The guitar player wrote this about his relationship with the female singer standing next to him (Stevie Nicks) - they weren’t married so not about divorce but about the demise of their relationship. The whole album that this came off of is fantastic. The bass player and the female playing piano were married and also going through a demise in their relationship and a lot of great music came out of the whole thing. Still amazing that they could wrote songs about each other and such sensitive topics and sing them with each other night after night on the road.
I hear this a lot, but he also wrote go your own way, which took a dig at her. Silver springs might be a better song, but go your own way is probably they’re most known
This version is good, and that's a tribute to how good they were. If you want to hear the original recording, get the CD "Rumours." If you want to hear Mac at their best, get both "Rumors" (1977) and the "Fleetwood Mac" album (1975). Those two records are amazing.
The guitar player is a genius...with his own style and doesn't use a guitar pick....this band has 3 lead singers in it and they have there own unique sound that is ageless!!!
The onstage interaction between Stevie and Lindsey during Silver Springs is more intense. She basically wrote a "You're an asshole for breaking up and you have to sing it every night with me" song. Plus, it's really a great song...arguably her best. I like it better than Landslide and I think Landslide is a great song.
@@MidwesternCornbilly Well, he broke up with her, so I don't really think he gives a hoot what she thinks of him. "Oh wow, you think I'm an ass for dropping you like a lead weight? How shocking." Half the time I think they're both up there hamming it up for the crowd. It could be considered half-schizo to still be playing that game all these years later in public.
Fleetwood Mac are a British/American rock band formed in London in 1967. Their album "Rumours" (1977) has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in history. All the songs on it are great. "Don't Stop", "You Make Loving Fun". "Second Hand News", "Gold Dust Woman", "The Chain" etc. Other songs from other albums are "Over My Head", "Say You Love Me", "Rhiannon", "Landslide", "Tusk", "Think About Me", "Sara", "Hold Me", "Love In Store", "Gypsy", "Oh Diane" etc. Sadly Christine McVie passed away last year.
This is when they are really old. You should check out the original studio cut from the mid-1970s or some live footage from that time. You will be blown away.
Recommend: Another signature song by Fleetwood Mac is Rhiannon. About a Welsh witch written by Stevie Nicks. The song influenced her black lace outfits she wore on stage.😊😊
So happy you are doing Fleetwood Mac. I remember watching this concert when it first came out. I definitely recommend the last two songs in this concert which are Tusk and Dont Stop. I also recommend The Chain as well. Great reaction Biss!! ❤👏👏
I thought that the damned record company stuck Silver Springs on the B side of this song and dropped Silver Springs off the album. It was Lindsey and Mic that did that. So unfair to Stevie. She was furious. And they don't play it in concert until 20 years later. If it was on the album, it would have been my favorite song on it.
Miss Bisscute, I loved your reaction as usual💓💓. Great choice, Fleetwood Mac is an iconic band and a Rock Hall of Fame legend with great musicians and Stevie Nicks singer, the first female two-time member of the Rock Hall of Fame. For future reactions to their songs there are so many suggestions, I recommend the following: The Chain, Big Love, Don't say that you love me, Little lies, Everywhere, Tusk. and you should also react to Stevie Nicks in her solo career with Edge of Seventeen. You will love it.
This song was originally released in 1976-77. This performance was a 20th year reunion ro commemorate the album "Rumours", on which this song was included.
