Those last few minutes after the breakdown are fantastic. A real shining example of what singing and playing sounded like before auto tune and backing tracks. Stevie and Lindsey kill it.

I was in high school and went to the Rumors tour. I have no words. What a time it was. I watch these old videos to keep from losing my memory of this incredible music. 63 years old and still rockin.

The amount of money and years of my life I’d give up to be able to go back in time to this exact moment in this exact crowd is unreal!!!! The people that were there have no clue how lucky they truly are

Nothing quite like the 70s. Glad I was a part of it.

Ridiculously stacked band. So much talent.

Midnight special productions were state of the art for the time

A great example of how a female singer can be amazing, beautiful, sexy and mesmerizing without needing to be half naked, coated in a ton of makeup, mimicking sex acts on stage, or needing voice auto-tune. True freaking talent, no BS. Go Stevie!

Stevie is gorgeous here 😍😍😍😍❤️

If you never picked up a guitar and tried to play it you might not appreciate how phenomenal Lindsay is @ playing the guitar!

I was 19 years old and watched this live on TV that night. I fell head over heels for Stevie.

The 70’s had some of the best music songs and creators 🌺

Hands down the BEST live performance of this song I've ever seen. I think what makes it great is that all of them are firing on all cylinders at the same time. From about 3 minutes in you can see the intensity in Stevie. Man, she really lets it rip, wow!! What's cool is in 1976 as this was being played I doubt anyone had any idea how big these guys were going to become. Also look at Lindsey just going at it...he's amazing too....just wow love it!!

Lindsey Buckingham is an absolute legend for playing that solo without a pick

This group was full of lead singers who all blended SO well. Beautiful.

This version of Fleetwood Mac was always celebrated for their songwriting, singing, visual prowess and their personal drama. This performance here is a reminder that they were superb musicians as well.

The best time to be alive in America.

This is the definitive rendition of Rhiannon Lindsey Buckingham’s solo @ 3:04 🤘 And some love for the late great Christine McVie @ 3:40

The days of master musicians seem to be long gone. As the rock stars fade away into old age and death, it feels like it's all ending. The generation that made all this magic was a flash in time that I am greatful to have lived through...

When I first saw Lady Stevie Nicks sing, I instantly saw her as the most beautiful, graceful, and interesting human being and her voice was instantly hypnotic and soothing. And now after all these decades, she is the most beautiful, graceful, interesting human being with the most hypnotic voice. She is a true queen!!

Nobody plays guitar or sounds like Lindsey Buckingham. Legend!

Stevie giving it her all and ripping up those vocal chords. LEGEND ❤

To all those shows like The Voice or American Idol, Australian idol etc. You are trying to discover and engineer talent. You will never find talent and bands like these. They form serendipitously. The ending of this performance is pure magic captured in a bottle….never to bed replicated.

LINDSEY KILLING IT ON GUITAR SOLO!! 🎸 😮

She starts out tired, a little nervous. Perfunctory. But then she starts to feel the band, and the band starts groovin, and she starts to feel her mojo. And then the Band see's her start to take off into one of her "things" and that inspires them into an even deeper groove. Now they're rippin and Jammin, and Stevie starts to channel her inner Rhiannon, as whe spookily belts out this great tune. A sight to behold.

I wonder if they knew at the time how epic this performance was. You can see Lindsey looking at Stevie and knowing she is feeling it and it motivates him as well. And now to see this cleaned up in HD video, thank you.

The harmonies between Stevie and Christine are so damn good!

Thank you Midnight Special for making these Fleetwood Mac videos available to view! I never get tired of watching them. They have such amazing talent and chemistry!

Dear god that performance is good.

Name a band in 2023 who can reach that level of quality. I can't think of any.

Stevie Nicks has one of the most unique voices ever

The lighting hitting her bangs and making a perfect shadow framing her face, combined with sparkly makeup - GREAT. Stevie has one of the most beautiful faces in rock ever. And she definitely has talent which stands on its own, regardless of anything else - amazing voice and range! Upon re-watching the video now, during the chorus, are you noticing something? Lindsey hangs back from his mic, while Stevie leans in! And he also has his huge smile on his face at most times, right? He is absolutely blown away by her voice and wanted to create the ultimate platform for her to shine, didn't want to get in the way himself too much. And he doesn't - I can barely hear his signature countertenor during the chorus, while Stevie's full-throated alto bursts forth like angelic tones that we love her for. And she puts so much more heat on her delivery of the chorus then she did on the studio version - I would've been absolutely thrilled to be in the audience on this performance. Though of course I should've said so when I first posted my comment, another wonderful upload, Midnight Special people! Keep it up!

That’s pure perfection. When music was real and full of life. Miss those days.

The entire album is a masterpiece!

Stevie Nicks. A force of nature.

This is the best version I’ve ever heard!

Saw Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles and Boz Scaggs in 1976 at Sullivan Stadium for $9.00!!!! Watching this brought me back to that time. What a time it was for some of the best music ever.

This is my absolute favorite performance of this classic song Stevie’s vocals give me chills, and the shear power at the end of this is stunning. It’s almost like she could explode. Wish I could have been there …..This band live was a beast.

For 30 plus years there have always been certain songs that watching stevie hit with a mystical nuance that STILL makes the hairs in the back of my neck stand...... WOW

Best version of this song

There is no fancy light show or distracting props, just wonderful and captivating music. Now these guys are true artist, which is very rare these days.

