Who's here in 2024 listening to this masterpiece?
My life story.
Yup
I be listening to the music.
Yup
At least a few times a year.
Here’s the deal. You either love Fleetwood Mac, or you’re wrong. It’s not that hard to comprehend.
Amennnnn
It feels good to be right. It sounds even better.
Yerp
Lol!
I like Fleetwood Mac.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Lynsay Buckingham is. He’s playing the song without a pick and sounding clean! Do people realise how hard that is?
Yes is the best
yes its the famous Mark Knopfler style...very difficult to master, the thumb plays the bass notes and the rest the melody...tough as fuck./
@@antoineagagiors4013 It's really common, just not heard so much in classic rock. The masters of this style go back a long way, especially to traditional blues. My own personal modern favourite was Kelly Joe Phelps (also a masterful fingerpicking lap slide player) but he left us recently too young. czcams.com/video/7aSCeN01BFA/video.html
Yeah the way Lyndsay fingerpicks is a completely unique style. Which means that even guitarists who are experienced fingerpickers can't play his songs, without a _HELL_ of a lot of practice because he fingerpicks backwards, in a way. It's like how drummers say that it's incredibly hard to play like Ringo Starr did, and he's so highly respected amongst drummers because of that. It was partly because he played a left handed drum set while being right handed, so everything he played was "backwards". And he just has such an insanely gold sense of rhythm and groove that is very difficult to replicate. Also he used the drums as a songwriter, instead of as a drummer. You can recognise every single Beatles song just by listening to the drums, with everything else muted, because each song had a completely unique drum beat.
Lyndsay Buckingham is the same way but for guitar. The way he played was completely unique, completely his own. And it's very difficult to learn how to fingerpick backwards, like he does, if you've only ever fingerpicked in the traditional styles. You kinda have to throw out everything you've learned already, and start from scratch. And even then it's very difficult, but then also having to _SING_ at the same time is next to impossible for some tracks without a great deal of practice. His live solo version of Big Love is a particularly good example. It's absolutely insane playing.
Buckingham is one of the top 10 guitarists ever in any genre. He has never got the respect or recognition that he really deserves.
under rated guitarist. All his solos are memorable
I don’t think people realize how difficult it is to fingerpick a guitar like that… absolutely insane. Lindsey Buckingham will forever remain one of the most underrated guitarists ever.
Dude picks it like a banjo. It's amazing
Spot on bro
I don't think he's so underrated anymore...getting a lot of recognitions nowadays...and rightfully so
Not only that, but a pretty great singer too, and doing it all at once
Absolutely ... he's fantastic!!!
RIP Christine. Thanks for bring us peace with your gorgeous voice

She was the Songbird ❤
So sad! She will be missed. Thanks for the memories, Christine!
She was under appreciated for her talent.
@@mandersonfilm She was absolutely appreciated for her talent. We lost a icon.
Lindsey and Stevie singing AT each other gives me chills every single time. And I was born almost a decade after they recorded Rumours.
Watching it and it’s pretty clear there’s some hatred flying around even then
Same and I was born 33 years after they made it
2009 baby
She’s signing at him. He’s ignoring her. As it should be.
LA 1982 is my favorite version for that exact reason
You forgot Christine Mcvie awsome singer to.
As a drummer, the look on Mick Fleetwood’s face when he’s playing is so real to me, it completely evokes the emotion that I feel too when I play this song
I put Mick up there at the very top of the list of best drummers, I mean no one can beat Neil Peart but Mick is right up there with him, IMHO
20 years ago I was at a Fleetwood Mac gig in Oberhausen/ Germany, in the front row. I was able to see, through a small gap, that there was a second drummer hidden under the stage, who played exactly the same drum parts (same movements) like Mick. Wow, that surprised me. Anyway, I love Fleetwood Mac and I love Mick Fleetwood.
common drummer face everywhere tbh
@@rockfilmNot really surprising there's a "support band" tbh, thickens up the sound. Saw them in 2015 it was the same.
