You hit the nail on the head, the chain is the band. The members were tearing each other apart with personal drama, the entirety of Rumours is filled with breakup songs and snide remarks but they were chained together by the knowledge they were making something beautiful out of their pain.

5:46 that bass line melted her face.

I've loved Fleetwood Mac most of my life. R.I.P. Christine....sorely missed. Stevie is an American treasure.

You need to see them live in the 70's. Check out their performance of "Rhiannon" live on the Midnight Special....it's a spectacular performance.

That bass line drop is still one of the BEST ever written or recorded. Just the way the entire vibe of the song goes "umph" when that bass guitar goes "ooom".

the guitar Lindsey Buckingham is using is a specific acoustic/electric hybrid instrument he got designed for himself .. it is very cool in my opinion

Notice Stevie and Buckingham are laying THEIR drama out right there on the stage! :)

Lindsey Buckingham is an amazing guitarist, singer, and songwriter. It's sad that he is no longer with Fleetwood Mac. They owe a lot of their success to him.

The 2 singers were singing to each other because it was written about them.

Fleetwood Mac wrote 'The Chain' for their 1977 album 'Rumours'... Stevie Nicks (vocals) wrote the original demo... the band re-made the song and added more parts... it became a song about the band and was credited to all 5 members. At that point in 1977, Fleetwood Mac was becoming a soap opera... Stevie Nicks (vocals) & Lindsey Buckingham (guitar & vocals) were a couple and they were breaking up during the recording... (the late) Christine McVie (keyboards & vocals) and her husband John McVie (bass) had separated, and Christine was dating someone else... Mick Fleetwood (drums) got divorced from his wife at the same time... So, there was plenty of heartbreak while this song was being recorded... A while later, Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks started dating as a couple, and they had to eventually tell Lindsey... but it didn't last. Mick Fleetwood apparently dumped Stevie for her friend Sara, whom he married for a while... Thankfully, Lindsey Buckingham, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood eventually got happily married to new women not in the band! Stevie Nicks only briefly married a friend, but has been single w/ no children... Christine McVie married one more time after John McVie but divorced and she stayed friends w/ her ex John McVie... She passed away in 2022 w/ no children.

You should see their performance of "TUSK", from this show. It was their encore, and they brought out the University of Southern California Marching Band on stage, to play the end of the song. It's absolutely breathtaking!

After more then 4 decades of listening to this song I never realized the western feeling

By the time of this video,, It's long after the troubles of their past & for the most part,, They have put that all behind them..And yes,, It's no secret that "The Chain" is the band.

Check out Silver Springs live in 2015 , the chemistry between Stevie and Lyndsay after all them years is off the scale . Lovely reaction !

This whole live performance was flawless.

Another great song from the "Rumours" album. "The Chain" was written during the turmoil in all of their lives. Lindsay Buckingham & Stevie Nicks were ending their years long relationship, John & Christine McVie's marriage broke down, as did that of Mick Fleetwood & his wife Jenny Boyd. Their album "Rumours" (1977) is one of the best-selling albums in history. All the songs on it are great such as "Dreams", "Go Your Own Way", "Don't Stop", "You Make Loving Fun". "Second Hand News", "Gold Dust Woman" etc. Sadly Christine McVie passed away recently.

I think when they wrote and recorded these songs for the "Rumors" album and then performed them live, it was their form of therapy to get past those personal moments. It seemed to have worked over the years because they still remain great friends and even before the passing of Christine any remaining underlaying animosity has been resolved. This band made beautiful music out of their turmoil and did it in a way that can not be repeated.

You nailed it. I believe it was the only song they did that had writing credits for all 5 members. I remember reading an article in Rolling Stone where the writer was present for a rehearsal and he or she (don't remember) described a rehearsal of this song and how much electricity and tension there was in the air when they finished it.

Nothing greater than the band staying together at this point. I love all the different incarnations of Fleetwood Mac. Every key member was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame except Bob Welch. I believe he should have been inducted. My song recommendation is Bob Welch solo song version of Sentimental Lady. Live version with Christine McVie. 😊😊😊❤❤

YES! The Chain is the connection of the band!