The songs were just them arguing on stage! 🤣 Because most people argue at some point we all got it! 😄 They DID have the guts to sing about it though! 😆
Biss! Fleetwood Mac!!! Yeahhhh! The "breakups" wre between the lead guitarist and blonde lead singer and the blonde keyboard, Christine and the bass player, John McVie (wearing the hat). Keyboardist and bass player were married and lead guitarist and blonde singer had been as couple for many many year. The dark-haired guitarist with the sick guitare licks is Lindsey Buckingham and the blonde singer, dressed all in black with the tambourine, is Stevie Nicks. They are both amazing musical artists in their own right have had and do have amazing solo careers in the own right. Stevie is what one may call an "ICON" if you will and remains very popular even today. With this specific line-up, they are and have been a very popular band since 1975 until around 1987 when they stopped making music all together. This performance from their come-back tour in 1997. As you can see, still very amazing live on stage, playing with passion and love for craft. The drummer, Mick Fleetwod, has been with them since the beginning when the band originally formed in 1967 I believe Yeah, at the time, I"m sure a painful and bitter experience as all breakups are and can be but yeah, by this time, it is just sweet and can tell they call love one another and vibe so well as a whole I could recommend so many songs for them Fleetwood Mac: **RHIANNON** **DREAMS** **DON'T STOP** and **GYPSY** For Stevie, I'd recommend **EDGE OF SEVENTEEN** **LEATHER AND LACE** **TALK TO ME** and **LANDSLIDE** .... You really can't go wrong with any of them! Love the reaction. Keep 'em coming! Cheers!!!
Hi Bisscute!Fleetwood Mac is an awesome band. The story about both couple’s divorcing and rising above their heartache to continue their music is amazing. Their Rumor Album is a lot about their personal turmoil.
They didn't rise above it. Rumors was built on anger and spite. Christine has a song in there about sleeping with another man while still married to her husband. You Make Loving Fun. Think about that for a second. John had to play a song night after night about his wife cheating on him. Yeah. The two couples are all, "We rose above it", in interviews. Mick, the one that wasn't involved in the divorces, said it was a nightmare.
@@billywix7313 And because they had a contract which stipulated the band owed the label another album. It also took them 7 months to record the thing because of all the internal band problems. And they had to bring in an outside sound engineer to mix the master as the band couldn't agree. And and and. People mythologize that album because it came out so well. It was almost a disaster several times over.
The guitar player, Lindsey, wrote this song about Stevie Nicks they were never married though they were a couple for many yrs. Stevie wrote Dreams and Silver Springs about Lindsey. Earlier live performances you can feel the tension between them. Would help to check out the lyrics. 😊
Hi Biss! I'm not a huge Mac fan as I'm more of a hard rock/metal fan, but they were great at pumping out catchy, radio-friendly songs. I was 11 years old when 'Rumours' came out in '77. Rumours was a MASSIVE hit right from the start, everybody in the Western world knew who Fleetwood Mac was, and basically every song on the album was on the radio ALL the time. My favorite Mac song is 'You Make Loving Fun' (Because I like the sentiment 😏) And Mic Fleetwood the drummer looks like that in every live video I've seen. I believe he has a reputation of being a bit of a madman. lol
Biss, you are correct! It is a funny song rhythmically. Lindsay Buckingham said that he tried to show Mick Fleetwood how he wanted him to play it on the drums, but Mick played it his own way and that's the way it wound up. The chemistry between Lindsay and Stevie Nicks is undeniable, but they just finally realized they couldn't work things out. If you ask me, this will always be THE quintessential Fleetwood Mac song.
If you want a sadder FM song, definitely check out the live version of *Silver Springs* from this same concert (The Dance). Stevie Nicks (the female vocalists singing center stage) does the lead vocals and it’s just such a spellbinding and beautiful performance. But other than that, this band has A TON of amazing songs that I hope you get to listen to!
A common Fleetwood Mac suggestion is their live performance of Rhiannon on the Midnight Special. It is spectacular. Also really, really good would be Silver Springs and Landslide both performed live on their tv reunion special The Dance. Dreams and The Chain should also be on your list. You are going to hear a lot about Stevie Nicks.....she is the goddess of rock....a force of nature
Guitar player Lindsey wrote this as a jab at Stevie (one with tambourine). They had lived together for yrs. For a while they were in Houston and I knew Stevie. I met Lindsey, he was always chasing business. When they disappeared I figured they got their slot in Nashville. BUT uh, they landed the job with FM. This was the #1 hit off Rumors. During the creation of it John(Bass) and Christine (keys) divorced. Mick the Drummer also went thru a divorce. Somehow they cranked out one of the biggest albums in history. This concert is a reunion in the mid 90s. They ended up staying together for many yrs since. Lindsey and Stevie's breakup was ugly and they fought in the studio and on stage. The concert video here is called "The Dance". It's worth a watching entirely.
