This is insanely GREAT! i can't tell you how many times I've screamed this in my car..it's all part of my rock and roll fantasy! Love it man, thanks so much for posting this treasure.
The ruffle and roll intro is so wistful. It brings back the days of living in one industrial Massachusetts neighborhood after another, when I was one "of the gypsies out there." And mine, too, was "fast ... too hot to touch." This is a song of growth in love. No matter what the trouble, you keep up trying to communicate, while accepting he won't change, and in that, he is "the long-distance winner." It is truly a song someone still in her 20s can interpret with heartache and loss.
"Tried to win and I lost again..." I, too, had my "Long Distance Winner" years ago, and he tore my heart into little, tiny pieces. Hope you find someone someday who is not so fast and cool to the touch. Good luck, reindeergirl. He's got to be out there somewhere. Keep trying. I gave up long ago.
Saw them in Jacksonville Alabama 1974 at Jax State University. They Announced that night they were joining Fleetwood Mac feb. 1975...The rest is history...
+Joshua Polak Well, I was in Philadelphia then, and the two big FM stations there did not play them, even though they played plenty of semi-obscure artists (Remember "Renaissance" and Ambrosia's FIRST albums?) So, if Philly was not playing them, you KNOW it's the record company's fault! Lousy promo to the max!
Joshua Polak a FWM fan first, my mother played them while pregnant with me. I was born 1985. I loved them growing up but only recently was more curious about their story. Frozen love by Buckingham Nicks has become my new favorite song and that just doesn’t happen. You love a band and artist so much it’s your top 5, but there is something more spectacular you havent heard yet? It’s bc Buckingham Nicks is little known and yes, it surprises me SO MUCH that they could not break into the industry alone as great as they were? Fate just knew we all needed them to be a part of the beauty, Fleetwood Mac is. I am very much enjoying this new treasure chest of songs bc it reminds me of being younger and first listening to Fleetwood Mac, feeling an exciting attraction to their music- loving it. It’s like meeting them all Over again- Buckingham Nicks you two made beautiful music but truth be know- y’all needed some other buffer band mates or prob would have killed each other. The world thanks you for your art!
It's mind boggling to me that this song doesn't get more notoriety. Part of the reason that it fell under the radar is that it's not a Fleetwood Mac song-- more specifically, it's not on the Rumours album. And many Fleet Woodies (and classic rock connoisseurs in general) have such a hard on for Rumours that they think any Stevie/Lindsey songs that aren't on that album are insignificant. Oh well, their loss
I always love hearing the live stuff...I love Stevie and Lindsey!! I think their Buckinham Nicks songs before Fleetwood Mac were even better than the F.Mac stuff(even though that stuff was great too!)...Classic!
Wow...this is so good...thanks for posting this...this is so raw...like maybe recorded on some cassette recorder at a live event...I'd like to extract this and drop it into Logic to remix it...maybe use today's plugins to get a stereo effect or something...and the bass isn't that prominent in it, so maybe play the bass line over the top of it...Stevie's (Stephanie's) vocal range was really good...this was done in a higher key than what they used on the Buckingham Nicks album...I really love both versions. Again, thanks, and hope you and yours are doing great.
This is Stevie's song saying that she feels she is going to lose Lindsey. Too hot to touch, he's too fast he's the winner. Part of why they broke up is that she felt she wasn't on his level, that he was a musical genius, guitar vurtioso, and she was just this singer. I think she's great, but she didn't think she was as good as him. Listen to the lyrics. They were so great together, but pressures and insecurity drove them apart, along with a lot of coke!
Stevie Nicks is a better singer , and she wrote most of the big hits on this album and Fleetwood Mac... I think Lindsey regrets their break up.... Stevie remained single ..... tells you a lot about her.. she did love him more then her words say...
Stevie Nicks made Fleetwood Mac climb to the top, but the band overall is great, she was the songwriter & lead singer, she drove the crowd wild just her presence and singing, they goe CRAZY over her, you can't blame them.
@@1besieged Well, sex usually wins, even against talent like Lindsey’s - and Stevie was brilliant at selling herself on stage. She was always very honest about wanting to be a world star, whereas Lindsey (along with Christine) was just interested in making the best possible music.
@@1besieged She had many lovers & boyfriends over the years She made a decision early on she didn’t want children because she knew she couldn’t raise kids & tour the way she did. She was married once to Kim Anderson. I think she definitely moved on though.
@@snoops5581 Yes I know she was married to her deceased friend Robin's widow, Stevie easily could have afforded a nanny though, she said herself she regrets having the abortions and not having children, but she gave her fans 100% I thank her for that. I know her niece sings a duet w/ her (her brother's daughter). I could only hope Stevie would hire a surrogate and have some kids, she could bring in a live in nanny of course. :D* Just an idea. Freedom of speech & Press USA copyrighted.
There was an OLD concert of the band playing and Stevie belting Rhiannon.Concert, daytime, hardcore singing...Can't find it anywhere....anyone have it?
Here's a fantasy: Imagine if Buckingham Nicks had run across Steve and Cassie Gaines before they joined Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steve wrote some great songs for that band. They both were playing around the south during the 73 - 75 years, BN in Alabama and the Gaines' in Georgia. I wonder what kind of music the talented foursome would've made?
Thanks for posting this! I have two copies of the LP! Now if I could only find a stylus? Stevie is the ultimate poet and Lindsey is so great with that pickin'
@jrmrinaz yes, i think i have seen it on cd online but it cost more than what you payed. sounds like you got a good deal. i think ill search for it tomorrow. if its too expensive then i may have my nephew transfer the music from my album to digital and then burned on a cd. hes good at that stuff.
Right, I know that. But from what I understand from interviews, Ms. Nicks preferred to write by herself. I googled it, and it said she wrote it. The lyrics pretty clearly speak of her relationship with Buckingham, and some nascent issues. But thanks.
She got sole credit on some early things and continues to do so, of course. But much of her solo stuff was written "in a way" (her words) with Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers, who sends her instrumental tracks to match her lyrics to. And she co-wrote most of the In Your Dreams album with Dave Stewart (formerly of the Eurythmics).
Well, she obviously wrote the lyrics, but, as far as composition, i would say this was Lindsay. She probably came up with the key, and an idea of the chords, but, i'm pretty sure Lindsay did most of the "composing" here. :)
are you kidding me? it is called 'belting it' ... can you sing like this and become a multi millionaire w/ one album? NO you cannot. so stop being rude or STevie will blast her beautiful voice in your ear.. freedom of speech USA COPYRIGHTED material.
@cat lady Yeah, you might be right. Maybe flirted with it a few times. Probably not the heavy duty usage uh oh we got a problem it became a bit later. ;)
I saw her and Savoy brown in a HS auditorium 1972, She led the genreration.
Stevie's voice is amazing.
I love this song....wish she still sang it....
I discovered this song recently - fantastic lyrics and done beautifully by these two
Sunflowers and your face fascinate me... love it.
One of my favorite lines ever.
You love only the tallest trees!! :)
the whole song has great lyrics - love it

