"The timeless face of a rock and roll woman while her heart breaks" - After The Glitter Fades, Stevie Nicks

I was standing right in front of her during this song and it was heartbreaking. She was trying to desperately not to break down. You could just see it in her eyes. It was raw emotion.

She’s a human being and hurts just like the rest of us,knowing that she spent years loving him but knowing it couldn’t be and to have to let go and watch him move on as well as herself takes a lot of love,she’s an inspiration to women who can let someone go and wish them the best,to me that’s a real woman

for the people who think they "fake" it on stage, watch this video, there's nothing fake about this performance or rehearsed.

Once you have that deep love for someone it never really dies you just move on and keep it safe and locked in your heart forever...

That's a real tear jerker for sure. It's really amazing that after all these decades, people STILL want Stevie and Lindsey to be together. I don't know if there is any other famous ex-couple that brings out the sadness that their parting does even today. She's a class act, Lindsey is a killer guitar player and all of Fleetwood Mac is one of the best bands ever. I wish I could see them one day. Thank you all of Fleetwood Mac for your gift of great music for so many years.

This type of love seems like something only found once in a lifetime...

someone is going to make a movie out of Fleetwood Mac one day. They are part of our American/ British lore now. What a story.

Their love for each other is beautiful and heartbreaking. You can definitely see the history between them. They came up from the bottom together and fought for everything they have. This is what true soul mates look like. Soul mates aren't always romantic, they are two peoples souls that just clash better than anyone else possibly could with them, even if their personalities don't. Stevie and Lindsey are soul mates.

there’s definitely people in my life that if i sang a song like this to, i would cry. it must be a wild experience to be stevie or lindsey and have had played music like this right next to one another. even years after their relationship ended. that shit doesn’t just disappear.

This breaks my heart to see Stevie crying....

She still loves him, it's very obvious. Also, LB's guitar playing is truly amazing

I can't stop watching this video of Stevie.....this is exactly why we love & adore her so much. She's so real, no pretenses....And not afraid to show her vulnerability......she'll always be my only #1

Stevie looks world weary here. Its an emotional song too, when you know the story of them being together pre rumours, you realise how emotional it is, and im sure there are many of us watching this who miss that special someone from our past too. The one you let go of because you made a wrong decision and you never found that 'thing' with anyone else, and you cant go back because circumstances hav changed. Very emotional song

Even though Stevie is happy with her life without a partner or children, I do not believe that she has absolutely no regrets about not having that. I think here she was thinking of what could've been and how things are now. They were together then ended it, always had that chemistry even in hard times but now he is happy with his own children and spouse. She knows it's over. Really over. Not saying she WANTED to get back together, but it's still very sad. This was a beautiful moment. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I love you Stevie.

"The timeless face of a Rock n Roll woman, while her heart breaks..."

She definitely still has love for him ,it is written all over her face.There is always that one person in life that has your heart to the end no matter what the circumstances.

I find these two people so fascinating. They have known each other for almost 50 years now. Sad that it didn't last but thank goodness it didn't. Without their love and subsequent break up, we wouldn't have the soundtrack of a lot of our lives. Very touching to see despite it all, the love is there.

My biggest regret in life is not going to see them during this tour. I hope Lindsey finds his way back and we get another chance. 😭

This absolutely broke my heart. Its very clear that they still love each other even after all these years, all the songs, the drugs and the fights. They really are each others soul mates. I haven't cried like this in a long while. Thank you so much for posting it

Omfg cry so hard every time I watch this! Need to stop watching this at work ahha

How much he truly always loved her, and the mixed explosion of emotion in her eyes, this kills me, I feel both of their emotions so strong right here and it's incredible, mind blowing, and certainly heart wrenching

Very moving. True love never dies and Stevie and Lindsay are so obviously soul mates, as this poignant and beautiful duet clearly shows. Despite their very public estrangement in the '70's, Lindsay has always 'worn his heart on his sleeve' with regards to his feelings for Stevie, but this very emotional reaction from her, allows us to really know her true feelings for him. I am sure the romantic in all of us would like to see them end up together, but that kind of love transcends all boundaries, even lifetimes, so one day in the future, who knows when, they will surely be together again.

Damn. He went from writing go your own way to this.

I think for her, it was only her and Lindsey there.

This Is Not Prefabricated, THIS IS REAL

This makes the tears flow, but they never said goodbye, they are a spiritual couple that will go into eternity on the wings of their song.

