Right on and it's friggin beautiful. Fleetwood Mack is one of the best bands of all time. But maybe I'm not totally objective because I became a man when I was 15. She was 16 and had a bf before, I was a virgin. And we slow danced on "need your love so bad". She got me rock hard and the rest.. well... hello heaven. :)
How hard it must be to play something so beautiful that it makes you relive a terrible time in your life WITH the person that inspired it whom you still love. Gorgeous song.
As I understand it, he is playing the bass line in 2/4 with his thumb, while playing the melody with his fingers in 3/4 at the same time, all while singing. Mic drop!
@@gsurveil1 To be clear, I am only disparaging the use of an electronic pickup system, and not Lindsay's guitar playing. He is a brilliant player/songwriter. It just makes me sad that the beautiful acoustic guitar sound gets stifled by the electronics.
So many gituar players back in the day weren't all that talented and to be fair i didn't know LB was so talented. Such brightness crisp clean sound. Absolute bonifides of talent
This is a song that gets better with age. When you hear it in your youth it's a great song. Then as time passes it gains relevance. Then the day comes when it's bittersweet message slaps in the face and you suddenly, after all these decades, realize what it means.
I've always liked this song! Now, since Christine's passing I've gained a new appreciation for all of their music. What's the real meaning of 'Never going back again"?
A showcase for Lindsay's playing and vocals with Stevie's generous harmonizing. Ah, the way he looks at her, you'd almost believe it wasn't a performance.
I respect him greatly, but to me, Lindsey, massivey talented as he is, was replaceable. Christine was not. She's was the core of Fleetwood Mac, the sine qua non. It's her passing that means that Fleetwood Mac is truly over -- my favorite group of all time but never to perform again in any true sense, just as Mike Love's Beach Boys are nothing but a cover band. Without Christine, I doubt that any original members will have the slightest interest in resurrecting anything called FM.
@@wolfhard2420 You see, each fan may decide that individually. For you, everyone was replaceable. For other fans that may not be the case. Some consider Lindsey irreplaceable. Some, Stevie. For others, Lindsey AND Stevie. For me, Christine was irreplaceable. I'd have little interest in a Fleetwood Mac concert in which she wasn't present. Even Mick has stated that after her death, Fleetwood Mac is no more -- i.e., I think he considers Christine to be irreplaceable.
probably the best guitarist ever to play, this incredibly hard picking song while singing and then switching the voice to low harmoney when stevie comes in. remarkable.
It's amazing how these two, who have huge individual egos, can meld like this musically. I don't think either did as well solo as they did when they were together. I'm a fan either way, of both of them as well as the rest of the band.
he is absolutely amazing. I overlooked him too long too.. here at what? damn near 70!? he kills it literally kills it and tbh steals the spotlight and deserves it 100%
Brings back my memory of them pre FM playing in Birmingham, AL in the old Auditorium. Birmingham was a great following for them and their album remains a favorite almost 40 years later
Try this one. Different strokes for different folks, but I enjoy it as a solo piece without Stevie's voice mucking it up. If nothing else, it's the definitive version in terms of being emotionally evocative. ruclips.net/video/2nkAJogQioc/видео.html
Fleetwood Mac came with big egos. All talented and gifted musicians and song writers in their own right. Christine and John deserved more. She has a beautiful voice and I preferred her voice to Stevie's (it's the nasal tone that got to me) and John is a great Bass guitarist. However Lindsey was on another planet... his guitar skill alone were so unique and he made it look so effortless. It gave the band a unique sound. The band is not the same without him.
Consider that Fleetwood Mac has never been able to replace Lindsey with one guitarist. The first time he was fired, Rick Vito and Billy Burnette came in, and now it's Mike Campbell and Neil Finn. One other guitarist by himself just cannot play what he can.