Can't believe I'm just finding this stuff. Stevie sounds amazing.
gives me the chills~~~~
The best guitarist, Thee best female singer songwriter (beside Melanie), and what a great concert this made out to be.
Melanie?
"Tried to win and I lost again..." I, too, had my "Long Distance Winner" years ago, and he tore my heart into little, tiny pieces. Hope you find someone someday who is not so fast and cool to the touch. Good luck, reindeergirl. He's got to be out there somewhere. Keep trying. I gave up long ago.
Wow! Stevie sounds incredible here!
Buckingham Nicks is excellent music.
Saw them in Jacksonville Alabama 1974 at Jax State University. They Announced that night they were joining Fleetwood Mac feb. 1975...The rest is history...
This album rocks!
This is a much better version than the album version. It has a cleaner sound with one voice rather than the overdubbing.
O Yes, she has been my Goddess every since I first saw her, I read her lyrics, we have soo much in common; my dream is to meet her one day!!
It's totally unreal that Bunkingham/Nicks did not make FM big before Fleetwood/Mac lucked into them.
+Joshua Polak Well, I was in Philadelphia then, and the two big FM stations there did not play them, even though they played plenty of semi-obscure artists (Remember "Renaissance" and Ambrosia's FIRST albums?) So, if Philly was not playing them, you KNOW it's the record company's fault! Lousy promo to the max!
+liselle sloan Strangely , where i live in Southern California, i remember FM radio playing one Buckinham Nicks song. It was "Dont let me down again".
fundies2
Well, SoCal stations were definitely ahead of the curve!