I have also loved Fleetwood Mac And Stevie Nicks, which has one of the most unique voices I never tire of; Rhiannon and Edge of Seventeen are my two favorites.

The Instrumental part is used in the UK for the opening the F1 Grand Prix coverage. When I'm waiting at traffic lights, I play it as i'm about to release the clutch and see the others, in my rear view mirror, choking in my dust ... VVVRROOOOOOOOMMMMMM 🏁🏎💥💨💨💨💨💨💨💥 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9t0o8tlmMqxmZ8.html

I've always been in love 💕 with Stevie Nicks. Got to be 50 years now. RIP Christine McVie. Almost a year since we lost her

"I remember when "Rumors" was released which had the song "The Chain" on it.I was 14 or 15,thanx for the good memories lovely one.

The chain is the band for sure. The guitarist was with the singer with the long haired Stevie Nicks. Then with the drummer.

I love this song. When I listen to this is in my head at least all day, it's sooo catchy. What an absolute classic.

"There is beef there". Oh man that is precious.

i see that stanky face when the bass and then the guitar kicked in and the drums leading the whole thing, definitely one of the top songs of all time

A MUST HEAR Classic,, Fleetwood Mac "Hypnotized"...TRUST ME on this one my music lovin' sister!!

The whole album is an ocean of each members emotions and worth a listen. One of the great rock n roll albums of all time. From their 1st album listen to Rhianon live ‘76. See some Stevie magic

Mick Fleetwood had a restaurant in Lahaina Town Maui that was destroyed in the fire. He used to go there periodically and play, and at times with local musicians. So sad it's not around anymore. Hopefully he will rebuild it.

This is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. It’s the first gong I’ve heard, I’ve realized that my mom likes it as much as i do

the drama that was occurring with the band during the making of Rumors album is unbelievable

This is off Rumours... the best record ever released. so much emotion

Right about the chain being the band. Keeping all of them together.

Literally one of the greatest bands to ever take the stage. I'm so glad you picked this performance. I watched it at the time, and owned the DVD. The guitarist, Lindsay Buckingham, is the reason I first learned to finger-pick on guitar. The history, and the mythos of Fleetwood Mac is quite impressive.

If you look at the singer Stevie Nick's when she sings the chorus, she is singing at the guitarists Lindsay Buckingham. She wrote the lyrics and it's about the failing relationship.

This live performance of Chain is awesome! Great reaction Biss! ❤💛

The 1982 version is so much more savage as their pain is so raw at the time.

Glad you got a chance to see this! If you ever have time (not necessarily for a reaction), the most infamous performance of this song where all the drama REALLY comes out in the is in a video titled, "Fleetwood Mac ~ The Chain ~ Live 1982". 100% worth the watch, even if privately, because it's an incredible performance, and really draws you in to all the deep feels. ❤

There's been a lot of turmoil within Fleetwood Mac, so yeah...a lot of their songs are directly about their relationships and what's going on with the band. The surprising part is that they've managed to come together even through the years of drama. All of the members are individually awesome and it is magic when they all get together like this.

Most beautiful lady on the planet….Miss Biscute ❤❤❤❤ love your enthusiasm for music

Fleetwood Mac-“Silver Springs”live The Dance ✌🏻

The chain 1982 video is the one you can see the tension and the release it in the song onstage.

Takes me back to the 80's and BBC and the late great Murray Walker....Great song :)

As a teenager in the 90’s this show introduced me to Fleetwood Mac and made me a fan. I’ve always been a metal head first. But also a big fan of grunge and classic rock as well.

Was low key waiting to see that stank face the moment the bass guitar kicked in since the first Fleetwood Mac reaction lol

The chain is ❤! True unconditional ❤ Forever love. Whether it be partner, friends, family, so on. To me

Gotta react to Rhiannon Live in 1976 on The Midnight Special... Check out Stevie, and see why she is a ROCK GODDESS!!!❤❤❤❤

I absolutely Love your analyses of what you observed with knowing their relationship. You are so cute when you roll with your thoughts. Great song and great reaction!🙏🏼🌹💕

Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the band as a couple and broke up sometime later, but remained in the band. This song is one of a series of back and forth between them that amounts to the longest breakup in the history of the world. Listen to Go Your Own Way, Big Love, Blue Letter and Rumors.

amazing concert. The USC (University of Southern California - Trojans) marching band came marching out playing for the song Tusk!! R.I.P. Christine!! It's a breakup song between Lindsey (guitar) and Stevie Nicks!