Lindsey Buckingham is so talented, so handsome, very masculine yet so graceful & elegant & masterfully perfected in his presentation singing and guitar picking ...
I know that these two people grew up together and had the normal tumultuous relations as we all have had. Yes, we still think of them as together and would prefer the that way but they have moved on as should we all. I guess it's the fact that their voices were meant for each other, they just have the 'it" that makes the chemistry so, so good.
Your giving away the magical secret that makes him write such great music most people never realize it was a musical soap opera But without it no great tunes. Like this right
For all this time (forty- something years) the world has watched this musical and personal relationship play out with it's ups and downs just like our own lives. Only they know the details and everyone else should ' paddle their own canoe' and reflect that we are all going down the same river together. Enjoy the ride.
I found the love of my life when I was 32. I'm 44 now and we're still mad in love with each other. It's a Wednesday night here in Ireland. She's asleep beside me. I've this song on my headphones while I look at my beautiful partner 😍 life's beautiful when you find love 😘 this song is amazing 😍
I watched a video recently of a guitarist describing how this 'picking' song is almost impossible to play. I've loved every track on Rumours ever since it came out in 1977. Watching this live version was amazing.
Well it's incredibly difficult to play. Paul Davids is very good guitarist and even he has a hard time. Buckingham was a musical genius, to write and play a song like this and sing at the same time.
I’m on day two of learning it. I’ve been playing guitar for 40 years and this is definitely one of the hardest songs I’ve learned! I should have it down in a few days though.
Heard them in LA about 10 years after this recording and they were still tight and beautiful. I’ve never appreciated Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar work prior.
I never expected that many years down the road, that another song of theirs would echo so profoundly in my future. I know the subject matter for them is NOT the same as it is for me but the words mean a lot right now. I've lost virtually every thing not once, not twice, but 3 times and I'm NEVER going back again. I've learned. Finally. 🙂🙂
Truly missed? Lindsay moved on and he's in a much better, healthier and happier place. Stevie, OTOH, finds herself having burned through at least a dozen other men too, and now holding on to her bitterness. She throws a hissy and issues an ultimatum to Mick "it's me or him, choose" and he responds by taking the high road and hoping there might be a reunion one day in the future before it's too late. He's a strange and quirky guy, but I'm glad for his sake he finally got away and built a stable life and family and the peace and happiness it's brought him.
Growing up as a child in the early to mid 80s, I had a toy wind up radio that played this instrumental. I had no idea at the time which song or band it was from, but I knew it was exceptional. Many years later I realized what I was listening to all that time ago. Glad I had good taste in music even then 😁
Only just found this..he is one of the greatest musicians ever to walk the planet along with one of the most beautiful female vocalists...no wonder Fleetwood Mac are one of the greatest bands of all time ❤️
Such a great song! I love the guy in the front row at 0:43 playing along with Lindsay on his air guitar! He's clearly spent some time trying to learn this piece.
@@NickNicometi you don't like Lindsay? When he left the band they had to replace him with TWO guitarists. That should tell you something about how the man plays. His style is very unique
ok ok. Im not saying He's the BEST im just saying he's very gifted, very unique in his approach and when he got fired from fleetwood mac they had to hire two guitarists to play what linsay does on one. Im not sure where that places him in the pantheon of guitar legends.
Pure magic, vocally and instrumentally perfect in every respect. Buckingham's guitar work is just sublime , he should be in the top 10 of everyone's favourite guitarists just for that song, let alone anything else .. Simply awesome song ..❤

