The running music joke is “Taylor Swift write winey songs about her ex-boyfriends. Stevie Nicks writes killer songs about her ex, and makes him play the guitar while she sings it”
Truth!
Good one Mark!
Stevie: Writes a song about an immortal Celtic goddess-sorcerer, totally denies it's autobiographical.
Yep, and they have great chemistry singing to each other (Stevie & Lindsey)
The fact is that if Lindsey didn't rewrite her songs for her, they probably wouldn't have been recorded.
The Midnight Special live version of this song is unreal. Stevie goes insane, one of my favourite vocal performances ever.
I agree 3 songs that I love the live version. The one you just said. Eagles take it to the limit, and Dire straits sultans of swing alchemy live!
I love that version.
yeah the live 1976 version is the best to listen to ... she goes nuts at the end.
That was an AMAZING performance!!
One of my top three live performances of all time. I get chills watching her performance and the coda in the live version is just getting started where this version ends. It's absolute fire.
Stevie’s alive and well, guys. She still divides her time between her solo career and Fleetwood Mac. If it weren’t for the pandemic, she’d be on tour right now.
Yep my daughter and her husband had tickets, sadly they canceled this year.
But years of booze and a raging cocaine habit have taken a heart-breaking toll. Her voice is now ....... well ....... er ......... not as beautiful as it was and she's put on a few pounds. I prefer to remember her as she was in the 70's. She was a glorious, gorgeous, mesmerising mover and evocative dream-maker. And that voice, oh, that VOICE !!!!!
@@mimikurtz2162 your heart is broken.
I almost choked myself when I heard him say that. WHOEVER told'em she had passed, really was joking badly.
@@mimikurtz2162 Correction. She still is glorious, gorgeous, mesmerising nd an evocative dream-maker. Let's not take away "somethin" from someone only cuz they older.
Christine came first, as early as 1971’s Future Games, although she did the cover art for the band’s previous album Kiln House from 1970. She get unfairly overlooked, and her songs from the beginning are beautiful. If Stevie Nicks is the manic pixie dream fairy of the band, Christine is the Earth Mother, seeing things with a clear eye and no illusions, holding everyone steady beneath their feet
Yes to this!!!
Very well put!
The great thing about this band is that they had 3 different singers who would trade lead singing. Stevie, Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham were all in the band together and each sang lead on their own songs and backup on each other's songs. And all 5 member of the band are still alive. You should try one of Lindsay's lead vocals just to hear how the band sounds with a male lead. "Go Your Own Way" or "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" were two of his bigger lead vocals. And if you listen to "The Chain" you can hear how tight they sing all together.
All great selections, can't go wrong with any of these
Christine shows her chops on "Songbird"
"The Chain" is also a really good example of how the band and their producers were able to make use of anything - the two parts of the song were originally different ideas that didn't pan out, but they combined them and produced one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Yeah, having Stevie, Christine, and Lindsey each take turns singing gave each their songs a unique feel and kept the band’s music fresh over the decades…
Sometimes I wish reacters would do 2 or 3 songs all at once or have like a week dedicated to just learning about one artist.
Christine McVee had a beautiful voice as well. Almost the opposite of Stevie. Rough and mellow and bluesy. She never gets enough credit.
I much prefer Christine's singing to Stevie's. I always wished she had led more songs, love the sound of her voice.
Agreed, CM had amazing vocals, too bad she's not as celebrated as Nicks.
Christine McVee, was pretty much the "Songbird" she described on their Rumors LP. Of that version of Fleetwood Mac she wrote most the material which became top radio/MTV air-play. Then again she wrote/co-wrote most of their material in that time.
Just off the top of my head these are some of what she wrote or co-wrote:
As Long as You Follow
Behind the Mask
Brown Eyes
The Chain
Don't Stop
Everywhere
Friend
Got a Hold on Me
Hold Me
I Do
Isn't It Midnight
Little Lies
Love in Store
Love Shines
Love Will Show Us How
Oh Daddy
Only Over You
Over & Over
Over My Head
Save Me
Say You Love Me
Skies the Limit
Songbird
Temporary One
Think About Me
Warm Ways
When The Train Comes Back
Wish You Were Here
World Turning
You Make Loving Fun (Likely their biggest selling hit song, which was written and the lead vocal was by her )
@@tommack9395 Thank you for the info. Not big into music history or any of that. But I do know, personally, that I enjoyed Christine McVee every bit as much as Stevie Nicks. If not more.
I'd love to have Christine sing me to sleep.
In England 1967 a singer / guitarist named Peter Green recruited Mick Fleetwood (drummer) and John McVie (bassist). In 1970 John married Christine Perfect (keyboards / back-up vocals) and a couple months later Green left the group. They were primarily a blues band at that time. They hit the British charts in 1968 and just continued to greater success. Up until 1974 the band had various other members in transition. Bob Welch was a member from 71-74. In 1974 the band then recruited Lindsey Buckingham, who only agreed to join only if they would bring on Stevie Nicks. The band leadership was actually Mick, John & Christie, but Buckingham / Nicks gave the band a new rock infusion and Buckingham's composing contributions cannot be understated. - - I had always kind 'poo poo'd' Nicks as a member. I liked Christie's voice much more and felt that Nicks could only play a tamborine and sing of course. But I softened over time and Stevie's froggy voice grew on me over time.
