The guitar player wrote this about his relationship with the female singer standing next to him (Stevie Nicks) - they weren’t married so not about divorce but about the demise of their relationship. The whole album that this came off of is fantastic. The bass player and the female playing piano were married and also going through a demise in their relationship and a lot of great music came out of the whole thing. Still amazing that they could wrote songs about each other and such sensitive topics and sing them with each other night after night on the road.

It's remarkable how brilliant this band was, given their utterly dysfunctional relationships offstage.

This version is good, and that's a tribute to how good they were. If you want to hear the original recording, get the CD "Rumours." If you want to hear Mac at their best, get both "Rumors" (1977) and the "Fleetwood Mac" album (1975). Those two records are amazing.

The guitar player is a genius...with his own style and doesn't use a guitar pick....this band has 3 lead singers in it and they have there own unique sound that is ageless!!!

Christine was such a legend. What a beautiful voice she had.

Mick Fleetwood is such an animalistic drummer! My fav! There is something that’s almost primal about his style that I just love!

Taylor Swift wrote songs about her ex. Stevie Nicks wrote songs about her ex, and made him play guitar on them.

Fleetwood Mac "The Chain"... R.I.P. Christine McVie 🙏❤️

Fleetwood Mac are a British/American rock band formed in London in 1967. Their album "Rumours" (1977) has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in history. All the songs on it are great. "Don't Stop", "You Make Loving Fun". "Second Hand News", "Gold Dust Woman", "The Chain" etc. Other songs from other albums are "Over My Head", "Say You Love Me", "Rhiannon", "Landslide", "Tusk", "Think About Me", "Sara", "Hold Me", "Love In Store", "Gypsy", "Oh Diane" etc. Sadly Christine McVie passed away last year.

This is when they are really old. You should check out the original studio cut from the mid-1970s or some live footage from that time. You will be blown away.

The Chain is actually the best one for the tension during the live performances

Silver Springs from this show is pretty good. Kind of showcases the break up between Lindsay and Stevie

Recommend: Another signature song by Fleetwood Mac is Rhiannon. About a Welsh witch written by Stevie Nicks. The song influenced her black lace outfits she wore on stage.😊😊

"Gold Dust Woman" is the best song on that album, IMO. Stevie Nicks is bewitching. 😱😍

This song is from the second Fleetwood Mac album after Stevie and Lindsey joined the band. Yes, this song and that album in retrospect were very weird. But, for whatever reason, all of the songs on that album was just perfect for that time in American history. Amazing to see the success and quality of music at that time given all of the chaos behind the scenes.

The songs were just them arguing on stage! 🤣 Because most people argue at some point we all got it! 😄 They DID have the guts to sing about it though! 😆

Yes, it's upbeat. A lot of their songs are upbeat and catchy. The singer, Lindsey Buckingham, wrote and performed the song "Holiday Road" for the movie National Lampoon's Vacation.

The guitar player, Lindsey, wrote this song about Stevie Nicks they were never married though they were a couple for many yrs. Stevie wrote Dreams and Silver Springs about Lindsey. Earlier live performances you can feel the tension between them. Would help to check out the lyrics. 😊

Biss! Fleetwood Mac!!! Yeahhhh! The "breakups" wre between the lead guitarist and blonde lead singer and the blonde keyboard, Christine and the bass player, John McVie (wearing the hat). Keyboardist and bass player were married and lead guitarist and blonde singer had been as couple for many many year. The dark-haired guitarist with the sick guitare licks is Lindsey Buckingham and the blonde singer, dressed all in black with the tambourine, is Stevie Nicks. They are both amazing musical artists in their own right have had and do have amazing solo careers in the own right. Stevie is what one may call an "ICON" if you will and remains very popular even today. With this specific line-up, they are and have been a very popular band since 1975 until around 1987 when they stopped making music all together. This performance from their come-back tour in 1997. As you can see, still very amazing live on stage, playing with passion and love for craft. The drummer, Mick Fleetwod, has been with them since the beginning when the band originally formed in 1967 I believe Yeah, at the time, I"m sure a painful and bitter experience as all breakups are and can be but yeah, by this time, it is just sweet and can tell they call love one another and vibe so well as a whole I could recommend so many songs for them Fleetwood Mac: **RHIANNON** **DREAMS** **DON'T STOP** and **GYPSY** For Stevie, I'd recommend **EDGE OF SEVENTEEN** **LEATHER AND LACE** **TALK TO ME** and **LANDSLIDE** .... You really can't go wrong with any of them! Love the reaction. Keep 'em coming! Cheers!!!

Silver Springs, Chains, Don't Stop, Tusk, etc.