As much as I know you love to react to live performances, and they're great, the studio version really shows off their voices and musical talents. They had so many great songs. I'd love to see you react to Landslide (great live version!) and Rhiannon.
I can't think of a single bad song Fleetwood Mac recorded. The drummer is Mick Fleetwood who is a giant of a man, hence the large drumkit and the bassist is John McVie, hence the name Fleetwood Mac. The keyboardist is Christine McVie who married John. The female vocalist is Stevie Nicks who has one of the most glorious rock voices ever. The lead guitarist is Lindsey Buckingham, who has a most unusual guitar playing style but is an absolute virtuoso. He was in a relationship with Stevie and she joined the band with him (it was a deal breaker) when the previous lead guitarist, Peter Green, left owing to mental health problems. There was rarely a month went by without some kind of friction in the band but on stage you would never know it. They are, for me, one of top 10 bands of all time.
People would not know about stevie nicks if wasn't for lindsey buckingham insisted that she be in fleetwood mac they lived together for 6yrs and they made rumors that was it.
This album always made me wonder how Mick felt during recording. McVies are divorcing, Lindsey and Stevie are splitting up. Mick: Alright! Let's write and record some songs.
Hello Miss Bisscute !!! ( RIP Christine McVie 🌹💔 😭 ) another tremendous Artist lost to the world 🌎 A beautiful light 🕯️ indeed one of my personal favorites is A slow song called ( Song bird ) on 🎹 piano Yet Eva Cassidy covered it on Guitar 🎸 Both are most excellent takes you should hear for yourself !!! As always the like button 🔘 has been Illuminated.😎👍👍🎃💀
Wonderful Band. This Song was on their Signature Album which is an Absolutely Amazing Album as 2 Critical Members of the Bands Relationships were falling apart and is still contentious to this day
actually it is an anger beat...the album rumors mick fleetwood's drumming just takes it to another level and always gave me the spine tingles...even mcvie's bass is fantastically harsh
No Sadness here. Anymore. Stevie Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham are just good friends now and (as with the entire Band) work professionally to make excellent music together. YES, "Amicable". Well said Biss! This concert in 1997 was phenomenal! is a MUST HAVE in your collection! The residing President and First Lady were in attendance. Thanks, Bisscute!!
Rumours was released just before I went off to college. You can't over estimte how big a hit it was and how big a star Stevie, especially, became. The tension created by the breakups gave the writing a special dynamic, more angsty than sad. I think I appreciate the album even more today than I did at the time. Keep up the good work, Biss!
If I remember correctly, this was a reunion concert. Lindsey and Stevie had both left the band for awhile. You can tell from the emotions in this performance, that some time has passed since the breakup.
@jamesevanko7037 Yup. There's no beating the story and raw emotion of Silver Springs, and this particular concert puts it on display quite well. After that, there's such a deep rabbit hole to get into re: Fleetwood Mac and even Stevie Nicks performing her solo material. The Chain is pinnacle stuff (1982 had good performances), Angel during the 1979 tour is such a fun song, Sisters of the Moon is quite witchy, Rhiannon (Midnight Special 1976) is the peak of intense, on and on and on.... Bisscute could have a field day just with Fleetwood Mac (and Stevie Nicks's solo material) alone...
This song is from the second Fleetwood Mac album after Stevie and Lindsey joined the band. Yes, this song and that album in retrospect were very weird. But, for whatever reason, all of the songs on that album was just perfect for that time in American history. Amazing to see the success and quality of music at that time given all of the chaos behind the scenes.