I mean this 100% as a compliment: He looks like a Muppet.
Rest in Peace Christine McVie.
The fact that this is about Stevie’s and Lindsay’s breakup and they’re still able to sing together 20 years later... phew the power they have.
Hippie's.
they dont sing together anymore
it wasnt only about them.
I just liked this comment to be Like No. 100
she divorced his ass and made him stay in the band lol
Lindsey Buckingham... Severely underrated guitarist, plain and simple. He played some of the most creative licks I've ever heard.
Almost a crime how much his skill goes under the radar
@@l.christinejones8164 Underrated guitarist... because most don't know about his skills on the guitar. He's never in any top lists (of course Lukather isn't either and he's one of the finest guitarists to have picked up an ax).
@@l.christinejones8164 Uhm, I'm 44 years old, grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, in addition to Lindsey's work with Stevie before... I'm far from just discovering Lindsey Buckingham.
Look at the lists and where he ranks. For example, he was at 100 on RS top 100 guitarists of all time... And look who was put ahead of him. Look at where he ranks on other lists as well. He better than the bottom of a list, and he's overshadowed in some eyes by guitarists with lots of bells, whistles and frills rather than looking at his ability, innovation, rig and technique. In addition, people that know Fleetwood Mac don't think of Lindsey (only those true musical connoisseurs who truly know all about the band know Lindsey's contributions). When the average Joe thinks of guitarists, they think of Clapton, Hendrix, Van Halen, Slash, (or God forbid Page) etc because they've been in the limelight and given the label of 'great'. In the case of Jimi and Clapton, that's true, of course.
Of course, RS is pure bullshit anyway. For example, Kurt Cobain?? Laughable. Cobain was a mediocre guitarist at best. And no mention of Vince Gill, Jerry Reed, or especially Roy Clark, who was a true guitar God.
Cobain above Buckingham. Stephen Stills above Lindsey. Everyone on the list is above Lindsey, and this is ridiculous. That, my friend, is the meaning of underrated.
With no pick!
This is so true. When I learn his songs on guitar I'm like how did this guy figure this out himself. He is so creative.
The passion Mick Fleetwood puts into those drums is frigging legendary. 😊
Лучший в мире барабанщик!
46 years on and I STILL can't hear this without my soul getting turned inside out.. I want this played at my funeral!
And me xx
I agree
I was thinking more of The Ace of Spades.
...let me know when it is and I'll be there! LOVE this song!
You mean your Celebration of Life 🎉😊
I will always love mick's faces when he's drumming live. Puts a smile on everyone's faces
He's a madman!!
reminds me of animal off the muppets! love it!
@@justjazzy81 I can picture him saying “Wooman!” 🤣
He is just revelling in the ton of money they all made out of this material.
Absolutely the best!!!
I love how Mick is just having the time of his life on the drums 😂
Right!!!!!!!
Bad ass!!!👍👍👍
@@ImmortalIdeas ✊🏻😤
He is on the never going back again live version too
@@haydnmcdonnell2397 seen it!! ✊🏻😤
YESSSSS hahahahaha he looooovin it!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤OF course I'm listening to this in 2024.........I'm 46 and love amazing music...Rock On...
The personal pain throughout this band created some kick ass music over the years!!!
@chaz5229 DAMN Straight!! THAT'S an understatement, BUT IT was sure Great to see them work IT Out on stage!! ROCK ON Chaz!!
Love the beat fuckin good
@@user-lc8kq6ex5d Absolutely Straight Up!! YOU Àre FUCKING Right On, Have a Great New Year's Eve and Day/Night!!!
Just watching Stevie face her body AWAY from the crowd and sing directly to Lindsey.. chills. This whole show was filled with rekindled anger, hurt, and passion and I love it
She wrecked an astonishing band because she was having a temper tantrum, I don't love it. Yes, she's an incredible singer and writer, but so is Lindsey Buckingham (as well as an amazing musician). She should have been a grown up about it. Her body language just shouts, "POUTING CHILD" to me.
