FORREAL.

I know me too!

Oh yeah, very creepy!

Probably him too lol

And he won't...

He sings backup as well. They both knew how tough this was and both knew the high art that comes out of it.

He also kinda sorta wrote Go Your Own Way which was pretty brutal..."packing up shacking up is all you want to do". I'd say they're pretty much even.

Lindsay had already written, and sung at her, "Go Your Own Way." Come off. He's no hero.

Yeah, he did the same to her with his songs, “The Chain “ and “You Can Go Your Own Way”.

His wife was also in the audience

It made it onto the DVD-A version of Rumours. Anyone with a DVD player should run and buy this version. This surround version of this album is excellent and was also re-mixed for that format.

It eventually made it onto the album around 2004 when they remastered it

Best Stevie Nicks song. Beautiful, and it must have been tough for her to sing in concert..with Lindsey staring at her.

Absolutely!

There is a reason that every time they fire Lindsey they have to get 2 people to replace him

Glad I'm not the only one to notice. I've been giving myself blisters for years trying to play like him. Check him out in this video. Just him and his guitar. Beautiful man. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7dgdbiGqrSlk40.html

Absolutely. 🥺

You gotta really have love for someone to still be upset Fifty years later, and to play it out publicly. Buckingham and Nicks are one of the greatest rock duos and couples, and they know art- their pain is our gain and I'm forever grateful lol

Don’t forget Mick was breaking up with his wife at the time Jenny Boyd. That’s three couple.

Yes, but the band members put the band ahead of all the personal drama for the most part (That's what the song The Chain is all about).... there was a time when Lindsey did leave FWM (1987). At the height of their success with the Rumors record (1977), Stevie said was the most miserable time for her and that she was a pretty unhappy person. But the fans loved it and the record sales were enormous.

Go listen to the first live version of Rhiannon. Different words. Much more passion

Yes! I’ve commented the same on so many channels! Hearing AND seeing THE DANCE reunion/ concert is a must- Epic-✨🔥

Right? I don't get it. I love the emotion in the song. The sadness and hurt: *"Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget me! I know I could've loved you, but you wouldn't let me!"* and then the anger and hurt!: *"I'll follow you down til the sound of my voice will haunt you! You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you!"* Holy shit! I felt as though she was *screaming* at me, and possibly every man who has pissed her off!

It should have been on the album

@@rossrubino9080 It is a great song, one of the best songs of the 1970s.

They are much more than Rumors. That's beginners Fleetwood Mac. Start at their Blues roots and go to the present. To see they're true evolution.

@@kurtsaxton823 true. No band has a more varied catalogue... From the British Blues of the Peter Green years to the psychedelic rock of Danny Kirwan to the jazzy Bob Welch stuff to the pop perfection of the Lindsay/Stevie years. Every album is a new adventure unlike the last one.

It's amazing today as when it was when it was released. I remember running out and buying the eight track and playing it over and over in my hippie van.

@@jasonremy1627 well said, although Stevie and Lindsay put a mainstream Peter Green ,Bob Welch and Christine McVie were just as influential if not more. Judas priest, Carlos Santana made hits out of their already hits.

This song wasn't even included on the album when released. Was only a B side to a single. However when the album was remastered it was added back to the album on most digital releases.

Yep. It was Peter Green that named the group after the drummer and bass player. Rattlesnake Shake is a real rocker. Green is regarded as one of the greatest rock guitarists ever. He was sidetracked by drugs and mental health issues. He died just a few years ago.

Danny Kirwan was also an amazing guitarist/songwriter for Fleetwood Mac.

@@muzbuz1043 He was, immensely talented for such a young age. And Jeremy Spencer was good as well, and the rhythm section weren't bad either :)

@@silgen 100%

@@muzbuz1043 Definitely. My first Mac album was Sands of Time.

This band had so many messed up stories. One of the guitarists in the band before Lindsay, Bob Weston, broke up Mick's marriage to his first wife, Jenny Boyd, and Mick threw him out of the band. Then Lindsay joins the band with Stevie, and within a few years it's Mick stealing his woman...