Don't kill off Stevie please! She's still here and still vibrant!
Stevie Nicks is alive and well. Mick Fleetwood started the band in the UK and released the song Black Magic Woman which became a hit for Santana. Moved to the U.S. and added additional members to the band including Stevie Nicks
Black Magic Woman written by Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac 1967-1970
They wanted Lindsey Buckingham. Lindsey would only join the band if they took his partner Stevie, too. Let that sink in. Fast forward to Stevie hooking up with Mick and ultimately seeing that Lindsey was fired by giving the band an ultimatum that they had to choose between her and Lindsey. Classy.
@@surlechapeau Right, the band, Fleetwood Mac released the song in the UK which became a hit for Santana.
@@757optim Gossip doesn't interest me, music does.
There is a golfer from England named Tommy Fleetwood and I keep wanting to call him Mick. Lol
Stevie Nicks has NOT passed. She recently canceled her upcoming tour because of Covid, but is doing very well!
Thank you for pointed that out. I had ro research to see if he was right or not. So glad he was wrong.
Glad to hear that. When J said she passed away I was like, WHAT????
I think they got Stevie mixed up with Christine.
Gypsy is another amazing song by Fleetwood Mac that Stevie sings. It’s utterly gorgeous! But Christine has a stunning voice too - Over My Head is one of my favourites.
Stevie Nick's and Lindsey Buckingham are one of the great songwriting duos of ALL-TIME. The whole Rumors album is a masterpiece
Too bad the album was being made when Stevie and Lindsey, Mick and his wife, John and Christie McVie all were going through breakups.
@@susandauer7911helped the album tbh
Stevie Nicks is still with us. Thankfully, she’s not passed.
and she's still out there performing at 73 and just as Hot as ever!
Definitely react to " The Chain " and
" Tusk " Stevie wrote this song and Christine is playing the keyboard and doing backup vocals.
Stevie Nicks is 73 and still alive.
I love Tusk
@@HandleTakenlol Tusk is also my absolute favourite song from Fleetwood Mac, a masterpiece. Also like "Big big love".
Tusk!
The live version of this is unbelievable. Stevie was amazing.
Is amazing. She’s still alive.
Stevie was added with her boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham. Trouble came when they broke up. Stevie says this is her Anthem song as she was starting to be known as the white witch/goddess and later went on to greater success, solo.
She is the only woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Once with Fleetwood Mac and once with her solo work.
Listen to their other female singer, Christine McVie. “Songbird” is wonderful.
Rob and Amber - Christine McVie was Christine Perfect before she got married. And most listeners would agree that she's aptly named. Listen to "Songbird" or "You Make Loving Fun" and you'll see why.
ruclips.net/video/wTi19MPOvDw/видео.html
"Songbird"
ruclips.net/video/uJo3Rq5Fubc/видео.html
You Make Loving Fun".
Beautiful song that's filled with so much emotion! I was just listening to it earlier today!
I love her contralto voice, generally she moves me more than Stevie but 'Beautiful Child' by Stevie gets to me.
I like Eva Cassidy's cover of Songbird
yes oh I have suggested that
it it one of the best by Fleetwood Mac
You should try The Chain from Fleetwood Mac next.
Stevie Nicks is still living and still performing. I just love her voice. The Rumors album is amazing.
Fleetwood Mac was a blues band in the 60's. Amazing music. Hypnotize is my favorite of their songs. Then in the 70's Lyndsay Buckingham, the guitarist, and Stevie, his girlfriend, joins the band.
Whoever told you that Stevie Nicks passed away didn't know what they were talking about.
The "turmoil" in the band was that Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham (the guitarist) had just ended a long term live in relationship, and John and Christine Mcvie (bassist and keyboardist, respectively) were in the middle of a divorce.
And Stevie was having an affair with Mick.
And Mick Fleetwood was divorcing his wife Jenny and hooking up with Stevie.
Love affairs with in a band almost always lead to turmoil, but they can also be the inspiration for some incredible music.
Stevie Nicks is still alive, and she’s awesome
Thank u for lettin me know.
I actually got emotional thinkin she had passed.
She's a genius poet n Lindsey is a genius at puttin her words to music!
Definitely need to listen to “Gold Dust Woman” and “Gypsy” (both sang by Stevie)....and “The Chain”...Also, “Leather and Lace” which is a Stevie Nicks & Don Henley song (he’s the drummer and co-lead vocalist from The Eagles)
Suggestions:
Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’
Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’
Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’
Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father,’
and last but not least ...
Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.’
Please listen to “Silver Springs”
Stevie and Lindsay had a rocky love affair, and the look she gives while singing it to him at the end of that song just gives me chills!
Ditto with Landslide!
yes listen to silver springs
She's practically yelling at him at the end - "WAS IT WORTH IT?"
The version from The Dance slays me!
Dude! Stevie Nicks is still alive and still sings her ass off! Haha. Check a LIVE performance next time of a current show. :) Christine McVie was a keyboardist/piano player that also sang lead on a few songs...but they were in the band at the same time.