Fleetwood Mac's whole career is pretty much one big Jerry Springer style fight, shrouded in mysticism and good music. Get your popcorn.
@@shanonrowland4953 You're not giving Lindsay much agency...he knew.
Can we all just be thankful we didn’t have to go through all of this and can sit back and enjoy what came from all of their bs?
@@shanonrowland4953 I mean he was physically and verbally abusive to her over the course of their relationship. So I would say there was some merit behind her feelings
I bumped into Mick Fleetwood in a shoe shop whilst on holiday in Sydney. I just stood there mouth wide open and he calmly walked up, towering over me, smiled and said ‘Hello, how are you,’ like he’d known me forever. I just smiled and said ‘I’m fine thank you’. I didn’t know what else to say!
CAPS! GET YA CAPS HERE
🧢
What else can you say ? ! I would have been too stunned to say a word 😆 love this hand soo much
He's from Redruth in Cornwall, so "alright, my 'ansome" would do!
Christie just acts like she just don't give a shit about the 2 🤣🤣🤣
i would simply explode out of my body and ascend to heaven if i ever had the opportunity to see this live. this whole album is magical. goosebumps on every song.
We did...and it's magical
evie 😍
I could not agree more. I would give most of my money to be able to see a show from when I wasn’t even born
😂😂😂😊
I did see them live and they were brill.
I'm convinced that Mick Fleetwood was the inspiration for Jim Henson's "Animal" drummer muppet!
Lol!
Oh please!
Still can't get my head around Christine had gone. Pure talent and will be missed. We think they live on forever 😪
Feels like I'll never be the same. Sad AF
The Queen
And Christine
This band was such a big part of my formative years, And Christine was a big part of that. So much talent in a majical band.
Their music does live on forever.
@@CryptoGrizzly710 sher is garbage just like your comment
When Stevie looks at him, jesus you can still feel the pull.
I wish she looked at me like that
And he at her
He is better off w / out her ♥️♥️🎸🎸🎸🎸
You mean you can feel her bitterness over the fact that he's moved on, and she's still a single, bitter old hag.
@@melissah.9225 why be so rude?
Every player in that band is amazing.
…my favorite part till this day is Stevie turning her back to the audience and looking over her shoulder and singing at Lindsey…and him glancing back.. and singing at her…unforgettable takes me back to 97.❤
ahhh yes.....chills
@@gms77777that moment is so electric, intense and alluring. I was 13 watching this air on PBS with my dad.. he turned to me and said…they have history and laughed.😂 I had no idea at the time what he was talking about.😅❤
Yes, but they are also watching each other's lips to synchronise their harmonies. As Lindsay also has to concentrate on his guitar, most of that responsibility falls on Stevie.
Lindsey looking over in the first verse.."She's staring at me isn't she..oh shyt she is staring at me"
Lindsey should never have been asked to leave a very sad day
and Stevie is looking at him like "sing it to my face! you f*cking coward!"
It actually kinda mirrors the album cover, but in reverse. She's looking right and he's looking straight ahead an almost exact reflection of the cover
Lmao. Pretty much!
I know everyone is revisiting Fleetwood Mac's music since the sad passing of Christine, RIP!!! But watching the way Lindsey Buckingham plays guitar is utterly unbelievable every time I see him play!!!!
His hybrid finger-picking style almost reminds me of Mark Knopfler.
I could watch him play all day!
With you there. I am mesmerized by Lindsey's superhuman guitar playing!
@@epistte i thought the exact same thing. Two true master's.
Yeah IKR? Fleetwood Mac wouldn’t be the same without them both 😢(Lindsey is still alive. He got fired 4 years ago after smiling at Stevie while she was accepting the awards)
The live mix of this concert is superb. The placing of the drums and the cleaness of the vocals especially. Brilliant.
Hi Richard! Could you please tell me what form of recording you have because the cd I have is the worst recording that I own. Out of about 600. You would think a high end system would be a plus for this cd. Bryston cd, Krell preamp and amplifiers mono blocks. Thanks you so much. Oh yeah Thiel 7.2’s.
