Vocal Coach reacts to Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way (Lindsey Buckingham Live)

[@methos3135]

Not very many people react to this version of the song (my favorite version), so thank you. Lindsey's guitar solo at the end really shows how underrated a guitarist he is.

[@alexakl6445]

This is my favorite version too. Lindsey's guitar solo here is EPIC!

[@Tarquin21723]

A good friend of mine was really into Classic Rock and I had asked him who his favorite guitar player was. I was expecting the usuals, Hendrix, Clapton, maybe Jeff beck, but no. He said Lindsey Buckingham. It made me really listen again. When I really payed attention to it, I understood why. Totally underrated.

[@AndyMatts44]

Part of his brilliance is that he's somewhat unique and non-traditional, because he never took a lesson. He's self-taught.

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

Oh yeah, the album version excellent. But this version is absolutely stratospheric. Thanks to the engineers that recorded this.

[@MattiasCL]

IDK if he's underrated. He's hailed as one of the best of all time, all the time and rightfully so.

[@jeffstevens4262]

Mick Fleetwood's drumming is off the chart. What an amazing drummer he is. He never seemed to get the recognition he so richly deserved.

[@giantgeoff]

Keep in mind by his own admission cannot play the same drum track exactly the same way twice

@@hmak5423 I didn't say I _hated_ Tool. I appreciate the talents & abilities of their band's members, especially the drummer. I just don't think they have good songwriting abilities. Most of their songs start off w/ random, seemingly pointless noises, followed by songs that just aren't pleasing to the ear. Writing songs that _sound_ good is important, don'tcha think? The Eagles music _sounds_ great. Tool's doesn't (IMO). I really wanted to like Tool, believe me. I had heard so many good things about them, but when I listened, I just didn't get it. I must be missing something. 🤷‍♂️

[@RadioactiveLobster]

Rumours is, in my opinion, one of the greatest albums of all time. Knowing what was going on in the background during its production just adds to the incredible feat. The fact that the album got made at all is amazing.

[@darrinspencer1478]

And never uses a pick...

[@Narbyful]

I watched this concert on PBS when my newborn son was less than a month old. My husband and his family were out of town, and it was just me and my baby. I sang along and my son looked up at me with the most amazed look, as if to say, "Wow, what is that? Is that in the world? I hope so." It was one of the best moments of my life. I smiled, he smiled. LOL And before the comments are that he was terrified, I CAN sing. Throughout their youth, both my boys were in band, and my younger son was in gifted music. My husband has zero musical background, so I was very happy that yea, they got that from me.

[@Bella-in7fb]

Lindsey does have an interesting voice.. He always sounds GREAT!

[@EconAdviser]

And don't forget Stevie Nicks' vibrato!!! Who makes a fantastic solo career out of vibrato?

[@danhiatt150]

Everyone always talks about the looks Stevie gives Linsey , but he gives it right back to her here with a huge side eye when singing “If I could baby I’d give you my world” And Linsey’s solo acoustic performance of Big Love from this same show (The Dance) is a masterclass

[@davidschecter5247]

Great comments/reflections. Yes, Lindsey has that "Irish" sound. And one of the most underrated guitarists out there. Such a unique sound.

[@darwinwild8141]

If you like this, try "big love" on the same live cause it's mindblowing. The voice of Lindsey Buckingham and his guitar playing are absolutely insane.

[@pj1995____]

[@condemned1982]

Lindsey's "Go Insane" from The Dance is my personal favorite... just reaches a new plane of emotional, cathartic performance art.

[@DanielAnderson-mb6jn]

One of the most stellar live performances of ALL time.

[@dmwalker24]

This song was on the album Rumours, which has gone platinum over 20 times since its release. To this day it still hangs out on the list of top selling albums with Hotel California, Dark Side of the Moon, and Thriller. So, while the song may be associated with some rocky memories, it also permanently changed the lives of every member of the band.

[@judycopen9912]

You should check out their performance of "Silver Springs". One of the lines Stevie sings is " You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loved you". She looks at him dead on while singing this. The emotion is palpable.

[@russallert]

She pretty much impales him onstage with the Stare Of Death while singing that song. I remember the first time I watched that and thought "There's some unresolved stuff going on here".

[@hintzsch]

That look gives me chills every time! "I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you."

[@mattpericles42]

Yes, Beth need to see this one, I've never seen so much genuine emotion in a performance.

