Great Comment

I'm 10 months late replying to this, but very similar thing happened for me. FM was touring for Rumours when it first came out. Drove from Phoenix to Tucson to see them headline a 4 act concert at the UofA football stadium. (Kenny Logins, Marshall Tucker, and a local band also played). Had not really heard much about FM but GYOW was starting to get airplay. Heard them play Silver Spring (not Springs, btw everyone that misspells it) and loved it and her. It was only found on the B side of the GYOW single for years and years. Thankfully we have the 'net. Here's a link to an article about that concert. www.google.com/amp/s/tucson.com/entertainment/music/back-in-the-day-with-fleetwood-mac/article_1f69506d-af06-52e3-801e-876e301fb5c7.amp.html

Stevie Nicks was my first crush! Wait, Silver Spring is a place?❤️🙏👉🇺🇸👍

Your jaw dropped and your eyes got big. Great Post.

B side of "Go Your Own Day" her cry/singing is Spectacular!!. My Live in Boyfriend of 12 years left me suddenly, completelty uprooted my Life. I always play this song and cry for a Bit.

To be fair if I was Lindsey Buckingham, I wouldn’t want this song on the album either but I’m not Lindsey Buckingham so I agree why wasn’t this song on Rumors.

I dont want to know isnt a bad song tho, i like it very much but obviously silver springs is supreme

sometimes we should all cry to this song

Just came across this version, I think I like the dance one better. But this is good

Yeah me... Happy Memorial day weekend

Im here on June 19,2020

the planned scamdemic is still going strong... thanks a lot BillKill HellsGates Event 2O1 10/18/2019

Great song. This should be labeled (angry version). Like the version of "smile at you". Lol

The greatest

They gave her an ultimatum. Take a hike or sing a different song. Kudos to Stevie for not taking the hike. I don't do ultimatums. I would have told all of them to go fuck themselves. Fleetwood Mac would have been just a blip in history if she had taken the hike.

Fleetwood Mac would have been forgotten a long time ago if not for Stevie, She is The Only Reason their last tour made $125 Million.

which book?

don riley it's by far the best song from the "Rumours" era...

don riley That's rock n roll, and that's life for you... Stevie had the greatest song of Fleetwood Mac's catalog, oh sure they had a lot of great songs, but to have that one cut from their monster selling album, wow, well I'm glad it made a B-Side single. Same with "The Sundays" B-Side singles from "Static & Silence" or "Amy Winehouse" B-Sides singles and demos, gems to later discover. Look at James Taylor's biggest selling song isn't "Fire And Rain", or any of his other tons of songs, it's Carole King's "You've Got A Friend". Or Bruce Springsteen's biggest selling song is Manfred Mann Earthband's version of his "Blinded By The Light"... Or the piggish 'Eagles' had "Take It To The Limit", as their biggest selling song, sung by Randy Meisner, only for him to be discarded like trash by Glenn and Don. And they put half a dozen other songs on their greatest hits ahead of Randy Meisner's "Try And Love Again" which is absent, and we know all about their song "Hotel California", and how they they treated songwriter band member. Jackson Browne knew better, "Take It Easy", he got away from those guys quick. The wronged artists and twists in recording industry are just a microcosm of life's 'slights' and 'cruelties', but we persevere.... I worked in the music industry, in the 80's, it was getting more and more cruel back then, now it's 'straight up' demonic! ...

Same thing happened to me.. you're not alone :)

45 years later, I still dream about him…and we are still friends, but he’s married to someone else.

Does he know you still feel this much for him? ❤

Doesn’t matter . He’s married to another woman . He made his choice

Your not alone. I know my broken heart will never fully heal.

That lyric holds so much power in the final cut of the song, i used silver springs to cope with a breakup and that set of words solidified where i stood after it.

' Smile at You ' angry version is about Don Henley, it has some rip to it...

Hey thats so cool. I recently fell in love with this song. Absolutely Luv it :)

ED REED

Even better, she has said in interviews that she thought the place ‘Silver Spring’ sounded like a nice place & a place she imagined her and Lindsey could have settled down in & had a family, had they not joined FM. So the lyrics ‘you could be my Silver Silver springs’ is basically her saying this is what could have been!

I'm not saying she didn't have a drug problem everyone knows that but it wasn't cocaine that changed her voice. The Buckingham Nicks album was recorded in her early to mid 20's women's voices grow naturally deeper as they age. Stevie also stated smoking around the end of recording the Wild heart and didn't stop until the late 90's the smoking and age are the things that aged her voice and made it lower and more raspy. I also believe as she grew in confidence she sang more from a place of strength as opposed to being under Lindsey's thumb. Just my opinion.

@@scarletttrinity4008 She was also not a trained vocalist. She sings from her throat rather than from her diaphragm. I just finished reading Mick's autobiography and he mentioned that they once tried to get her to work with a vocal coach because her voice would be wiped out after sessions or concerts.

