🎵 Fleetwood Mac - Landslide REACTION

[@JaneReRe]

You're so right Lex, I'm 56 and I've been listening to that song my entire life. I lost both my parents thus past year. My youngest son had moved out just prior to that and I'm feeling like I heard this song for the first time, whole new meaning, I'm so teared up! omg! You'll find songs take on different meanings as you go through the stages of life. Same thing happened when brother died 20 years ago. Sad and happy songs hit you hard. 😢Thanks for the interaction. I have chills and I'm crying. ♥︎

[@davidvsr]

well said. i feel the same way at 52

[@oreally8605]

I'm 55 and I lost my Father in 1999 and my Mother in 2014 Heaven is my hope... I hold onto my faith in God that things will work together for good to those who love Christ Jesus. ❤️ Bless you.

[@badkitty4922]

I'm 53 and grew up loving Fleetwood Mac. I'm SO sorry for your losses, I lost both parents in my late teens and I know that pain. I'm sorry about your brother. Thankfully, I've still got my blood siblings but, I lost my best friend and heart sister in Fall of 2018, just the day after she'd spent the night at my house. I completely agree with you about how this bittersweet song hits you through different stages of your life. This is one of my favorites, as well as The Chain, Rhiannon, Gypsy, Sara, just to name a few. Love, Light, and Strength to you!💖🙏💪😘🌹🌹🌹

Awe, thank you. I didn't want to bum everyone out. It was a good thing. 👍 Those tears needed to come. 🙂

*The interaction at the end...likely had everything to do with the history between the two. Lindsey and Stevie joined Fleetwood Mac together...coming from their own group: Buckingham Nicks. The two had a ''relationship/love affair'' which ended during the recording of the Rumors album period. This concert is one of the Reunion concerts...so the look was likely for the two being in a better place with each other.*

[@corbinbates2708]

True soul mates

[@stevemadrid6522]

I've always loved that way Lindsey looked at her at the end. These are two people who have been through life together and truly love and respect each other .

[@Roh_Echt]

@@stevemadrid6522 Agreed 100%

[@tomekstrand1988]

The difference between Stevie Nicks and Taylor Swift: Taylor Swift writes whiney songs about all of her ex-boyfriends. Stevie Nicks makes her ex-boyfriend play guitar while she sings songs about what an a-hole he was.

[@robertreichle1]

And then she had him fired from the band about a year or two ago.

[@Danny-hx1wk]

such a calming melodic tune, stevies voice is timeless

[@davideberhart9523]

Just said the same thing to my wife today while we were listening to 70’s on 7 on XM Satellite Radio and replays of Casey Casem American Top 40 came on and Fleetwood Mac tune was in the top 40. Said to her, “Stevie’s voice is so timeless.” It was from 1976.

[@Habeev07]

Its hard to say who the Queen of R&R is. Tina Turner and Stevie can both lay claim to queen of R&R. Legends like Janis Joplin, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Ann Wilson, etc are ICONS and absolutely amazing singers. But Tina and Stevie just kinda was there at the genesis and seemed to pave the way for female rock artists to have a space in a primarly male dominate genre. Stevie is still the only woman inducted to the R&R HOF for both her band and solo careers.

[@justineapril7922]

Stevie wrote "Landslide" in 1974 when she was 26. Such a beautiful song! I was 15 when I heard it in 74. It's one of my favorite FM songs....

[@HollerMa71]

I lost my mom in 2015 & my dad in 2020. He had Alzheimer's & Renal failure. I moved in next door to take care of him. For 5 years, I did his shopping, cooking, Drove him to appointments, handled all of his meds, ..the list goes on. When he passed away, I experienced not only the grief of losing him, but also the feeling of just being adrift. This song hit me HARD after that. "I've been afraid of changing cuz I built my life around you". Very meaningful song.

[@frankkinley6272]

HollerMa71, I send my Heartfelt prayers for the loss of your parents. When you think of them if you try to remember every detail & focus on what they were wearing, what they were saying & remember the smells & all the surroundings, no detail is to small. By doing this in some small way your parents will always be with you. Heaven is our True home and hopefully we will be reunited with them. I must say you are so beautiful. What a Blessing you are to all of us. Your Friend Frank Kinley. God Love You.🙏

"The Dance" which was this recorded concert was a reunion show of sorts. Great album. As always great job guys! They were a couple long before joining Fleetwood Mac. Stevie was only in the band due to Lindsay saying he would only join if his girlfriend at the time (Stevie) was included. Many of the songs from this band were about the relationships in the band, the breakups, the all kinda slept with each other after the marriages all fell apart. Great story.