I'm going to go with Christine's 48 lead vocals versus Stevie's 37 are more than a few. :)
Christine McVie joined the band in 1971, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined on New Year's Eve 1974. Stevie is very much still alive and part of Fleetwood Mac (as is Christine McVie), in fact, as We speak, she's recording a full length album/soundtrack for a film series about this very song, "Rhiannon". She was commissioned by Warner Bros. to make a movie depicting the Welsh Folk Mythological character of Rhiannon -- The Mare Goddess -- in 1978, 2 years after this song/single was a blockbuster hit (in 1976). If you want to hear how glorious Christine McVie's voice and songs are, I recommend, "Say You Love Me", "Come A Little Bit Closer", "Everywhere", "You Make Loving Fun", "Little Lies", "Hold Me", "Only Over You", "Isn't It Midnight?", "As Long As You Follow", and, "Love Shines".
The live version of this from about 25 years ago from their reunion tour is amazing!
Mick Fleetwood has said when they perform this live Stevie almost goes into a trance, he calls it the "Dance of Rhiannon". Christine McVie was in the band first, they hit their stride when Lindsey and Stevie joined. Originally, they only wanted Lindsey, he told the band that he and Stevie were a package deal.
A good pick for Female Friday is Carole King. Great songs are "So Far Away" and "It's Too Late". She held the record for highest selling album for many years. You will not be disappointed.
Right on! LOVE Carole!
Oh, yes, this is the right take. Carole King is a great wormhole.
You are correct. Pink Floyd surpassed her on weeks in Billboard 200. Tapestry has all great tracks.
Yes Yes Yes!! Carole is brilliant. Tapestry is one of the best albums ever. 🎹🎶✌
Carole King is a must!! Anything off her Tapestry album please!!
Stevie is very much alive and well and recently cancelled her tour due to covids. Better watch out Amber, Stevie has a magical mystical quality about her that kind of turns young men into rabid fans. The live version of this is also great, she really goes badass especially in the end of the song. The best way t o describe FM songs is they are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. The more you listen to them the more you want to. DREAMS is my favorite of theirs. It is really smooth like butter and the lyrics are great. I would also do some Christine Mcvie, songs like SONGBIRD.
Dreams is my favorite too!! But the Rumors album is amazing!
Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie are not original band members. Christine came shortly after inception and Stevie came after front man, Bob Welch, left the group. The best song pre Stevie you should listen to is "Hypnotized". It's got an amazing vibe and truly will not disappoint.
Stevie is alive and well in Phoenix. She was first and was married to one of the band members. After she went solo, the other lady replaced her.
Christine McVie’s lead vocals on You Making Loving Fun, Over My Head, Say You Love Me and Little Lies are among my favourites and just as evocative as anything Stevie does.
Any song with her on lead is my favorite
Songbird! Beautiful. 🥰
Christine is pristine!
lol hardly!
@@andrealovelace7251 lol I didn’t say more than, I said as..
The band existed first. Stevie and Lindsay joined and the band exploded. Any song from the Rumors album is exceptional. Do more!
To add to your comment. Stevie and Lindsey were a duet making music before joining Fleetwood Mac, and yes it exploded after they joined I agree.
Rob Squad this was huge in the 70s, I wish the 70s would get respect it deserves 8 of the top 25 biggest selling ALBUMS In the USA are from the 70s,, But the 80s get most respect , THATS NOT FAIR, So many big songs in the 80s were 70s cover songs
I agree!!!
You gotta deep dive this band! Christine and Lindsey take lead vocals on many of their tunes as well.
@@michaelmacdermott6340 yes, many Fleetwood Mac hits were originally off the Buckingham-Nicks album.
If I had had a daughter, her name would’ve been Rhiannon because of this song but I was blessed with two amazing boys! Stevie is the Queen Mother of all that is vocal greatness!
1986..my baby was going to be Rhiannon Melissa but ended up being a Joshua David...
If i'd have ever been blessed with children, my first born daughter would have been Rhiannon. Regrets abound! 😭
More songs from Fleetwood Mac - Secondhand News - Hold Me - Tusk - You make Loving Fun - Big Love - Don't Stop - Go your own way - Gypsy - Gold Dust Woman
You should do "The Chain" and "Silver Springs" -- both preferably from the video of their 1997 concert. It's great to see them perform live. "Silver Springs" is a gut punch.
Yes, you MUST do Silver Springs. Stevie wrote that song about her tumultuous relationship with band mate Lindsay Buckingham. Check out the video Fleetwood Mac-The Dance-1997-Silver Springs. Probably her best song, and in the video she is not so much singing it TO Buckingham as she is singing it AT him. It looked like she wanted to stick the mic in his ear.
Not nearly enough people do silver springs. It's gorgeous and deadly.
Jay, Stevie is very much still alive!!! Her close friend Tom Petty unfortunately passed away a couple years ago, but she is alive.