Stevie is crying through this whole song. 😢 A love that could not hold.....She is thinking of Lindsay...and what could of been? 😭 Both their hearts are breaking. 💔😢💔😭

When you love someone truly love someone you never stop loving them.

I JUST WANNA GIVE HER A HUG RN AWWW DONT CRY STEVIE

It's a deep love they have that will always be there. But their personalities are too strong for it to ever have worked in the long run. Of course there are regrets, but only in their later years have they even been able to be civil to each other. As much as we don't want it to be, it is what it is. He's married with children, something she evidently didn't want due to her gypsy lifestyle. She chose to dance across the stages of the world instead. But damn, their heartbreak has given us some of the best music of our lives.

One of the most beautiful moments of this show, luckily I was there.

a very private...public moment.

They really belong together, but i think she realises there is no turning back. So many regrets.

If tears could speak...this hits to the inner core of your soul...Rock on Stevie,Lindsey & Fleetwood Mac...

Brings tears to my eyes. Don't know how she does it.

Every time they look at one another it's just there, the love never stops, it can change, but never stops. I think for their fans we will always see them as "together" because they made such an impact on each other and made their indelible mark on music which transitioned to their ever-loving fans. It's official, we love them, for their ups as well as their downs; for their youth and naivety to their maturity and wisdom. He has known her since she was 17 years old; that's a long time to spend with someone in any type of relationship, which leads to the never-ending and endearing heartfelt emotions they feel for one another. They do have a respect for one another and rightly so.

This epitomizes the absolute heartbreak of what could have been, encapsulating Stevie and Lindsay's relationship through the years. When you're young, life is so sweet and even heartache is not as raw as when you grow older and only have memories. Reminiscing when you have many more years behind you than in front can be a hard and bitter pill to swallow. 😢😢😢😢😢

This song REALLY rips at my heart, clear down to where my soul is. I believe it was written based on a lot of personal life experiences, a lot of pain, that brought about a profound understanding of life and relationships. This song, TO ME, represents a lot of hard learned life lessons that causes appreciation, often too late, for those you left behind, those you lost, and the times that it was YOU who was left behind, and the times we did not realize what we had, and maybe the times someone else didn't comprehend what THEY had! Hearing this song and seeing the pain on Stevie and Lindsey's faces, hearing it in their voices, is almost more than I can bear, and sometimes I wish to never hear this, ever again. That, my friends, speaks to just what great poets, song writers and musicians they really are.

Linsey and Stevie always manage to create such great harmonies.

Stevie, dear Stevie, i cried right along with you!

It's been said she was so emotional because she was thinking of her mom...who she was very close to & had died 2 yrs before this. Either way...heartbreaking. And I want to acknowledge Lindsey's excellent guitar work in this. His talent is so exceptional.

He wrote that song just for her!! There love was a one in a life time love ❤️🥀I couldn’t have done it well done Stevie and Buck

The "epitome" of aging gracefully..love these two forever!

If your a fan of FM, you know that a lot of the songs are songs written to each other through their lyrics, you really feel part of that if you've followed them for a long time. It's not just about the music with them, there's so many layers and I can't think of any other band that does that. Legends in every way. Love them.

Stevie is such a true artist. Cries and bleeds her lyrics and melodies.

I as there and cried during this performance. So did a woman next to me. Great show!

One of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Lindsey and Stevie have a love/hate relationship, can't stay together, but are emotionally attached forever.

They are both brilliant and overflowing with talent. Together - what they can do escalates exponentially. I LOVE their Buckingham Nicks album - good grief it is a joy. In the years since BN, you can see how they feed off of each other and draw each others' talents out. Are they good performing without each other?? Absolutely. Are they better together ?? YES, in my simple opinion. I'm happy that he is happy - and I am also sad as I had tickets to see him in concert (which was COVID rescheduled and cancelled). Darn, I was sad and mad. I did get to see FM on tour (sans Lindsey) and it was a great show - but I felt the void. There was a spot on the stage that was empty. I wish the whole band would get their shit together, put their differences aside and perform together - for now a drive-in concert would be amazing. They have a magic together - and none of them can be replaced when they perform as FM. (His acoustic talents (wow), her vocals and stage presence AND the electricity you feel when they are together cannot be reproduced.)