A chain is a reference the the links that make up a chain. Being the band members are the links and the band is the chain. If one link is broken then the chain is broken. At least that is what I have always been led to believe and this band is one I grew up.

Yup, one of the biggest selling groups in the 1970's which is huge

Almost all of their songs are about their relationships and heartbreaks. Check out "I'm So Afraid" and "Silver Spring"!! Can't go wrong with any of their songs!! Both songs are in this same concert!!!! Enjoy the rabbit hole....its a doozy!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🎤🥁🎧🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

Those bass notes were eargasm.

Most of the songs are based on their own relationships..It's what makes them great. Back in the day, the guitar solo was used for the intro to Formula One on the BBC.

Great song. Always had a crush on Stevie Nicks 😊

It has one of the most addicting melodies ever, nice reaction Biss

The Chain is on of my favorite songs by Fleetwood Mack.Stevie Nicks is one of the most talented and beautiful women in rock music.You have to react to Edge of Seventeen.You'll love when the audience showers her with flowers and stuffed animals!

Excellent reaction Miss Bisscute, congratulations and thank you👍👍. I loved seeing you close your eyes and enjoy the music and the rhythm. F.M is an iconic band and has great songs. If you liked The Chain, I suggest for future reactions the following songs by the group: Big Love, Say you love me, Tusk, Hold me, Don't Stop, Everywhere and their classic Hit: Little Lies. You should also react to Stevie Nicks (the singer) in her solo career and I recommend her classic song: Edge of Seventeen and the wonderful duet she did with Tom Petty: Stop Draggin My Heart Around, you will love it.💓😉

After this on you react to the songs, you make loving fun, gypsy, and landslide those were also played at that concert

Stevie Nicks was staring daggers at Buckingham!!! That's what could be said about Fleetwood Mac: a lot of damn fine songs, and too much damn drama. Another truly excellent track from that concert is "Tusk" (see "Tusk (Official Live Video) [HD]").

Love your reaction. from the same gig you need to watch " Fleetwood Mac "The Dance" TUSK" copy and paste between ". This will get you the right video. This has a big big surprise

Hi Miss Bisscute !!! There are many Great songs by Fleetwood Mac here is one written by Christine McVie called ( Songbird ) on piano 🎹 Yet you should check out the different interpretation of Eva Cassidy 's ( Song bird ) on Guitar 🎸 As well 😊

And, that is the first song, of the concert!! 😎

Love all FM songs. You should hear "Sing Child" and "Cook With Fire" and "White Lightning and Wine" and "Little Queen" and "Love Alive" and and and...I could go on all day😅Have fun❤

Love them. Thanks doll. I was there for them back in the day and am still loving their stuff till this day. Still loving you, too, Your sooo cute with the super sexy accent, Miss Biss. Shoutout from this old, longhaired hippy in the States. See ya on the next. Peace and love. Later.

I could hang with you, Bisscute, very cool girl. Yup, this whole concert is a gem, best I've ever seen them. The reunion served them well and we were the beneficiaries.

I love how you appreciate good music. Nice rection ! ❤

This concert was a historic reunion for Fleetwood Mac in 1997... They had not performed w/ this line-up (Lindsey Buckingham on guitar & vocals) since the 80's... Steve Nicks had also left the band by 1992. Fleetwood Mac was on hiatus by 1995. In 1996, US President Bill Clinton won his re-election... he used Fleetwood Mac's song "Don't stop" at his rallies and thanked the band by inviting them to play at his 1997 inauguration - it was the first time they had played together in a decade. The reception was so huge that they decided to reunite the classic Fleetwood Mac line-up in 1997 and a live album 'The Dance' was released that year... it went to #1 on the US charts and sold 5x platinum. A major comeback tour followed. However, Christine McVie (keyboard & vocals) left the band in 1999 weary of touring... She returned to Fleetwood Mac to tour again in 2014 after 15 years away and did their last tours before she passed away in 2022.

