At a blink of an eye I’m 68 and I can relate to this song. Treasure every moment with family and good friends, so you will have beautiful memories to look back to. ❤️🙏🏼
When my daughter was born the nurse said don’t blink she’ll be grown before the know it, she’s in her 30’s now with growing boys… seems like yesterday when she was tiny & pink
I'm right behind you, and I say that just turning 50. 20 years is a blink. The look on her face when she sings "I'm getting older too" and knowing that she's younger in this video than I am now really puts things into perspective.
Oh, man, that look Lindsay gives her at 08:12, says everything. In spite of how tumultuous and bitter their relationship has been over their many ups and downs, you get the sense in that one look that she is still the love of his life.
I read that they were going to or did rekindle their relationship while on this tour and Lindsey found out his girlfriend was expecting their child. He had to break the news to Stevie and she was very emotional on the rest of the tour. 🥲
This is THE recorded landslide performance - Stevie's 49 here. She wrote it when she was 26 and at a crossroad about her music and her relationship with her musical and romantic partner Lindsey Buckingham (guitarist here - they met in HS, he asked her to join his college band in 1967 [she was 19, he was 17] and were a musical duo starting in 1971). "I took my love, I took it down" / "I'm afraid of changing because I've built my life around you". Their album Buckingham Nicks (which is wonderful) released in Oct 1973 failed and they were dropped by their label in early 1974. They were working at nights with free studio time making their second album while also working during the day. She was tired of the struggle. During this period Buckingham was on the road with Don Everly's band (which also included the great Warren Zevon - you should do his music) while she was left behind in Aspen and she wrote this song (and Rhiannon). She decided to stay with Lindsey and the music and not take her father's offer for paying for her return to finish college. A couple of months later Fleetwood Mac invited Lindsey into their band and he said not without my partner. This and several of their other songs they'd made for their 2nd album were rolled in to the self titled Fleetwood Mac (1975) which became at the time Warner Bros biggest selling album. Stevie dedicates Landslide to someone different every time Here it's to her father it was his favorite. Stevie said he thought it was about him and Stevie and Lindsey let him believe it.
She didn't - she dropped out her last year. At the point she wrote this song at age 26 - he offered to pay for her to go back and finish (Lindsey as well - his father had died earlier that year) and they made a deal that she would give music another 6 months. Three months later Mick called Lindsey.
Here is a quote from Stevie about this song: “I wrote it (Landslide) for Lindsey - for him, about him. It's dear to both of us because it's about us. We're out there singing about our lives. It was written in 1973 at a point where Lindsey and I had driven to Aspen for him to rehearse for two weeks with Don Everly.”
My 39 yr old daughter and my husband died two days apart at Christmas. I played this for one of her memorial songs with her photos. She was such a free spirit and loved Stevie.
Mind you, that was already 27 years ago. Can't believe Stevie is in her mid 70's. Fleetwood Mac would probably still be performing to this day if not for the death of Christine McVie. When she passed in 2022, the band had no desire to continue w/out her. ❤
I'm talking on Lindsay almost crying 'cause he sees Stevie Nicks like the girl in 70s that he was in love, and he got emotional listening her. she is a amazing singer, my Gosh, still give me chills.
Beautifully haunting lyrics and Stevie's vocals are pure emotions We must acknowledge Lyndsay Buckingham incredible guitar playing. One of the best pickers 🎸
Cryin my eyes out just like I did the days both my daughters grew up and left home....we always called this one of our songs...now I'm a grandma, kids in 30s and we all cry over this song now....keep this one for when they drive off to college or get married or whatever...