Stevie Nicks is such a beauty.

What young guy in 76 DIDN'T have a crush on Stevie..lol. A Great performance. Thanks for releasing these midnight special vids. Tried to catch them, whenever I could, back in the day.

Stevie is a legend.A Gypsie, and at 74 years old, she put on a great performance in Toronto.

Right now Stevie Nicks is on tour. Still rocking it. Sometimes with Billy Joel. Music of my high school years and still so good. Seeing Christine McVie doing harmony with Stevie makes me sad she’s gone. So much talent in one group.

I wish we still had music this good!!!!!

How does this not even have 4k likes five months later? Pure '70s sonic magic.

Reason 2,369 why the 70s were the greatest decade of music.

Fantastic sound from the band but also the sound guy. That guitar solo is excellent!

This was Stevie’s best performance ever.

Stevie is mesmerizing! Talent and charisma in spades

Fleetwood Mac was soooooo good. Absolute hit making machine in the 70’s and 80’s.

70s, 80s and 90s. The golden age of music as a form of art.

I was almost a 13 year old boy back then, even now, I completely understand my crush on Stevie Nicks, the music was so good, she was the "older" girl next door.

I wanna go back so bad. Listening to this music as a young kid...I had no idea how much it would mean to me when I got old. Everything was so much better back then.

Midnight Special was such a showcase of 70's early 80's talent ! 72-81

Man o man Stevie. Just wow. For several reasons

The best quality of this video I've ever seen, Fleetwood Mac's first television appearance with Stevie and Lindsey, just amazing.

I miss them days

Knopfler, Buckingham, Beck ... What great touch guitarists.

Everyone on stage is lit up beyond what most people could handle and they find their groove in that madness. Not sustainable, but incredible to watch.

Rhiannon has one of the best melodies in pop music

Best version ever of this song!

The best of both Stevie and Ann Wilson came out in 1976. This is the best version of this song I've heard. It's too bad I only heard the radio versions back in.

This is a SONG about an OLD WELSH WITCH.....Burt Sugarman is Proud to Present..... Rhiannon. Proformed Live by Fleetwood Mac....?!!!!! Hell YES!!!

47 Years ago today. Absolutely timeless.🙂❤️

I saw this when I was thirteen years old. I fell in love with Stevie and Fleetwood Mac and have been amazed by them ever since then. RIP Christine.

The power and raw emotion of this is off the dial. Perfect rock ‘n roll for the enjoyment of everyone

Fantastic quality. Thank you to the folks at Midnight special for these treasures.

Not gonna lie… an inspiration.

The last part gave me goosebumps so so good.

They need to bring this show back in all its original format and glory. Guitar’s🎸 bass, drums 🥁 and vocals! Real playing!

One of the greatest rock songs ever written. Stevie almost goes Janis Joplin on it. What a powerful performance.

Fleetwood Mac is how, when, and why I fell in love with music. Phenomenal performance. "Rhiannon" will always be my favorite song of theirs.

Just imagine seeing them preform Over my Head and Rhiannon back to back, must be an absolute treat

Lindsay's guitar tone is just fuckin perfect. It's timeless

Where did all the talent go?? This was absolutely fantastic!

If it’s not this live version, I don’t want it ✨

A classic performance

I remember watching this at that time. Her voice was never better. Wish I could go back ......

Stevie’s voice was in top shape back then. They sound great in this video.

Storytellers set to music. Lyrics were so much better back then.

Seeing that performance on tv back then, I didn't appreciate it because of my youth. Now, it seems so foreign to actually see an artist play an instrument and sing live flawlessly. I miss that era.

This is still the best musical performance I have ever seen I wish I could have been in the room back then.

Shout out to Mick Fleetwood and John McVie - an incredible rhythm section who were so good at reacting to the lead instruments / vocals.

The Midnight Special was insanely good with insanely good performances. This is either a walk down memory lane or insight into a time when music required talent. Todays groups are nothing more than a background for selfies, they lack the intimacy of shared experience and getting lost in the pleasure of the song.

Beautiful Christine McVie

Oh the memories of the greatest era of music 🎵🎵🎵🎵

me and my GF at the time lived for this weekly show! every Fri night we'd get a motel room and watch the show, high AF of course! 😁 think the room was like only 10 bucks a night, but nice little motel, had it's own little restaurant.. fun times! ☮

They killed it.

Saw them in Hawaii 1980. The best 💕🎶✌️🤙

The sheer rawness that shreds thru this version will forever cement it in the minds of all who hear it…be it the first time or the millionth time…pure magic of a time gone by…

Stevie Nicks is on fire in that performance.

AWESOME!! Thank You! 6-2024

Stevie is just mesmerizing...

The end is so powerful, amazing

I am 57 years old as a kid I used to watch the Saturday Night Live and I saw this as a young man and I was highly impressed with such exceptionalism. Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac will always be right by me.❤❤🤩

Not only one of their best performances but some friggin incredible camera and sound work. I thought it was great until I put on a set of studio headphones and listened again while it rocked my world. Stevie's voice!!! In 65 years I've heard a handful who could handle anything close to that without serious damage.

Fantastic! So great to hear Stevie sing live. Never got to one of their concerts. And it's weird to think Christine is gone now, too.

The closest we will ever come to time travel... For a magic 6+ minutes we are transported 47 years ago to a sublimely perfect memory.

The most amazing thing is these are different lyrics from the album. An added verse, or line removed…I am grateful I will relive these musical memories!
