They way she walked around behind him and put her hand on his shoulder and then she turned to the left and looked him straight in the eye for just a moment. Talk about non-verbal communication. That was just precious. WOW!!!!! Sometimes, you just can't mix business with pleasure. Can you imagine the he'll they went through? I'm sure it was painful for both of them for a long time.

This is a timeless performance . Just as good as for a stadium full . She sings the song just the way she recorded it . She has her stage act polished years ago and brings a bit of a vamp act with her look . Lindsey Buckingham is one hell of a guitarist . He doesn't change one note . He recorded a perfect part and that's the way he performs it live . Some of their earlier concerts he gets to stretch out playing live , and he is a virtuoso player . He has lots of class and so does she . A class act together .

Aside from their amazing voices and songs, what I love most is that with simple gestures, Stevie retreats and allows the spotlight to be on other band members when she's not singing, giving others the solos they deserve. Either she turns her back to the crowd, disappears out of the spotlight or in this case, kind of hide behind Lindsey. This clearly shows the love and respect she has for him and showcases his talent.

@barneybarnes7796 6 ай бұрын

You would be surprised at how Stevie influenced Taylor Swift, and how many "Swifties" know this song as well as any by Taylor. These twentysomethings and even tweeners love Stevie Nicks. She has that "something". That undefinable quality that lasts and passes through generations. I've been graced to see it in person, as I live in Nashville, where most young ladies are influenced by Taylor. But I've been privileged to see them have " Stevie Nicks" nights. Stevie Nicks- truly one in a billion.

Are you unaware that this clip is from 1998? 22 years ago. They most likely have deep feelings between them that's more so based on the music they've created, the many live performances, and that music's effect on their fans. But soulmates? No. I think she never got over what happened between them and has very complicated feelings toward him. He moved on, found someone else, and they had kids. Nicks wound up alone. You wanna talk petty drama? What Nicks pulled in 2018 is the very definition of that.