Stevie and Lindsey got the devotes. She’s a goddess and he’s a beast in his own right. His song house on the hill is bad ass also

This performance was in 1997? This band had already been singing that song again and again for 20 years!!

A common Fleetwood Mac suggestion is their live performance of Rhiannon on the Midnight Special. It is spectacular. Also really, really good would be Silver Springs and Landslide both performed live on their tv reunion special The Dance. Dreams and The Chain should also be on your list. You are going to hear a lot about Stevie Nicks.....she is the goddess of rock....a force of nature

If you want a sadder FM song, definitely check out the live version of *Silver Springs* from this same concert (The Dance). Stevie Nicks (the female vocalists singing center stage) does the lead vocals and it’s just such a spellbinding and beautiful performance. But other than that, this band has A TON of amazing songs that I hope you get to listen to!

Miss Bisscute, I loved your reaction as usual💓💓. Great choice, Fleetwood Mac is an iconic band and a Rock Hall of Fame legend with great musicians and Stevie Nicks singer, the first female two-time member of the Rock Hall of Fame. For future reactions to their songs there are so many suggestions, I recommend the following: The Chain, Big Love, Don't say that you love me, Little lies, Everywhere, Tusk. and you should also react to Stevie Nicks in her solo career with Edge of Seventeen. You will love it.

this band and this album were well known in the usa....i think you will like this one...

The drummer's name is Mick FLEETWOOD - yes, he's the band's namesake.

actually it is an anger beat...the album rumors mick fleetwood's drumming just takes it to another level and always gave me the spine tingles...even mcvie's bass is fantastically harsh

Rumors a jewel you have to get in your discography !!

This was an amazing performance, considering it was 20 years after the initial release of the song. I think that by 1997, a lot of the pain had been worked out of the relationship between Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham, but when it was still fresh, in an official video from 1977 poor Stevie has tears in her eyes, having to back up her former love Lindsay on vocals. A monumental hit and part of the canon of great Fleetwood Mac songs.

This is an angry, aggressive song. That's why it is continual with the beat and the pressure.

Given that the original release of this song was back in the 1970's, "Fleetwood Mac" still sounded great in 1997.

@Bisscute I HIIIIIIIIIIIGHLY recommend that you also check out the Silver Springs performance from this concert. You wont be disappointed...

Biss, you are correct! It is a funny song rhythmically. Lindsay Buckingham said that he tried to show Mick Fleetwood how he wanted him to play it on the drums, but Mick played it his own way and that's the way it wound up. The chemistry between Lindsay and Stevie Nicks is undeniable, but they just finally realized they couldn't work things out. If you ask me, this will always be THE quintessential Fleetwood Mac song.

There are at least a dozen songs from Fleetwood Mac that you will love but there are several I think are worthy of attention although they got very little radio play over the years. One is "Hypnotized" and the other is "Mesmerized" - check them out! I think you'll like both of them

Great Band liked them for years.

The song Silver Springs from the Dance is a must.

Rumors is one of the best albums ever made. Certainly one of the greatest in the 70’s. Lindsey Buckingham is a genius musician and an incredibly talented band. Would be great if you reacted to hit after hit from this iconic album.

I can't think of a single bad song Fleetwood Mac recorded. The drummer is Mick Fleetwood who is a giant of a man, hence the large drumkit and the bassist is John McVie, hence the name Fleetwood Mac. The keyboardist is Christine McVie who married John. The female vocalist is Stevie Nicks who has one of the most glorious rock voices ever. The lead guitarist is Lindsey Buckingham, who has a most unusual guitar playing style but is an absolute virtuoso. He was in a relationship with Stevie and she joined the band with him (it was a deal breaker) when the previous lead guitarist, Peter Green, left owing to mental health problems. There was rarely a month went by without some kind of friction in the band but on stage you would never know it. They are, for me, one of top 10 bands of all time.

So happy you are doing Fleetwood Mac. I remember watching this concert when it first came out. I definitely recommend the last two songs in this concert which are Tusk and Dont Stop. I also recommend The Chain as well. Great reaction Biss!! ❤👏👏

Hi Bisscute!Fleetwood Mac is an awesome band. The story about both couple’s divorcing and rising above their heartache to continue their music is amazing. Their Rumor Album is a lot about their personal turmoil.

As much as I know you love to react to live performances, and they're great, the studio version really shows off their voices and musical talents. They had so many great songs. I'd love to see you react to Landslide (great live version!) and Rhiannon.

I remember watching a Marvel movie called Guardians of the Galaxy and it made me love the Fleetwood Mac song, “The Chain”

If I remember correctly, this was a reunion concert. Lindsey and Stevie had both left the band for awhile. You can tell from the emotions in this performance, that some time has passed since the breakup.