My FAVORITE Stevie song! :-)
it's high up there on my list as well
Sheila T Johnson one of mine also , ever since this came out!!

Great Song:)
Great piece... unadulterated!

Very fascinating!!!
Thank you
amazing ... thanks so much for posting !
I would love to have a Tab in NYC with Stevie Nicks. Then start Thee Nestea Plunge Revival.
Thank you, this is excellent! ☺
@billjannusch Agree totally! If you are a fan, how can you even put the album cover below any other?
thanks May

@fundies2 I DID find this on CD several years ago--look for it on line- I think it was an import and cost me $25 but well worth it
@jrmrinaz yes, i think i have seen it on cd online but it cost more than what you payed. sounds like you got a good deal. i think ill search for it tomorrow. if its too expensive then i may have my nephew transfer the music from my album to digital and then burned on a cd. hes good at that stuff.
@conquestsk u and me both. my copy of this album has only been played probably less than 10 times. they really need to release this on cd.
Roll Tide Roll…..
You keep on, too, GroovyGirl. Let's show those dudes that we, too, can be the winners! ~~smile~~
Wow
OMG May thanks! where did u find this? 35 years to hear my fav B/N track live wow. was this done in 73-74?
Forever Young?
the sound isn't very good but I love this song
Is this a Nicks composition?
This is a song from Stevie and Lindsey's first album together, called Buckingham Nicks. So yes, it is lol.
Right, I know that. But from what I understand from interviews, Ms. Nicks preferred to write by herself. I googled it, and it said she wrote it. The lyrics pretty clearly speak of her relationship with Buckingham, and some nascent issues. But thanks.
+liselle sloan oh, right.. Lol. Yeah Stevie only ever writes by herself.
She got sole credit on some early things and continues to do so, of course. But much of her solo stuff was written "in a way" (her words) with Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers, who sends her instrumental tracks to match her lyrics to.

See why Fleetwood Mac received them?
Love the song, don't like this version, sounds off key? Maybe an old tape...but worth
What did she say at the beginning?
Sunflowers and your face fascinate me :)
Before that.
She said "this is for all the gypsies out there"...in America, I guess "Gypsy" does not have a negative connotation :)
Also, you can say "What did she say at the very beginning" and I would have gotcha the first time :) Or "what did she say before the song started".
Thank you for the answer and the advice:)
Where are Lindsey's vocals? This live version would have been better with him instead of her just screaming off key.
Maybe this song was a bit hard to play and sing at the same time? I don't think they're "not there" as much as he just didn't sing.
And, to be fair, that guitar certainly is not in perfect tune either. Ah, COKE!!! ;)
are you kidding me? it is called 'belting it' ... can you sing like this and become a multi millionaire w/ one album? NO you cannot.
so stop being rude or STevie will blast her beautiful voice in your ear..

Wouldn't say that, he could play Don't let me down again and sing at the same time couldn't he ?
@cat lady Yeah, you might be right. Maybe flirted with it a few times. Probably not the heavy duty usage uh oh we got a problem it became a bit later. ;)