[@kathybwell]

"Mirror in the sky, what is Love?" This song is so contemplative about life, love, and the complexity of relationships. Including the relationship with oneself.

[@ronparsons8786]

Silver Springs live from about the same time is another beautiful and haunting Fleetwood Mac song like Landslide. That look they give each other at the end is heartbreaking, heartwarming, melancholy and wistful. Chills

[@cooliotopnotch6287]

"I've been afraid of changing because I built my life around you." Been listening to this song for almost 20 years, and that line for me personally has referred to both good and bad friends, heartbreaks and loves I had to let go, and family. Which I guess make sense since the song is about maturity, time, and relationships. Incredible.

[@julieholbrook5302]

6 years after this tour, as they performed this on stage during the 2003-2004 tour, Stevie announced publicly that the song was written for/about her time/relationship with Lindsey. He had taught her to play the guitar she used when she wrote it. And, it was written during a time when Polydore dropped their album, and Lindsey went on tour with the Everly Brothers. They had had a fight, she was dropped off at a friend's house in Aspen where she thought about the direction she wanted her life to take. Even though they had just been dropped from their label, and were struggling romantically, she decided then and there that a future in music with Lindsey was the vision she'd fight for. At the time of this 1997 performance, their relationship was on a trajectory they'd not experienced since they were in their first band together in their late teens...friends, musical soul mates, sobriety. Their shared history is incredibly complex, and bittersweet. They have been to hell and back. In 2018, they split professionally again. Someday, a biopic of Fleetwood Mac, at least, and their half-decade relationship at best, will grace our screens. Until then, a deep dive on Buckingham/Nicks is a frigging rabbit hole of endless drama.

[@TattooedTownie]

Anytime I'm having an issue with my life, I give this song a listen. It reminds me that other people went through whatever is happening in my life. If they survived it, I can too.

[@storiedworlds6261]

What a classic song! Even when I was a young man I felt this one. I feel it even more now.

[@Joshuadgog]

Beatiful love song about Stevie and the Guy next to her on the gutair (Lindsey Buckingham) it was about their realtionship even though she dedicated this song to her dad. This is my favorite song by them next to the chain. Its so relaxing and calm. Sadly this video got "Covered" because it has the thing blocking the video. Glad you could get the video up still. Lucky I saw this masterpiece on the live stream :D.

[@jaquestraw1]

I could be wrong Josh but I think Brad & Lex cover the vid with a transparency intentionally so as not to get completely blocked. Not positive

[@Joshuadgog]

@@jaquestraw1 i know that.

[@heyou702pc]

It's Silver Springs for me. Gets me every time.

[@GoHawgs1987]

It's mostly about her trying to decide whether to continue on in the music business. Buckingham/Nicks wasn't paying the bills, but they both Ioved playing music. She took a trip to Aspen and wrote this song and decided to continue on.

[@kingspeechless1607]

I believe she was actually referring to Mick Fleetwood on drums when she said "This is for you Daddy".

[@toddjust5179]

Danced with my daughter at her wedding to this...cannot listen to it without tearing up.

[@knightngail1]

This part hits hard now that I'm in the final season of my life. So much differently than when I listened to it as a teenager. You got it the meaning exactly right Lex! Love ya's💞 "Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?"

[@FrancisB1999]

Stevie’s voice is beautiful. This song reminds me of my childhood when I lived at my grandparents. My grandpa always had WLS on in the mornings during the early 2000’s, and this song would always play.

[@sharilynbratton6476]

I cry every damned time I hear this, especially now that I'm 60 and have lost so many people dear to me and now my son has been in heaven for almost 7 years and my 2 'baby' girls are 33 and 34 years old...time flows like a fast river to be sure.

[@dggydddy59]

One of the most beautiful songs Lindsey and Stevie ever did live was "Say Goodbye". It sometimes would leave Stevie in tears trying to sing it and they always hugged at the end. You really ought to see/hear it. It really is very moving.

[@pushpak]

4:59 Lindsey & Stevie were a couple for 6 - 8 years before and after they joined FM. They were musical partners too prior to joining FM. They released one album, Buckingham Nicks, in 1973. It flopped.