It was a reunion of Fleetwood Mac. And the emotion is real between her and Lindsey Buckingham. They were lovers for many years when they were younger. ❤ They loved as passionate as they fought and it shows in their music
I saw Stevie Nicks perform this song in March 2019 on the last Fleetwood Mac Tour to include Lindsey Buckingham. She was 70 years old at that point, still looking great, but when she first sang the line "And I'm getting older too", she just tilted her head slightly with a little wry smile, and shrugged her shoulders. This elicited a supportive cheer from the audience! What a gem of a lady. 💖
Stevie Nicks and her then-boyfriend, Lindsey Buckingham, were recording as a duo using the name "Buckingham-Nicks" before they joined Fleetwood Mac. They had already released an album in September 1973 called "Buckingham Nicks", which really sounds like an amazing blueprint for the most successful phase of Fleetwood Mac's musical journey. At the time, however, this album was a commercial failure, and the duo were planning to include "Landslide" on their next album. In interviews, Stevie has said that Landslide was about her romance with Lindsey and their career struggles, as well as her relationship with her business-executive father. Stevie wrote the song in 1974 in Aspen’s snow country. To help make ends meet at the time, Lindsey was on a tour with Don Everly's backing band, singing Phil Everly's parts. According to Stevie: "I was 27 (at the time) and I did already feel old in a lot of ways. I'd been working as a waitress and a cleaning lady for years. I was tired." "My dad did have something to do with Landslide, but he absolutely thinks that he was the whole complete reason it was ever written. I guess it was about September 1974, I was home at my dad and Mom's house in Phoenix, and my father said, "You know, you really put a lot of time into this (her singing career), maybe you should give this six more months, and if you want to go back to school, we'll pay for it. Basically you can do whatever you want and we'll pay for it - I have wonderful parents, and I went, 'cool, I can do that.'" "Lindsey and I went up to Aspen, and we went to somebody's incredible house, and they had a piano, and I had my guitar with me, and I went into their living room, looking out over the incredible Aspen skyway, and I wrote "Landslide." Three months later, Mick Fleetwood called. On New Year's Eve, 1974, called and asked us to join Fleetwood Mac. So it was three months, I still had three more months to go to beat my six month goal that my dad gave me." Jess Seth Nicks steadily encouraged his daughter’s success, celebrating along the journey to fame and glory. He was a constant advocate of Stevie's career and the band. When he died on August 10, 2005 at 80-years-old, Stevie released the following statement. “He was a force of nature. He waited until the Fleetwood Mac Tour was over-I asked him for that. He waited until this summer tour was over-I asked him for that. He couldn’t leave us during a tour-he knew that… He waited for me.”
My oldest son graduated in 2000. This was their graduation song. Make the time you have count. It goes by in the blink of an eye. I blinked, and it's been 24 years since my oldest baby boy graduated. I'm crying. 😢❤
This song means more now that she and Lindsey the guitarist are older. They were a couple before this performance and the relationship was turbulent. They had been separated as a group for years and got back together for a performance. It was played on PBS and every song was a treasure. Her hug of Lindsey was a landmark because they had not sung together for years. Beautiful work by both of them. 💕🙏💕
Silver Springs from this same concert is a MUST! Stevie, singing to Lindsey: 🎶”You’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you” 🎶 ❤❤❤🤘🏼🤘🏼
Fleetwood Mac was a huge part of my younger years, when my kids were growing up and life was good. They all heard Fleetwood on most days because I played their music all the time. My boys are now all in their 40's. All Fleetwood Mac's songs bring me to tears now. It effects my boys in the same way. At times in my life now it is hard to listen to those songs because I miss those years when the boys were young so much. When I am gone, I know if a Fleetwood Mac song comes on around any of my kids, it will be a moment of the past and a sadness will fill that minute but only until the song fades away. I love you Stevi, Lindsey, Mic, John and Christine. Thank you for filling my life with precious memories!
Lindsay Buckingham is SOOOO good on the guitar on this song. His finger picking getting louder and softer to match her voice and adding so many levels as the song builds is truly masterful. Add to that Stevie's voice is perfect on this live version.
I saw her sing this in 1977 and hearing her sing it here, the maturity in her voice is. I don't know how to describe it. She's an incredible and intoxicating singer and woman. Fleetwood Mac was a pretty awesome band before Stevie and Lindsey joined the band. That Duo made them one of the best bands. I also saw Boz Skags and the eagles at the same show that Fleetwood Mac was playing that day. Fun times for sure!
This was the one I was hoping you'd check out.. I love the decication to her dad at the beginning and the eye contact between she and Lindsey Buckingham.. I think this song is about her former relationship with Lindsey and also her dad, I could be wrong about that, but I thought I read that some place. I can still see my mom driving me around in our big yellow van, to soccer practice, 4-H and this song comes on the radio........ it touched me then as a kid and even more now.. thank you, BP. ❤
She actually did write the song for Lindsey, on the guitar that he gave her many years ago. Her dad always thought the song was written for him, so she dedicated it to him every time until he passed away. The last time I saw her do this song in concert, she dedicated it to Lindsey.
