When this was released in '75, I was just 15 years old. I promised myself that if I ever had a daughter I'd name her Rhiannon. In '78 I did have a daughter and that is what I named her...she was a beautiful baby, a beautiful child and a beautiful young woman. We only had her for 36 years and our lives have never been the same since she went awol...love and treasure your children always because you just never know what tomorrow will bring. Rhiannon Eve (Renz, Rezza) 1978-2014
In her intro to the song on the 1980 Fleetwood Mac Live album Nicks says "This is a song about a Welsh witch". (Not quite true. Nicks learned the name from a novel she read then later about the Welsh witch and goddess tale of the same name.) This fascinated her and she later researched more about Rhiannon. Really sad about your loss. I'm sure your Rhiannon was as hauntingly beautiful as Stevie's.
@@nineball039 Thank you for that my friend, it means heaps to me. Our girl died in a car crash over in Dampier WA...such a dreadful waste of life. And just as in the lyrics Stevie sings, Rhiannon's now like a bird in flight to be taken by the wind where ever she wants to go...Arohanui from New Zealand
@@x-75hurricane65 - So sad. Perhaps fittingly, "Nicks wrote the Fleetwood Mac song " _Angel_ " based on the Rhiannon story." (wikipedia) I saw the band in Boston (the states) where Stevie performed _Rhiannon_ . Alas, the venue was an old hockey rink where music sounded terrible. May your Rhiannon fly like an angel as well as a bird.
Stevie I dont know if you will ever see this , but since it is your channel I hope you do one day . I saw you on this tour in Houston with Joe Walsh . We locked eyes for just a moment out back as you were getting into your car . That was a moment I will never forget .. I called out your name and you turned to look and smiled at me before getting in . I have always felt an unexplainable connection to you ever since . Next to my mom , now dancing in the universe , you are my hero . I just wanted to tell you that I love you .. you and your music will always be a huge part of me ! Love and peace forever and ever . Debi xo
I absolutely love this version. I hear her heart breaking in every note... she is singing about her best friend who passed jn my opinion but i can’t confirm. There is a Rhiannon in all of us ... strong fearless woman. Xx
For a long time my wife listened to Stevie and I sat back there and learned the lyrics and started singing her songs Too this day she is the best I Love Her and my wife !!!
Yeah Stevie was wasted beyond repair for this performance but her friend Robyn Snider had passed recently and the pressure of the tour also had her feeling very fragile so I understand why she didn't perform as well as she normally would. I mean holy fuck she's a human being!!!! Give her credit for even going on stage. The life of a Rock star has tremendous perks and lots of money but its extremely hard work also. The road alone will test your endurance and can also play mind games on you. You have to be incredibly strong to sustain that lifestyle. Stevie Nicks is a SURVIVOR!!!! She loves her fans. Im sure she felt bad that this performance wasn't her best. Personally I love Stevie Nicks no matter what. I truly am her BIGGEST fan.
@@miss.cellanous8610 almost as if singers arent robots who perform perfectly every single time they enter stage 😳😳 get a grip, she was going through a horrendous period of her life this wasnt long after she lost her childhood friend to cancer so yes im sure her voice was roughed up from crying and trauma, go watch an “early stevie” video and 🖕off!
The reason why was because at the time this festival was taken, her best friend Robin passed away from a cancer related illness, they've been best friends since they were in highschool, that's why she was so emotional
This is a testament to what it cost someone to be a rock star at the time, but you know what, you can also see the depth of strength that she used to survive it and much worse to come. No wonder her music can heal the brokenhearted.
She was tired and probably in a bad place at this moment...but if you want to hear a perfect version listen to your classic rock station. This performance was perfect for this moment because it was her performance.
At 5:53 You see that Stevie is crying. She wore her heart on her sleeve and in a business that is filled with scumbags that can be emotionally dangerous. Part of me thinks Stevie was destined to end up like Janis Joplin and it pains me to say that. Then our creator said" Wait, This is Stevie, I can't do that and She fought like hell to keep on keeping on. She paid a heavy price for loving both in and out of the band and she truly loved the love she received from the fans and didn't take them for granted. Stevie was a little girl trapped in a Rock Stars body. . .. God bless you Stevie. I know you read these messages because your only human. We love you so much and you have been part of our lives and we will never forget. Honest.
