I love how when they start the song a single girl recognizes it first and just screams

I don't know how anyone can say she killed this song...it's one of the best covers I've ever heard.

It takes massive balls to cover such a beautiful song as this, and she does it justice. Both Stevie and Florence have brilliant voices.

That wasn't a cover it was a love letter to Fleetwood Mac and I liked it, same as the original

Nothing beats the original of course, but Florence's haunting vocals really put a different spin on the song. Really enjoyed that, but I am big Florence & the Machine fan as well.

Instead of trying to be Stevie, she sung it her style. Too many people make the mistake of covering a song and trying to sound like the orriginal.

this song makes you realize how big of an influence stevie must have been on florence

Florence was inspired by Fleetwood Mac, she loved this tune, you can almost imagine her head banging to this in her room as a child, the passion for the song she shows in this performance is amazing, of course its not the original but its a great individual take, delivered with a powerful live performance.

Awesome performance! Florence really put her all into this.

Gah, it's evident how much Florence loves this song. It's a joy to watch how energetic she is on stage and she did a great job with this cover.

This just made my life.

This made my life.

Such a good cover. I love their energy.

I'm a huge Fleetwood Mac fan and heard so many covers of The Chain which never stand up to the original... this is an epic cover! Rock on Flo! Ms Nicks would favourite this am sure!

My favourite song of all time and the song that made me want to play bass. Flo, dancing barefeet to its beat and singing it. What a beautiful time to be alive. If only I could ever be so lucky as to actually see her sing it.

8 years ago.. And still oh so beautiful!! The feels she brings to this song!!!

This is still a fantastic performance, yes, nothing will ever be better than Fleetwood Mac, but they are still recreating that gorgeous sound and Florence is singing with her own slant on it, which I quite enjoy!

this is so amazing....

Whether or not you don't like her voice is you and personal preference, not fact. But this is fact -- Florence Welch brings LIFE to music, and for that, I think Fleetwood mac is more than honored to have her cover this song.

Just when I lost hope for all of today's music. Love this Woman!

it's very difficult to cover this song, but i definitely think Florence + the machine did a good job, even if it doesn't do the song justice.

Good mix of Florence and Fleetwood's style

LOVE her dancing at 3.00 onwards. Absolutely brilliant, with the barefoot hippy dance, Great video, great cover of a classic track.

This is my favorite song of all time.....by my favorite artist of all time. She is so talented and has done such an amazing cover!

I love this. not comparing. when they Jam dam they can really wale!!

What makes the original the epic piece that it is was the fact that Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are able to harmonize so well together. That's what made them start making music together. I feel like that's what this lacking...there was no other voice for her to harmonize with, so it just didn't have the same feel. It sort of felt...empty. I do like her take on "running on the shadows" on the end.

Can't get this amazing cover out of my head!!!- I was lucky enough to see her at this years Glastonbury! She took my breath away...

Thank you for not butchering this song!!!! Great cover!!

i fucking love this ohmygerd shes so perfect

Love the original, like this cover. Florence doing a good job.

thanks for posting this it was 1 of my highlights at this yrs glasto...

Listening to this actually took me back to the original so at least I can compare both & you know what I loved BOTH!!!!!!!!!!

not being funny but if you've ever listened to Florence before you know this is her style of singing, and i'd be more disappointed if it sounded exactly like the original because the point of a cover is to put your own twist on it. Chill out a bit and let musicians pay tribute to other musicians however they wish to do so, and by the way i'm far far far more a fleetwood mac fan than a florence one

Its clearly obvious she loves the song and just wanted to do a one off cover to show that. Still dreaming of a florence and stevie nicks performance!

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. CAPITAL LETTERS ARE TEARS

what a cover! never expect anything less from florence

i bet if fleetwood mac came out now and say it was a good cover, the majority of you would change your tune. florence's voice is raw and majestic. it would be boring if she did exactly the same at the original. after all, that is the point of A COVER. to give their own twist and turn to it. otherwise it would seem redundant. so just fuck up about how you are disappointed with this cover because it's not the meant to be the exact same as the original.

The crowd’s reaction at 2.59 when they think Senna’s coming out.

And still watching this!

still listening to this, love you flo xx

In deference to The mac fans I have listened to both versions many times. I am pretty sure Florence Welch has a great admiration for Stevie nicks, she has said as much publicly. In the studio version of this song and even the best live version, Stevie Nick's vocals pale in comparison to what is offered here. In the Fleetwood mac version Stevie sing nearly the entire song as a duet, or strongly supported by back up singers. There original version is much more folksy, with a bit of a country twang. Floerence's versions exhibits no such folk inhibitions and moves the ballad into a more powerful and dynamic realm. The drums are excellent in offering a forward moving tension, and the base lines are exciting an powerful. In any cover there is a relationship with the original version, rarely have I heard an artist so completely reintroduce a song and give it such a powerful and unique stamp. I have listened to a few covers Florence and the Machine have done that are lacking, this is not one of them.

Esse dia fo lindo

blinking fantastic... i love fleetwood mac, and this song is one of their best... and the mac by florence is AWESOME!!!!!!!

great song and this version makes the hairs on my neck stand up brilliant thanks for uploading it jube09xyz

i can honesty say im not a fan of their music at all. A massive fan of Fleetwood Mac. They did this track justice at Glastonbury. One of my favourite covers

I think she did okay with it, She did it her own way. Is it as good as the original? No but it's not a bad cover.

The bass in this song is awesome!!