Stevie wrote this song, as she did most of FMs best songs. People act as if she was an afterthought for them but they'd be nowhere without "Dreams," "Gypsy," "Silver Springs," "Sister of the Moon," "Gold Dust Woman," the amazing "Rhiannon" and more. This song was actually written when Stevie was young, trying to decide whether to follow her music dream or give it up. Fortunately for us all, as Stevie says "I came here to be a poet!"
You mentioned the look between them, you should watch Silver Springs written by Nicks. The looks between them are very intense. The guitar player, Lindsey Buckingham, is her ex, and it's about the ending of their relationship.
BP...when I was younger an old woman told me, it takes courage to grow old, be strong and hold Jesus' hand. Well at 66, I know what she was talking about. You build your life around your family. As the man and father, you choose this day who your house will serve. As for me, I choose the Lord. Have courage and be a man, choose the Lord and He WILL guide your path. I love you and your family and keep ya'll in my prayers Oh 😂, great song by Fleetwod Mac
PROBABLY MY FAVORITE JAM BY THEM !!! THANKS FOR SHARING. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD A COVER OF THIS, THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM. A BIG ONE WAS THE DIXIE CHICKS (THE CHICKS) ...
My ex-wife is a huge Fleetwood Mac and when we were married we went out to a restaurant not near our house. On the way "home" from dinner I got "lost", which I've been known to do, and I drove us to a Fleetwood Mac concert that I had secretly bought tickets to. Needless to say she was shocked and we enjoyed a great concert. Now, struggling after the divorce ending our 28 year marriage, the lines: "Well, I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I've built my life around you" have new meaning.
This song played in the car after I took my firstborn daughter to the airport to leave for college for the first time and I sobbed on interstate 95 like an insane person. Amazing I made it home safely.
My very favorite Fleetwood Mac song. I do also low key dig the tension between the band members, dating one another and breaking up, etc. Thank you for reacting to this song. It put a smile on my face and happiness in my heart.
I saw them live in Toronto in the early 90s when they reunited and they didn't miss a beat. Stevie was just as gorgeous as ever. Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Great observation. You can see Ms. Nicks' life through the years, on YT, singing this song live from the heyday of Fleetwood Mac some 50 (!) years ago to just a couple of months ago. It's a testament to her legendary status.
My wife and I went to a Fleetwood mac concert and it was great but I tell you Lindsey Buckingham stole the show! Almost a 2 hr show and he never left the stage when the band took a couple breaks. He stood up there and gave us guitar solos. That man is so underrated. He can absolutely shred the guitar and he's super high energy.
They were friends for several years after eating in high school & were a couple from 71-77 but the love between them in their youth has always been in the background of their performances
This is a timeless song and timeless performance. This was recorded in 1997 - and Stevie wrote this in 1976 - about her breakup with the guy playing the guitar Lyndsay Buckingham. She built her life around him and he cheated on her - and she wrote this song. The song *_Silver Springs_* is the companion song to this one - and in it - at the end - she's basically screaming at him. More than Epic. One of the top performances of all time.
The saddest thing is realizing how fast time goes by. You know when we’re young we wish the days away because we can’t wait to meet the milestones of a young life, not realizing as we’re wishing that time away our parents or loved ones are getting older as well. Love everyone around you. Take in everything you can about them. Visit them every chance you get and listen to their stories every time because in the end that’s all you’ll have.
I saw Fleetwood Mac live, in the late 8:39 70’s, in an outdoor stadium, in a crowd that was oversold by 8000 tickets. Anyway, I was standing right at the front by the stage when 2 humongous speakers were blown over by the gale force winds luckily they had tied the speakers to the platform so they didn’t come crashing down on the audience. It was an incredible concert despite the overcrowding and the speakers incident.
When I saw her here in Maine in 2022, when she did this song, the whole place was hushed except for everyone softly singing along. It was such a beautiful moment.
Saw Fleetwood Mac 8 years ago and they were awesome. Saw them again with Christine McVie in their last tour with all members and despite their age they were just as good as they were when they were younger. Brings back loads of memories. Love your reactions, thanks for sharing.