The bass was too low IMO
I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO SEE FLEETWOOD MAC IN CONCERT PLAYING THE GREATEST HITS! 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
WAS LUCKY TO SEE THE DANCE TOUR @ WHITE RIVER AMPHITHEATER IT WAS SO AWESOME
I doubt they will get back together after Christine died...
It's 2023 and this is still a real work of art
Es ist immer noch der Wahnsinn
Amo demais ❤
Me to❤❤❤
@Blunt33bdx seen them enough to tell you that you are SOO FUCKIN' Right!!! They rocked me every time every way every year I saw them up to now!!! 2023, everything about them was wonderful exciting and different EACH time!! EVEN without Lindsey, they can Rock like hell!! FM is one Hell of a Band!!
Absolutely agree. I picked up my love for them and many other bands that played before I was born (and after) from my parents. I wouldn’t take it back at all. I have a record collection I’m very proud of and would rather buy records then most shopping 🤩
Lindsey and Stevie are having at each other, Christine just plays the keyboard and doesn't really care, Mick is having fun, and John is just...playing the bass; that's the band for you.
I know you jest, probably.? This concert was way after the drama of all that. They did run into a little bit of drama this year when they kicked Lindsey out of the band.
nashville slim why did they kick lindsey out
@@MolagBalls idk, haven't looked into it 2020 yo
NO LINDSEY NO FLEETWOOD 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I think it's more Stevie than Lindsey now, he's more focused on his guitar. Could also just be another part of the show. That they still have drama today though is freaking incredible
Taylor swift...can not ever hold a candle to these people.....EVER
💯💯💯💯
I love Taylor, but you're right. Not a candle, not even a whiff of a candle wick. There are few in the world that could. Fleetwood Mac is the best of the best!!!
Why compare!
@@charlesclark9627 correct. There is no use in comparing them.
Why are we even bringing Taylor Swift into this? Even if we’re delving into personality disorders she will never be anything like Stevie Nicks
The voice crack at 2:48, pure emotion. Simply irreducible, never got goosebumps this much until now. Amazing.
Not sure what's better, Buckingham's guitar or his voice. Mesmerising.
Both.
He was the heart and soul of the band... period
💃🌻
Facts
@@zodspeed I saw this tour. Very very good
When Stevie wags her finger at Christine its in response to the news that Christine would be leaving the band imminently (thus breaking the chain). Christine returned to the Mac in 2014. R.I.P dear lady......... you made loving music fun.
Thank you!!
More likely Lyndsy was leaving till Stevie gave up butthole again...
Damn eh
I guess we are all here wishing we could go back to the late 70’s through the 80’s. I know I wish I could.
My 26 year old daughter who listens to our generations music tells me all the time she wished she could’ve experienced it
It was a special time. The talent and the legacy will live on forever.
Mick losing his hat while jamming is pure comedy/genius. 🔥
I love how they look at eachother with hate because they actually mean what theyre actually saying to eachother
She did him a favour breaking up his wife does not look like a fat grandmother who is dressed up for a funeral.
What actually happened between them, that resulted in this hate ?
Sorry, I'm not familiar at all with Fleetwood Mac.
@@theprogrammerrolandmc3039 oh shut up for the love of god
@@rockdoublard okay basically it was lindsey being abusive and hurt stevie and they both hurt eachother and then they broke up and not a long time after that lindsey left the fucking band and then stevie left the band and then they reunited with fleetwood mac. It's not basically that much hate. They're now in a good place somehow.
@@Neeeeeeeeeeggg Thanxxxx a bunch ! 😃
That bassline gets me every time, plus Lindseys incredible guitar work and the phenomenal vocal harmonies. This song is a Masterpiece. Rest in Peace Christine Mcvie 🔥🙌👏💖🎶🔥
Hell yes, I first heard that bassline when I was watching F1 in 1996 as a kid. This tune was the intro song back then.
Lindsey's gotta be the most under-rated guitarist.