This was the best performance of the whole weekend !!

all these comments fucking suck . fleetwood mac is my favorite band and florence is one of my favorites and obviously its not supposed to sound exactly like stevie or lindsey. its a C o v e r. cover.

its stupid that people are like its a bad cover- no one cares. What matter's is that Florence had the guts to cover this HUGE song in front of a big crowd.

this is indeed a beautiful cover with the touch of everything we love about fatm, fleetwood mac are amazing.

all time favourite performance!

They totally captured the spirit of the song in the music and Florence's performance. Who care's if she isn't Stevie Nicks??? The song was made to be danced to and Florence put everything into it which is the point. Of course the Fleetwood Mac version is the best...nach... but bands like FATM keep the song alive for a new generation beyond the Top Gear crowd.

a bandeira do Brasil ali... *---*

I often describe Fleetwood Mac as primal. Florence and The Machine has captured that primal energy. It’s not a song, it’s an incantation.

Goosebumps arent even the word !

"Florence can't sing" "This singer is terrible" Cool, you get up in front of a crowd and do this then. Also, go check out Florence + The Machine - No Light, No Light at the Brit Awards 2012. Then tell me she can't sing.

i feel like florence + the machine is the modern fleetwood mac

Die-hard FM fan here and I LOVE and cannot get enough of this version. For a real treat, check out the history of this song ... Stevie's beautiful, emotional demo version married with Christine's "Keep Me There" instrumental + brilliance from Lindsey, John & Mick = "The Chain" we all came to love on Rumours. Find it on the 35th Anniversary edition of Fleetwood Mac Rumours -"More from the Recording Sessions" Thanks so much for this!!

THANK YOU! Someone that understands the concept of covering songs!

I love Florence to death, she is a Goddess, I love her voice, her smile, her talent, but it looks like she got into a tumble with King Kong's roll of toilet paper and lost! :+)

I bet a lot of the people there didn't know what song this was and who it's by

this is the best performance ever!!!

That was rad! I'm a massive fleetwood mac fan and that was a great version of it, so good to hear some new life in an older track.

Everybody complaining about how the original it's better. Don't come here. hahahahah somehow everybody always complain about everything. i just so easy no to press play hahahaa.

Sorry purists, I really like the original version, and I totally prefer it, but this cover wasn't bad at all in my opinion

one of the best songs ever made covered by one of the best singers of my generation

The drummer beating at the start was one of my favourites bits and Florence's vioce can't get better because it's so amazingly BRILLIANT!!!

Hate sounding anal but do you wanna know why it dosent sound like the original? Fleetwood Mac isn't singing it....why is that such a big deal? I honestly don't know....Fleetwood Mac is of coarse amazing....but seriously.....this is a cover.

It's not that bad. It's a cover actually, don't forget that ppl

I actually love this.

Will always be the Formula 1 theme tune for those of us in the UK. Watching Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Jenson Button, and Lewis Hamilton winning the drivers championships.

Some songs shouldn't be covered - this is one of them!

I love Fleetwood Mac and saw them live in the 70s, but listen to their LIVE performances of The Chain. Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac can't even do The Chain like Fleetwood Mac. FATM LIVE blows Fleetwood Mac out of the water. Please stop comparing a studio version with a live performance!

I think this is an extremely good cover and I absolutely love the original....it's very faithful and yet very unique. she has a great voice

It's so good to see someone who enjoys the stage as she does, she's having the fun of her life... The band is amazing and this cover suits her perfectly!!!! I think i'm in love

I really don't like this version. Just seems like the heights of the song are underplayed to a point where it just becomes a big anti-climax. :(

How can anyone possibly make the bass solo from about 3:00 onwards sound bad...? It's not even difficult to play, but that chap managed to screw it.

LOVE THIS!! she did this song so well. Fleet wood Mac should be proud!

All these posts about Florence singing Flat throughout the song... Well that may be, but as long as it's pleasing to the ears, I'm happy. And this certainly is pleasing, addicting, and brilliant.

I think Florence is incredibly talented, but she did not pull off this particular performance. The fact of the matter is that she failed to hit the most important notes on pitch & bring to life the melody that carries the emotion of the song. No shade to her as an artist, though.

The emotion/love/hate/drug addled love/hate between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham is missing. It's not that this group is terrible. They just don't have the drama of a live opera going on.

there is just something about her voice and the sunshine, which makes this set so amazing

Every cover by Flo is great!!!

I honestly think this entire set of theirs was one of their worst live performance. Florence's voice sounds tired and shot.

Somebody call Taggart. There's been a murder.

Love this band. Love this voice. She's simply remarcable!

I want to go to the Glastonbury festival in the worst way. I've seen so many great performances from there thanks to You Tube!

Amateurs should not try to cover professionals...

Never mind Florence, what was the guitarist playing?? Awful.

Simply breathtaking.

Awesome cover!!! Florence has an amazing voice and stage presence. I don't see how anyone can complain about this version of the song not being 100% like the original. That's why it's called a cover. It's not supposed to replace the original. Both versions are great. Keep rockin flo

Nope. Not working. NO! Don't get me wrong, I love Florence and the Machine, but no body can touch Fleetwood Mac.

She's got no idea how to sing this song. There's no feeling behind her vocals, it's just dull reciting.

Great cover and energy

I don't see why everyone is criticising this cover. You come here to either enjoy it... or not watch it at all. This isn't a debate class (even though I'm contradicting myself right now)... On a different note, I loved this cover!! :D

It's great that the current artists recognize great artists and songs from the past. That being said, it's never going to be easy to cover a band like Fleetwood Mac. So I give credit to the original and to Florence & The Machine for giving a classic song a new twist. She's got to earn respect for taking a shot at such a revered and classic song. Good for her. Good for Fleetwood Mac.

AMAZING!!!

one word flowtastic

Amazing love you florence!!