[@caps689]

A shame. It's a great album and so many of the songs they'd already recorded/demoed for their second album (for which they could not find a record label) wound up on FM albums - Landslide, Rhiannon, Monday Morning, I'm So Afraid, I Don't Want To Know, That's Alright.

[@rebeccacurry3647]

Saw Stevie perform this with my Dad back in 2007. She had a large screen showing photos of her Dad in the background. I cried like a baby and kept hugging my own father beside me.

This was from 1997s The Dance. Lindsey & Stevie had recently reconnected after decades of avoidance….the whole band was finally clean & ready to come together again. It was a beautiful time. Unfortunately Lindsey & Stevie remained Star-crossed & their reunion wasn’t to last. That’s a story for another time though. This song was written before Stevie & Lindsey joined FM & even then she questioned whether they could make it….ultimately she chose to stay with him & they met Mick Fleetwood & the rest is history….

[@gmunden1]

Budweiser used this song in one of their commercials featuring the infamous Clydesdale horses the commercial tells a beautiful story of a Clydesdale trainer caring and preparing one of the young horses for the Clydesdale riding team. It premiered during the Superbowl several years ago but can be found on KZbin. It will make you cry happy tears.

You really need to see "Silver Springs" from this concert. The interaction between Stevie and Lyndsey is a gut punch.

[@mikelogan5629]

The love affair lasted 8 years. The song is about taking control of her life and declining her parents offer to pay for her college if she was ready to give up the rock and roll dream. So it was her decision to continue her journey in music.

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

Stevie Nicks is a wonderful songwriter. The end…. She wrote this in Aspen. Lyndsey had left to go tour with the Everley Brothers (which ended up not happening), they were in a band together but just hadn’t made it. She was waitressing a couple jobs, Lyndsey has never had a job, and they weren’t getting along. She was contemplating going back to college. And she wrote this song about making that decision. She was out with friends one night, at a house that she did t know the people & they didn’t know her. Her friends left and she decided to stay at this house, a d asked them if she could stay and write a song. It was 1975, at a stranger’s house in Aspen, she sat in the middle of the room on the floor and wrote this song. Are you able to withstand the landslide that is happening in her life. I think she gave herself a timeframe, maybe a month or so to make it and if not she would go back to college (and have a normal life). That’s when Fleetwood Mac called them and asked them to join the band. The rest is history. This song is one of the most covered songs in history. Stevie is my favorite songwriter.

[@sweetlard2113]

Heya Brad and Lex. Some of your feelings here reminded me a poem by Robert Bly. It goes something like this: I never intended to have this life, believe me- It just happened. You know how dogs turn up At a farm, and they wag but can’t explain. It’s good if you can accept your life-you’ll notice Your face has become deranged trying to adjust To it. Your face thought your life would look Like your bedroom mirror when you were ten. That was a clear river touched by mountain wind. Even your parents can’t believe how much you’ve changed. Sparrows in winter, if you’ve ever held one, all feathers, Burst out of your hand with a fiery glee. You see them later in hedges. Teachers praise you, But you can’t quite get back to the winter sparrow. Your life is a dog. He’s been hungry for miles, Doesn’t particularly like you, but gives up, and comes in.

[@kevinsievert4531]

Brad, during the portion where Lindsay paused with emotion, it was great to see your recognition and humanity for this tender (even if not understood at the time) moment. Sometimes the most subtle of smiles reveal the most telling of thoughts.

My favorite Fleetwood Mac song by far.

[@r.g.o3879]

Stevie was well over fourty when she came out with this tune. I lost my wife of thirty years about seven years ago now and this had always been one of her favorite songs. As far as the band stevie nicks and lindsey Buckingham have broken up a half dozen times the same for Christine McVie and john McVie. I dont remember if Mick Fleetwood was ever married. My wife hated ro hear when a long term couple had broken up she was such a sweet romantic and I dont know how I've made it this long without her. I love your show for digging up so many of the older songs we loved thank you for that

[@keetahbrough]

i always loved the song but never really understood it.. it didn't hit me.. until the day my son walked into the room, and told me that he was moving out.. when he was 20. i was his single parent his whole life; that was the most devastating day of my life. And amazingly enough.. he left the room.. the rug was ripped out from under my feet.. I was fading.. and this song came on, and reminded me what it is to be an actual parent. That this was just a transition, I just hadn't been ready. the song carried me.. it's pretty special to me now. thank you, stevie. you saved me, that day. xo

As I've said before, like Journey, it's so EASY to go down the Fleetwood Mac rabbit hole!

