They also put lots and lots of drugs in it that may also have caused a great amount of their internal troubles. Great album!

[@Scott-gjc]

Lindsey Buckingham is the guitarist. He's known for his finger style playing which he prefers. The guitar is custom made for him. He is an amazing excellent artist ❤

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction Amanda! The two singers in this song (the female Stevie Nicks and male Lindsey Buckingham) were a couple for many years. There was lots of drama in their relationship and they finally broke up for good. During this performance, you can feel the emotion between them...the proverbial 'if looks could kill'.

[@donpietruk1517]

There's an earlier live version which is a lot more raw and the emotions almost visceral.

[@markstevener6794]

The chain is a metafor for the band. That the band would never break up even though their personal relationships did.

[@dvsreed]

Lindsey Buckingham is one of the great guitarist and he doesn't use a pick. The chain is basically the commitment holding the band together as they were in the process of imploding. The two couples in the band were breaking up...bassist John McVie and keyboard vocalist Christine McVie were getting a divorce. Guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks were ending a long relationship. Even though the members were barely talking to each other they still managed to make the album Rumours.....one of the best albums of all time. This performance was about 20 years after all the drama. Watch Silver Springs from the same show and you can still see the fire between Stevie and Lindsey.

[@mrcjc9298]

The last 90 seconds or so are quite famous in the UK. It was the theme music for the BBCs formula one coverage. They were actually in their heyday in the 1970s.

[@rubenvandijk8115]

Hey Amanda, I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. You are amazing and I really appreciate your content. You have done multiple really amazing reactions to songs by citizen soldier, and their newest album just dropped and it is really really good. The album is called ICU and so is the song with by far the most emotion in it. I would love to see a reaction from you but I have to warn you that it will hit incredibly close to you. It really is a tough song to get through but I really think you will find great meaning in it. Giving this album and the song ICU in particular more attention and spread it, it will definitely help to break the mental health stigma further. Thank you so much for all you are doing to spread the word about mental health and I really think if you do this reaction it will spread even more so. It helped me for sure and I hope that if you can spread it it can help even more people as well.

[@adamwest8256]

Fleetwood Mac has been around since the late 60s or early 70s. One of my favorite bands (thank you dad for introducing me to them). Amanda, you need to hear their song Landslide! It's one of my favorites.

[@tonyharmon8512]

The Rumors album is almost a chronical of the affairs and broken relationships that finally doomed the band. Prior guitarist John Weston had an affair with Jenny Boyd, Mick Fleetwood's wife and he was fired upon discovery. This brought in guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks who were a couple though having relationship issues themselves. After the two of them broke up and still fought even on stage Stevie started an affair with Mick. This affair finally ended Mick's marriage. Christine started an affair with the bands lighting director as she and John McVie the bassist and her husband were wearing out their marriage by being in each others back pocket practically 24 hours a day due to constant touring and studio time. All of these tensions are the major part of what finally spelled the end of the band.

[@js0988]

6th most sold album from the 70's, 9th most sold album of all time.

[@timmyzg13]

Not to mention, you can clearly see tensions on the stage between all of them, looks, singing, it almost looks they are gonna jump eachothers throats

[@Joseph_Riccio_AZ]

Those tensions resulted in some great music!

[@wessexdruid7598]

This concert (1997) was two decades after the album came out (1977), so the band _didn't_ end. They last played a concert together in 2019, while Chrissie was still well enough. Chrissie's death from cancer, late last year, made it unlikely the band would now ever play again, according to Mick & Stevie - but who knows?

[@angharaddenby3389]

It is spelled RUMOURS - look at the bloody cover!

[@Turambar88]

I would definitely recommend following this up with them doing "Silver Springs"

[@MRxMADHATTER]

This band has more emotional baggage than you could stuff in a freight train. They have been around a very long time. This concert marked one of the first times they had been on stage with each other in a long time. You can feel it with every glance they make to each other. If you can find the time to hear the whole concert (The Dance) it would be worth your while. ❤🤍💙

[@willieboy3011]

Fleetwood Mack was a band (1967) well before Stevie Nicks came along in 1975. My favorite song by the band was "Oh Well" in 1969.

[@angusrocks939]

this is all about a band and their relationships breaking apart. although they were romantically entwined, the fact that they could perform their breakup up anthem live and coherently, speaks volumes of the respect they "lost" for each other.