I love her voice; back in the seventies, I had the biggest crush on her. Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac have so many great songs. Rhiannon is still my favorite, but this one always brings tears to my eyes.
You are getting a music education doing these reactions. From childhood to now (75) I’ve had the honor of listening to everything from classical to opera to pop to rock to blues to soul to Motown to country to hip hop to rap to metal. There’s something soul changing in all of it.
I have to say that I heard this song years ago and it made me think of my grandfather, then over the years it became my parents and then my son... Everyone older and younger can relate at different places in their life. I'm very impressed with this reaction. Thank you.
I was a sophmore when this came out. I got to drr thrm perform at Richfiled Collisseum in Ohio in the 90's. FF to today--I'm almost 64--this hits home in more ways than ever now.
Another important song by a female artist, written for her father, is Tori Amos- "Winter" Her live performance in 1991 is one of the most iconic live performance ever.
I saw Stevie Nicks in concert a few months ago. It was one of the top 3 concerts of my life! She is one of the greatest mainstream songwriters of our time, but hee best collab was hands down "Stand Back", which was composed by Prince! Stevie Nicks is an amazing human being.
Not really a collaboration. She wrote her song over Prince's song she heard on the radio. Her producer Jimmy Iovine knew if it went out like that she'd be sued (how she didn't get sued by The Police for taking their riff for Edge of 17 is a wonder) so he called Prince who was a huge FM fan - so he came in and played synths on it. He wanted no named credit but took 50% of the royalties.
Friends and I were slated to see her in the SF Bay Area the night of the Loma Prieta Earthquake. Luckily, she came back for us the following year. What a fun concert. 🌸🌸🌸
From this same concert, you have GOT to listen/watch (react if you wish) to Silver Springs! The vocal duo and harmonies of Stevie and Lindsey are amazing. Then knowing the history behind the lyrics and their relationship makes it SO much more intense. Epic performance.
Your comments made me think about this song in a way that I never did before. You've for sure gained the respect of this 74 year old recent subscriber.
Man, your reaction was so pure and honest. This is one of the most amazingly special reaction videos I've ever seen. I'm subscribing to your channel. Thanks for being willing to share your emotions in the moment and not turn it off. It was beautiful. I love this song as well. The song, Stevie Nicks, and Fleetwood Mac are all very special to me. I discovered them in my early teens. Btw, Bonnie Raitt's "Nick of Time" leaves me with a similar feeling. I think you'd like both the lyrics and the vibe. Hope you get a chance to check that one out.
I don't know your exact age, but much younger than I am I assure you. I would give my left one to be your age again. I'm currently watching my two grandchildren while my wife and daughter are away. I know you're aware of these things, but let me reiterate. Live in the present, in the now. Enjoy every second of every moment. None of us know what tomorrow will bring and life moves at breakneck speed and gets away from us. You graduate high school and before you know it your looking at retirement, kids are grown and raising the next generation and you realize your in the home stretch. The message of this song and others like it have more meaning and relatability than ever before.
I sang this at my Daughter's going away party last year with her boyfriend playing guitar. Because I used to sing my kids to sleep when they were babies to it. Stevie has been my idol since the 70's. If I could write a song with one person in the world it would be Stevie. My other favorite of her's with Fleetwood Mac is "Gold Dust Woman"
Landslide was a deep cut on the 1975 album. It was a fan favorite during concerts, with the audience giving Stevie standing ovations for her emotional performance. It became legendary with other artists covering it, in the 80s and 90s. The Mac didn't release it as a single until 1997, with this performance. The song was written by Stevie about Lindsey. She expresses her fears about their relationship, using the metaphor of a Landslide.
This came out on the radio right about when my son was graduating high school. Seemed every time I got in the car it came on the radio and mommy cried. Now I'm 66 and he's 48. He's 3000 miles away and yep he got older and I got older too. Getting older kinda' hurts but it sure beats the alternative :)
I just saw Stevie Nicks with Billy Joel last Friday at Soldier Field, and at 76 and 75 years old they put on one helluva show and both still sounded great!
As you get older, you see yourself in every thing around you... everything that happens to you in your life becomes part of you.. family friends experiences... you see your reflection in them.. like her dad.. obviously when you lose them, it's like a landslide brings it all down.. just when you start to realize all that... it is sad... Great reaction. 😊
At a blink of an eye I’m 68 and I can relate to this song. Treasure every moment with family and good friends, so you will have beautiful memories to look back to. ❤️🙏🏼
It's gone in the blink of an eye. I am sitting here wondering how I turned 62 this year when it was just yesterday. I was in high school.