Her bestfriend her whole life fucking died and her label was pushing her to make another album and she released her album right after touring with fleetwood then went straight on this tour. Its literally killed her and she was turning to drugs to cope. It is EXTREMELY HARD. To be an artists. Especially one that writes her own songs. Its such an emotional toll. So leave her alone. Shes fighting here. More then you know.
I love Rhiannon, and Stevie Nicks, but I personally feel that she’s much better at this song now. Her voice is clearly affected by her drug use. It kind of upsets me too. I’m so happy her voice is so much better now. I’ve seen her live before and am about to again.
I was there with my girlfriend that day, but she lost a flipflop, so we had to leave while the sun was still up so she wouldn't step on glass. Saw all Quarterflash, Missing Persons, U2 and some of Berlin's set. Still have the Jersey 40 years later. The drive home up I-5 was fun in the 450SL passing car loads of other concert attendees
Ellen Morelli her worst performance of that song that I’ve seen, and I think Stevie would be the first to agree with me. She was real fucked up in this time of her life.
Just because anyone with any ear at all can tell this is garbage doesn’t mean they were wrong for giving it a chance. Based on better performance people were hoping to see another variation of it. Calling this crap is absolutely correct, and if that offends you maybe YOU shouldn’t be reading.
@@Eleventhearlofmars Think she loss her best friend to cancer before she went on stage & that explains her performance here. Something you might learn if you would do that thing called research, Jackass!
If you watch this whole thing there was a couple of times where she almost lost it. It was very sad I hate it when people bash her about her performance
if you watch the whole performance from the beginning (of her set) she was really strong in the beginning. her voice especially. as the set grew, her voice got fried (and her, too). it happened at some point after gypsy…by leather and lace it was becoming apparent lol.
I applaud any TRUE Stevie fan who doesn't say"Oh I love you my Queen" when she has given a truly crap performance. Stevie herself would absolutely CRINGE AND DOUBLE CRINGE looking at this. knowing what a perfectionist she is. I mean holy hell she does vocal exercises before she goes onstage NOW!
Not the best, but.....Not the worst. She looks really sick, tired, and "the rest". But I still find it fortunate enough to have even THESE memories documented in "live concert."
She looks more sad than sick, shows huge love for the fans. This is at the end of the coke days, she knew very bad times were coming. Powerful performance.
I’ve seen her perform other songs at the US festivals but somehow I’ve missed this one. It’s actually upsetting, because something is clearly wrong with her for this performance. My husband is chanting “it's the coke” No way. At that time she always performed on coke and never seemed to hurt her performance, maybe even enhance it, sad to say. Then again, maybe there was no coke and she was dopesick. But I doubt there wasn’t plenty of coke Available at the US festival for her. It something ELSE happening that night and it makes me sad because I believe she is either very emotional, or maybe sick. I’m Trying to recall what was significant in her life at the time. Could it have been around the time Robin died? I know she was touring when robin passed. But at some moments here you see her eyes look teary. She really looks like she just needs to at home surrounded by loved ones, a big cup of tea and lots of hugs. I feel like she’s feeling so lonely up there and can’t pull it together, and this was a BIG event for her career. She would work really hard not to flub it. I would LOVE any inside knowledge of what happened to make her put on a bad performance, that is just NOT Stevie. Just out of curiosity I’ve search for “Stevie bad performance” and could never find one until this disaster. Anyone can have a bad day. But this is so unlike her, listless, sad, terribly off time and key. You can tell she is miserable and knew it and probably felt badly disappointing fans. Someone must know. I’d be pleased to just hear “she had the flu” or something, but I think it was something way more sad and that makes me sad.