There are at least a dozen songs from Fleetwood Mac that you will love but there are several I think are worthy of attention although they got very little radio play over the years. One is "Hypnotized" and the other is "Mesmerized" - check them out! I think you'll like both of them
Love seeing Stevie just stare at Lindsey right before the 2nd verse, which includes the infamous line about her. "Packin' up, shacking up's all you wanna do".. and she sings right along with him.
Lead guitarist Lyndsey Buckingham wrote this about his relationship with lead singer Stevie Nicks. She then wrote a song in response--"Dreams", it was their only number #1 hit. You should react to that song next.
Crazy-looking guitar --Wooden acoustic/electric, Only seen one other artist use it ( Soul/funk singer Frankie Beverly ) But thier sound is crazy versatile. I recall around this time F.M. were reunited after breaking up to pursue solo projects in the 80's, The joy they show at playing together again is evident in this show/video.
I had a chance to see Lindsey Buckingham in concert a few years back in a small venue. The concert was fantastic, Lindsey is such a great musical talent. R.I.P. to Christine. I wish all members of the band the best of luck.
Congrat Bisscute for choose this great great song For me Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest bands of 70s and 80s And a few greatest hits in these years With the greats girl singers with Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie twoamazing vocalist ever... And drummer Mick Fleetwood great too. For me more greatest songs 1. Dreams 2. Big Love 3.Rihannon 4.Don't stop 5.little lies All these five songs are for choose reaction.videos... For me all five are little himns of80's Great great Band ever for me Thank's a lot Bisscute and enjoy of Greats Fleetwood Mac
The classic and most famous ineup of the group had just reunited at this time in 1997. The relationship breakups happened 20 years earlier. Around 1977 the personal relationship between Lindsey Buckingham (singing) and Stevie Nicks (the one in the middle) had come to an end, and the keyboardist Christine McVie and the bass player John McVie were divorcing at the same time. Drummer Mick Fleetwood's marriage was also ending at the time.
It sounds like you were expecting "The winner takes it all" from ABBA. Another story about a divorced couple remaining in the band. You can feel the pain in the vocals of a group that any other song, is upbit and uplifting.
This song was released in 1977 on the Rumours album - and this performance was in 1997 from "The Dance" live tour - so 20 years to work through the pain. Lindsey (lead guitar) and Stevie (lead vocals) were in a relationship that broke up during the Romours album. Christine (keyboards) and John (base guitar) were married and got divorced. Mick (drums) was also married and ended up divorced shortly after.
I don't usually get too upset about celebrities passing away - after all, we all have to go sometime - but Christine really hit me. FM were one of the first bands I really started to follow. They were the soundtrack to my university days. And seeing her here brings a tear to my eye all over again. Having said that, this is my favourite song ever, I think - it has meaning for me. I don't think this was a particularly good recording - sounded a bit flat to me, maybe the mix was wrong. You really need to hear the studio version: Lyndsey's guitar, Mick Fleetwood's fantastic drumming. On the other hand, with the studio version you don't get to see the looks that Lyndsey and Stevie are giving each other . . . Do 'Isn't It Midnight' next, my favourite Christine song.
Hi Biss. Fleetwood Mac is a great group. Please stick around and check them out. This 1997 concert is a reunion concert/toûr. The band has been around since the 60s. Stevie Nicks & Linsay Buckingham joined band in 75. They were a couple, but never married. But most of the popular songs are about their break up. As is this song. Writen by Lindsey Buckingham to Stevie nicks there huge album, Rumors, 1977, were all songs about their break up, abd the divorce of christine and John Mccvie. Christine piano, keyboards, vocals. John bass guitar. Mick Fleetwood on drums. He had an affaire with Stevie as well. Christie had an affair with a band technician. She wrote a song about it too. You make loving fun. These people are wonderful song writers. Rumors is one of the best sellin albums of all time. So many songs to check out... The Chain, Dreams, gypsy, gold dust woman, landslide, silver springs, dont stop, big love, im so afaid, tusk, Rhiannon (live midnight special 1976). Do most of those songs live. You wont regret it. The show yoy just watched, The Dance is a great one to do it from. Silver springs, landslide, tusk for sure. Silver springs n Landslide will hit you....