When my daughter was born the nurse said don’t blink she’ll be grown before the know it, she’s in her 30’s now with growing boys… seems like yesterday when she was tiny & pink
58 here, and the world is so different, esp for my children. This song remains timeless. Fleetwood Mac was my first ever concert in the early 80s.
I'm right behind you, and I say that just turning 50. 20 years is a blink. The look on her face when she sings "I'm getting older too" and knowing that she's younger in this video than I am now really puts things into perspective.
Got u beat😊I’m 71…..ouch!
Oh, man, that look Lindsay gives her at 08:12, says everything. In spite of how tumultuous and bitter their relationship has been over their many ups and downs, you get the sense in that one look that she is still the love of his life.
Well said.
That look brings tears to my eyes.
I read that they were going to or did rekindle their relationship while on this tour and Lindsey found out his girlfriend was expecting their child. He had to break the news to Stevie and she was very emotional on the rest of the tour. 🥲
Oh my this just broke me 😭
Was. She was the love his life (at that time he was already with his next wife and had a child together).
This is THE recorded landslide performance - Stevie's 49 here. She wrote it when she was 26 and at a crossroad about her music and her relationship with her musical and romantic partner Lindsey Buckingham (guitarist here - they met in HS, he asked her to join his college band in 1967 [she was 19, he was 17] and were a musical duo starting in 1971). "I took my love, I took it down" / "I'm afraid of changing because I've built my life around you".
Their album Buckingham Nicks (which is wonderful) released in Oct 1973 failed and they were dropped by their label in early 1974.

Stevie dedicates Landslide to someone different every time Here it's to her father it was his favorite. Stevie said he thought it was about him and Stevie and Lindsey let him believe it.
Great summary. Ty !!
Stevi's Dad told her he wanted her to graduate college prior to pursuing a music career. She followed his request, and I've always admired her for it.
College of San Mateo JC and San Jose State! Love our local talent...
She didn't - she dropped out her last year. At the point she wrote this song at age 26 - he offered to pay for her to go back and finish (Lindsey as well - his father had died earlier that year) and they made a deal that she would give music another 6 months. Three months later Mick called Lindsey.
Despite their problems, you can CLEARLY see from this performance they love each other
I love this version even more than the album version.
Here is a quote from Stevie about this song:
“I wrote it (Landslide) for Lindsey - for him, about him. It's dear to both of us because it's about us. We're out there singing about our lives. It was written in 1973 at a point where Lindsey and I had driven to Aspen for him to rehearse for two weeks with Don Everly.”
My 39 yr old daughter and my husband died two days apart at Christmas. I played this for one of her memorial songs with her photos. She was such a free spirit and loved Stevie.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
May God bring you peace and comfort, our loved ones are just a moment away.
I am so very sorry for your losses. I have lost a daughter and son so, I do sympathize with you and your pain.😢😢😢
🙏❤️🙏
Stevie has always been perfection. Gorgeous voice and gorgeous face
Mind you, that was already 27 years ago. Can't believe Stevie is in her mid 70's. Fleetwood Mac would probably still be performing to this day if not for the death of Christine McVie. When she passed in 2022, the band had no desire to continue w/out her. ❤
Stevie is on tour now!
Well and the fact she got Lindsey fired 🥴
I saw them in 2017. It was amazing
I'm talking on Lindsay almost crying 'cause he sees Stevie Nicks like the girl in 70s that he was in love, and he got emotional listening her. she is a amazing singer, my Gosh, still give me chills.
Beautifully haunting lyrics and Stevie's vocals are pure emotions
We must acknowledge Lyndsay Buckingham incredible guitar playing. One of the best pickers 🎸
Cryin my eyes out just like I did the days both my daughters grew up and left home....we always called this one of our songs...now I'm a grandma, kids in 30s and we all cry over this song now....keep this one for when they drive off to college or get married or whatever...