[@mattpericles42]

I just went and listened to it again. It's one of the most beautifully performed and recorded live performances I've ever heard, OK, Beth, you've heard Lindsey's side of the story, now you need to hear Stevie's. It's titled "Fleetwood Mac - Silver Springs (Official Music Video)"

[@twofarg0ne763]

If you really want to see an astounding performance check out Steve Nick's version of RHIANNON Live on the Midnight Special 1976. It's magical.

[@SynthMusicWorld]

Beth, when you have the opportunity check out Lindsey's performance of "I'm So Afraid" from this same concert. It's an amazing nearly eight minutes of music, and Lindsey's guitar solo is passionate and soul searing. It's probably the best song from this concert.

[@frankswarbrick7562]

Wow! I've never heard of this song before, but just watched the video. Amazing guitar solo indeed! Fleetwood Mac is not really the first band to pop to one's head when thinking about amazing guitar parts, but Lindsey Buckingham is definitely top tier in fact.

This concert was stunning for me -- watching the eye contact between Stevie and Lindsey throughout the show. It seemed like it really fueled the passion in the performance.

[@condemned1982]

I think by this point in their career and personal lives, they were playing it up for the audience. FM were a great band in any context, but I think they realized that fans really perceived the inter-band dynamics as a huge part of their appeal and played to that... hence all the staring each other down.

[@bflandragon90]

[@rorygay7284]

Thanks Beth, one of my most favorite bands.

[@matthewmarquis8732]

You should watch the dynamic between Stevie and Lindsey on Silver Springs from this concert (I believe it's the 1997 The Dance video). Holy cow. It's very, very intense. Stevie and Lindsey staring right at each other, her belting out "... You'll never get away from the sound of the woman who loves you." Man. There's no hiding their history in that performance.

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Yep that's a good one.

[@fries5849]

There’s also the infamous 1982 record of “The Chain” where Lindsey is practically yelling the lyrics at parts right at Stevie

[@eddunn4121]

So intense, every time. The song resonates because it was exceptionally vulnerable. The harmonies are just incredible-Lindsey’s high nasality, Stevie’s low, warm rasp, and Christine’s sweet, ever-accommodating middle-hard to match.

[@russellpensonjr.7136]

I am of the opinion that this is the best produced concert on the last 50 years.

[@icfubar9150]

Don't know much about their singing/great harmonies but Lindsey's exit solo is top tier, full of emotion and guitar mastery. Always found Mac's drumming style hard to copy, almost syncopated at times so I just did my own schtick. Stevie and Lindsey were shooting eye darts at each other at times and avoiding getting into each other's space when walking the stage.... ah the joy of doing a gig with an ex.

[@A_Salty_Fishe]

Lindsey Buckingham is not only an incredibly talented singer-songwriter and performer, he has to be one of the most underrated guitar players ever. Just LOOK at him with that guitar! Such a shame they had to go their own way (talking about Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey Buckingham, not Lindsey and Stevie).

[@IvanaWatch]

Just came across your videos recently and have love them all. Watching this one now is a little bitter sweet as sadly Christine (keyboardist in the video) just passed less then 2 weeks ago. She didn’t get as much recognition as Stevie, which is a shame because she was just as talented.

Hi There, Beth. I have only recently discovered your Channel by Accident. I love the way you analyse songs & vocal performances. Often during your review, I sit back & think "yeah, she's right, I've never noticed that'. Particularly in this song where their lives were in so much turmoil but they were able to put that aside & sing a beautiful, emotional song. And, as you said, Lindsey's guitar gave out so much feeling as well. I've only seen about 20 of your videos & every one of them has been constructive. Maybe you do, but, I've never heard you can a performance & they've varied from Brian Johnson to Sinead O'Connor. Keep up the good work. Aussie Pete

This song got me through to the brighter side of a very hard divorce. If not for rumours, we might still be married, but if not for Rumours, I don't think I would have made it.

I think Stevie and Lindsey were fine singing those songs in later years. I think their relationship was over in the very early 70's. But how adult of them all (including Christine and John McVie) at that time to put their personal feelings aside and keep the band together.

[@HartmutWSager]

Fantastic triple harmonies! But also, not only does Lindsey Buckingham show a crying feeling in his voice and facial expressions, but the ever higher notes in the latter half of his guitar playing also feels like the guitar is crying ever more intensely. And then Lindsey's final cathartic release on Mick's drums.

I'm surprised you haven't done a tribute reaction to Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac she passed away two days ago on Nov 30 at age 79. She wrote and sang many of this bands hits.