During the recording of this album the band were married to each other and cheating on each other with the other band members. the fact this album got completed was a miracle but you need to check out the song Songbird off the album by far the best break up song ever.

You should react to Silver Springs. You'll see Stevie really laying into Lindsey singing directly AT him the song she wrote about him. It's good stuff.

R.I.P. Christine 🙏❤️

Check out Fleetwood Mac "Silver Springs" from that same concert. Its much more powerful and emotional

soundtrack for the grand prix.

Rumors had some of there best work on that LP

I think the songs sound better on video if it’s not live. The rumours album is always one of their best and most iconic. Should definitely do more fleetwood Mac songs

This was a great concert. Boomers love you kids listening to the music we grew up with. We had a musical moment in time that was special.

Something more about how the band works. Generally, whoever wrote the song, sung it and with three songwriters, it makes for a lot of variation in the music and vocals.

I saw Fleetwood Mac at the University of Arizona's Wildcat Stadium in Tucson in 1977. I had a stage pass so I was watching them on the left wing of the stage. They were an incredibly tight band and this concert was of particular meaning to Stevie Nicks because it was a benefit concert for the American Heart Association. She was raised in Tucson and her father, who suffered from heart disease, lived there. In addition to Fleetwood Mac, the Marshall Tucker Band and Kenny Loggins also performed. I was going to a lot of concerts in those days.

That is not a "Western twang" in this song. It is straight up mainstream rock from the 1970's. Mick Fleetwood, the drummer and leader is English, and his group was always rock and blues in its orientation. Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks are an American duo that Fleetwood brought into his group in the mid-1970's. Fleetwood Mac has sold millions of albums and toured successfully for decades. Glad you like them. This group has had a huge presence, especially since the Rumours album came out in 1977, and they just retired from touring in recent years.

You need to see the 1982 live version of The Chain. The emotions are much rawer and intense than in this version.

The chain may be a reference to the type of chains having to do with chain letters. Letters that are sent which, supposedly if they aren't answered, something evil will happen to you. That's breaking the chain.

The second half of this song... starting with the bass and Lyndsay saying running in the shadows... that was all they had of this song... that part was just something the band used to play to get warmed up and to just jam to... Stevie asked if they would record that and if she could take it home to make a song... they said ok.. and this is what she came back with...

Good choice Bisscute 😁👌I saw them once in Montreal very good show to see ❤

Yes the bond . The Band and Lindsey and Stevie were in a relationship and broke up while at their height . And had to tour during it .

My first concert ever- mid seventies.

no one knew who was f1!cking who, they all kinda did it, that old 60's feel.

It's a Beautiful Day, White Bird

The Chain is the Band....

You understood the song very well and very quickly put 2and 2 together

The bass lead bridge was used as the music to open BBC Formula One, motor racing coverage - never were two disperate entities brought together so beautifully!

I'm with you. The chain is the band.

I'm glad you chose a live performance - great reaction - thanks for posting this.

An old English slang for "wife" is "ball-and-chain", or "the old ball-and-chain". It refers to a form of leg shackle where an iron bracelet around a prisoner's ankle was welded to a chain welded to a cannonball. A kind of brutality from the period of the slave trade and western European imperial conquests around the world. So The Chain could also be the vows of marriage, and breaking the chain then meaning divorce.

I know youths don't listen to full albums anymore, but Rumours is one of those albums where you throw on some headphones, lay on the living room floor, and listen to the whole thing. Unless it's on vinyl like my copy, then you have to get up in the middle and flip the damn thing. As a full album it's second (for me at least) maybe only to the Division Bell (pink floyd) - that album is my chill place.

The internal drama among them, helped, ironically, to create one of the top seller 1970`s album ever, and it does still today, the amazing 1977 album "Rumours". Sadly, piano player, Christine Mc Vie, wife of bassist John Mc Vie, passed away a few months ago. The Chain..... will keep us together...what a message.

For an older person from the UK - the Chain = BBC intro music for F1 🙂