Two bands in the same basic time period going through the same things-ish: Fleetwood Mac and ABBA. Two couples in each, two splits in each. As for pop music, there's a tradition of making songs on sad or angry subjects and making it an upbeat song anyway.
The song is not about Christine and John McVie's divorce (which Christine wrote "Don't Stop" about, then she wrote "You Make Loving Fun" about her affair with the band's lighting director) but written by Lindsey Buckingham about the break up of his relationship with Stevie Nicks (he also wrote "Second Hand News" about it). Nicks wrote "Dreams" about the break up The break up was very toxic by all accounts and you can see this in the way that Nicks and Buckingham look at each other during this performance. The band began in 1967, had some line up changes, Christine McVie joined in 1970 (after being in the band Chicken Shack, having one solo album and then leaving the music industry) and Nicks and Buckingham joined in late1974. Buckingham left the band just before a tour in 1987 after an argument, rejoined in 1997 and was fired in 2018 after another argument. Both Nicks and Christine McVie left the band and later rejoined. Fleetwood had a brief affair with Nicks. So, great music (both the original group and the mid 70s onwards version) and interesting band dynamics.
The only "sad song" on Rumours might be Songbird, by Christine (the keyboardist who died ladt year). But even that song reveals a lot of strength. For gloom, you'll have to look elsewhere.
The guitar player wrote this about his relationship with the female singer standing next to him (Stevie Nicks) - they weren’t married so not about divorce but about the demise of their relationship. The whole album that this came off of is fantastic. The bass player and the female playing piano were married and also going through a demise in their relationship and a lot of great music came out of the whole thing. Still amazing that they could wrote songs about each other and such sensitive topics and sing them with each other night after night on the road.
Simply stunning
I hear this a lot, but he also wrote go your own way, which took a dig at her. Silver springs might be a better song, but go your own way is probably they’re most known
It's remarkable how brilliant this band was, given their utterly dysfunctional relationships offstage.
Almost as if the dysfunction was inspirational to them.
LMAO well put 😂😂
They were average at best.
@@goodbyebluesky43 Your opinion and most people will agree you're wrong
@@stevenseul361 You can't speak for most people
This version is good, and that's a tribute to how good they were. If you want to hear the original recording, get the CD "Rumours." If you want to hear Mac at their best, get both "Rumors" (1977) and the "Fleetwood Mac" album (1975). Those two records are amazing.
Far far better than the album version.
Rumours is mostly them all backstabbing each other. It's one of the top 10 albums of all time.
"The drummer is feeling it" :D Yeah, that's Mick Fleetwood himself
Christine was such a legend. What a beautiful voice she had.
Mick Fleetwood is such an animalistic drummer! My fav! There is something that’s almost primal about his style that I just love!
He exactly knows what he is doing. He he does it very well!
The best part about Mick Fleetwood is the huge grin he always has on his face when he's playing. The man really loves his job!
Fleetwood Mac "The Chain"...
R.I.P. Christine McVie 🙏❤️
The guitar player is a genius...with his own style and doesn't use a guitar pick....this band has 3 lead singers in it and they have there own unique sound that is ageless!!!
The Chain is actually the best one for the tension during the live performances
Another break up song and a great live performance.
Oh yes! You can cut it with a knife
Don't forget "Silver Springs." Go NJD!