Definitely dive into Fleetwood Mac. It is a great band with a Lot of turmoil. Christie McVee was in the band before Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham joined, but their addition made the band HUGE. Despite their rocky relationship, Lindsey was the perfectionist and truly knew how to bring out the best in Stevie’s voice through great arrangements and guitar work, but she is a talent like no other. Check out The Chain, Silver Springs, & Gold Dust Woman. The live versions are the best tho! Keep the reactions comin! Congratulations on 100K! 👍
You should do a Christine McVie song for female Friday. I recommend Songbird…her voice is truly like butter
I like “Save Me.”
Yes. Songbird or Everywhere is also a good one.
You Make Loving Fun is my favorite Christine McVie song
Remember that Fleetwood Mac had three different lifetimes. Peter Green formed the band in 1967, naming it after the two people he wanted to join - Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. They were a typical late 60's British Blues Band producing hits like "Black Magic Woman" (covered by Santana) and "Oh Well" Green succumbed to LSD (much like Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys).
Keyboardist Christine Perfect joined during the transition and eventually the guitarists/vocalists included Bob Welch, whose version of the band included hits like "Hypnotized" and "Sentimental Lady".
Finally, they recruited Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks ( who had previous recorded an album together) to produce the final version of the band - Fleetwood (drums), McVie (bass), Perfect, who married McVie (keyboards/vocals), Buckingham (guitar/vocals), Nicks (vocals).
Stevie Nicks is very much alive, she has not passed away. Fleetwood Mac is a British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967. Fleetwood Mac was founded by guitarist Peter Green, drummer Mick Fleetwood, and guitarist Jeremy Spencer, then bassist John McVie joined the line-up. Danny Kirwan joined as a third guitarist in 1968. Keyboardist Christine Perfect married McVie and joined in 1970.
All three guitarists left in succession during the early 1970s, to be replaced by guitarists Bob Welch and Bob Weston and vocalist Dave Walker. By 1974, Welch, Weston, and Walker had all either departed or been dismissed, leaving the band without a male lead vocalist or guitarist. In late 1974, while Fleetwood was scouting studios in Los Angeles, he heard American folk-rock duo Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks and asked Buckingham to be their new lead guitarist, and Buckingham agreed on the condition that Nicks could also join the band.
"Gypsy" is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. Although they have many more classic songs to react to. That song would appeal to Amber considering she loves all things Gypsy.
Love Gypsy ..and the video is one of the greatest ever
🐈⬛
The guitar at the end is ridiculously good from Buckingham
@@garyarnett1220 that has always been my all time favorite too! That video i could watch a million times.
Love Stevie Nicks - what a sound she has when she sings - she is still alive at 73yrs
yeah that threw me as well---last I heard she is still alive and can still sing a bit!
Omg no she still alive and kicking dude
There were four distinct versions of the band : 1. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green- Lead guitar,Jeremy Spencer-Rhythm guitar, John McVie- Bass guitar & Mick Fleetwood- Drums;then 2. Jeremy Spencer-Lead & rhythm guitar, Danny Whitten-Rhythm guitar, Christine McVie-Keyboards & John McVie-Bass guitar,Mick Fleetwood-Drums;3Bob Welch-Lead Guitar, Danny Whitten-Rhythm guitar,Christine McVie-Keyboards, John McVie-Bass guitar, & Mick Fleetwood-Drums; 4 Lindsey Buckingham-Lead Guitar, Stevie Nicks-Vocals, Christine McVie-Keyboards, John McVie-Bass guitar, & Mick Fleetwood-Drums . So there you are.
Christie Mcvie…piano
Fleetwood Mac…drummer
Stevie Nics….singer
A ton of fans named there daughter after this song... always loved Stevie. such a beautiful voice; The Chain would be my next pick
Yeah, I'm 40 and I knew one Rhiannon growing up named for this song, met another at uni
My second daughter was named after this song and I'm half Welsh so it was a no brainer
Needs to be the live version.
The High women's version of The Chain is actually better and I generally prefer originals.
My daughter is Rhiannon, because of this song and Steve's beautiful voice. When my daughter was still young, when she would hear this music from another room, she always came running lol.
I recommend Gold Dust Woman, another haunting vocal from Stevie. Stevie is fortunately still with us! She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019 with Def Leppard! 💞🎼🎸✌️🎤😎
Yes do the live version she did in Chicago unbelievable and she was in her 60s
This is the music your parents and grandparents grew up with,that's why we are so cool!
My wife just bought us tickets to see Stevie Nicks. I saw Fleetwood Mac about 25 years ago. Really looking forward to it. She's one of my all-time favorite female singers. Gypsy is probably my favorite.
It was impossible to get through the 80's without hearing Fleetwood Mac on every radio station or in any record collection. They had tons of hits over many years, but this was their best album.
Yeah, they did play a little in the 80s too.
That is an exaggeration. Yes, Fleetwood Ma was an extremely popular band that was played on both pop and rock stations. However, I am pretty sure they were not played on R&B or Country stations.
Excuse me, I should have said on every station I listened to.@@BadlndsBob
Stevie is alive and well and is about to release a solo album and will tour next year. Her first Solo album Bella Donna is one of the best albums of that era.
Yeah, don’t know where J got that from. Scared me for a minute
What a perfect descriptive question: Why is Fleetwood Mac like Butter ? I've been listening to them for years (don't ask how many....). Many of their songs are just like that. Some, however, are like sizzling butter in the pan based on what they are about.