Nobody plays or sounds exactly like Lindsay. Nobody. Totally unique.
Buckingham's voice and Stevie's guitar playing...
@@apennameandthata2017 Huh?
@@apennameandthata2017 Stevie can't play guitar
That push-pull suffering relationship between those two over their young years has created beautiful songs for us to enjoy.
Absolutely the best version. He wrote this because of her and is singing from his heart....to her.

Well said. Not something I could do.
He doesn't still love her.
Don’t think he still
Loves her like that. I’m sure he has love for her, but is likely not in love with her.
If there were a picture book example of a toxic relationship it would be these two.
What you say is true. However, artists create out of that pain and give us these works that speak what for the rest of us is unspeakable.
This is a seriously difficult piece of guitar work yet LB makes it look so easy. True talent
You ain't kiddin, I've been killing myself trying to get it right.
As I understand it, he is playing the bass line in 2/4 with his thumb, while playing the melody with his fingers in 3/4 at the same time, all while singing. Mic drop!
Nice demo of the technique here ruclips.net/video/TeNyc9pXm1w/видео.html
WELL - It's HIS style ......... easy for HIM.
One of the most underrated guitarist in rock and roll.
Lindsey's picking is truly remarkable and defines the sound of his guitar gently weeping.
his guitar sound is "gently" being slammed through a pickup system and sounds like rubber
Ouch?
@@gsurveil1 To be clear, I am only disparaging the use of an electronic pickup system, and not Lindsay's guitar playing. He is a brilliant player/songwriter. It just makes me sad that the beautiful acoustic guitar sound gets stifled by the electronics.
@@americanbridgecompanyI agree. Taylor pickups are notoriously trash
There is no Fleetwood Mac without Lyndsey Buckingham period.
As a guitarist this is one of the top 5 most difficult songs to pick!
I agree
Actually, it is not. I can. You just have to know how. Just practice Travis-picking, the melody will follow.
@@petermulder7112 Yep. This isn’t a hard example of the style.
Curious about the other 4.
The hardest finger picking songs are the ones that imitate songs
Lindsey is one of those special performers: instrumentalist, vocalist and writer and equally gifted at each.
Heard his “ Rain”. Cried.
And composer and arranger too. He was always the clear and undisputed creative powerhouse in the group.
So true, he is one of the top guitarist that does not get the recognition he deserves.
So many gituar players back in the day weren't all that talented and to be fair i didn't know LB was so talented. Such brightness crisp clean sound. Absolute bonifides of talent
Lindsey Buckingham has a great voice, along with Stevie Nicks, can't go wrong
wouldn't you think there were two guitars playing this song. One plaing the bass and one picking. Amazingly underrated guitarist.
He uses banjo technique like many great fingerpuckers, for example Ry Cooder,
Chet Atkins would be proud.
And in two different tempos at once.
This is a song that gets better with age. When you hear it in your youth it's a great song. Then as time passes it gains relevance. Then the day comes when it's bittersweet message slaps in the face and you suddenly, after all these decades, realize what it means.
ALL of this❤.
Rumours...70's...what a time to be alive!✌️
This year I got 60 and fully agree with you.
I've always liked this song! Now, since Christine's passing I've gained a new appreciation for all of their music. What's the real meaning of 'Never going back again"?
So very very true!
The way he plays that guitar gives me goosebumps absolutely brilliant
These two together have provided much musical magic for us all. We are lucky to have them in our lifetimes. Cheers.
Don't forget the misery they caused for each other.
A showcase for Lindsay's playing and vocals with Stevie's generous harmonizing. Ah, the way he looks at her, you'd almost believe it wasn't a performance.
Lindsey Buckingham is by far the most talented and passionate member of Fleetwood Mac 👍🤠

Was the best they had😥
Christine's a close second though
Such beautiful guitar work. Playing with the fingers gives so much depth.

Stevie's singing the low harmony. Lindsey goes higher.... he's singing the melody.
This guy never ceases to amaze me with his playing such an under appreciated guitarist, truly on of the all time greats
This is pure sweet music. Lindsey and Stevie together. AMAZING
Why do people overlook is vocal ability. He has nearly a 4 octave range, control, pitch and power.
I used to find him usually out of tune, especially when he tries to hit high notes but only yelling. However, this performance left me speechless.
Absolutely underrated vocalist. His range and skills are at par with most divas who can belt a torch song.
he is absolutely amazing. I overlooked him too long too.. here at what? damn near 70!? he kills it literally kills it and tbh steals the spotlight and deserves it 100%

Always enjoyed Mr. Buckingham's playing: style, feel, and technique
Fabulous guitarist and performer...hugely under-rated.
Underrated by whom?
Such a hard composition to play, never mind singing at the same time while harmonizing. Lindsay Buckingham is a national treasure.
That song is finger breaker. brilliant that he can sing while holding those finger positions and have such a steady thumb technique.
Great picking by Buckingham , what a talent !
Love their magic! What an amazing version!
One of the best guitarists
Buckingham is one of the most under rated and recognized guitarists, song writers, and performers.
I have listened to this song on repeat about 20 times only today, and im still not tired.
Its my favorite 2 minute song ever.
As a guitarist I'm struggling to even play this picking pattern, let alone sing to it. So much energy and buildup, this is awesome!
Lindsey and Stevie have know each other since high school - this kind of connection is indelible. they can never escape this.
Remember Buckingham Nicks? Great album, even better cover. Sizzling Hot!
true raw talent to play this classic, pulling notes & picking on this level is magical..
What a musical duo!