@@eauhomme Well I never said she was vocally trained, I simply explained that as a woman matures her voice changes. Even people who have taken care of their instruments. In addition to that Stevie's smoking (Kool menthol no less!) drug problems can change your voice. Even now she trains with Steve Real and she still has that wild and raw sound. Stevie is simply amazing. Its funny as I know she wasn't serious about taking care of her voice untill 1998 some of the old tours name Robin Anderson as Stevie's vocal coach. Lol I guess that's one way to have your BFF with you at all times.

@@scarletttrinity4008 Yes. I was agreeing with you, plus adding the information on her lack of training and singing style. I think she is amazing as well. Robin Anderson's death probably affected her more than any other event in her life from what I understand (including her marriage to Robin's widower, which she describes as a catastrophic mistake coming from mutual grief). Her voice shows raw emotion more than most out there, including this particular recording.

@@eauhomme Agreed.❤

=] good stuff .. reminded me of the old days of youtube lolll with the separate vids with diff qualities nd stuff haha .. " HQ VERSION!!!"

No One Will Ever Be Able to Sing the Way Stevie Does !

stop being such an ageist twat. this song was DROPPED from rumors and yet became a HIT twenty years later with its inclusion on The Dance. The kids got it

Wow. Well said. Really. i think it's left a LOT of ears ringing to. Always wanted to cover it, from the perspective of a guy, Talking to a guy friend about the same type of thing, like this : "DON"T tell me she was pretty, Buddy I don't wanna know. You KNOW she could have loved YOU but you would NOT LET HER. You won't forget her, man. She'll FOLLOW YOU DOWN TILL THE SOUND OF HER VOICE WILL H-A-U-N-T Your ass. AAAAHHHHA----AHHHHHHA-AHHHH" Pretty intense, this version, especially at toward the end where she decides to give a little PREVIEW! ha. OMG. That poor bastard.

Steve Layland, you ARE a pop tart old fart. Young people can appreciate this, old timer. You are no better than anyone else.

I’m 19 and in love with this song am I a pop tart?

I agree, I would put I don't wanna know or maybe even Dreams on the b-side, I know it sounds criminal but I think Silver Springs is the superior song. Maybe a double a-side non album single of Silver Springs and Planets of the Universe perhaps?

"I Don't Want to Know" was written by Stevie, not Christine Chris,Lindsey and Stevie singing in harmony to Stevie's lead vocal...though I would have preferred her lead vocal be much.more front and center than it was.

She wrote 6 songs for Rumors: 1) Dreams - made it to the album, was number one hit 2) Gold Dust Woman - one of her best songs ever written, easily in top 3 from the album 3) I Don't Want To Know - it's her and Lindsey's vocals with harmony from Christine. I love the song just think that her other songs for the album are better. For me no one from her songs here are B-side. 4) Silver Springs - My favorite song from Rumors. Instead, you know, never made it to the final album. Without this song my favorite have to be The Chain, but also the album sounds incomplete without Silver Springs to me. The best song ever that never made it to the album and was B-Side/Bonus track. 5) Planets of The Universe - This to me sounds like Stevie's "Songbird". Another all time favorite song. It's incredible song, screams album track. It would be good idea to have similar ballads from the two female singers in the album: "Planets of The Universe" from Stevie and "Songbird" from Christine. The song made it to one of Stevie's solo albums, but it was different version. This, the "Rumors" demo version is the best. 6) The Chain (Demo) - Some parts of this made it into the final cut of The Chain that we all know. The final version is one of the best songs ever written and probably because every member wrote something. But this demo version is different take of the song and shows the talent that Stevie have. Probably the only song that can go B-Side just because the final version is the best.

The chain was actually stevie’s song (lyrics melody and groove) but it was credited to the whole band

Because they were the artists involved and not you.

Keith Jetton This is not on BN.

Isn't it strange how perceptions differ? All I hear is love and regret.

Do you know “Fall from grace” from the Troubled in Shang Ra La album? She calls it her meanest song

@@Bartcmh yes, which I find odd because the lyrics are actually compellingly compassionate in many ways!

Or it could have been the coke. Just saying. I love this version better than any other variation of the song. One of my all time favorites, hands down.

:)

The vocals and much of the music of this recording was originally recorded in or before February 1976...as per Ken Caillat's vault recordings. This mix was from July 1976 before they tossed everything and started over again. Ken has his own personal cassette copies and there are: February 1976-same arrangement March 1976-same arrangement April 1976-same arrangement July 1976-same arrangement November 1976 Each month has its own uniqueness. February is definitely very raw and rough sounding with the music and somewhat faint vocals with a ton of reverb, yet beautiful overall. March has little to no reverb at all. A rough mix as well. April is similar to July (this video) as the organ was added and different volume levels on the instruments. July seems to be the final mix of this arrangement. November 1976 sounds very similar to what was released, but with a different guitar intro and a louder organ throughout the ending. November 1976 is here on KZfaq.

I disagree. There are a couple places here where she sounds so utterly destroyed, it kills me.

Sounds like a cover to me too…
