Such a beautiful rendition of a Beach Boy's Classic....Its so haunting and simple and some how really brings out he beauty and majesty of such a simple song.
1980 was an exciting year for Fleetwood Mac as well as me. 20 yrs old and the future was bright for us all; partied without a care in the world or a future plan 😎😎🎉🎉
This song speaks to me in a language that cannot be put into words. I wore out 2 cassettes of FM Live listening to this, Sara Live and Fireflies back in 1980. Dreams do come true.
geez, i'm out of weed... i would have gone amazingly far... I can't stop listening to this song. Words and harmonies, the sound of the voices make me feel something so deep inside i can't focus... it is so evocative
Don't know what it is about this song and especially this version, but I have loved it like an anthem since I heard it over thirty years ago. Thanks for the compilation of images. What a group.
What an unexpected treat it was to find this sweet & lovely song at the end of Fleetwood Mac's Live album forty-some years ago. It quickly became one of my favorites. I had no idea at the time that it was an old Beach Boys song. I love the beach boys, but I gotta say, I prefer this version. The girls touch is so soft & alluring.
Amazing to think F-Mac started as a Blues Band in the 60's. I Iove all (or most) of their music. They really evolved, just by their creative Muse. I think after Tusk with Lindsey experimenting, they did actually anticipate New Wave music. As a band of their stature at the time, they would not be able to particepate since they were part of the Olde Guarde. But they knew it was happening, and they ... subsequently went different directions to make different records and still stay relevant. Sorry I never got to see them. Even Steve Jones Loves St. Nicks :)
.....like on “Love in Store”....they had a synergy on some tracks that was amazing....all 5 together , not just a Stevie track or a Christine track.....yes,yes, I know it’s a Beach Boys cover.....
You, dear reader, will undoubtedly be utterly fascinated to learn that for me this piece of peace is one of those rare cover versions that is better than the original. Thank you in advance for your understanding. ;-)
You listen to this and thats the only name you think of?? Haha.. she had NOTHING to do with how this sounds or even the inspiration to do it. Its pure Lindsey Buckingham
Everyone on here saying they prefer the Beach Boys original version... Not me. I've never been a big fan of the Beach Boys. The surfer type music that they are known for, playing in the background, and the high pitched vocals. Well I couldn't finish listening to it...😒 This here, has a much richer sound. And I love the harmonies in Fleetwood Mac's version. Not to mention the beat. Sounds almost tribal...
@@subg8858 ~ When I listened to their version. It didn't have that hard hitting beat like FWM's version does. It was weak, with that same old Beach Boys surfer sound in the background, heard in all their music. Very different from Fleetwood Mac...
@@sheatiller2465 ~ I've heard "Surf's Up". I don't like the vocals on it at all. I just don't care for most of the Beach Boys music, with the exception of a few tracks...
@@Deborahtunes Huh, to me it’s just the earlier stuff where I found the vocals more of an acquired taste. Out of curiosity did you like Blondie Chaplin’s vocals at all on Holland?
It is from "Live" from 1980. As I recall being told at the time, this was a soundcheck recording of the band just having some fun. The smattering of applause was the crew at the soundcheck being blown away by what they had just heard. They ultimately decided to put it on the album. Someone can correct me if my recollection is wrong.
It is not ugly clothing, it's beautiful clothing, and I'm quite sure thought out. To be clear, also a magical and beautiful song. Go look yourself in a mirror.
This is one of the most perfect harmonies ever.

Yes i love Fireflies as well as thing. 1980 was an exciting time for Fleetwood mac and me. Had a great youth! Now im old n wise n silly 🤭🙋🏼♀️💕🤣
One of the best covers ever. True to the original
Great harmonies and love the bass
I know this is a 1963-64 Beach Boys song, and I'm a BB fan, but this my favorite FMACK recording of all time.

Thanks! I have always loved this song! Great job putting that together!!
You're welcome Kibuls !! Thanks for your comment !
First time hearing this; takes me back to 1963.Really nice cover, thanks for posting!
GREAT mix on this posting --
really brought out that Duane Eddy - surfy / twangy style bass.
LOVED it.

Love this, thank you
Absolutely fantastic, and I am a big Fleetwood Mac fan, but I prefer Brian Wilson's version better.
Roger Auclair
You can only pay homage to Brian, you can not improve upon his mastery!
Beach, love your enthusiasm, makes me glad for posting this song. Thank you again for your comments
RIP Christine McVie
so so good
.....like on “Love in Store”....they had a synergy on some tracks that was amazing....all 5 together , not just a Stevie track or a Christine track.....yes,yes, I know it’s a Beach Boys cover.....
Amaré por siempre esta canción 💕
This Mick Wilbury post of this recording by FMACK is the best audio version, and the video is great too.
masterpiece.
Vladimír Dvořák AWESOME !!!
interesting and credible cover of a Brian Wilson song but I prefer his version.
I've yet to hear a Beach Boy Cover that is anywhere near as good as the original!
@@stevenfrolich2621 , but this comes close.
@@countrypaul
I do like this version. Takes a couple of listens.
You, dear reader, will undoubtedly be utterly fascinated to learn that for me this piece of peace is one of those rare cover versions that is better than the original.

Brian's Falsetto not even touched by this version....but nice effort!
Stevie Nicks.....OMG....
pbh665........She'd make a great Farmer's Daughter, even today !!! 9-25-17

@@Deborahtunes it’s not heard in nearly all of their music. Have you heard Surf’s Up, Holland, or…well really any song or album after Party?
@@sheatiller2465 ~ I've heard "Surf's Up". I don't like the vocals on it at all. I just don't care for most of the Beach Boys music, with the exception of a few tracks...

God what a great song , fucking Brian ❤
is this from the live album?
I don't think so
André Ferrari 1980 live you hear some applause at the end
It is from "Live" from 1980. As I recall being told at the time, this was a soundcheck recording of the band just having some fun.

@@countrypaul they faded it out you cant hear the crew
For my money, The Beach Boys are the greatest pop band of all time. Still, I prefer Fmac's version of this song.
Mick Wilbury- I heard that. Increase the ears of blondes...
Ugly clothing aside, this is a GREAT version of this song! Essentially voices, bass, and drums -- go figure.
:)
It is not ugly clothing, it's beautiful clothing, and I'm quite sure thought out. To be clear, also a magical and beautiful song. Go look yourself in a mirror.
1958Shemp.........You mean DRUMS !!! I think Cher and Sonny already did a song about "pounding" drums??? 9-25-17
So go change your clothes.
Nice cover, but what's up with the overpowering drums?? Was drummer getting paid by the decibel??? 9-25-17
uh...it's Mic Fleetwood? from Fleetwood Mac? have you ever listened to them?
Sounds fabulous to me. I like this, but not the original...
something I have been thinking for years now it's so the first time I'm uttering it-- WHO GAY'ED UP LINDSEY?!!!?!? still love him though.
Yes, go figure ! Simple and perfect, ugly clothes aside...lol. Thank you for your comment
I don't like it.