The onstage interaction between Stevie and Lindsey during Silver Springs is more intense. She basically wrote a "You're an asshole for breaking up and you have to sing it every night with me" song. Plus, it's really a great song...arguably her best. I like it better than Landslide and I think Landslide is a great song.

People would not know about stevie nicks if wasn't for lindsey buckingham insisted that she be in fleetwood mac they lived together for 6yrs and they made rumors that was it.
This album always made me wonder how Mick felt during recording. McVies are divorcing, Lindsey and Stevie are splitting up. Mick: Alright! Let's write and record some songs.
Hello Miss Bisscute !!! ( RIP Christine McVie 🌹💔 😭 ) another tremendous Artist lost to the world 🌎 A beautiful light 🕯️ indeed one of my personal favorites is A slow song called
( Song bird ) on 🎹 piano Yet Eva Cassidy covered it on Guitar 🎸
Both are most excellent takes you should hear for yourself !!!
As always the like button 🔘 has been Illuminated.😎👍👍🎃💀
Wonderful Band. This Song was on their Signature Album which is an Absolutely Amazing Album as 2 Critical Members of the Bands Relationships were falling apart and is still contentious to this day
actually it is an anger beat...the album rumors mick fleetwood's drumming just takes it to another level and always gave me the spine tingles...even mcvie's bass is fantastically harsh
I would happily watch you listen to every Fleetwood Mac song ever.
No Sadness here. Anymore. Stevie Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham are just good friends now and (as with the entire Band) work professionally to make excellent music together. YES, "Amicable". Well said Biss! This concert in 1997 was phenomenal! is a MUST HAVE in your collection! The residing President and First Lady were in attendance. Thanks, Bisscute!!
This is the best road trip song ever!
I love this girl especially when she noticed right away the bass player and the drummer
:) Well Mick Fleetwood (the drummer) and John McVie ( the bass player ) are the only two permanent members of the band. Kinda funny they stand out :)
I love her reaction to this song but especially I love her accent!!
Rumours was released just before I went off to college. You can't over estimte how big a hit it was and how big a star Stevie, especially, became. The tension created by the breakups gave the writing a special dynamic, more angsty than sad. I think I appreciate the album even more today than I did at the time. Keep up the good work, Biss!
If I remember correctly, this was a reunion concert. Lindsey and Stevie had both left the band for awhile. You can tell from the emotions in this performance, that some time has passed since the breakup.
A few decades judging by how much older they look!
Given that the original release of this song was back in the 1970's, "Fleetwood Mac" still sounded great in 1997.
Isso! Cantar perto!! Estar perto! Ainda falar pra todos saber de suas vidas!! #senhores só tem unica vez!!
@Bisscute I HIIIIIIIIIIIGHLY recommend that you also check out the Silver Springs performance from this concert. You wont be disappointed...
If she only did one more, I would say this should be it.
@jamesevanko7037 Yup. There's no beating the story and raw emotion of Silver Springs, and this particular concert puts it on display quite well.
After that, there's such a deep rabbit hole to get into re: Fleetwood Mac and even Stevie Nicks performing her solo material. The Chain is pinnacle stuff (1982 had good performances), Angel during the 1979 tour is such a fun song, Sisters of the Moon is quite witchy, Rhiannon (Midnight Special 1976) is the peak of intense, on and on and on....
Bisscute could have a field day just with Fleetwood Mac (and Stevie Nicks's solo material) alone...
This song is from the second Fleetwood Mac album after Stevie and Lindsey joined the band. Yes, this song and that album in retrospect were very weird. But, for whatever reason, all of the songs on that album was just perfect for that time in American history. Amazing to see the success and quality of music at that time given all of the chaos behind the scenes.
From an albun that is in the top 10 bestselling album of all time, so go girl, you can dig into the Mac :)
In the studio version, the introduction isn't nearly as long.
Fleetwood Mac have many, many great songs.
You must listen to the live version of "Silver Springs" from the same concert. It was so tense, it was great!