@@jasonremy1627 and Peter Green who started the band went thru decades of mental illness and was destitute

@@jasonremy1627 yeah I guess the "free love" vibe was dying out by the mid/late seventies. lol it looks like some were trying to keep it alive though!

@@bobbyn.9773 the other original guitarist Jeremy Spencer ducked out of rehearsal one day to pick up a magazine from the newsstand, joined a cult, and was basically never heard from again.

@@jasonremy1627 Jeeesus...freaking nightmare

And then she fired him.

@@saraheart2804 Well, she ALWAYS put FM ahead of her solo career. He did not.

@@lizetteolsen3218 Her solo career was more successful than his, but yes - he was more obsessed with proving he could be a success away from FM. TBH, don’t most people think he would’ve ended up quitting FM within a couple of years of joining if Stevie hadn’t joined with him? He wasn’t really sure about joining in the first place if I recall right.

@@saraheart2804 Her trying to quit the band because she simply didn’t want to deal with his personality anymore and the band choosing her over him was her firing him?

@@lizetteolsen3218 😂 No she did not. That's just Stevie's usual martyr spin. She showed up for one month of the six to record Mirage because she was working on her solo stuff. She showed up TWO weeks on the 18 months of making Tango In The Night to do her own tour, go to rehab (just 28 days though) then follow Tom Petty & Bob Dylan around like a groupie instead of writing songs and recording with her band. Then complained she wasn't on the album enough and threatened to go to Rolling Stone about it. So Lindsey added her into Little Lies. Meanwhile Lindsey was pressured into turning his 3rd solo album into TITN and then spent a year and half producing, arranging, recording, playing etc for a bunch of non functioning and mostly absent bandmates - except Chris. He'd been the main producer for all their albums even though they didn't deign to give him solo Producing credit until Mirage. He produced The Dance for them after they held an intervention and begged him to come back. Then once again with Say You Will, Mick and WB had him roll another solo album into an FM project. Meanwhile Stevie refused to record an album with Fleetwood Mac for the next 15 years even after Lindsey said they could get another producer and even after Chris came back. That record with Chris is what really pissed Stevie off - even though they stupidly didn't call it a FM album to placate her. She didn't like looking bad for not contributing and she didn't like the band making and releasing an album without her. And she really didn't like it was called Buckingham/McVie. In 2012 when FM was to tour she unilaterally announced no FM wasn't going to tour that year but instead she was taking another year for her album tour and if they didn't like it too bad. Mick had an interview in Rolling Stone where he called it the death of the band while Lindsey of all people defended her and said she should take the time she needed. But then in 2018 after ousting Lindsey she laughably lied on National TV that Lindsey refused to tour for a year and that no one member could hold up the band. He had the nerve to ask for 2 months delay after WB changed the released date for his solo album. (after his ouster they wound up delaying 2-3 months) When they refused he capitulated but asked if he could solo tour in between band dates since Stevie demanded 3 days between shows. But that request never even made it to Stevie before she issued her him or me ultimatum when she knew greedy Mick would never give up the bigger tour money she would bring. All he needed to do was pressure John - and majority rules. Chris was told after the deal was done. John later said it was a mistake and now Mick is back to kissing Lindsey's ass because he's the only one still creating and making music.

@@toddmathers5075I noticed that too. Lindsay seems far more bitter in interviews on the topic of Stevie. But I really couldn’t say what’s going on here. Maybe it’s just two musicians who have worked together for years bringing out the emotions for the sake of the performance.

Lindsey was not married. He briefly got back with Stevie and then told her his Gf was pregnant. Just before this. This was very real.

It (the studio version) was the flip side of “Go Your Own Way”

Because it didn't make it onto "Rumours." There wasn't enough room due to vinyl albums having a limited amount of space, and unfortunately, this song was the one that was dropped from the album. The live version was released as a single when "The Dance" was released in 1997, however.