They were together before joining Fleetwood Mac. They called themselves Buckingham, Nicks, and were lovers. They had parted by this time, but remained friends. His look, reflects back on what was.

“History” of Fleetwood Mac is very interesting and worth researching. The original Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green’s FM) was a fabulous blues band. Check out some of the early albums (“Oh Well”, “Rattlesnake Shake”, “Coming Your Way”, “Black Magic Woman” -made famous by Santana-“Shake Your Money Maker” etc) … then they went through some “bad winters” and emerged as the Mac most people know now (Rumours album and post that) … a “survivor” band for sure. Many ups/downs and they carried on, somehow….

[@AB-C1]

Great review again guys! Lex great analysis of the music.. You should listen to some original "Peter Green - Fleetwood Mac" "Man of the World" "Albatross" "Black Magic Woman" and a few others Totally different sound and band (blues!) Fantastic group on a par with Cream and Clapton in the 60s but then Peter Green lost it after a bad acid trip in Germany and didn't perform for decades right when they were at their height. He (Peter Green the lead guitarist and singer then/originally/the founder of the group) named the Band "Fleetwood Mac" after "Mick Fleetwood" (the Drummer) who's with them to this day as he didn't want the limelight and also because he had issues I think and knew he wanted to be able to let the band be independent after they became successful if he left.. and weirdly he did indeed leave due to force of his mental health issues even became homeless and went from being the best blues guitarist in the world to not playing a guitar in decades until about the 90s or 2000s I think he finally was found and started to get his life kind of back on track even performed in his final years but was never the same and looked TOTALLY different to his heyday with Fleetwood Mac! You should definitely check out Peter Green Fleetwood Mac from the 60s "Man of the World" "Albatross" "Black Magic Woman" and a few others as they're hauntingly beautiful blues music, vocally lyrically and virtuoso guitar also from Peter Green.. Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

When she sang about seasons - it was about season of life - like childhood, adult, parent, senior, etc. - not about the 4 seasons of the year.

In fact Fleetwood Mac wanted Lindsey to join the group to be lead guitar after Peter Green left the group. Lindsey agreed on condition Stevie could join the group ... and the rest is history.

My take on growing older.Life experiences can really help you gain a lot of wisdom so you can make better decisions and avoid mistakes and bad choices you might make when younger.I'm also more content,at the age of 57,than I was in my youth.When I was younger I always wanted to be hanging out with people and doing something.I appreciate life more and simple things like getting a cup of coffee and driving to a park to take pictures of the sunrise feels way more rewarding than it would have when I was younger.I appreciate the beauty in nature a lot now too.

In another FM review, Brad said he thought he heard a banjo. It was a guitar, but played by Lindsey Buckingham, who uses a unique finger picking style. You need to watch him play to 'get it.'

I'll say it again for the nth time . . . I love that you two seem to really enjoy Fleetwood Mac. But if you wanna stand out from the pack, react to the studio version of *_World Turning_* . Highlights exactly how similar Lindsey and Christine's voices are, as well as how under-rated Lindsey's guitar work is. It is an excellent example of Mick's innate understanding of what a song NEEDS from a drummer. Often less is more. The song is half over before the beat drops and at the end there is a drum with a head on it that allows him to control the head tension AS he plays it. Radically cool song and often overlooked by all by the truest of fans.

You have to listen to the studio version, on the album -- from when Stevie still had her upper register -- it's sublime. This is good too though.

This is my favorite song of all time. Stevie is such a good singer.

[@lisaarmstrong6415]

Love you both listening to the music I was raised on. Lex is my girl getting into the music!

I think this song was partially about when Stevie and Lindsey were about to get record contract, and then it fell through. She saw her reflection on the mountain, and a landslide brought it down.

You picked the best live version as well 🥲

They were couples , but Stevie, and the Guitarist were together for a time , he is an underrated Guitarist as a matter of fact, their library is just fantastic

The Queen of Rock Miss Stevie Nicks. The most unique female voice of all time.

Check out the Dixie Chicks cover from the early 2000s. It's very good! Smashing Pumpkins as well. Good pickup on Fleetwood hippie vibes, Lex! You are right. They did a lot of folk rock in their music.

She was only in her mid 20's when she wrote this song but was considering giving up on a music career. So when she said she was getting older she meant she was getting too old to chase the musical career dream and time to get a "real" job. But soon after she joined Fleetwood Mac and ...Boom!