Stevie and Lindsey got the devotes. She’s a goddess and he’s a beast in his own right. His song house on the hill is bad ass also
The line You can call it another lonely day, gets me every time
One of my favorite bands there’s a history between Lyndsey and Stevie
There are at least a dozen songs from Fleetwood Mac that you will love but there are several I think are worthy of attention although they got very little radio play over the years. One is "Hypnotized" and the other is "Mesmerized" - check them out! I think you'll like both of them
Love seeing Stevie just stare at Lindsey right before the 2nd verse, which includes the infamous line about her. "Packin' up, shacking up's all you wanna do".. and she sings right along with him.
Lucky to see fleetwood mac in 2015 brilliant Lindsay on guitar 🎸
Lead guitarist Lyndsey Buckingham wrote this about his relationship with lead singer Stevie Nicks. She then wrote a song in response--"Dreams", it was their only number #1 hit. You should react to that song next.
The two Fleetwood Mac songs you MUST react to one day are "The Chain" (live if you want to see and feel the tension), and "Songbird"!!
Ohh great group,great songs, ,like other guy said keep the 70-80's coming 👍
yes ...this was in front of everyone, but they had such a great band they stayed together
For something you hVe probably not seen before, watch the performance of "Tusk" from this The Dance concert. The USC marching band joins them!
This is an angry, aggressive song. That's why it is continual with the beat and the pressure.
This song was done by Lindsey Buckingham and sung by him. His take on what Stevie Nicks meant to him at the time.
Taylor Swift wrote songs about her ex. Stevie Nicks wrote songs about her ex, and made him play guitar on them.
He wrote some pretty harsh songs directed at her as well. Go Your Own Way being one of them.
And Lindsay Buckingham wrote songs about his ex and made Stevie Nicks sing them, LOL.
Here the reference to ‘shacking up’ was saying Stevie was sleeping around. And, he made her sing it. Fierce.
@@geoffsimpkins7650 100%
I mean….they wrote this song about addiction to Heroin…
‘Packin’ up, jackin’ up?, somethin’ you won’t do…’
The Drummer is Mick Fleetwood who put this Iconic Band together
Premium ART
Crazy-looking guitar --Wooden acoustic/electric, Only seen one other artist use it ( Soul/funk singer Frankie Beverly ) But thier sound is crazy versatile. I recall around this time F.M. were reunited after breaking up to pursue solo projects in the 80's, The joy they show at playing together again is evident in this show/video.
Album version is always better if it's 1st time hearing the song.❤
I had a chance to see Lindsey Buckingham in concert a few years back in a small venue. The concert was fantastic, Lindsey is such a great musical talent. R.I.P. to Christine. I wish all members of the band the best of luck.
If you see the video of them playing silver springs live, you can see the emotions in that big time.

Greats Fleetwood Mac
The classic and most famous ineup of the group had just reunited at this time in 1997. The relationship breakups happened 20 years earlier. Around 1977 the personal relationship between Lindsey Buckingham (singing) and Stevie Nicks (the one in the middle) had come to an end, and the keyboardist Christine McVie and the bass player John McVie were divorcing at the same time. Drummer Mick Fleetwood's marriage was also ending at the time.
One of my favourites all time 😎🇧🇻
It sounds like you were expecting "The winner takes it all" from ABBA. Another story about a divorced couple remaining in the band. You can feel the pain in the vocals of a group that any other song, is upbit and uplifting.
Gold Dust Woman, Dreams, The Chain. Keep going Bisscute.
Thanks
Soch a phenomenal band. Love 'em.
The first single record I ever bought was Fleetwood Mac's 'Man of the World' and it's still worth a listen.
This song was released in 1977 on the Rumours album - and this performance was in 1997 from "The Dance" live tour - so 20 years to work through the pain. Lindsey (lead guitar) and Stevie (lead vocals) were in a relationship that broke up during the Romours album. Christine (keyboards) and John (base guitar) were married and got divorced. Mick (drums) was also married and ended up divorced shortly after.