This is the best road trip song ever!

The other side of the argument, such as it was, can be heard in "Dreams" and "Silver Springs".

Hello Miss Bisscute !!! ( RIP Christine McVie 🌹💔 😭 ) another tremendous Artist lost to the world 🌎 A beautiful light 🕯️ indeed one of my personal favorites is A slow song called ( Song bird ) on 🎹 piano Yet Eva Cassidy covered it on Guitar 🎸 Both are most excellent takes you should hear for yourself !!! As always the like button 🔘 has been Illuminated.😎👍👍🎃💀

For something you hVe probably not seen before, watch the performance of "Tusk" from this The Dance concert. The USC marching band joins them!

Lucky to see fleetwood mac in 2015 brilliant Lindsay on guitar 🎸

Fleetwood Mac will always get you a thumbs up from me.

yes ...this was in front of everyone, but they had such a great band they stayed together

To really get the effects of the songs from Rumours, you need to watch concert videos closer to the date that the Rumours tour was happening, then you will see the raw feelings of 3 break ups that were happening in the group. The videos you are watching are so many years after the event that all those raw feelings had plenty of time to have disappeared.

Hi B , my son and I are both huge fans. I must say with this song studio version is a must.

The two Fleetwood Mac songs you MUST react to one day are "The Chain" (live if you want to see and feel the tension), and "Songbird"!!

Love seeing Stevie just stare at Lindsey right before the 2nd verse, which includes the infamous line about her. "Packin' up, shacking up's all you wanna do".. and she sings right along with him.

One of my favorite bands there’s a history between Lyndsey and Stevie

This song was done by Lindsey Buckingham and sung by him. His take on what Stevie Nicks meant to him at the time.

One of my favourites all time 😎🇧🇻

The song is not about Christine and John McVie's divorce (which Christine wrote "Don't Stop" about, then she wrote "You Make Loving Fun" about her affair with the band's lighting director) but written by Lindsey Buckingham about the break up of his relationship with Stevie Nicks (he also wrote "Second Hand News" about it). Nicks wrote "Dreams" about the break up The break up was very toxic by all accounts and you can see this in the way that Nicks and Buckingham look at each other during this performance. The band began in 1967, had some line up changes, Christine McVie joined in 1970 (after being in the band Chicken Shack, having one solo album and then leaving the music industry) and Nicks and Buckingham joined in late1974. Buckingham left the band just before a tour in 1987 after an argument, rejoined in 1997 and was fired in 2018 after another argument. Both Nicks and Christine McVie left the band and later rejoined. Fleetwood had a brief affair with Nicks. So, great music (both the original group and the mid 70s onwards version) and interesting band dynamics.

Soch a phenomenal band. Love 'em.

In the studio version, the introduction isn't nearly as long. Fleetwood Mac have many, many great songs.

Lead guitarist Lyndsey Buckingham wrote this about his relationship with lead singer Stevie Nicks. She then wrote a song in response--"Dreams", it was their only number #1 hit. You should react to that song next.

John and Christine McVee still to this day still play with Fleetwood Mac. You should listen to "Tusk". It's a great fun song.

Lyndsay Buckingham should make everyone’s list of most underrated guitar players of all time

Two bands in the same basic time period going through the same things-ish: Fleetwood Mac and ABBA. Two couples in each, two splits in each. As for pop music, there's a tradition of making songs on sad or angry subjects and making it an upbeat song anyway.

It sounds like you were expecting "The winner takes it all" from ABBA. Another story about a divorced couple remaining in the band. You can feel the pain in the vocals of a group that any other song, is upbit and uplifting.

Stevie Nicks on lead vocals along with Lindsay Buckingham they were both an item back then Christine and John Mcvie where the British side of the band Christine on Piano John on Bass guitar Mick Fleetwood on drums was also going through a divorce with his wife. Lyndsay Buckingham was also the lead guitarist. You should listen to little lies by Christine Mcvie.

The GREAT FLEETWOOD MAC! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rumours is one of the greatest albums ever. It could have been titled “I Got Shit I Want To Say About Each And Every One Of You”

Neil Finn opened up for them on this tour and they would frequently bring him out.

The first single record I ever bought was Fleetwood Mac's 'Man of the World' and it's still worth a listen.

Wonderful Band. This Song was on their Signature Album which is an Absolutely Amazing Album as 2 Critical Members of the Bands Relationships were falling apart and is still contentious to this day

You’re getting the dichotomy of Fleetwood Mac. Sing upbeat rockin’ songs while your heart is being torn to spreads and you get to stare down your ex. There were multiple breakups going on. The whole Rumors and also Fleetwood Mac albums were awesome works of music. It’s a helluva rabbit hole. Welcome to The Mac. Try Rhiannon next if you want some Stevie.