And yes, Stevie is still with us.
Christine McVie was married to the bassist, John McVie. They and the drummer Mick Fleetwood started with the original line up. Stevie and Lindsey joined later. You would absolutely LOVE Christine's Songbird.
My mother was absolutely in love with Stevie Nicks. I was born in 1977, if inwas a girl my name was to be Rhiannon. I wasn't so as a tribute to my mother, my daughter is named Rhiannon.
You all should check out Over My Head by Fleetwood Mac and give Christine McVie some live next: she has an amazing voice, too.
"You Make Lovin' Fun" is another great song with Christine McVie at the lead.
Please please if just for yourself watch this song from The Midnight Special from I think it's 1977 or 76 she goes crazy!! Badass!!!!!
Just watched that, Wow. Always been a Stevie fan.
@@phazerboy phenomenal right?
Christine McVie was a band member first. Lindsey and Stevie joined as a couple later. Lindsey is a HUGE part of this era of FM’s sound. He’s an amazing guitarist and singer.
The guys on that album cover are the constants throughout the band's career, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, the amalgamation of their surnames giving the band it's name. They started in 1967 as a blues band with fabulous singer and guitarist, Peter Green, who went on to take the band into new directions with a string of hit singles 'Albatross', 'Man of the world', Oh, well', 'The green Manalishi' and 'Black magic woman', all stunning tracks you should check out. Singer/songwriter Christine Perfect married John McVie and contributed keyboards (uncredited at first) to those early Fleetwood Mac albums, so she was first to join the band. Peter Green left in 1970 after having mental problems due to a bad acid trip, although he did return for a short while until they found a replacement for him. The current phase of the band from 1975 onwards was a massively successful reboot when couple Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were asked to join the band and brought a whole new dynamic with their own style of songs and close harmonies.
You will never confuse her voice for any other singer - she is one of those singers that has a very unique voice.....Rod Stewart, Janice Joplin, Jim Morrison etc.
agreed!
Fleetwood Mac were a blues band in England, mid ‘60s. Peter Green was their guitarist. He left around 1970 and Christine McVie joined on keyboards. Buckingham and Nicks, Americans, joined mid 70s, and the band’s sound became more Pop than Blues.
What about Bob Welch lead singer and guitarist
Got me hypnotized.
@@guitgas exactly and others from that album
A quick group history. They started out as a British blues band named after the rhythm section Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. By 1970 Christine married John and joined the group, and the original guitar players/singers had left. In the early 1970s they went through several guitar players. In 1974 they asked Lindsey Buckingham to be the guitar player. He agreed on condition that his girlfriend and singing partner Stevie Nicks could also join. That is the lineup that has maintained (through several breakups) since.
Mick Fleetwood started the band with Christine and John McVie. They were an all-English blues/rock band with other members including Peter Green. They released several albums in the late '60's/early '70's. They broke up and Mick, John and Christine moved to L.A. and added Americans guitarist Lindsay Buckingham and singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks. Their first album together was a big hit and their second Rumours was one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
Stevie is alive and well and still singing fabulously! 😊
Gypsy is another of her best songs and Talk to Me is another song she did solo.
Gold Dust Woman is another great song by Stevie (and Fleetwood Mac) for one of your Female Fridays.
When Bob Welch (singer, guitar) left Fleetwood Mac in 1974 Mick Fleetwood knew he wanted to get Lindsey Buckingham to replace him. When the group approached Buckingham he said he would only join the group if they would also take his girlfriend, Stevie Nicks. This has got to be one of the greatest acquisitions in music history. Fleetwood Mac got 2 great singers, 2 great songwriters and 1 great musician and a great producer. This all complimented the great singer, songwriter and musician they already had in the group, Christine McVie. What they didn't realize was that, except for Christine's contributions, Lindsey Buckingham would take over the group and set their direction for the rest of their existence. Still, all this collaboration was incredibly fruitful and financially rewarding with all Fleetwood Mac members making more money than they could ever have dreamed of.
The Welsh mythology this comes from are a good read, "the earliest prose stories of the literature of Britain. The stories were compiled in Middle Welsh in the 12th-13th centuries from earlier oral traditions. There are two main source manuscripts, created c. 1350-1410, as well as a few earlier fragments."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabinogion
Thank you - you beat me to it!
And God put Stevie on this Earth to bless us with an Angelic voice. Always loved the song "Little Lies" is groovy, vibey kinda song. Christie McVee was a great vocalist as well!
I agree! I love Hold me.✌❤
Apologies for now because I can't find the right word (I may have to come back and insert it in :/), but for now I'll just say that not enough can be said for McVie's contribution to the band. Yes, the already mentioned Hold Me, and then Songbird, Over My Head, Don't Stop...
I love her voice. She was featured in so many wonderful songs.
I actually like McVee's voice better.
@@chefskiss6179 I love her song from her 1984 album "Got a Hold on Me" really features her vocals. She is an amazing keyboardist!