Terri she had inflamed nodes on her vocal cords. Her doctor told her to cancel tour dates so he could remove the swollen nodes but Stevie didn't want to do that so she shredded her vocal cords night after night. Most of the tour she sounded Ok even though it was still painful to sing. This was just a bad night and a very important night so she went on ANYWAYS hoping to get through it Ok. Stevie Nicks loves her fans and she never wants to disappoint them. Brave lady in my opinion.
Wow! What's up with all the criticism? So it might not be the greatest live performance of Rhiannon for everyone. But if they were all perfect, we could just sit at home and listen to the LP versions. There'd be no need for live performances, no variety. It'd all be boring. Anyway...LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! 🔮
She was totally wasted. Parts of the song she looked like she was gonna fall over. She forgot words but they did that a lot, false starts. There are several of the videos were they were too wasted. Lol.
OK I want to say as much as I love seeing Stevie in concert in 1983 as I remember her, this is not the best audio for the wild heart time period.. check out some of the RUclips videos that are just music no video for the wild heart tour 1983.
Excuse I meant Tusk "Sara" and "Sister of the Moon" and don't forget her little performance of "Wild Heart" with Lori when she's getting her make up put on and the little documentary of her recording (with Iovine) :After the Glitter Fades" and "In the still of the Night" those and the other ones I mentioned are fucking awesome NOT 1983 US, Red Rock, and the 1983 "Wild Heart" tour where she's swinging that kid around. There were many times she fell off the stage, crashed into the stage lights and passed out so please none of that "There is no one like you my ancient Queen" crap!!
OMG I just watched this again. WOW! "Biiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrd in fliiiiiight Look at Bob Glaub trying to help her and she just goes over and starts kissing him. Then she just walks around dazed!!! She cannot not hit one note and looks like she hasn't slept for days because.........SHE HASN'T!
muffin6369 she was fried...but if you had to travel all over the world for years singing the same songs over and over and being the show pony ridden hard and put away wet..and deal with all the star machinery trickery crookery crap .... i bet you would habe to toot a few white lines and slug down a cocktail or two..eh?? Thank God she didn't kill herself though...eh??
Blue Bird But she has admitted that she didn't want to get off "The White Horse"and she had THREE more horrible years with OMG Joe Walsh where she said they were killing themselves. She made choices BB well she did and Irv Azoff. She loved touring. I read both books you should read them.
Also BB Iovine had left by now because he couldn't take her drug use. From White Wing Dove in 81 to this 83. But she has always said bless her that she was the worst of the worst drug addicts. And I do know what that is like. Other people could stop but I never could be it blow or booze. I was always the last one at the mirror!
muffin6369 I just hope and pray you can recover from all the pain watching this video caused YOU. I think SN should personally come to your hospital room and beg you to forgive her.:((((((((
She looks and sounds like she's been up for WEEKS!!!!! What's with the crouching over the mike like she's three feet tall. Just listlessly wandering around the stage. OMG!!! Kissing Bob Glaub and waving at Kunkel!!Atrocious!!
I'll never Never stop loving you my queen take me with you I sang you all my life you are my life my everything rock on forever and ever you BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL GOOD witch my queen take me with you
I've been watching the Stevie Nicks videos from this event and although she looks stunning, she's obviously not all there. I'm not making fun of her at all...just saying it looks like she's drunk or high. And she looks depressed. I know how depression can grip someone...happens to me too. I just sorta feel sorry for her watching these videos.
She'd be the first one to say to her fans who have no discerning ears who applaud all....."Hey my fans this Ancient Queen wants to know what in the fucking hell you're listening to!!!!She would not appreciate the unconditional praise of every single thing she's ever done especially the crap!
This performance sounds really bad? She looks extremely tired. And I am a hardcore fan for over 40 years. First video I came across, where this performance is awful..if she could only see this disaster...on stage. She would be like...oh my God!!! She needs rest and maybe this was when she was on coke too?