Oh right which one is C. McVie? The Keys ?
@@vectraautomation4426 I doubt you could distinguish Guitar from Bass Guitar.
Correct! see Rick Beato.
Name a group that had such chemistry and interpersonal relationships that lead to so many great hits. The love/hate dynamic was simply off the charts!
One of the bands that sound great live... collective soul is another.
It’s like Lindsay spent fifteen years thinking, ‘how can I make the best song I ever wrote sound even better’ and he finally got his chance. His playing on this live version is just mesmerizing.
@@tamaskemner5739 :Please Tamas Kemmer, look up on wiki to find out who this super group is. Either you are too young to know about them or you have lived under a rock.
mesmerizing !! 🤯😱
The guitarist is Mike Campbell not LB.
@@je7887 Campbell played with them for like two years after they ‘let Lindsay go’. He wrote no songs for Fleetwood Mac, and is most certainly NOT the guitar player at this show, which was filmed twenty plus years ago.
@@je7887 That is Lindsey Buckingham lead guitarist and singing the hell out of his song.
My new girlfriend had this as an album and it was on repeat...I do not regret those times in fact I married the girl in 1979 seems like yesterday ,she is gone now but her music still makes me smile/cry cherish your loved ones, and love the music
Sorry for your loss
Aww . I understand happen 2 me . This song hurts so much xxx
Nicely said.
its true sometimes we got to live with that
I am smiling and nearly crying after reading your beautiful comment
I have seen the Mac in Concert 5 times and in each concert, they start the show off with the Chain. It sets the tone for the whole rest of the concert. The Mac has a sound that is simply mesmerizing at times. There are unquestionably in the top 5 of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.
Today's singers cannot hold a candle to Stevie Nicks...rock on Stevie!
The chain has been broken along with so many hearts.
Every live performance I can't get over the differences between Stevie and Lindsey's energies- no matter how long it's been. Her anger is so cold, with her glances at him (aka death stare) and his palpable, kinetic rage- the jumping, the yelling. Makes it even better.
She's the one that left him though. And then he wrote "Go your own way" and made HER sing about how she was "packing up, shacking up" and she's never forgiven him for it, lol.
Emily Rose it gives me chills everytime I watch this performance. I feel the glances and the rage makes my heart skip a beat. God I love Fleetwood Mac!
the art of performance at is best ever
Whent to his restaurant in n mouie Sunday night just us 2 massive big place lol
@ Emily Rose: Better be careful with the judgement on someone's glances, it's perfect a playground for your own preconceptions as long as you do not know the person more intimately in her/his usual gestions or facial expressions. Why not understand Stevie Nick's expression as "what a pity we couldn't do well together"? After all I've heard about their quarrels, my poit is: both Stevie and Lindsey are supersized personalities, just like many great musicians are, but they could have matched up to a real BIG LOVE, if they had not played in the same band. Unfortunately for themselves, but fortunately for the audience of "Rumours".
In my humble opinion they are still one of the greatest groups of my time. I am 67 years old now and I will never, ever grow tired of their music 😊❤
They're one of the greatest bands of ALL time! 😍
65 years old and still loved every bit of fleetwood mac
Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar playing is just on another level.
Miss you, Christine. Rest in peace.
The way Lyndsay Buckingham is picking that guitar is unbelievable..he is so underrated.
It's year 2022, and I consider this as a legendary masterpiece.
no doubt, im glad we agree❤
as anyone should
Word.
❤️🔥👍
No doubt
Lindsey Buckingham is a musical genius. Incredible!
Absolutely one of the best live versions of any song ever
The chain will never be broken. Your music will live on
RIP Christine, your voice will always be iconic
This song still gives me goosebumps, even after 40-years. Love it.
I love when she stares him down when singing silver springs! So powerful omg I love her
This song is the essence of Christine McVie in Fleetwood Mac after Nicks/Buckingham joined as a duo. She was the lush warmth in her vocals that beautifully completed Lindsey and Stevie’s sharp tones. She also wrote most of their hits and sneakily was the lead singer, a lot, behind the keyboards.. which also ain’t easy. Amazing musician.