They were originally a blues band out of the UK. Christine joined a little afterwards. Her husband John (ex-husband now) plays the base. Mick Fleetwood plays the drums. Stevie and Lindsey were a duo., They had one album called Buckingham Nicks before joining Fleetwood Mac. They brought the California sound to the band that made everything gel. Rumours was the best selling album in history until Thriller came along. It was a perfect album during which Lindsey and Stevie were breaking up and John and Christine were heading for divorce. And no - Stevie isn't dead!! Bite your tongue. If you want a song that features Christine's voice more, try You Make Loving Fun or Songbird.
Fleetwood Mac had a revolving door of band members back in its beginnings. But the mainstays were Mick Fleetwood, John McVei, and Christine Perfect. Christine married John and became Christine McVei. Then, Mick asked Lindsey Buckingham to join the band as the lead guitarist. Lindsey said he would do it only if his girlfriend, Stevie Nicks, was also brought on board. Stevie met Lindsey at a party when she sang with him.
A semi-condensed history of Fleetwood Mac in one giant paragraph: The original lineup in 1967 was Peter Green & Jeremy Spencer on guitar and vocals, John McVie on bass & Mick Fleetwood on drums. Danny Kirwan joined as the third guitarist and vocalist in 1968. Peter left in 1970 and after one album as a 4-piece, Christine McVie officially joined on vocals and keyboards (she had been playing piano on their recordings since their second album in 1968.) Jeremy wandered off while on tour and joined a cult; he was replaced by Bob Welch, guitar and vocals. Danny was fired in '72 due to erratic behavior from alcoholism; he was replaced by Bob Weston on guitar and Dave Walker on vocals. Walker lasted one album before they realized he didn't fit. Bob Weston had an affair with Mick's wife and got fired and then their manager sent a fake band out on tour using the Fleetwood Mac name. After many lawsuits to straighten that out, the band moved to America and made one last album with Bob Welch, who left for a solo career in '74. Mick heard a recording of Buckingham Nicks while seeking out a new studio to record the next album. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined on 12/31/74. This lineup made 5 studio albums and a live album, despite all of their relationships blowing up. In '87, Lindsey refused to tour behind the latest album and after a huge blowout fight in from of Christine's house, he quit. He was replaced by Billy Burnette and Rick Vito. After an album and tour with this lineup in 1990, Stevie quit, and Rick was asked to leave. They were replaced by Bekka Bramlett and Dave Mason. Then Christine quit the band and we thought Fleetwood Mac was over. Enter Bill Clinton, who used the song "Don't Stop" on the campaign trail, which resulted in a reunion of the classic Buckingham Nicks era lineup. This was followed by a live album and tour, after which Christine's fear of flying got the best of her and she left again. Mick, John, Stevie, and Lindsey made an album as a quartet in 2003. Christine returned to the band in 2015. A tour was planned for 2018, but after Lindsey openly mocked her onstage at the Music Cares award ceremony, Stevie decided that 40 years of putting up with Lindsey's abuse was more than enough and refused to share the stage with him ever again. Mick, knowing who brings in the money, fired Lindsey. He was replaced by Neil Finn (of Crowded House) and Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers). Awesome tour with no one staring at anyone else like they wanted to murder them (watch any video of Stevie and Lindsey during "Go Your Own Way" and you'll understand). I really, really really want the current lineup to do an album, but we'll have to wait and see.
Condensed version: The rhythm section of Fleetwood and Mac(vie) in a lifetime quest for guitarists and singers. Just playin' 8-P You summed it up quite well, although I would suggest some actual paragraphs XD
They shouldn’t ignore the pre-Buckingham/Nicks era. I particularly like Black Magic Woman, and they were still performing Oh Well when Billy Burnett was part of the line-up.
HOF post!
It should be noted that Dave Mason is MUCH more than his brief stop here, both in Traffic and as a solo act.
@@woke9974 Fleetwood Mac and Santana were inducted into the RRHOF the same night. Peter Green didn't perform with Fleetwood Mac that night, but he did join Santana on stage for their performance of "Black Magic Woman"
Christine McVie was added to the group after they were already established, and became a key player (literally!). There was some hesitation about adding another woman )Stevie) to the group when they already had Christine, but the two got along very well and harmonized beautifully. You can hear Christine's vocals in the background, adding another layer to this dreamy, mysterious song about a goddess from Welsh mythology, Rhiannon.
And Lindsey told Mick he and Stevie were a twofer
Rhiannon was the daughter of the king of the underworld , was creator of all birds , horses , songbirds , and cats were sacred to her. She was also known as the mother of all suffering according to the Myths. Sorry my inner "Geek-A-Saurus Rex" comes out when I listen to my "Diva" Stevie Nicks
Is that true? I had heard that it was the two Americans were the late comers. I really don't know. I only know that Fleetwood mac was at least already kind of famous before they arrived.
Im sorry but Christine McVie was in Fleetwood mac way before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were apart of the band, I hope that doesn't come across as a "know it all" or "Mr. Corrector" because I sure dont mean to be....