I think these had something so deep that they will always have it in their hearts xx

That moved me to tears. So emotional heartfelt and sad

this is love. this is pain disguised as a dream? memories! are garunteed to break your heart.💔

I was feeling this so hard. When you have loved someone so long and so deeply and you know you will never find another like it ever again😭

It’s heartbreaking seeing what real connection they had together! Hope what’s going on in the world just now will make them realise life’s too short and mend their friendship!

The history between them is untouchable. The love they have for another touches my heart. Love Fleetwood Mac always n forever ❤

Soulmates. When life separates you, but the love is always there.

I love Stevie, have said many times she is the most beautiful fragile girl ever and I was lucky to see her with the band at the Cotton Bowl Dallas in 1978. She also broke down that afternoon during the show and was taken off stage, oh I love this woman and she is still the most beautiful I've ever seen.

KZfaq won't let me give this video a thousand stars, but that's what it truly deserves. I've never cried so much in ages. I don't think I've ever seen Stevie completely lose it like that and it just broke my heart. Her beautiful, eloquent speech at the end was sheer magic. What an enchantress. She's captured my heart. And, is it just me, or does Mick have the luckiest daughters in the world?

"A little world within a world Yes, a dream, just a dream" soul mates never die u.u

That was the saddest damn thing I've seen in a long time! Heart wrenching!

it always breaks my heart to see these two together and you can see how much she suffers

Seen it before, very very TOUCHING, these two will never ever get over eachother .. .. Sad and profound.

..... Its a very intense and emotional song ,when you know the story of them being together pre rumours, you realise how it is, and im sure there are many of us watching this who miss that one person from our past too? The one you let go of because you made a wrong decision, because you had issues, because you weren't mature enough and you have never found that 'thing' with anyone else, and you cant go back because circumstances have changed. Very emotional song

Totally, pictures don't lie, when Lindsay says, Once I said good bye to you, DO YOU SEE HER FACE. Of course she regrets the past.....he moved on due to an unplanned pregnancy with girlfriend, and he stuck with the family life of which he needed and loves. But does she wish she could do it all over again, TOTALLY. She will always love this man. And I believe he will always love her. No doubt.

The raw emotion of love. So beautifully written & performed. I wonder what he said to her after the song. Stevie & Lindsey forever.

I feel like they still LOVE each other and it will never go away

This is very emotional to watch, cannot hold my tears

They still love each other, all the drama got in the way.

I love Fleetwood Mac I have since the 70's.

So heartbreaking yet beautiful.

This is the shit!!!!!!!! You captured a truly special moment!!!!!!!!! I just wanna hug her.

That song is magical. And magically strange. I don’t know how you can mix that intense picking with such sweet gentle emotions. Somehow it blends into this baring of souls. Wow.

Sharing such deeply held genuine life experience with the audience sets true artists apart. Somewhere in the 80’s pretentious and shallow music began to take over. Thank God for people like this making the sacrifices necessary to tell their stories and share their gifts.

Stevie....a very beautiful and classy lady. I love her.

What a GREAT SONG! It fits so many relationships ..... So you face yesterday Thinking on the days of old And the price that we paid For a love we couldn't hold I let you slip away There was nothing I could do That was so long ago, yeah Still I often think of you I fall down, I get up And I've always had to fight Everything that was wrong For the things that were right Now I finally found my way Now I know just what to do Once you said goodbye to me, yeah Now I say goodbye to you It's so hard to find your way When the lies come around Still it happens everyday So don't let it get you down Just a time within a time Just a scheme within a scheme A little world within a world Yes, a dream, just a dream Now…