I saw her with Joe Walsh too. He opened for her. It was fantastic. I've seen her 3 times and Mac 2xs.
I named my cat Rhiannon. She died in 2003. The slow intro is totally about my beloved Rhiannon who left us too soon.
I absolutely love this version. I hear her heart breaking in every note... she is singing about her best friend who passed jn my opinion but i can’t confirm. There is a Rhiannon in all of us ... strong fearless woman. Xx
Once in a million years a lady like her~ rises~ ♥ Love you Stevie, our Rhiannon.
I was there in that crowd somewhere. She did a wonderful show as always...Love You Stevie.

thank you for the explanation ss this Hurt my heart to see. 😢
She sounds so emotional here like she’s holding back tears with every line, it’s so powerful it makes me want to cry too
@Kyril J at 5:53 she was crying though
I’d cry too if I’d put out this terrible,flat version of this song! And I love the early Stevie!!

My mother named me after this song Melissa Rhiannon Garcia❤️ Stevie is my all time favorite artist. I will pass this music on when I have children.
I love Stevie so much. I've never heard her voice so rough. She must've been going thru some tough stuff. No ones perfect, she Will always be loved💖
This recording was not long after Stevie Nicks lost her best friend Robyn Snyder Anderson to cancer.
There is no other like Stevie Nicks...Soulful, emotional & a real artist
The era of Stevie in the early 80’s. ‘I still see your bright eyes’
I WAS THERE
It was EPIC
Still wear my T-shirt
Drove from NM
It's got to be overwhelming when 85.000 people come just to see you and your music. Man what a high body stone. 🇨🇦🕊🌷
Oh snap, I wasn't expecting this song to kick it up 100 notches and turn into a rock version. This is great 🔥🔥🔥

Whatever you do if you get the chance..don't bring young kids in case the guitar player is with her.. he's a ped
Love you forever! Thank you so much for your songs and your stories...

My gosh, that's a beautiful performance.

This guitarist kicks ass.
Her best friend had just passed from cancer and I believe it was from crying. She is amazing regardless.

I love you Stevie
This was just before she went into rehab. And look at her today ! Amazing.
@ CAT LOVER"WE DO RECOVER ".#HAPPY NEW YEAR🎊
This is 3 years before she went to rehab
She went in after her Rock a Little Tour. She almost twirled off the stage when I saw her in Lincoln, NE on that tour. She definitely needed help.
Stevie you are my beautiful girl with those sleepy eyes. Forever!!!
She's so beautiful!
Stevie is gorgeous ❤
Complete exhaustion from the worst year of her life and on tour at the same time.
She's a beauty
Awesome
i love nick
Rock Star nothing will stop he from going on and performing!!! NOTHING!!! So out of it but i love it!!
I think this must of been after her friend Robin died. She's very emotional here. Love you Stevie
Yan de mis más grandes artistas a quien respeto admiro y para mí la mejor de lejos.
You are VERY VERY Special to me my Queen
She's singing for Robin here.
❤ you
if you watch the whole performance from the beginning (of her set) she was really strong in the beginning. her voice especially. as the set grew, her voice got fried (and her, too). it happened at some point after gypsy…by leather and lace it was becoming apparent lol.

I always pay attention to comments from perfect people...
I like it because of the emotion
I love Stevie for her passion and emotion. Not her perfection.
She was heartbroken from her friend here
Not the best, but.....Not the worst. She looks really sick, tired, and "the rest". But I still find it fortunate enough to have even THESE memories documented in "live concert."
She looks more sad than sick, shows huge love for the fans. This is at the end of the coke days, she knew very bad times were coming. Powerful performance.
Love how they slowed it down
This wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be by one person's comments on another song.

And a true artist must perform :)
These are heavy drug yrs thats why
her eyes look so sad :((
omg they totally do :( This just breaks my heart for her
She was totally wasted. Parts of the song she looked like she was gonna fall over. She forgot words but they did that a lot, false starts. There are several of the videos were they were too wasted. Lol.
This is an old comment, but I believe her best friend Robin died of leukemia a couple months before this performance
Wow
Dreams are fine .but love is a state of mind.so true .
Wow, the pain showing through here. Poor thing.
Is that Roy Bittan on Piano?
Brian Kushner yep
A lot of people forget there people just like us...