@@seannorton early on FM existed as a British Blues act. After gaining some momentum they allowed Christine to join. She and John MacVie got married. FM then invited Lindsay Buckingham to join. He said he and Stevie Nicks are a combo plate. After meeting with the band and seeing how well the girls got along , Stevie and Lindsay officially became part of FM. The rest is Rock n Roll history
This was a HUGE!!!!!!! hit in 75-76. This is basically the third edition of the band Fleetwood Mac, with the arrival of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, and this version of the band's first hit. Nicks and Buckingham had been and at this point in time were still an “Item” (musically and romatically). They had recorded and put out at least one album together. When Bob Welch left Fleetwood Mac (version 2), the band was looking for a guitarist and composer and Buckingham filled that bill very well---they also got Stevie Nicks, which added another dimension to the band and its sound. Christine McVie was in the band before both of them joined (she was married to the bass player).
Just one of the many, many songs and reasons why Stevie Nicks was THE FIRST woman inducted in to the rock and roll hall of fame twice!!! Gypsy, Silver Springs live from the Dance, Gold Dust Woman live from her 24k ahold tour and Stand Back (Prince plays in it) would all be great options or a FULL Stevie Nicks Female Friday!
Please do a reaction to this live on The Midnight Special. It is absolute fire, and it was Stevie’s live introduction to the world…. mind blowing performance. Stevie won’t disappoint ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Christine McVie is freaking unbelievable on "Songbird" and "You Make Loving Fun". Lindsey Buckingham shines on "The Chain", in my humble opinion, their finest song(drums, BASS and guitar are just superb!)
I prefer songs where she is the lead singer.
All of their best songs were Buckingham songs.
Songbird was the song my wife walked down the isle to. 😊
Love the bass on The Chain which is pretty much my favorite song by them
@@historyguy5942 dreams (their only number 1 on billboard) was written by stevie
Fleetwood Mac is a band that has had two different "lives." It began as a British blues band when Peter Green (guitar), Mick Fleetwood (drums), and Jeremy Spencer (guitar) originally formed the group. Later, John McVie (bass) joined. They added a third guitarist (Danny Kirwen), and a keyboard player (Christine Perfect) who married John McVie.
Over time, all three of the guitar players left the band and were replaced by two new guitarists and a new male singer, but guess what? All three of the replacement artists ALSO left. This left only Mick Fleetwood with John & Christine McVie in the band, and they needed a guitarist, preferably one who could sing. Mick heard Lindsey Buckingham and asked him to join, but he would only join if Stevie Nicks could join, too (Buckingham and Nicks were a folk duo at the time.) This version of the band was more "pop/rock" than blues, and it is the version that became Super Huge. All five of them are still alive, too.
Peter Green, from the original version of the band, DID pass away fairly recently, though.
I was hoping you'd listen to the live version. This band was incredible live especially when Stevie loses herself in the song and sort of goes into a trance while singing.
"Don't Stop" and "Everywhere" sung by Christine McVie. They are two of my favorite songs from FM.
Don't forget Lindsey Buckingham on co-lead vocals on "Don’t Stop."
Yes! I love everywhere 🥰
Little lies was a big hit.
Big love is Lindsey's masterpiece
Songbird
Oh Daddy
Stevie Nicks is still alive. Christine McVie passed away fairly recently. A friend of mine is part of a tribute band to Fleetwood Mac and she truly becomes Stevie! They are known as Belladonna.
One thing that is underappreciated -- well, under commented on, anyway -- is the drumming. Mick Fleetwood, the founder of the band, is a great drummer. Very unusual style, rarely relying on snare alone to drive the beat. This song is a great example. So is "GO Your Own Way:" Try to listen again and focus on the drumming. So great.
"Silver Spring" is another great song by them. NO, NO, NO! Stevie is very much alive, all of them are.
Watch the 1976 show of The Midnight Special. It's so much better than this one. This is a song about an old Welsh witch.
agreed, it's the best example of Rhiannon, pretty much, there were some other great live versions
When Lindsey was accepted into the band he wanted Stevie to be part of the band as well. From what I remember that is.
Mick Fleetwood and John McVie make up the band's name Fleetwood Mac.
Christine McVie went solo after the band broke up . You should check out her songs as well.
Christine McVie was in Fleetwood Mac before Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham joined in 1975. Christine joined in 1970. She was married to the groups bass player John McVie from 1968 to 1976. John and Mick Fleetwood are the only two original members and the group started as a blues group in the 60s
Amber, if you’re looking for hippie vibes, try these two songs. Scott McKenzie- San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) and Oliver- Good Morning Starshine.
Love, love RHIANNON, you should try out GYPSY next.
ABSOLUTELY!! 🌻🌼🌷🌸
I would throw The 5th Dimension “Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine” as well
@@jdeang3531 - Good one, J Dean! Marilyn was a great singer and so gorgeous, too!
@@jdeang3531 Yes!
This rhythm section has been together for about 54 years! Christine McVie joined around 1970 but was in and out of the band, mostly in. Buckingham/Nicks joined to create the last incarnation of the band and most commercially successful.
That lovely, little mystical witch...
Stevie rocks forever!!
There are live versions of the song on RUclips that are even better. Stevie basically goes nuts at the end of the song
The live version is the one I hoped they would react to. Search "Fleetwood Mac -Rhiannon (official video)". From 3:20 on, probably the best live performance I've ever seen. Buckingham going crazy on guitar and then quickly changing pace to Stevie at her witchiness best.