Well said
Christine was amazing and penned some absolutely lovely songs...but she did not write "most" of their hits (solo, anyway - the whole band is credited on many of their songs).
Christine wasn't the lead singer. It has always been Stevie.
@@marialagerstrom6753 McVie was in the band singing long before Stevie and Lindsey even joined. Stevie and Lindsey came in and wrote and sang amazing songs no doubt, but McVie is right there with them. She didn't crave the spotlight as much, though. And as a keyboardist, she was busy on stage. McVie's big hits she wrote and sang include Little Lies, Hold me, Over My Head, Say You Love Me, You Make Loving Fun, Everywhere, and Don't Stop. She's no backup singer.
@@marialagerstrom6753 They were all lead singers. Stevie and Lindsey were the front men. Christine was a bit weighed down by playing keyboards. Lindsey sang lead/co-lead most in concert by a significant margin. Usually about 50%. [On the albums Stevie sang lead/co-lead on 25% of songs between 1975-1987. Christine around 33% and Lindsey 50%] Stevie's time as a lead singer grew on stage from 75-97, except for 87 when it decreased again, but she was never #1 in terms of songs sung as lead or co-lead. Even when it was just Lindsey and Stevie from 2003-2013 and it started out 50/50 he sang more because she always dropped songs from the set list and he didn't.
RIP Christine McVie.... what a fabulous talent!! 😢💕🙏
Fleetwood Mac's most important and definitive song. Not Dreams, not Landslide, not Gypsy, not Go Your Own Way, not Don't Stop,not You Make Lovin Fun etc.
Prove me wrong. I dare you.
The chain keeps us together. RIP Christine, you beautiful songbird ❤❤❤
Mick's face during the entire performance was EVERYTHING
He's so in to it that he looks insane...
This is one of their masterpieces. Without Lindsey and Christine there's no Fleetwood Mac to my opinion. May she RIP. Farewell your sublime voice.
Agreed
Exactly!!
2 thing my Dad and I could agree on ... Stevie and Christie
The whole thing about them is that they were ALL essential, otherwise it didn't work.
There was in the old blues days.
Is he rated as a lead guitarist?
Sounds good to me.
The incomparable Fleetwood Mac!! Absolutely love Lindsay Buckingham and his vocals ❤ 😍 🙌
Fleetwood Mac will always be an iconic, legendary band for eternity
The intro of the bass is one of the best things I've ever heard. Spectacular.
John is a phenomenal bass player
Absolutely!
YES 😁
I love how he alternates playing when they sing the chorus with silence in the verse. It's epic live, and I've been lucky enough to hear him do it.
Good as it is, when you've listened to it every week, year after year as the intro to Top Gear, it does loose some of it's magic.
This song is so much deeper than people will ever realize.
What a masterpiece whos with me on that ❤
Hell Yeah!!!
Got Tingly knowing you could cut air between the Two protagonists here and Christine Keeping an eye on the Volotaile ones and Mick likewise being Master of Ceremonies at the end a look of Relief . Yes Mate it's a Classic 🇦🇺👌
You, cannot but, love Fleetwood Mac. You have to be without a musical note in you, not to love or dislike them. This song is just the ultimate in musical composition and arrangement. Lead, bass, drums, harmony, vocals or any aspect of musicality. This is just a sensational song.
I get emotional watching this, because they’re just absolute class. One of those bands who actually sound better performing live than in a studio, because of their pure talent. ❤
Yes, just like Queen. Talent keeps the songs evolving and improving over time. No auto-tune, no backing track, just raw talent. Lindsey is a remarkable guitar player, and he puts this live track on legendary status.
Their album sound is quite great, but some of their songs get such oomph in the live versions. E.g. Big love is nice on album, but the live version is just mindboggling (albeit being a Buckingham solo).