Because of this bad world we are in becuz of Biden!!😢
It was a reunion of Fleetwood Mac. And the emotion is real between her and Lindsey Buckingham. They were lovers for many years when they were younger. ❤ They loved as passionate as they fought and it shows in their music

I'm watching you while my 3 yr old granddaughter sleeps in my arms. It does go by quickly.
My granddaughter just turned 14. Amazes me how fast time does fly
@@andreadeamon6419 wow! It does go by. We need to grasp the happiness into our hearts and souls.
Her dad was her biggest fan,,,,,and I think that she dedicated this to him because she felt he supported her unconditionally 💙
My oldest son graduated in 2000. This was their graduation song. Make the time you have count. It goes by in the blink of an eye. I blinked, and it's been 24 years since my oldest baby boy graduated. I'm crying. 😢❤
One of my favorites. I cry every single time. I love this band and always have, I mean my kid is named Rhiannon lol.
That rocking chair comes fast. Enjoy your daughters through all the times.
A guitar,a beautiful voice and two people that know how to write a song. I miss those days
This song means more now that she and Lindsey the guitarist are older. They were a couple before this performance and the relationship was turbulent.

THIS IS A GREAT PERFORMANCE , TOP NOTCH . FYI, THEY WERE A COUPLE IN THE EARLY DAYS !!!
Lindsay Buckingham is SOOOO good on the guitar on this song. His finger picking getting louder and softer to match her voice and adding so many levels as the song builds is truly masterful. Add to that Stevie's voice is perfect on this live version.

This is without a doubt my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. The lyrics are so deep and go straight to the soul, especially as we get older. 73 here.
She actually did write the song for Lindsey, on the guitar that he gave her many years ago. Her dad always thought the song was written for him, so she dedicated it to him every time until he passed away. The last time I saw her do this song in concert, she dedicated it to Lindsey.
I always assumed "daddy" was just the old school hippy chick term for her man used ironically.
@@DavidPChristian2 , nope, her real father, She didn't have the heart to tell him that she had written it for Lindsey.
Stevie wrote this song, as she did most of FMs best songs. People act as if she was an afterthought for them but they'd be nowhere without "Dreams," "Gypsy," "Silver Springs," "Sister of the Moon," "Gold Dust Woman," the amazing "Rhiannon" and more.
This song was actually written when Stevie was young, trying to decide whether to follow her music dream or give it up. Fortunately for us all, as Stevie says "I came here to be a poet!"
You mentioned the look between them, you should watch Silver Springs written by Nicks. The looks between them are very intense. The guitar player, Lindsey Buckingham, is her ex, and it's about the ending of their relationship.
BP...when I was younger an old woman told me, it takes courage to grow old, be strong and hold Jesus' hand.
Well at 66, I know what she was talking about.
You build your life around your family. As the man and father, you choose this day who your house will serve. As for me, I choose the Lord.
Have courage and be a man, choose the Lord and He WILL guide your path.
I love you and your family and keep ya'll in my prayers
Oh 😂, great song by Fleetwod Mac
🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I saw them twice on this tour. I think it was the dance. So frickin amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Always makes me so emotional cuz I m 49 and my daughter is 27. Time flew by so fast
PROBABLY MY FAVORITE JAM BY THEM !!! THANKS FOR SHARING. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD A COVER OF THIS, THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM. A BIG ONE WAS THE DIXIE CHICKS (THE CHICKS) ...
My ex-wife is a huge Fleetwood Mac and when we were married we went out to a restaurant not near our house. On the way "home" from dinner I got "lost", which I've been known to do, and I drove us to a Fleetwood Mac concert that I had secretly bought tickets to. Needless to say she was shocked and we enjoyed a great concert. Now, struggling after the divorce ending our 28 year marriage, the lines: "Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you" have new meaning.
Wow, it is still a beautiful song, after all these years. Lindsey and Stevie just bring it here. The emotion between them has not wavered.❤
This song played in the car after I took my firstborn daughter to the airport to leave for college for the first time and I sobbed on interstate 95 like an insane person. Amazing I made it home safely.
She is enchanting and alluring
Stevie is Enchanting with her voice and beauty.
My very favorite Fleetwood Mac song. I do also low key dig the tension between the band members, dating one another and breaking up, etc. Thank you for reacting to this song. It put a smile on my face and happiness in my heart.
One of the most beautiful women in the world. With a voice that is magical.
