo. I have never heard a solo so full of passion and virtuosity, yet tempered enough to keep tension-kinda like riding the edge of a full-blown orgasm. Certainly a candidate for one of the top 10 solos in rock.
Jim Friendofashoe give a listen to the 1982 concert version, also will blow your doors off... the solo is quite different stylistically yet equally a masterwork of virtuosity talent and passion
I don't know why , but I can guess , these youngster don't understand what music is, this is the music that never dies, just like pink floyd , dire strait , led zeppelin, the doors , sinatra , otis redding, nina simone ........
Todd's Backwoods Living! Just lookin back. Lindsey is BY FAR the BEST GUITARIST EVER! RIDICULOUS how he got kicked outta F.M.cuz of what he did to Stevie in 1987! Was OLD NEWS! They replaced him with TWO new guitarists (AGAIN)! I'm a woman.I had a man put his hands on me (ONCE) But to kick the BEST GUITAR player out of a band that he basically MADE? It just KILLS ME! I'll NEVER go to anothet F.M.concert EVER AGAIN! This "Me Too" movement is getting CRAZY, in MY eyes! SORRY!
Νίκος Κόντος -My bad! Thanks! And I thought I knew EVERYTHING about them! Guess I mis-read Mick Fleetwoods book.But isnt it FUNNY how they need to hire TWO new guitarists to replace Lindsey? And they've JUST done it AGAIN! They fire him NOW for putting Stevie's back against a car? NOW? VERY OLD NEWS! This "me too" movement is BORDERING on the RIDICULOUS & I'M A WOMAN!! This is the info I have anyway.
every time I hear the solo near the end it takes me to another world. thank you Lindsey thank you Fleetwood for giving me the chance to show my son what real musicians are
LB and SN’s voices were made 4 each other. And the little bit of harmony she sings in this song adds so much! And Lindsey WOW!! What an awesome guitarist he has become or always has been. He should at least b in the top 10 great guitarists on this planet!!
@Jessica Schantz thank you! Even at the young age I was, I had never seen anything like it and to this day still never have seen such a real performance!
Has been the highlight of every one of the seven FM concerts I’ve seen with Lindsey in the lineup. Every time the solo became longer and more complex. Lindsey is nothing less than a guitar god.
Lindsey was THE creative force behind FM from Rumours to Tango. Christine McVie was amazing as well. This song is so completely different from other FM songs and yet, it is the one that gets me on a regular basis. Isn’t Midnight is second. I cannot understand that FM filling arenas but LB is only seen in medium sized venues. He gave HIS songs to FM so that FM records/CD’s could be recorded. The guy is amazing.
Freakin Amazing! In a league all by himself with the best finger picking style, that has ever graced a set of guitar strings. Even with this out of this world solo, I don’t think we’ve seen everything that Lindsay has to offer. The most underrated guitarist ever to grace a stage. Without music like this to brighten my day, I don’t know what I would do. Thank you Lindsay.
Buckingham shines in this video, as brightly as a guitarist can shine. I've always wanted the song to be 3-5 bpm faster, or even more ... but there's a lot to be said for the tempo restraint here. At least once, I'd love to hear it played less slowly (not fast). It seems a bit overindulgently plodding on Fleetwood's part - although I absolutely LOVE the sound he gets from this kit - the best I've heard (among many great kits - have never seen the kick drum setup he uses here, before or since this performance). Such an iconic song - all the musicians are on point here, I always love McVie's keyboard work, and in years when Nicks didn't sing on this tune in concert - her rendition was uniquely hers and wonderful. Thanks for posting!
Awesome, awesome, awsome. Lindsey Buckingham knows his way round a guitar better than anybody else. I'm an 80s child but thank goodness my parents listened to this kind of music. Awesome ❤
When you hear this and the solo version of Big Love at one end of the spectrum and the beautiful simplistic tones of the guitar accompaniments to Landslide and Warm Ways, you begin to get an idea of how incredibly talented Buckingham was and what a huge range and depth that talent had..
Nice comment but Lindsey is still around and producing amazing music both touring and currently recording a new FM album and he is playing that guitar better than ever!....sorry you just speak of him as something from the past...just a bit touchy when it comes to L.B that's all!..lol
bullyakker He's not just under-rated as a a guitarist either.I can't think of anyone over the last 40 years that has been as successful or as good as a guitarist / musician, singer, songwriter and producer, in combination, as Buckingham.
![Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (Official Music Video) [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kBYHwH1Vb-c/mqdefault.jpg)
Probably, the most underrated guitarist of all time.
My opinion.
I hear comments that he is underrated all the time. He is not. He should just be rated higher, I would say to top 5 of all time.
He’s ace I don’t think he is underrated atol . He’s out there always has been xx
He is one of the top 5..maybe even top 3 of all time. Publicity my friend...it's how you use it and cope with it. Musicians will never admit that,big competition,huge.

Fleetwood Mac ...by far,has the most beautiful and most painful story a band can have...a family torn between love,hatred,drugs and rocknroll.
Yea man he is a killer guitarist and plays with all his heart and soul and to me thats what makes someone great!!!
@@goldsaj That's literally the definition of underrated..
The guitar solo alone is worth the price of admission.
Julius Maloney right
yes!!
Yes!
I wish I had a few more thumbs up to offer.
I saw them earlier this year minus Lindsey, and it would have been awesome if they did this one.
Listened to this more times than I can count. One of the greatest guitar solos in rock history.
That has got to be the greatest solo ever recorded. It’s 2023 and still gives me chills. Lindsay is easily in the top 10 guitarists of all time. Has to be.
Yes, yes he is.
You're not wrong! Even better live😍
Without a doubt he’s one of the best!!!!!
Top 5..most underrated guitar player IMHO
The guitar solo brings tears to my eyes such emotions
You're definitely not the only one.
2020 anyone??? To me the live version of this song is the only version!!!
Gemneye 77 Been a fan of Fleetwood Mac for over 40 years. They absolutely took this song to another level with this performance! Lindsey’s guitar work is fantastic, he’s gotta be in the top ten guitar players in the world!
Too bad Stevie has issues with Lindsey still....a la Don Felder v The Eagles
If you think this version is good then you need to see the performance from live in Boston. Makes this one seem plain average....
@@derekgharris I wish.. seeing Fleetwood Mac is definitely on my bucket list.. just turned 43 last Thursday.. 5.28.. times ticking down.. lol
@Gemneye77, 70" big screen, surround sound and the Live in Boston DVD? That'll work. You can get the DVD on eBay for $25-30 and it's worth every penny.

@@vernonhardapple6983 I'm well aware dude read my comment again, but slowly... 😂
If this doesn’t enter your soul.... nothing will. This performance is pure magic.
I could watch Lindsey play guitar all day long. Pure talent. Terribly underrated. And the way Stevie watches him on stage
Its what made this concert so great. Them two trying to out do eachother. Chrisy mMcvie left after this dance tour. Couldn't put up with them two anylonger. Was 14 years later til she came back.
@@johnmurray9526 Christine had anxiety about flying. She and Lindsey got along…so did she and Stevie. Christine was the glue. She will be missed.
Like him too. Seeing them all live was especially impressive. Christine will be missed.
He's not underrated.
Maybe she had realized that she split from somebody who made her popular without Lindsey she would have a harder time making those millions
One of the best guitar solos of all time. What a great band. Beautiful song. I wonder if the people sitting in that audience knew of the greatness they had seen that night. Just spectacular.
You are right...greatness....i wish i was there...
I wish I was there
Same, I'd give the world to be there that night! Once in a lifetime experience
Leaves me speechless every time. Lindsey was always and still is, in a league of his own.
Breathtaking
Always has, always will be!!!! 💕🎸💕🎸💕
You said it just right
Glad I still have The Dance on CD. I like it more than the Rumours album. And in the late 90s I recorded what was probably a rerun of The Dance when it came on VH1. It didn't have this song. This one, Silver Springs, and The Chain are tops for me. But overall, an outstanding performance by the group and backups.
Can’t beat Mick in my opinion, have the last 9 minutes of a 15 minute intermission aged 71
Unquestionably one of the best bands there has ever been. And Lindsey Buckingham is one of the most underrated guitarists in history
Name on person in the world who has underrated him? Lol.
@@ouodo well they dont talk about him enough and that makes him underrated, because creatively he's top 5 of all time.
ouodo rolling stone magazine putting him at the 100 spot on the 100 greatest guitarists of all time
Who cares what Rolling Stones opinion is Really??