Absolutely
@@scottnokes
Well said
I am also musician
This is brilliant
As you say, Queen
(Band) and improvisation is the best
You nail it for me
The whole band sounds so good. Absolute top of their game. Those drums though. Rarely do you hear drums tuned that nice, and punching that hard. This entire performance has me picking my jaw up off the floor. No matter how many times I watch this, I always want to see it again.
Spot on comment.....your class is showing.....
Mick's drums are plated in real gold, and he stacks his row of toms backwards...totally groundbreaking drummer.
Only Mac could play a solo I could listen to, he has a unique one of a kind sound
They are incredible live too..best show I ever saw in 2015 in Atlanta, GA the last tour of the original members!
@@andreanewland453 Bet it was a great show.
This is not just the work of one person, it's a collaboration of several different performers. Each one has a specific talent: singer, keyboards, percussionist, guitarist--and all are great performers individually. What makes this such a very great piece of work is that they have brought all of these different things together and made a powerful blend that carries emotion and strength. What a great group--and their music is still inspirational today.
@@ArtieFufkin546 Also true, but there is no "I" in "team"; without the others there would be no band - no matter how good one person might be at his art, or as an administrator, he could not have done this alone, so credit is supposed to be shared equally among them. Good bands have broken up many times over the years because of the fact that one member demanded the spotlight and refused to acknowledge the work of the other members. You cannot build something if you don't have the parts needed.
My apologies to you, sir--I was not trying to engage anyone in a debate; my only interest was to applaud the efforts of a well-recognized group of accomplished musicians, Buckingham included. I'm sure that there were problems associated with these people in their personal and private lives outside of the recording studio--they're human, and made any number of egregious mistakes--then again, everyone makes mistakes. For my part: they were great together. Yes, Buckingham was a self-taught genius on the guitar, with amazing musical talent and skill--but, it wasn't a contest to see who was the best among them, it was a joint effort to make music together, despite all of the complications--and I'm glad that they did what they did, those songs that they managed to perform together are great and nothing that anyone says about the band members can detract from that fact. I see no reason to dig into their peccadillos, it serves no real purpose--how about this: just enjoy the music--it's what I'm trying to do.@@ArtieFufkin546
I am 96 years old and a former B-17 ball-turret gunner flying out of East Anglia in England in 1943-44. I do not think I've ever heard of The Fleetwood Mac, although I do like the young blonde-haired lady
Not sure why that first part was necessary.
Appreciation of Fleetwood Mac doesn't require any particular life experience.
All are welcome!
I'll miss her and her legacy will go on and on. Christie was something special.
RUMORs came out 1977 same year my brother died. The album was such a big hit and overplayed and every time I heard songs over the years a bad reminder of that time. But one day I found solace in the songs the words and the singers. Christine McVie, thank you for all you did to give us such amazing timeless music!!
143 always
What an unbelievably F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C PERFORMANCE ... Mick, the Gentle Giant, and Brilliant, Brilliant Lindsey ... Stevie, the Gold Dust Woman and that Bass from John!!! RIP Christine ... you will Always, Always be missed 😍 THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC!!
This is the iconic lineup of Fleetwood Mac. Without anyone of them it isn't the same. Absolute magic together ❤️
This is the type of song that it doesn’t sink in how legendary it is when you listen to it for the first time. And the more you listen to it the more you understand that it’s one of the most iconic songs ever.
So right, it's to the core
Hit me yesterday n I read this today! Spot on...
That was exactly my experience. I bought Rumours immediately when it hit the stores. I said "so what" when I first heard The Chain. By the time I saw FM in concert, about 2 months later, you knew it would get to the top 10. Yes, John and Mick are outstanding on this song.
One of the simplest and most recognized bass lines ever. Remarkable Genus of John McVie 3:34
Brillliant bass playing by McVie!
This is the timestamp I play on repeat.
how could there be a better performance of a song than this. pinnacle.
One of the greatest songs ever
Epic!!!!
RIP Christine my thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. Truly one of the most iconic Rock bands of that came out of the 70s.