Love this entire concert. Good choice for a reaction. "Tusk" from this concert is great fun also!

You must listen to the live version of "Silver Springs" from the same concert. It was so tense, it was great!

Premium ART

Ohh great group,great songs, ,like other guy said keep the 70-80's coming 👍

From the same concert you should listen So afraid, it's just amazing

I love Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Gypsy is probably my favorite song.

Congrat Bisscute for choose this great great song For me Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest bands of 70s and 80s And a few greatest hits in these years With the greats girl singers with Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie twoamazing vocalist ever...

From an albun that is in the top 10 bestselling album of all time, so go girl, you can dig into the Mac :)

if you get it you get it

Actually, Lindsey wrote this song in retaliation of the song Dreams which Stevie wrote after ending things with him

If you want more emotion you want to react to “Silver Spring” from this same 1997 concert. I think that’s the song you’re looking for.

This song was released in 1977 on the Rumours album - and this performance was in 1997 from "The Dance" live tour - so 20 years to work through the pain. Lindsey (lead guitar) and Stevie (lead vocals) were in a relationship that broke up during the Romours album. Christine (keyboards) and John (base guitar) were married and got divorced. Mick (drums) was also married and ended up divorced shortly after.

Try "Landslide" next. You'll love it.

Hi Biss. Fleetwood Mac is a great group. Please stick around and check them out. This 1997 concert is a reunion concert/toûr. The band has been around since the 60s. Stevie Nicks & Linsay Buckingham joined band in 75. They were a couple, but never married. But most of the popular songs are about their break up. As is this song. Writen by Lindsey Buckingham to Stevie nicks there huge album, Rumors, 1977, were all songs about their break up, abd the divorce of christine and John Mccvie. Christine piano, keyboards, vocals. John bass guitar. Mick Fleetwood on drums. He had an affaire with Stevie as well. Christie had an affair with a band technician. She wrote a song about it too. You make loving fun. These people are wonderful song writers. Rumors is one of the best sellin albums of all time. So many songs to check out... The Chain, Dreams, gypsy, gold dust woman, landslide, silver springs, dont stop, big love, im so afaid, tusk, Rhiannon (live midnight special 1976). Do most of those songs live. You wont regret it. The show yoy just watched, The Dance is a great one to do it from. Silver springs, landslide, tusk for sure. Silver springs n Landslide will hit you....

This is the best version Well done

Awesome song and group.Stevie and Lindsay had been in a relationship and this song is they're prospectives of it.keep the 70s and 80s comin😁

I recommend this from the same show "Fleetwood Mac - Tusk LIVE @ "The Dance" it has a surprise in the middle. I think you will like this.

Saw them in concert on their 'Rumours Tour' back in 1977 (Kiel Auditorium / Saint Louis, MO). What a great concert...

People would not know about stevie nicks if wasn't for lindsey buckingham insisted that she be in fleetwood mac they lived together for 6yrs and they made rumors that was it.

I think you should react to them in their prime. 1975-1987

The drummer is Mick Fleetwood by the way

No Sadness here. Anymore. Stevie Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham are just good friends now and (as with the entire Band) work professionally to make excellent music together. YES, "Amicable". Well said Biss! This concert in 1997 was phenomenal! is a MUST HAVE in your collection! The residing President and First Lady were in attendance. Thanks, Bisscute!!

I don't usually get too upset about celebrities passing away - after all, we all have to go sometime - but Christine really hit me. FM were one of the first bands I really started to follow. They were the soundtrack to my university days. And seeing her here brings a tear to my eye all over again. Having said that, this is my favourite song ever, I think - it has meaning for me. I don't think this was a particularly good recording - sounded a bit flat to me, maybe the mix was wrong. You really need to hear the studio version: Lyndsey's guitar, Mick Fleetwood's fantastic drumming. On the other hand, with the studio version you don't get to see the looks that Lyndsey and Stevie are giving each other . . . Do 'Isn't It Midnight' next, my favourite Christine song.

I would happily watch you listen to every Fleetwood Mac song ever.

Best song with Stevie Nicks (the singer) is "Stand Back".

Fleetwood Mac were absolutely fecking savage. Imagine writing songs like this knowing that you would be making your ex sing them on stage with you. Don't worry Lindsay Buckingham may have written this one to torture Stevie Nicks with, but she certainly got plenty of her own revenge with the lyrics of other songs that HE had to join her with singing. Like Dreams. Nor was Christine McVie any more gentle when she wrote Little Lies. They all were absolutely brutal, and their relationships were a mess. Luckily we got to experience it all.

Gold Dust Woman, Dreams, The Chain. Keep going Bisscute.