Nuts in a slick, progressive, ethereal way, yes!
No there isn't. Their live versions always sounded like they were about to miss the train. WAY TOO FAST!
Christine brought her own flavor to the group. "Over My Head" and others have her singing lead. "Hold On Me" is my favorite solo song of hers.
Have a great day.
Two great choices for a reaction video.
💚💙💜
Christine McVie was the first female singer, she joined as a singer and keyboard player in 1970 ( she was classically trained but was a fan of Fats Domino) she was married to the bass player John McVie. In 1975 Lyndsey Buckingham was approached by Mick Fleetwood as a possible guitar player for the band. He refused unless they also took in his then partner Stevie Nicks. Mick wasn’t sure if the girls would gel but agreed anyway. The Rumours title was used because of all the tensions and rumours in the band. Christine split with her husband because of his alcohol problems, she teamed up with the bands lighting director. Stevie had an affair with Mick Fleetwood, the result of booze and drugs. There was a big scandal because of the bands drugs use and Stevie’s addiction.
Eva Cassidy sings a great version of Christine’s song ‘Songbird’. You could compare both studio versions.
I recommend Fleetwood Mac live 1979 Sara, you've got to watch the video with the song...Stevie Nick's voice along with her emotion in the song...beautiful 💘
Over My Head or Everywhere with Christie McVie vocals.
Stevie Nicks is alive and well. She lives in Arizona and still tours from time to time. She has had a great solo life after Fleetwood Mac.
Yes, Stevie is alive & thriving. I agree with other commenters - THE CHAIN is one of Fleetwood Mac's BEST. Also - Stevie Nick's solo career's 'STAND BACK' is great for Female Friday - that's the one with Prince playing every keyboard/synthesizer you hear...a classic!
The original line up of the band was vocalist Peter Green, slide guitarist and vocalist Jeremy Spencer, bassist Bob Brunning and drummer Mick Fleetwood. The band's current lineup includes Fleetwood, bassist John McVie. Christine didn't join until 1970, Stevie and Lindsay joined in 1974.
Try go your own way it features all 3 voices and could be their greatest song.
Christie McVies voice is amazing also. Her songs are money. Take a listen to over my head or everywhere. Both songs really show how good she is.
Over My Head is the best. Love that song.
My favorite with her !
Everywhere and Songbird.
Hi guys. You need to watch this live 1976. I’m 70 and still rocking to Stevie.
The previous commenter, Sam T, recommends the Midnight Special Live version of Rhiannon (1976). Let me tell you, I've been a Fleetwood Mac/Stevie NIcks fan since the early 70s when I was a teenager. I played their music all the time. Suddenly, a few months ago, I come across the live version mentioned above. It's starts out just as you would expect. A very nice live version of the song. Then it changes! Stevie gives a backward look to Lindsey Buckingham and Lindsey kicks out one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard! No, it's not on the album! Then Stevie revs it up higher and higher in the 2nd half of the song. I watched it, spellbound, mouth hanging open. I've never seen Stevie Nicks sing with such passion in my life. I've watched this video at least 3-4 times a week since then. Please, do a reaction to the live version. It is in many respects, superior to the studio version. I wish I could go back to 1976 to see this show in person, but instead I had to wait 46 years to see it on RUclips. I'm glad to be alive at 62 years of age, but don't wait 46 years when you don't have to! Thanks for all you do. Keep being my favorite reaction team on You Tube.
I really wish you had reacted to the live performance. Stevie is possessed - in the best possible way. It is glorious …
You really have to react to the live midnight special version of this, Stevie nicks goes absolutely insane at the end, it literally makes me lose my breath!!! She also has an alternate version of this, Stevie writes all her songs. She took this from a book she was reading about a witch named Rhiannon, I have a friend that named hr daughter after this song. Lol
Funny my Breeder of Labrador Retrievers in VT. is named Rhiannon.
@HardNews TV14
✨ Great Music! Great Vibes! Great Times!
✨YES, I definitely agree, they did cheat themselves!😔
I've suggested it a couple times before, so I tried! lol, but I still hope they watch it, I'd love to see their reactions, but If they don't on camera, I hope they just watch it for themselves, bc its must see, & also bc excluding Stevies solo video for "EO17", they've only reacted to 1 live FWM performance so far, of "Landslide" and tho it was a beautiful and emotional performance, it was their concert from late 90s or early 2000s, I'd Like RSR to see FWM in all their glory in their prime!. I'm so glad they finally reacted to this song, but a little upset that they unknowingly did cheat themselves out of an amazing performance and out of seeing a little more into who FWM was in their day! I hope they react to "Gypsy" soon or "Dreams", I love "Silver Springs" too tho, but I do think that Stevie's live performance of it during that same concert that they reacted to "Landslide" from (is it The Dance? I can't remember the concert or tour name), but it's my favorite performance of that song, just bc of the passion In her voice & emotional interaction btwn Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, Ive felt that one everytime I've seen it! However, RSR could react to any song tho and I'd be glad, & FWM doesn't have a bad song, no matter who's got lead, but again IMO it's better when Nicks' does lead vocals! ...Hey, thanks for adding the link to the Midnight Special performance, it's one of the VERY BEST! 😃