Agreed. If the woman is gone. We have her music that she was part of Fleetwood Mac. Amazing band.
The chain. Love it!
There is no Fleetwood Mac without Buckingham. Even if they have 4/5 members they still don't have their heart and soul and overall the best talent that the band has ever seen which is Buckingham. Truly the most underrated musician of all time.
It's so VERY VERY SAD 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Fleetwood Mac sold millions of records with Lindsay, he is not underrated at all
The best talent the band ever seen was Peter Green and they said that when he left too, that Fleetwood Mac were finished.
The Green God named the band Fleetwood Mac because he knew he would leave, but under much different circumstances. If you've never seen the documentary "Man of the World" and you're a Fleetwood Mac fan - WATCH IT!
And they fired him!
There's something just absolutely magical about this performance
Song gives me the chills Lindsey makes the guitar scream vocals outstanding
Quite simply put, This is one of the greatest pieces of music from the 20th century.
Absolutely magnificent!!
Totally agree!
Agreed. Will there ever be a decade like the 70's? Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, and a host of others.
@@tarheel181 Doubtful. 70's was incredibly unique and special.
There are plenty out there, but I would agree with you. I would argue it's not so much the song as its performance by this group.
@catholicdad What ever the perspective or interpretation. It's totally brilliant.
Stevie was looking at Lindsey almost the whole way through, like Earth and Moon, the gravitational pull will always exist.
55, grew up watchung stevie n mick n all, tusk, omg my childhood was wild cos of that song, in 2022i thankfully, filled a bucket list i saw stevie live in phoenix with my soul sister, pity we missed fleetW play the year or two before ....but with our other fleetW angel moving on from this journey to the next , i could not ever see a fleetW live ever, :) love you al.... , literally you all, stevie n Mick Specially , hung around my bedrooms for over 35 years( and my mums ) , till i couldnt buy posters no more, !!!!! love you guys, the souls u have saved will never be numbered, but know u saved many of us lost ones !!!!! live long legends ... Bkessed Be xox
You alls music gives me goosebumps
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham: If hate sex was music this is what it would sound like.
lmfao so true. imagine singing with your ex on stage
That's so funny 😄
hahahaha
I think they are still in love and I’m sad for them.
@@captainmajor1428 what’s funny
After all these years, Stevie Nick's still looks pissed.
@ checking it out next
Oh she is lol
It’s how they make their best music, unfortunately. Being pissed off at your ex for what they did to you, and singing to them in revenge in public. It’s a Jerry Springer style fight in a concert, and their fans love it. It’s the story of The Chain: the one person that you can’t live with is also the one person you can’t live without.
Well, Lindsey beat Stevie N. a lot and even pushed up against a car. Witnesses saw it happen.
If you got hit a lot and even thrown against a car and almost had broken ribs you might be ticked off too. Buckingham was a total ass to her.
If heaven exists, surely Fleetwood Mac would be in, cause there's no heaven without it.
This was amazing. I keep coming back to see this, and still can't get over this powerful rendition.
It breaks my heart that FM is effectively over. There is no way anyone could ever replace Christine. RIP Queen! You were so very loved!❤💔❤️💔❤️💔
They said that about AC/DC in 1980.
@@healingenso7923AC/DC were young men. Mick, John, Lindsey and Stevie are in their 70's. Factor in that Lindsey isn't currently part of the group, and John is full of arthritis these days, I reckon its safe to say that the Mac are over.
I think I consider this as THE best version of "The Chain" ever. What a great performance.
Fleetwood Mac is one of the best rock bands ever
"The lights go green, and they're away..."!
Rip Christine-she was like a soothing voice through all the turmoil
god they each have such unique voices and their harmonies are untouchable, but christine’s voice always stands out to me as being the most pleasing and beautiful to listen to. thank you for sharing your songs and voice with us, christine.
39 years of age. And it took a funeral of one of these greats to search and realize I knew everyone of their songs and that I was a fan the whole time.
Artist that made live music better than a album recording its un heard of these days