I saw them live in Toronto in the early 90s when they reunited and they didn't miss a beat. Stevie was just as gorgeous as ever. Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Great observation. You can see Ms. Nicks' life through the years, on YT, singing this song live from the heyday of Fleetwood Mac some 50 (!) years ago to just a couple of months ago. It's a testament to her legendary status.
Such a beautiful song
This song hits harder as each year passes.
My wife and I went to a Fleetwood mac concert and it was great but I tell you Lindsey Buckingham stole the show! Almost a 2 hr show and he never left the stage when the band took a couple breaks. He stood up there and gave us guitar solos. That man is so underrated. He can absolutely shred the guitar and he's super high energy.
I saw her sing this in March this year. She still sounds amazing!
I had a fleet wood mac album 💿 as a teen . Have always loved all music 🎶 💚💚💚🦠🦠
They were friends for several years after eating in high school & were a couple from 71-77 but the love between them in their youth has always been in the background of their performances
Brings back a lot of memories , I'm 74 . two years ago I felt 25 , time flies
This is a timeless song and timeless performance. This was recorded in 1997 - and Stevie wrote this in 1976 - about her breakup with the guy playing the guitar Lyndsay Buckingham. She built her life around him and he cheated on her - and she wrote this song. The song *_Silver Springs_* is the companion song to this one - and in it - at the end - she's basically screaming at him. More than Epic. One of the top performances of all time.
My wife's favorite artist is Stevie Nicks. She loves her style of clothes as well. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤
The saddest thing is realizing how fast time goes by. You know when we’re young we wish the days away because we can’t wait to meet the milestones of a young life, not realizing as we’re wishing that time away our parents or loved ones are getting older as well. Love everyone around you. Take in everything you can about them. Visit them every chance you get and listen to their stories every time because in the end that’s all you’ll have.
I saw Fleetwood Mac live, in the late 8:39 70’s, in an outdoor stadium, in a crowd that was oversold by 8000 tickets. Anyway, I was standing right at the front by the stage when 2 humongous speakers were blown over by the gale force winds luckily they had tied the speakers to the platform so they didn’t come crashing down on the audience. It was an incredible concert despite the overcrowding and the speakers incident.
When I saw her here in Maine in 2022, when she did this song, the whole place was hushed except for everyone softly singing along. It was such a beautiful moment.
Saw Fleetwood Mac 8 years ago and they were awesome. Saw them again with Christine McVie in their last tour with all members and despite their age they were just as good as they were when they were younger. Brings back loads of memories. Love your reactions, thanks for sharing.
I love her voice; back in the seventies, I had the biggest crush on her. Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac have so many great songs. Rhiannon is still my favorite, but this one always brings tears to my eyes.
I am 68 almost 69 and this transports be back to those days. Love this song. Love your reaction!
She's a great story teller with her music and her voice is pretty much the same today. Always a treat to listen to and watch her.
I'm still in love with Stevie!!
This is my absolute favorite version of this song.
1 of my favorites,beautiful song!!!!🫶🥰🎵🎶🌹💜🔮💖
You are getting a music education doing these reactions. From childhood to now (75) I’ve had the honor of listening to everything from classical to opera to pop to rock to blues to soul to Motown to country to hip hop to rap to metal. There’s something soul changing in all of it.
Loved your reaction! This song always makes me cry just a little.
This song worked for me as a teen and now I'm over 60 and it still works.. this is what makes this song lyrical magic. Stevie is now 76 yrs old
Silver Springs (official live video) is a must BP...
This is from a VH1 special. The entire concert is a must see.
Yay!! I'm so happy u got to this one! One of my absolute favorite Fleetwood Mac songs! ❤
I love Fleetwood Mac and watching your reactions to their songs!
I have to say that I heard this song years ago and it made me think of my grandfather, then over the years it became my parents and then my son... Everyone older and younger can relate at different places in their life. I'm very impressed with this reaction. Thank you.
I was a sophmore when this came out. I got to drr thrm perform at Richfiled Collisseum in Ohio in the 90's. FF to today--I'm almost 64--this hits home in more ways than ever now.
I love this live version! She is an amazing writer and performer!!! Lindsey is so flicking good on the guitar as usual!!!! Damn!
I keep checking back to see if you’ve reacted to Fleetwood Mac Silver Springs (Official Live Video) HD. Strength, beauty, class…powerful.