@@ouodo I don't think it's necessarily that people say he's not that great... It's just that most people don't think of him when they think of the world's best guitarists. He's right up there in my list but sadly not everyone else's
This is the best version of I'm so afraid
The solo...it's like the eye of the hurricane, chaotic yet perfect, escalating constantly when you thought there was nowhere to raise the suspense. Truly exhilarating.
True words
Perfect way to explain it. Simply perfect.
Yep , awesome
It saddens me this song , especially this version, only has 2.2 million views. One of the greatest, expressive, guitar solos of all time. It's up there with Comfortably Numb, For the Love of God, Still Got The Blues, etc. It's just absolutely incredible how much emotion, pain, and energy is portrayed in this rendition. My opinion of course.
yeah I agree.and then another'great"one will come your way until you realise these tunes come from the past.
exactly !
Yes, you are right. But more people realize it. Me too. I hear this song at the first time and i bought roumours at the 70th.
Yes agonizing with angst Lindsey let loose anguish in this song, I guess the reason I like depressing tunes is the emotional intensity
Chris : I wholeheartedly endorse your sentiment. This version of that incredible marathon song is the best one. Lindsey Buckingham. Legend. Forever.
RIP, Christine McVie ( 1943-2022 ). She was 79. Fleetwood Mac. Legend. Forever.
Possibly one of the best performances to ever be recorded. It isn’t often you get to see a group of artists bare everything like that.
McVie and that bass. OMG . So melodic . Fleetwood living the dream, Buckingham is perfection. The best live version ever made of this song
A very haunting song!!
This is such an incredible individual performance from Lindsey. The rest of the band really steps back and just lets him go. Chills by the end.
I think this has to be one of if not "the" most amazing and heart wrenching guitar solo's I've ever heard.
Tamara H AMEN!!!
hell yes, i love this live version of this song
So true!
Completely agree. Only other one that comes to my mind would be Comfortably numb in the live version of the pulse concert tour
@@Theminenoop I'm right there with you. David and Lindsey are in my top five guitarists and Comfortably Numb is my number one favorite solo. If you haven't seen David Gilmour's In Any Tongue Live at Pompei, check it out and buckle up. Cheers!

This song is a like a fine wine. Only getting better and better with time.
*Extra-Smooth Fine Wine
That entire ALBUM ages like a fine wine.
Not a fine wine, a legendary one
Never will get old... a masterpiece!
Totally agree love it
He doesn't play the solo, the solo plays him! Genious!
No need to argue...greatest guitar solo ever. If you don't feel anything when listening to this song/solo...there is no hope for humanity.
Cid Sake I say it’s Comfortably Numb - 1995. Fight me 😂
@@raretiger I like this solo but pulse's version of comfortably numb is the best solo ever
Tiger ...agree agree agree..... the guitar break in Floyd's CN is soaring, sublime and majestic and filled with incredible nuance and easily takes the crown. Mac's break here is great, but it cant hang with Gilmore.
Daniel Kokal I agree, but this comes pretty close.
Led Zepplin- No quarter 1973 the song remains the same concert or the pulse comfortably numb solo
One of the greatest guitar solos in the history of rock 🎸
I cannot watch this solo without getting goosebumps!
Goosebumps AND I involuntarily tear up...🤷🏻♂️
Incredible Musician!! How it's supposed to effect You!!
Literally touched my soul!
as i read this comment....goosebumps!! Really!

The greatest performance of any Fleetwood Mac song. Nothing comes close
Most underrated guitarist ever!
Lindsey stole the show here. He was on fire.
I've always liked the album version but once I saw this when it debuted, I've never been able to listen to the original version again...this surpasses it by so much. Lindsey is amazing.

The album version is pretty feeble compared to any of the live versions. The Fleetwood Mac Live double album version (1978, shock horror before everything was recorded on video) is amazing
I AGREE SO MUCH

***** I Agree completely. But every live version I've found (I recommend the one in the Boxset "25 Years The Chain") is different and amazing. Really a masterpiece.
The whole 7:25 played at my father’s funeral 2 month ago. Tears in his eyes hearing this guitar solo. Tears in my eyes hearing it now. Wonderful solo
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Thats the magic of music; it makes you FEEL. I beautiful outro solo like this pulls at the heart strings much like...dare I say it...Gilmour on Comfortable Numb. Just close your eyes and let Lindsey's notes move you :-)
I'm convinced that your Father will love this very cool song.
