Saw them centuries ago on the 'Behind the mask' tour. After warming up from Gary Moore, we were told to go home because someone in the band broke his thumb. We were reinvited a few months later, alltough withouth Gary, so they had to fill an entire evening with their own music. Best concert of my life.
Exactly! Christine is the heart and soul of Mac. And somebody tune that guitar!!! I hear an acoustic rhythm guitar in there too, probably to cover for the missing keyboards from Christine's absence.
Considering they are playing live on a morning show in the freezing cold, this actually sounds really good. I dunno if anyone else has ever tried to play guitar or sing when it's cold out and in the AM, but it's pretty hard
They do no longer need Chrissy...an amazing talent, yes, but not required when obvious genius is obvious. Thanx J ackie...will get that surprise to you from you know who as soon as I can get 1 hr. to myself. 'He' has not forgotten you.
Completely agree! I live in the shetland islands, north of scotland and i've played one or two gigs outside in the cold and its not an easy thing to do, especially whilst trying to play a guitar solo!
Thanks Jackie! That was a great one. His guitar was a bit whacked by the cold, but he managed to play anyway.. By the way, this is my favorite song too... Except for a couple of Pink Floyd, and Sammy Haggar tunes... But it's real close!
Boy, it must have been a task to perform early in the morning outside in the cold of 32 degree....but they did a great job with all of that. There is another video that they are sweating tons as it is so hot in the room.....what conditions these professional performers endure!
Wow, you were VERY lucky to have been there!! Yes, I do have Rhiannon also, but I wasn't planning on posting it since it is not a Lindsey song. I'll see if my one friend will, though. (:
thats what music is all about having fun. you see all of the old '70,'80 bands still on tour because there having fun its not a job to them its a way to have fun.
It sounds like ~ How Can I to me. He starts out singing ~ Open, but then catched it and corrects it quickly. At any rate, SO WHAT?! It's still a GREAT performance!! I agree ~ GREAT guitar solo!!
it didn't that's why it sounded off. I was there that day. It sounded better in person because of the acoustics in that small area w/bldgs. When I got home that was the first time I heard out of tune. In person it was super loud and it sounded great.
At :55, he sings "Open up..... When you won't take it from me?" It should be "If I could, baby I'd give you my world. How can I? When you won't take it from me?" Oh well, at least he rips his gnarly guitar solo.
I was at this Today Show concert and it was below 20 deg at 5 am. It moved all the way up above 30 deg by the time they played this. hey do you happen to have Rhiannon from this concert?
yeah it does seem to be a bit outta tune..and this performance is probably before Lindsey realized that he couldnt hit the high notes anymore in Go your own way and started singing the alternate way like he does in the Boston dvd. i do give him credit for playing his guitar in 30 degree weather. his hands must have been freezing!
this is an awesome song! it seems like they were off alittle bit... too slow??? probably cuz of the weather... hahah or... it's because she lost her tambourine :/
Of course i also love stevie and lindsy and i really dont want to see them leave the band!. Those two have got just sparks between them in concerts!!. but just listen to some concert songs where stevie is taken christine's part like say that you love me!!. Like those songs your going to mis christine!
I do like Christine, but I don't miss her!! (Sorry.) I'm as happy as a clam that it's just Lindsey & Stevie (my two faves) up front. Lindsey is the one who is mainly responsible for F.Mac's huge success, but that's just my opinion. (:
I guess to each his/her own. I do like Chris, but I don't miss her. (Sorry.) As long as Lindsey (along with Stevie ) is in the band, I'm a very happy camper, but that's just my opinion. Everyone feels differently about it. (:
Sorry, but I don't think so. I never thought Mick was cute, but that's just my opinion. Everybody likes different things. That's what makes the world go round . (lol) (:
people sound like they are producers or something the way they like to talk about sound and the enginerring science behind chords in cold weathers and the physics behind vocal strains against wind and penis sizes in icey weather... who the F%^* give a rat S%&£ i would loved to have been there for that.woulda kicked arse even if it did sound slightly out it would have still been a nice experience to have witnessed. and to bo honest.i woulda propbably been singing along at the top of my voice
By Fleetwood Mac standards this is not a great performance. Cold weather and the absence of Christine McVie no doubt contribute to that, but hell, even on an off day, these guys sound great. And has anyone ever seen Mick Fleetwood drumming when he didn't look like he was having the time of his life? The guy is a force of nature.