I always always loved 🥰 Fleetwood Mac 😁👌
Que talento de todos!!! Nisso sol!! Stevie Nicks! Que presente pra o planeta! Terra!! Estrelas....que ainda estão aqui!!
Great Band liked them for years.
I don't usually get too upset about celebrities passing away - after all, we all have to go sometime - but Christine really hit me. FM were one of the first bands I really started to follow. They were the soundtrack to my university days. And seeing her here brings a tear to my eye all over again.
Having said that, this is my favourite song ever, I think - it has meaning for me. I don't think this was a particularly good recording - sounded a bit flat to me, maybe the mix was wrong. You really need to hear the studio version: Lyndsey's guitar, Mick Fleetwood's fantastic drumming.
On the other hand, with the studio version you don't get to see the looks that Lyndsey and Stevie are giving each other . . .
Do 'Isn't It Midnight' next, my favourite Christine song.
Hi Biss. Fleetwood Mac is a great group. Please stick around and check them out. This 1997 concert is a reunion concert/toûr. The band has been around since the 60s. Stevie Nicks & Linsay Buckingham joined band in 75. They were a couple, but never married. But most of the popular songs are about their break up. As is this song. Writen by Lindsey Buckingham to Stevie nicks there huge album, Rumors, 1977, were all songs about their break up, abd the divorce of christine and John Mccvie. Christine piano, keyboards, vocals. John bass guitar. Mick Fleetwood on drums. He had an affaire with Stevie as well. Christie had an affair with a band technician. She wrote a song about it too. You make loving fun. These people are wonderful song writers. Rumors is one of the best sellin albums of all time. So many songs to check out... The Chain, Dreams, gypsy, gold dust woman, landslide, silver springs, dont stop, big love, im so afaid, tusk, Rhiannon (live midnight special 1976). Do most of those songs live. You wont regret it. The show yoy just watched, The Dance is a great one to do it from. Silver springs, landslide, tusk for sure. Silver springs n Landslide will hit you....
John and Christine McVee still to this day still play with Fleetwood Mac. You should listen to "Tusk". It's a great fun song.
Rumours is one of the greatest albums ever. It could have been titled “I Got Shit I Want To Say About Each And Every One Of You”
Two bands in the same basic time period going through the same things-ish: Fleetwood Mac and ABBA. Two couples in each, two splits in each.
As for pop music, there's a tradition of making songs on sad or angry subjects and making it an upbeat song anyway.
From the same concert you should listen So afraid, it's just amazing
The song is not about Christine and John McVie's divorce (which Christine wrote "Don't Stop" about, then she wrote "You Make Loving Fun" about her affair with the band's lighting director) but written by Lindsey Buckingham about the break up of his relationship with Stevie Nicks (he also wrote "Second Hand News" about it). Nicks wrote "Dreams" about the break up The break up was very toxic by all accounts and you can see this in the way that Nicks and Buckingham look at each other during this performance. The band began in 1967, had some line up changes, Christine McVie joined in 1970 (after being in the band Chicken Shack, having one solo album and then leaving the music industry) and Nicks and Buckingham joined in late1974. Buckingham left the band just before a tour in 1987 after an argument, rejoined in 1997 and was fired in 2018 after another argument. Both Nicks and Christine McVie left the band and later rejoined. Fleetwood had a brief affair with Nicks. So, great music (both the original group and the mid 70s onwards version) and interesting band dynamics.
The GREAT FLEETWOOD MAC! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Neil Finn opened up for them on this tour and they would frequently bring him out.
The only "sad song" on Rumours might be Songbird, by Christine (the keyboardist who died ladt year). But even that song reveals a lot of strength. For gloom, you'll have to look elsewhere.
This is the best version
Well done
My first concert. Blew my mind.
Of course, they’re much older here.