Was something going on between her and the bassist? She immediately went to him for comfort
I don't think so
I’m sure they were probably close. He’s the one who went to help her
No they were just really good friends
She was probably banging everyone ..she was a dirty slut back the

muffin6369 she was fried...but if you had to travel all over the world for years singing the same songs over and over and being the show pony ridden hard and put away wet..and deal with all the star machinery trickery crookery crap .... i bet you would habe to toot a few white lines and slug down a cocktail or two..eh?? Thank God she didn't kill herself though...eh??
Blue Bird But she has admitted that she didn't want to get off "The White Horse"and she had THREE more horrible years with OMG Joe Walsh where she said they were killing themselves. She made choices BB well she did and Irv Azoff. She loved touring. I read both books you should read them.
Also BB Iovine had left by now because he couldn't take her drug use. From White Wing Dove in 81 to this 83. But she has always said bless her that she was the worst of the worst drug addicts. And I do know what that is like. Other people could stop but I never could be it blow or booze. I was always the last one at the mirror!
muffin6369 I just hope and pray you can recover from all the pain watching this video caused YOU. I think SN should personally come to your hospital room and beg you to forgive her.:((((((((
She and you are beyond lucky nobody gave you opiates then, nobody is walking away from that, they just clean up for a while at a time.
She looks and sounds like she's been up for WEEKS!!!!! What's with the crouching over the mike like she's three feet tall. Just listlessly wandering around the stage. OMG!!! Kissing Bob Glaub and waving at Kunkel!!Atrocious!!
Actually, I’ve noticed Stevie does the crouching stance when she’s noticeably high..
She was just going through the motions
Is that Dee Snider on guitar?!
Weird AL Yankovic
It's Waddy Wachtel, he played with a number of artists.
Ya .
6:48 toms glory
i think the piano part is the best
She was crying
Is this song about the death of a friend or sibling?
The song itself was not about it, but Stevie had just lost her best friend here, so I’d wager she’s thinking about her
so sad
I'll never Never stop loving you my queen take me with you I sang you all my life you are my life my everything rock on forever and ever you BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL GOOD witch my queen take me with you
🙄🙄🙄🙄STOP
??
I've been watching the Stevie Nicks videos from this event and although she looks stunning, she's obviously not all there. I'm not making fun of her at all...just saying it looks like she's drunk or high. And she looks depressed. I know how depression can grip someone...happens to me too. I just sorta feel sorry for her watching these videos.
Don’t ever feel sorry for nicks, she’s a truly shitty excuse for a human being. Good songs tho.
@@jrockner957 Did she do something to u?u sound burned
@@cherokeeheartct8633 Will he reply ?
I'm GOD
I love Fleetwood Mac but this is bad. She seems drunk or high. Look at the 75’ - 76’ live versions of this song. She’s killing it.
4:55 her eyes are crying .
Yes she seems tired but I guarantee there has to be some cocaine in here somewhere. Love them forever though! Seen them 3 times!
She'd be the first one to say to her fans who have no discerning ears who applaud all....."Hey my fans this Ancient Queen wants to know what in the fucking hell you're listening to!!!!She would not appreciate the unconditional praise of every single thing she's ever done especially the crap!
All of her tambourines were deadened with gaffers tape. They were used so she would have something to do with her hands. Is that what you mean?
No idea
I love Stevie really i am a huge fan but Stevie here sounds pretty bad
fu
This performance sounds really bad? She looks extremely tired. And I am a hardcore fan for over 40 years. First video I came across, where this performance is awful..if she could only see this disaster...on stage. She would be like...oh my God!!! She needs rest and maybe this was when she was on coke too?
Yes. She didnt stop the coke use until 1986.
She looks so tired, sigh.
Tired LOL Up for fucking weeks and can't hit a note! Wandering around the stage in a daze.
She’s so, in her elements. 💯
@@muffin6369 her best friend was dying around this time- show some respect Jesus
Lady wrapped in a curtain or a table cloth of some sort singing like she hadn't had any sleep in days and she gets cheers for looking good