Performing in 32 degree weather is really tough!...fingers have a hard time moving. They've still got it!
Lindsey is unbelievable. It's amazing how someone who finger picks like Lindsey can do so outdoors in the shivering cold.

Wow.... What a sppog and all the emotions running through at that time. great!!!

This is absolutely the best break-up song -- EVER!
I would hate to play guitar outdoors in 32 degree weather. Lindsey is a trooper!!
Kudos for performing in cold weather! Outstanding :)
I agree with you. Thanks for your comment and for keeping up with my videos!! I GREATLY appreciate it!! Also, thanks so much for your kindness!! (:
hey man thats when love was LOVE. Fantasic performance from a fantastic band and thanks for the post very much .
Considering they are playing live on a morning show in the freezing cold, this actually sounds really good. I dunno if anyone else has ever tried to play guitar or sing when it's cold out and in the AM, but it's pretty hard
Lindsey = a guitar God
thanks for posting this!
Taxis rolling through in the background, no place like NY, will miss it for ever
They do no longer need Chrissy...an amazing talent, yes, but not required when obvious genius is obvious.
Thanx J ackie...will get that surprise to you from you know who as soon as I can get 1 hr. to myself.
'He' has not forgotten you.
This is amazing!!! Stevie looks freezing though... : )

Well said (gittahfiend)!! Thanks for commenting and for viewing my video!! (:
VERY well said!! Thanks so much for your comment and for viewing my video!! (:

now THAT i agree with!! :] no Lindsey = no Mac
god bless NYC from your real pals in the UK and Ireland!. go our way together UK, Ireland and USA!
It must have been cold, its hard to play if your hands a freezing
he plays guitar the weirdest way but he ROX at it.... its insane
thats what music is all about having fun. you see all of the old '70,'80 bands still on tour because there having fun its not a job to them its a way to have fun.
That so cool that you were there!! Thanks for your comment!! (:
It sounds like ~ How Can I to me. He starts out singing ~ Open, but then catched it and corrects it quickly. At any rate, SO WHAT?! It's still a GREAT performance!! I agree ~ GREAT guitar solo!!
15 october
IN THE NETHERLANDSSSSS
i lovee them
it didn't that's why it sounded off. I was there that day. It sounded better in person because of the acoustics in that small area w/bldgs.
When I got home that was the first time I heard out of tune. In person it was super loud and it sounded great.
Excellent Song
His vocals are spot on, considering the temperature. Shame about the out of tune string :(
Timeless,enough said.
At :55, he sings "Open up..... When you won't take it from me?" It should be "If I could, baby I'd give you my world. How can I? When you won't take it from me?" Oh well, at least he rips his gnarly guitar solo.
i feel the same even tho i also miss Christine somewhat. at least there is still Stevie and Lindsey.
(DFunk1977) ~ VERY well said. Thanks a bunch for your great comment!! (:
REQUEST: If somebody taped this same concert for the song Rhiannon, PLEASE post it.
@bellefairchild ---It's Lindsey's song! He wrote it! If he feels like changing some lyrics around,then so be it!
VERY true. Thanks for your great comment!! (:
yes please do ask them too. I'll be able to see me and my niece close up right on camera for during that song.
Thanks!! (:
True, it just sounds more prominent without the keys, or maybe it is just the mix. I still miss Christine.