[@kallsop2]

The interesting thing about this song, as well as the album, was that when the original was recorded in 1977, none of them were in the studio at the same time. Lindsay would go in and play his part and record the vocals, Stevie would go in and do the same, same for Christine, John and Mick. The producer and engineers then went and cut and spliced the tapes together to create the finished song.

[@JonathanLawson]

I was a teen when this live album came out and I ate it up so to me this is the best version of this song. I knew nothing about the band and then when I looked it up all the songs made so much more sense.

[@Jjoker74]

Fleetwood Mac has some pretty great songs. And Stevie Nick's is amazing by the way. Check out the performance of Tusk (live with USC marching band) ... goosebumps!

[@gbdewbery]

This band is more than just some musicians making a living. They were so courageous to give the world the album Rumours, they persisted through the decades since the sixties when people would come and go until they found this combination of 3 very different singer songwriters. Take time to be amazed by the creativity and honesty that Fleetwood Mac delivers. If you want something inspirational from them next, Don't Stop is your next stop!

[@Scott-gjc]

The band has been around since the late 1960s. This particular version began in 1975. This live version was in 1997

[@JimJack-ng9yi]

Fleetwood Mac' was like a daytime soap opera but only in real life, thier story is incredible and how they stayed together for decades

[@johnathanstruble1064]

This particular concert , was a reunion in sorts, they survived the 70s, disbanded , in sorts thru the 80s, while doing solo projects, or forming Fleetwood Mac with original members and studio musicians, but The Dance, filmed for VH1, IN CONCERT,..brought the core of Mac back, and a their hits...laced with personal history thru song showed the World, that you can grow , make amends, come together, and be artists. PLEEEZE REACT TO " " SILVER SPRINGS" from this concert only, and watch the interaction between Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham, lovers before the Mac, thru most of the Mac, the break up, ..and the amends....all in one damn song!

Thanks for the reminder that "perfection" is unattainable and unrealistic. Too often so many are on about perfection, instead of living. Nature isn't perfect, and that's ok. "The thing about perfection is that it's unknowable. It's impossible, but it's also right in front of us all the time. You wouldn't know that because I didn't when I created you." - Tron: Legacy

[@larrywright4539]

They have another live performance of this that's longer, and Lindsey has a great solo in it. He's wearing a hat during that performance, and when the cameras do a closeup you can see the anger and animosity between Stevie and him whenever they look at each other. It's a wonder the band stayed together for so long

[@JamesJones-zt2yx]

Yes. This performance is intense, but the other cranks it up to 11 and then some; it is, you'll pardon the expression, "real savage-like".

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

Speaking of not having to be perfect - may I suggest Tim Minchin's "Not Perfect"? He has a lot of amazing songs, my favourite shifts depending on my mood, they're often _that_ close to each other in quality, but that one might be the best to introduce you to this genius 🥰

The "Chain" is the Band and the music. It is about the band and music being more important than the personal and relationship issues. Stevie started the song but all members have equal writing credit. The ending chorus is about the band.

This whole concert feels like Stevie and Lindsey airing things out. That feels weird to say because of how incredible this show is, and because it’s about so much more than just them but, seriously. The way they interact during this show is its own thing.

[@kallsop2]

This was from The Dance tour in 1997 so a lot of the dirty laundry had been aired years earlier, but that doesn't mean that they still had some underlying feelings.

[@TheScorpio1999]

I'm not really familiar with Fleetwood Mac; they were a little bit before my time. I did see something interesting though where Stevie Nicks (the female vocalist) had some intriguing and frighteningly accurate things to say about Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Syndrome and her experiences with that, and how hellish it was. I've experienced this before on occasion; I take Benzos to function. Many people , ESPECIALLY in the medical community and oh god this is such a problem- they have this misconception that "addiction and physical dependance are the same thing" because, why? Cause they have a degree? IT'S STILL WRONG. It's just incorrect. They are NOT the same thing. I'm not an addict; I don't abuse my medication, and I would caution anyone and everyone that is prescribed ANYTHING, to research your medication before taking it. Talk to your pharmacist (that's your pharmacist's job after all), get your information. This could save your life.

Yup. My dad was on medications that were reacting with each other that his medical team didn't catch and I believe that's part of what took him out. ALWAYS do your research!