I love how humble they are and it just seems they become more and more so as the years pass. I myself love to talk, tell a story and share good, exciting and interesting news with whoever will listen! 　 I can relate to Stevie's urge to stay after the encore, after the curtain, after the bow and all other members have exited (she is usually the last one standing) to be not only intimate but giving with her fans but at her age, the number of years she has been performing for us, the number of songs she sings over the course of ta concert night, not to mention the same songs night after night for months on end, also taking into consideration her status as a celebrity, a respected wealthy, talented and stylish individual, a rock and roll icon and all her dues well and truly paid, even with a dedicated, loyal often obsessed fan base that will continue to grow for years to come even if Stevie chose to never sing or record again - Yet with all of this she gives us more, she goes above and beyond, she goes the extra mile and carries us with her. I don't know of any other artist who can compare in that act of selflessness. I have seen her with Mac and solo a total of 13 times live in concert and not only have I never been disappointed but each consecutive performance between 1989 AND 2009 IN 7 cities between USA and Australia and Stevie was noticeably better each time. Stronger vocally, even though I cherish many of her wild moments, some of which Mick has likened to an exorcism, which are wide in range and emotion from poignant and fragile to violently intense and captivating. For as many years as she put that extreme performane out there, had she continued without refining her technique and polishing the sound, she would not be physically capable of completeing a concert and probably not even a decent rendition of a song. We still enjoy a songstress with talent who offers a sound raw, unique and passionate, rich in character and expression and I feel at times otherworldly and always recognizable. Stevie Nick's voice and song fill a very unique place in my being. I would not know or understand that part of myself or existence without the beauty I am bleesed with in my personal experience of that music, her voice and her spirit which shines through it all. Thank you again Stevie AND Fleetwood Mac. You complete me! LOL

This happened to me a few days ago in connection with Stevie and this song...I can imagine her face crying. I was there with this song. I am married to an exceptional woman and nice children. Before I got married had this nice girlfriend who was very special to me but in another country, diferent cultures, but we had a special connection always. We love each other very much but we did not understand each other finally ... She found me a few days ago by FB. She said still in love with me .. Her husband died last year of cancer and they had a bad marriage. I couldn´t sleep, cried a lot but we said goodbye 20 years ago. She had a terrible life as she told me... I chose another way.... I´m not perfect in my life, I do mistakes always, but as a great love she ripped me a piece of my heart. It hurts a lot to me knowing she´s not happy. I´m very sorry for her. I hope she can build a better life. Sorry about my bad english.

They still love each other

Sad to see her cry. Got me crying too.

This is such a beautiful, emotionally packed song,...and an incredible live performance by Stevie and Lindsey!!!💔

True love never ever dies and memories are garunteed to break your heart 💔

Dealing with emotions of feeling old things bubbling up, having people “cheer your love” on, knowing it will probably never ever be again, that it really is goodbye, that must be incredibly hard. How she got through the song at all 🙇🏽‍♀️ she’s one tough cookie 👌🏽

She is in tears because of the intro to this particular performance (which can be found here on YT) wherein Lindsey clearly states that this song was written for her, in an attempt to exorcise the hard feelings of their relationship, which brought both of them fame, riches, glory, and heartaches of the most devastating kind. I highly recommend you find that video and watch it, then watch this again.

This video punches me in the gut every time. Thank you for capturing this moment.

What do the young know about life and love?Whatever you think of her Stevie has lived,loved and lost,this just killed me,how I love and and am grateful for this band,they have sung much of the soundtrack of my life,'thank you' just don't cut it!

2 beautiful people and great musicians! What a band!

Awwww....Stevie, you are so loved by your fans!! What you felt in this song, we felt. Love you sweet lady!

Man, this is gut-wrenching...

This is not the Stevie Nicks I remember, (or want to remember), from the 70's,80's and 90's. So sad. I remember her always being upbeat. I miss the Stevie I knew when we both were much younger. Saying goodbye is tough. Getting old sucks.

I cry every time watching this ugh!!!! what a women

Amazingly, what we thought we wanted when we were younger only to know our heart tells us differently. It's bittersweet.

There Will Absolutely Never Be Anyone like Stevie Ever Again. No One But Her Can Sing and Show Real True Raw Emotion, She is The Most Beautiful Magnificent Woman Ever and She Always Will Be. I Love Her with My Heart and Soul Forever💖💖💖

How Can Anyone Believe That This Is Not Real and True Emotion !!!!!!!

They'll be back together before they close their eyes. It's beautiful, that the love is still there.

Why do they sing this song live? It breaks her heart. It's too depressing for her. She still loves him.

An amazing song, very powerful that Stevie Nicks was so moved by Lindsay.

Lyndsey could bring the grim reaper to tears. He has some skills, no womans got no chance with this.

i was there from NH, she had many of her fans choked up almost like (she had capes pulled around them tight) crying for the nightbirds. So raw and true emotions a vegas night I will never forget. May god bless this woman

If you have a dry eyes after watching this, you have no heart. This is so beautiful, and seeing Stevie cry is so sad. What a beautiful love story.

Ohhh so sad......they so belonged together....you can really tell the love between these 2... oh ma i can't stop crying...