I agree. This is an AWESOME song!! Thanks for commenting!! (:
VERY true. Thanks for commenting!! (:
OMG it looks icy there....I'd be playing triple time to get off stage...AWSOME COMMITMENT from FM
I agree. Thanks for your comment!! (:
It didn't.....
At least not quite.
But it was rockin'
I want to know how his fingers were still able to function?!!
I was at this Today Show concert and it was below 20 deg at 5 am. It moved all the way up above 30 deg by the time they played this. hey do you happen to have Rhiannon from this concert?
drummer looks awesome
Yeah. (:
(Cyron43) ~ Thanks for your comment!! (:
doorknob2150 ~ Thanks for pointing that out!! You are correct. (:
it's called adrenaline! a live performance on national tv... outdoors.. the last thing you'd be worried about is your fingers!
That's because it's 32 degrees. steel strings go sharp when the weathers
cold and it was colder than SHIT out there.
yeah it does seem to be a bit outta tune..and this performance is probably before Lindsey realized that he couldnt hit the high notes anymore in Go your own way and started singing the alternate way like he does in the Boston dvd.
i do give him credit for playing his guitar in 30 degree weather. his hands must have been freezing!
That's totally it. You can't keep strings in tune in this kind of weather.
this is an awesome song! it seems like they were off alittle bit... too slow??? probably cuz of the weather... hahah
or... it's because she lost her tambourine :/
You will get that chance sooner or later. Don't give up on that. (:
If my pal can't post it, I will. (:
Thanks for commenting!! (:
Of course i also love stevie and lindsy and i really dont want to see them leave the band!. Those two have got just sparks between them in concerts!!. but just listen to some concert songs where stevie is taken christine's part like say that you love me!!. Like those songs your going to mis christine!
@ericynot Don't forget some of the best guitar playing ever.
umm no? the acoustic part of this song has ALWAYS been in this song regardless of Christine's absence..
@bellefairchild who cares? its his song..
16443126 ~ I TOTALLY agree with you. Thanks for saying that!! No need for the swear words though. (:
I do like Christine, but I don't miss her!! (Sorry.) I'm as happy as a clam that it's just Lindsey & Stevie (my two faves) up front. Lindsey is the one who is mainly responsible for F.Mac's huge success, but that's just my opinion. (:
@DeanoPiano yeah, his guitar is also out of tune probably by the weather
I guess to each his/her own. I do like Chris, but I don't miss her. (Sorry.) As long as Lindsey (along with Stevie ) is in the band, I'm a very happy camper, but that's just my opinion. Everyone feels differently about it. (:
Sorry, but I don't think so. I never thought Mick was cute, but that's just my opinion. Everybody likes different things. That's what makes the world go round . (lol) (:
Sorry (pattonftw), but I don't agree with that. No Lindsey, no F.Mac, in my opinion. (:
probably due to the weather but his G, B and High E strings are slightly out of tune
people sound like they are producers or something the way they like to talk about sound and the enginerring science behind chords in cold weathers and the physics behind vocal strains against wind and penis sizes in icey weather... who the F%^* give a rat S%&£ i would loved to have been there for that.woulda kicked arse even if it did sound slightly out it would have still been a nice experience to have witnessed. and to bo honest.i woulda propbably been singing along at the top of my voice
No you are wrong. His guitar is very clearly out of tune. It is probably the cold weather, not good for guitars at all.
By Fleetwood Mac standards this is not a great performance. Cold weather and the absence of Christine McVie no doubt contribute to that, but hell, even on an off day, these guys sound great. And has anyone ever seen Mick Fleetwood drumming when he didn't look like he was having the time of his life? The guy is a force of nature.
Whatever. (lol) I guess to each his/her own. (:
2:00 the man is hardcore rocking he shud see slipknot live!
maybe it was too cold....
his guitar is out of tune...a reason cuz its cold ;)
no christine mcvie no mac in my opinion
Oh, someone's out of tune.