So sorry for you loss.
Anne. I recall when this song came out in 1976 +/- I too would have it played at my funeral. It has been the story of my life. Best regards.
If one can't feel
The Song
The Feeling he plays with
Heartless
Great,Great Song!!!!
Playing this song today for Christine. Rest in piece.
The level of emotion Lindsey belts out during this song.. that is years and years of loneliness and frustration all pouring out. . Let's not forget their impeccable drummer Mick Fleetwood!!! Energy unmatched and never will be matched.

It is amazing how music can heal, or bring memories long forgotten
Its amazing how much power hearing the right song at the right time can have

Didn’t know mick’s snare drums were that sharp 😂
@@MrDash03 he was hitting them hard with his hand, that's how. You're either a smart ass, or as sharp as a lb of wet leather. 😂

Who else could watch an entire concert of just Lyndsey and Mick?
Goddamn, Lindsey is the perfect musician: voice, guitar, looks, style. It's a very rare combination.
Francis Rossi comes a close.
I come back to watch this every year. Undoubtedly, one of the best guitar solos of all time. #2022
Don't forget your 2023
Every few months... It's so hypnotising.
Still the best guitar solo of all time. #2023
Lindsey is an absolutely amazing guitar virtuoso! No comparison. His own style!!
This song brought me out of a deep dark depression. Don’t ask, one of the greatest guitarists of all time!
The way the solo stair steps to the crescendo.
Full body chills. Phenomenal.
Never in my life have I ever gotten chills from a guitar solo. One of the best guitar solos of all time. No one can make a guitar sing like Lindsey Buckingham.
Listen to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".
Colton Hubbard this and shine on are absolute perfection.
Mary Theresa Burns and comfortably numb
This is so unbelievably good -- the only other guitarist who consistently produces the same effect is Steve Rothery of Marillion. Listen to FEAR - Jumble of days or Neverland.
Erra and August Burns Red 👌
This version is miles better to the original and to say the live is better than the recording says so much to the artists. These 5 are legends!!! Long live fleetwood Mac
mick hitting those drums crazy. having the best time of his life.
Abhinav Das Shrestha yep, the whole riser is shaking LOL
Guitar sounds awesome but I'm a drums guy and this is one of the best drumming songs I've heard. Wow.
The greatest live performance of all time
I remember the first time I heard this version of the song, had to pick my jaw up from the floor after hearing the guitar solo. Absolutely superb!! The drumming from Mick is phenomenal as well.
I LOVE this song; it speaks to our traumatized humanity.
Lindsay is such an underrated musician. You rarely hear something as good as his fantastic solo in the end of the video, great stuff, thank you.
cryohellinc his voice is amazing too
+cryohellinc Lindseys strong point isn't that he's perfect. No, part of his charm is that he isn't perfect.
But there is a ton of sweat in every note.
FrustratedNameSearch he isn't perfect? Maybe as an Archangel isn't perfect next to God, but for us mortals, he's perfect.
i agree!
I couldn't have said it better!
This is one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard.
Wanna feel old? It's now been longer since "The Dance" reunion, than it was from the original 1975 recording to "The Dance."

Great song too and well written and combined with great playing......... MAGIC. Surely one of their best live performances of all time.
Incredible ❤🎶
This right here is the best version of this song!!!❤
Mick does a fantastic job in this song along with Lindsey.
I never get tired of listening to this song! Lindsay's *screaming* guitar playing and singing, John's *thundering* bass playing, Mick's drumming. Now *that's* rock!
Agreed
Also, Mick Fleetwood is an under-rated drummer. Period!!
agreed!!!!!!!! hes afckinmazing!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely majestic in this - you can sense his joy at being right there for Lindsey's absolute show-stopper. He gave everything.
This is the last song my son heard before he died January 21st 2022 Daniel Cherry Jr gone
Sorry for your loss may God heal your heart 😢
Lindsey's a freaking beast this man is so underrated its ridiculous
Unfortunately Fleetwood Mac will never be the same without his talent
The drummer is a beast
I think Mick Fleetwood would take that as a compliment lol He is truly a legend.
You mean the guy who put the Fleetwood in Fleetwood Mac?
Christine and the haunting keyboards, RIP!!!
