Queen of Universe at that time. Stunning confidence & vulnerability at same moment.

I will love Stevie Nicks and FM forever.

[@Journeestothesmokeymoon]

While I was into pat Benatar in 1983 , high school, my friend Jessica loved Stevie and wanted to be her. In 2024 I listen to Stevie 80 percent more than Pat.

This music defined and shaped our lives. We were there. We lived this with them. Xo

Hearing that Cow Bell, you know it's FM, & Mick. No one else can do it quite like he does. ------so different on her solo tours. ---------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o

I love the ending. Her wild throaty cries are awesome!

[@FM19MONTH]

I was there!!!! 20 years old.

[@scarletttrinity4008]

In this video she still has that innocents in her voice and look, a softer Stevie if you will. Just finding that strength and having that knowledge that has molded her into the woman we all love today . Timeless, ethereal ,strength, and beauty. Put into a tiny little box of dynamite. I swear i would buy an album of her simply vocalizing ...no words needed just that perfect raw emotion.

[@liaml69]

Awesome stuff!!! I remember wanting to go to this concert but I was too young! Now watching it it's kind of like I went to it now...Thanks for sharing!!!

[@FM19MONTH]

Well for us oldies that were there, yt is just amazing to have and watch our old bands. Some we saw and many we didn't. I come across bands / singers I had forgotten about but loved back in the day. All at our fingertips now. Us kids use to have to sit around a radio praying for the dj to play that song... When it finally came on, we all tried to write the lyrics as fast as we could. 😄😄 It usually took many listens to finally get all the lyrics.

[@FM19MONTH]

I just missed the Beatles. My older brother saw them and even had a Beatle haircut until he went in the military.

[@gergsport]

Stevie is so high here. Love the change of tempo in this.

[@zenpaganwarrior]

***** Yeah, her timing is a little off in some places here, but she's ever the enchantress still...

[@Assisted_Insights]

Why do you say that - because she wipes her nose?!

[@tinaobanion816]

Yes.very much

[@sillydreamer64]

Actually this is how she performed GDW during these years. Wasn't cause she was blasted. 🙄 She has expanded it much more now. Has for past 15-20 yrs. And changes r deff not due to being hi. 😂

[@spiritof6663]

@@bkswanson2461 And with Lindsey's psychedelic guitar sounds around her, it's really quite the experience! Where would we be without those witchy wails...no one else like her.

[@fundies2]

yeah, hopefully we will come across the entire set. i notice that this was a show from the summer of 78. i wonder if they did Sisters of the Moon at this show. i have an early live version of sisters that they performed at the end of the Rumours tour. its cool to hear hgow the song changed form that incarnation, to the studio version and then to the live version on the tust tour and then on the mirage tour.

[@spiritof6663]

Yes, Sisters of The Moon from this show is on KZbin.

[@yvonnewilliams6748]

I love the way she ends the song (a sort of a chant for lack of another word)..it's a tad bit different from the 77 Japan version..not much but just a bit..I wish she'd sing it that way nowadays..

[@lilflower25]

I agree. I hate how she changes the words now. Really annoying. IMO. She should sing it how she wrote it.

[@yvonnewilliams6748]

Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever know unless we can get to ask her personally, but it could be that at the time she might have forgotten the words and made them up as she sang..I saw once where they have teleprompters with the words of the song the group was singing..maybe back then they didnt have that..I'll have to pay closer attention to the song now..lol..

[@barrylough2863]

I love it when she changes the words. She's changed Rhiannon lyrics many times over in places. I think it shows she's a true artist and her songs remain a living creation - not something frozen eternally in one version.

[@yvonnewilliams6748]

Unfortunately, I still cant't hear the change of words..anywho, it's a great vid with or without the changing of words..as a matter of fact, that's with any song by any singer, I just cant seem to listen to the words that closely unless it's the reprise or just repeated so many times that I can't miss it..oh well..

[@PerpetualArt]

Stevie is a pain in the ass lately!

[@FM19MONTH]

Christine McVie was also great, but always in the shadows. She did three solo albums. I wore them out like anything FM.

[@paulk9985]

I love her, too. She prefers to be in the back "with the boys." She never got her due.... but I think she is really shy and is ok with that. I also think she is glad to have Stevie and Lindsay willing to front the band.

[@FM19MONTH]

@@paulk9985 whatever they did that worked for them made them legends!! 💚

[@christinebowser709]

Check out her bluesy sound with early Fleetwood Mac and Chicken Shack. Christine Perfect then but her voice was made for the Blues!!!!

[@bkswanson2461]

its so interesting to see how GDW performance has evolved over the yrs...now Stevie does her coke dance with her infamous gold shawl, lasting a good 10mins or so!!

[@rogerarsenault9067]

A person can be very creative when high!

[@crazylegs4940]

In my humble opinion, I think the drugs amplified the band's talent.. But I could be wrong. ✌☺

[@clucka]

Even when she is sober! Her recent crack dance performance during this song on the last few tours is fantastic

[@RetroFan]

You can be just as creative if not more so without drugs. I'd like to enjoy their music without some idiot mentioning drugs.

[@arigirl4536]

A tad bizarre. Yep, higher than a kite, but not in a functional way. They usually are better when they're high, but she was just too out of it.

[@harrystearns7965]

Hard to see, but that doesn't look like Buckingham on lead guitar, which might explain part of it.

[@laurievanriper7714]

We were all high back then!

[@howabouthetruth2157]

First off, let it be known that I've always been a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks. I'm a man, and I've performed several of their songs on stage countless times both playing guitar and singing........mainly as either a solo acoustic act or acoustic duo. Folks everywhere have sworn to me that I sound exactly like Stevie Nicks, and I was always blown away by that. But I've gotta say, this is already the 2nd LIVE performance of this song from the 70's where Stevie Nicks totally screws up the lyrics.......and she wrote the lyrics for this song. This was obviously due to all of the cocaine & alcohol they were abusing at the time. Of course countless other bands have fallen victim to drugs & alcohol as well. It's just sad, really.

[@Retroearthling]

did LB have his hair short in 78? hmmm

[@spiritof6663]

He had just cut it only a few weeks before this August '78 show.

Stevie wrote this. Waylon Jennings covered it on the Waylon and Willie album.

[@sambrownsings]

Not true at all. The song was famously written by Stevie as she and the entire band descended into cocaine addiction.