Another important song by a female artist, written for her father, is Tori Amos- "Winter"
Her live performance in 1991 is one of the most iconic live performance ever.
Great reaction. Life is a blink of an eye, it goes so quickly especially the older you get. Enjoy your family. Make each moment count ❤
This song has made me cry since 1975! 💖💖💖
I saw Stevie Nicks in concert a few months ago. It was one of the top 3 concerts of my life! She is one of the greatest mainstream songwriters of our time, but hee best collab was hands down "Stand Back", which was composed by Prince! Stevie Nicks is an amazing human being.
Not really a collaboration. She wrote her song over Prince's song she heard on the radio. Her producer Jimmy Iovine knew if it went out like that she'd be sued (how she didn't get sued by The Police for taking their riff for Edge of 17 is a wonder) so he called Prince who was a huge FM fan - so he came in and played synths on it. He wanted no named credit but took 50% of the royalties.
Friends and I were slated to see her in the SF Bay Area the night of the Loma Prieta Earthquake. Luckily, she came back for us the following year. What a fun concert. 🌸🌸🌸
From this same concert, you have GOT to listen/watch (react if you wish) to Silver Springs! The vocal duo and harmonies of Stevie and Lindsey are amazing. Then knowing the history behind the lyrics and their relationship makes it SO much more intense. Epic performance.
My very most favorite from Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey is a master❤❤❤❤
Your comments made me think about this song in a way that I never did before. You've for sure gained the respect of this 74 year old recent subscriber.
Man, your reaction was so pure and honest. This is one of the most amazingly special reaction videos I've ever seen. I'm subscribing to your channel. Thanks for being willing to share your emotions in the moment and not turn it off. It was beautiful. I love this song as well. The song, Stevie Nicks, and Fleetwood Mac are all very special to me. I discovered them in my early teens. Btw, Bonnie Raitt's "Nick of Time" leaves me with a similar feeling. I think you'd like both the lyrics and the vibe. Hope you get a chance to check that one out.
This is my favorite version of this song, and I’ve seen them live twice in the early 80s in LA.
I don't know your exact age, but much younger than I am I assure you. I would give my left one to be your age again. I'm currently watching my two grandchildren while my wife and daughter are away. I know you're aware of these things, but let me reiterate. Live in the present, in the now. Enjoy every second of every moment. None of us know what tomorrow will bring and life moves at breakneck speed and gets away from us. You graduate high school and before you know it your looking at retirement, kids are grown and raising the next generation and you realize your in the home stretch. The message of this song and others like it have more meaning and relatability than ever before.
This song always brings tears to my eyes
My favorite song thank you and have a blessed day
I sang this at my Daughter's going away party last year with her boyfriend playing guitar. Because I used to sing my kids to sleep when they were babies to it. Stevie has been my idol since the 70's. If I could write a song with one person in the world it would be Stevie. My other favorite of her's with Fleetwood Mac is "Gold Dust Woman"
i saw them live on this reunion tour in San Francisco. It was the year I got married. wonderful show.
So amazing!🎉
Just saw her in concert last week she she is awesome she wrote this while at a friend's house in the rockies
Landslide was a deep cut on the 1975 album. It was a fan favorite during concerts, with the audience giving Stevie standing ovations for her emotional performance. It became legendary with other artists covering it, in the 80s and 90s. The Mac didn't release it as a single until 1997, with this performance. The song was written by Stevie about Lindsey. She expresses her fears about their relationship, using the metaphor of a Landslide.
This whole concert is perfect!!!
I just saw her sing this live in November. Trust me she still has it.
This came out on the radio right about when my son was graduating high school. Seemed every time I got in the car it came on the radio and mommy cried. Now I'm 66 and he's 48. He's 3000 miles away and yep he got older and I got older too. Getting older kinda' hurts but it sure beats the alternative :)
I just saw Stevie Nicks with Billy Joel last Friday at Soldier Field, and at 76 and 75 years old they put on one helluva show and both still sounded great!
As you get older, you see yourself in every thing around you... everything that happens to you in your life becomes part of you.. family friends experiences... you see your reflection in them.. like her dad.. obviously when you lose them, it's like a landslide brings it all down.. just when you start to realize all that... it is sad... Great reaction. 😊