My thoughts exactly 💯
I been alone
All the years
So many ways to count the tears
I never change
I never will
I'm so afraid the way I feel
Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agony's torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die.
I been alone
Always down
No one cared to stay around
I never change
I never will
I'm so afraid the way I feel
Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agony's torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die
Thank you for help with the lyrics. On my own, I'd just known one phrase...
Thank u 4 putting the words.awesome!
I always thought it was, To live and not fall in the dark, instead of slip and I fall and I die....
@@Crazyjn
Oh! Your option was so much more optimistic! I'll try to.. hear it your way.. 😊
The solo in this tune Is absolutely amazing.Love it!
A truly awesome and captivating performance and talent on display there. In my view, the whole group put their heart and soul into this particular gig but Mick Fleetwood and Lindsay Buckingham shone brightly and I would have to say they, along with the McVie's and Stevie Nicks gave the show 200 percent. Difficult not to watch over and over again and I am in my mid seventies.
This concert was really something special.
Certainly agree with you, and i am in mid seventies as well
I am 27, and this is my favorite performance of the song. My Mom used to play the CD of this concert in the car when my sister and I were kids.
And me @ 81❗🔥
Lyrics that are gut wrenchingly honest and brilliant musicianship. Overwhelmingly beautiful.
Rest in Love, Christie Mcvie..🙏🏿❤
Poor Mick Fleetwood, rolling the thunder for Lyndsey here. It's like wrestling a bear - you don't quit when YOU'RE tired, you quit when the bear gets tired.
What the actual fuck!! I can't say I'm the biggest Mac fan in the world, but I like them. I remember hearing this song from the 1975 FM album and just loved it, but over the years had forgotten all about it until I stumbled on it here. This version completely decimates the '75 original.... and that solo. I have never heard a solo so full of passion and virtuosity, yet tempered enough to keep tension-kinda like riding the edge of a full-blown orgasm. Certainly a candidate for one of the top 10 solos in rock.
Jim Friendofashoe give a listen to the 1982 concert version, also will blow your doors off... the solo is quite different stylistically yet equally a masterwork of virtuosity talent and passion
full blown!
Aural orgasm !!
@@snowblind3838 "comfortably numb" and "on the turning away" can be on that top too as other pink floyd songs
This is the best live performance, if you can lead me to another that you think is better please leave a link. Cheers.
How does this not have millions of views!?
Because a million people haven’t watched it.
Rad stupid kids watches Travis Scott instead of this
2 million and counting
I don't know why , but I can guess , these youngster don't understand what music is, this is the music that never dies, just like pink floyd , dire strait , led zeppelin, the doors , sinatra , otis redding, nina simone ........
Heck yeah! Such an underrated guitarist! One of the best in my opinion!
he is good.
Mine too.
RUclips does not compare to his live shows,But this is great too
Todd's Backwoods Living! Just lookin back. Lindsey is BY FAR the BEST GUITARIST EVER! RIDICULOUS how he got kicked outta F.M.cuz of what he did to Stevie in 1987! Was OLD NEWS! They replaced him with TWO new guitarists (AGAIN)! I'm a woman.I had a man put his hands on me (ONCE) But to kick the BEST GUITAR player out of a band that he basically MADE? It just KILLS ME! I'll NEVER go to anothet F.M.concert EVER AGAIN! This "Me Too" movement is getting CRAZY, in MY eyes! SORRY!
Νίκος Κόντος -My bad! Thanks! And I thought I knew EVERYTHING about them! Guess I mis-read Mick Fleetwoods book.But isnt it FUNNY how they need to hire TWO new guitarists to replace Lindsey? And they've JUST done it AGAIN! They fire him NOW for putting Stevie's back against a car? NOW? VERY OLD NEWS! This "me too" movement is BORDERING on the RIDICULOUS & I'M A WOMAN!! This is the info I have anyway.
Lindsey Buckingham is an American musician, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, what a great guitarist he is, wow
every time I hear the solo near the end it takes me to another world. thank you Lindsey thank you Fleetwood for giving me the chance to show my son what real musicians are
i literally cannot go back to the original version of this song after hearing this! perfection 👌🏻🤘🏻
Beautiful solo!!
No way this song was written in the '70s! Such a fresh sound! I' m a metalhead but this blew my mind...!