@@gloriagaddy That’s right Gloria, I had forgotten that. Saw them tour this album in college a million yrs ago, and they did play it during their performances. There is a live audio from the LSU Assembly Center, on YT where I saw them that night. The official live version you mentioned IS THE best version imho. Lastly, maybe you know this as well. I think it’s was added to a reissue of “Rumors.” Any idea? Regards 🤘

@@ronwilcox7716 There you go. Thanks

@@ronaldelliott4373 I just wish it had more recognition at the time. I loved it before it finished playing the first time I heard it.

I still can't believe they decided to leave it off the Rumours album, Stevie said it broke her heart when they told her that there wasn't enough room for it on the album.

Well said!!!👊❤

AND Stevie started seeing the drummer Mick Fleetwood at the same time. With that much tension in the air, it’s a miracle they could even bear to still play as a band, let alone to produce a masterpiece like “Rumors”

The Chain Live from 1982. A must. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mq2pntp0lczIemg.html

There's a live version of "The Chain" somewhere out there that really shows the two of them playing off of each other like they mean it. I wish I'd known about that when I saw them live.

@@RetNemmoc555 Yeah, there's a video of The Chain from the Mirage tour, 1982, the LA show. The two of them are singing straight at each other like they're gonna kill each other.

Same!

@Phantom 1969 She also said that Lyndsay was very controlling and drove her away from him and she ended up having an affair with a guy that worked in a restaurant owned by a friend of hers ,and the guy she had an affair with was also named Lyndsay she told Rolling Stone magazine

@@bobbyn.9773 Meanwhile she also said when the Kristen Stewart/Director/Rob Pattinson scandal happened that KS shouldn't be judged because she [Stevie] too was once that age in a long term relationship and cheated 2 or 3 times but the man she was with then (coughLindseycough) forgave her because some times these things happen when you're young. Lindsey and his irrational dis-trustfulness. LOL

I still can't believe they left it off the Rumours album! Stevie said it broke her heart when they told her that there wasn't enough room for it on the album. They did however included as a b-side on the "Go Your Own Way" single. That's probably why it wasn't heard much back then.

Stevie gives him the death stare while singing if he told her he loved her. And he just stood there and took it because he knew it was true and it was just how their relationship went.

Singing it might be a little, or more than a little, cathartic. Getting any lingering anger out.

Yep Stevie really wanted this song on the rumors album but Mick and the producers told her there was not enough room for it, but they did put it on the b side of the "Go Your Own Way" single.

Cheated?! Uh, ive never heard that Lindsey ever cheated on Stevie. Ive never read any of their biographies, true. But ive followed them for almost 25 years and never mentioned Lindsey cheating lol.

@@yaze3316 I heard that he was messing around with randoms when he was on tour with the Everly Brothers. But that's just hearsay I've never heard that in an interview or anything.

Christine wrote the hit song “You Make Loving Fun” about her affair with one of their roadies.

Some of their best work is on that album in my opinion. I have it on vinyl. And the fact that it was recorded on the Neve doesn't hurt either. LOL

Wonderful album and you see everything they brought to FM that made them for a time the biggest band in the world - and why their music has sustained so long after. Also, so many songs they wrote for their second B&N album wound up on FM albums - Landslide, Rhiannon, Monday Morning, So Afraid, I Don't Want To Know, That's Alright as well as Crystal and Don't Let Me Down Again from their first album on Fleetwood Mac and Live.

Every time I hear Buckingham Nicks, I think to myself "who really joined who?". The Mac had the name and the contract but Buckingham Nicks brought the sound.

Yes.....I have that on vinyl and Long Distance Winner and Races are Run are 2 of my fav songs...

Sunflowers and your face fascinate me..... I need to go listen....

Also, the McVies were getting divorced as well. Literally everyone in the band was involved in some kind of relationship trouble. And doing massive amounts of blow. It's really a miracle they could do anything, never mind make one of the greatest albums of all time.