LB and SN’s voices were made 4 each other. And the little bit of harmony she sings in this song adds so much! And Lindsey WOW!! What an awesome guitarist he has become or always has been. He should at least b in the top 10 great guitarists on this planet!!
My very first concert in 1997! Absolutely loved it!! Was hooked on this song ever since!
WOW what a first show indeed! You LUCKY human....
@Jessica Schantz thank you! Even at the young age I was, I had never seen anything like it and to this day still never have seen such a real performance!
First concert wow nothing will ever be as good I'm afraid after this..
THIS song was the reason why I learned to play guitar. Incredible performance. Kicks ass - blows minds.
This and Big Love from The Dance are two of my favorite vocal performances of all time.
I've been alone, always down
No one cared to stay around
I never change, I never will
I'm so afraid the way i feel!!
So underrated spactucular musician
Has been the highlight of every one of the seven FM concerts I’ve seen with Lindsey in the lineup. Every time the solo became longer and more complex. Lindsey is nothing less than a guitar god.
Lindsey was THE creative force behind FM from Rumours to Tango. Christine McVie was amazing as well. This song is so completely different from other FM songs and yet, it is the one that gets me on a regular basis. Isn’t Midnight is second. I cannot understand that FM filling arenas but LB is only seen in medium sized venues. He gave HIS songs to FM so that FM records/CD’s could be recorded. The guy is amazing.
Mick Fleetwood's seriously underrated...
Your so right!
Everyone overlooks him dude. He rips 🤘
I’m pretty sure they’re in the rock n roll HOF
Funny you say that. Asking my father as a kid who was best.... always Mick
Buckingham even more underrated tho
Epic. Truly epic. One of my fave FM tracks, Lindsay's wailing guitar and the rhythm of drums and JMcV's pulsing bass is wonderful.
Freakin Amazing! In a league all by himself with the best finger picking style, that has ever graced a set of guitar strings. Even with this out of this world solo, I don’t think we’ve seen everything that Lindsay has to offer. The most underrated guitarist ever to grace a stage. Without music like this to brighten my day, I don’t know what I would do. Thank you Lindsay.
this is what rock and roll is all about!
3:48 starts one of the best guitar solos every composed! Over 3 minutes of amazing!
ohh man,the feeling when you hear this beauty for the first time. I JUST DID 😁
Buckingham shines in this video, as brightly as a guitarist can shine. I've always wanted the song to be 3-5 bpm faster, or even more ... but there's a lot to be said for the tempo restraint here. At least once, I'd love to hear it played less slowly (not fast). It seems a bit overindulgently plodding on Fleetwood's part - although I absolutely LOVE the sound he gets from this kit - the best I've heard (among many great kits - have never seen the kick drum setup he uses here, before or since this performance).
Such an iconic song - all the musicians are on point here, I always love McVie's keyboard work, and in years when Nicks didn't sing on this tune in concert - her rendition was uniquely hers and wonderful.
Thanks for posting!
Check out the 1976 Rosebud Film version, it's amazing and I think at a different tempo.
Awesome, awesome, awsome. Lindsey Buckingham knows his way round a guitar better than anybody else. I'm an 80s child but thank goodness my parents listened to this kind of music. Awesome ❤
Lindsey Buckingham is one of the best guitar players I've ever seen!
Goosebumps and tears....every time. The guitar just directly connects with my nerve endings....
The power of the drums and guitar..! Goosebumps over and over again!! Such emotions!🤟🔥
When you hear this and the solo version of Big Love at one end of the spectrum and the beautiful simplistic tones of the guitar accompaniments to Landslide and Warm Ways, you begin to get an idea of how incredibly talented Buckingham was and what a huge range and depth that talent had..
Nice comment but Lindsey is still around and producing amazing music both touring and currently recording a new FM album and he is playing that guitar better than ever!....sorry you just speak of him as something from the past...just a bit touchy when it comes to L.B that's all!..lol
195Bucks
Yes of course - I was just keeping my reference in the context of the stuff he did with FM - hence the past tense.
Buckingham is a legend though way over looked!
bullyakker
He's not just under-rated as a a guitarist either.I can't think of anyone over the last 40 years that has been as successful or as good as a guitarist / musician, singer, songwriter and producer, in combination, as Buckingham.
bullyakker I couldn't agree more, I say that all the time!
1000% the best version of this song...ever.
I'm 30 and he's by far my favorite guitarist
