Fleetwood Mac Reaction Gold Dust Woman (Audio) | Dereck Reacts

[@nolanwinter4711]

Haunting, profound, sensual, powerful, unique and beautiful. Stevie Nicks is amazing.

[@erikaschwab1372]

This is on my top 10 song list of all time. I can't properly express how much I love this song.

[@chantellecline6945]

I agree with you its one of my favorites too.

[@tammierichardson5740]

The one that really pulls at the soul.

[@TangoEliott]

Not a single bad song on this album. Rumours was an album I played all the time back in the day. Where has the time gone? Wow.

[@daveb9920]

You're right. This is an example of a perfect album, where you don't have to skip around when you listen to it.

[@paulk9985]

@@daveb9920 What do you think of the previous album called Fleetwood Mac. I love Rumours, but think that Fleetwood Mac has more songs that could have been hits. And it shocks me to think that two totally different groups could get together for the first time and produce a gem as Fleetwood Mac. I would think it might take some time for each artist to understand the other. But not this time !

[@daveb9920]

Fleetwood Mac can do no wrong ... except for the Time album (from 1995) ... and firing Lindsey Buckingham

[@swrbienskie]

That sound at the end is actually Stevie Nicks...she wanted the sound of a cat/wolf screaming to end out the track. So yeah, that’s her.

[@paulk9985]

I read somewhere or saw a documentary that is was Lindsey doing the howling. Either way, the song is fantastic.

[@swrbienskie]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaK6fYSEh9uco7c. Apparently was recorded in the middle of the night . Scrub to the end of this link you can hear it really well. Enjoy...I scare my neighbors with it every Halloween. LOL

[@blemelin]

redletter2008, nope. It’s Stevie. There were some dates on the Rumours tour when she replicates that sound live. There are recordings out there.

[@rickypilcher3618]

The Making of Rumours documentary shows the producer and Lindsay Buckingham recording Lindsay's voice and then twisting a knob and making it sound like that.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

It’s clearly Lindsey howling. You can distinguish his voice toward the fade out.

[@optimalrefundable]

Check out Gypsy, or Sara!! My favorite Fleetwood Mac songs.

[@sneauxman3673]

Its not experimental brother it's the 1970's this is the kind of music we grew up with, good job

[@michaelwilliam]

Check out GDW from “The Dance” concert. Much more raw and awesome. While you’re there react to “Silver Springs” from the same concert Thank You

[@paulk9985]

I can't wait for someone to react to GDW from The Dance I play it over and over... probably her best live performance.

[@jobjock]

YASSSSSS to both GDW and SS from The Dance!!

[@tikku123]

Silver Springs from ”The Dance” - is awesome - great recommendation 👍

[@kensolar69]

I saw both the 'Rumors' and "The Dance' tours. "I'm so afraid" was insanely good in both shows, live is where Lindsey can shine.

[@brettalan11]

AGREE!

[@marcieharreld286]

Stevie gets 90% of the praise but I've gotta say Mick Fleetwood (drums) is a gift from the drum Gods....magic fingers!!!🎶🎼🎵🎹🥁🥁🥁🎙🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘 Spectacular soul screaming!!!!💜💜💜

[@starlightperkins330]

"Gold dust woman" partially references Stevie's drug habit at the time.

[@jons.105]

They followed Rumours with Tusk--talk about experimental! It was weird in '79 and it's still weird today!

[@TheMike_I]

listen to Gold Dust Woman again and i think you will like it even more without pausing and expectations towards the end, check out Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen :)

[@totallyanonymousbish9599]

Oh yes Edge of Seventeen 😍🥰

[@bemused9522]

This song was her "baby"...they let her play it....there is a live version where she is allowed to sing it completely like she wanted to play it...incredible...and she does let it loose.

[@donnamadden9784]

That is the one he should listen to. The one with Stevie in a mini skirt, so raw!

[@alextfr1153]

I recommend doing Silver Springs next

[@ecceben]

def one of the best albums ever. the lyrics here are so mystical and quintessential stevie nicks. it's almost like she goes into a trance at the end of it, and combined with the driving bass and pounding drums, you definitely can feel the '60s/'70s vibe. i was about to recommend the 1976 live 'rhiannon', but say you've already reacted to it. off to watch that one now! love your channel. such a great blend of music

[@kAnimalj]

You should see her in The Dance, her performance of GDW was incredibly powerful! And live performances of Stand Back!

[@IBGECKO]

This album is such a masterpiece, that if it were a piece of art, it would be hanging in the Louvre or MOMA.

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

Landslide..Edge of 17....How about some Roberta Flack? Donna Summer... The Way we Were

[@melaniesonier6493]

I would love to see more reactions on Fleetwood Mac or The Eagles! Both bands inspired me to play guitar(finger picking). Their melodies, lyrics, riffs are absolutely amazing!

[@Dammm2503]

This disc is one of my all time favorites.

[@blemelin]

Those sounds at the end are her voice.

[@angelaswanson1077]

I am a mega huge FM fan and know their whole story. It really is fascinating, Dereck!

[@titanicnerd02]

This truly is one of my favorite songs. If you're looking for something "different" and experimental, I recommend their 1979 title track "Tusk." I love it so much that I have the last line of the song "Real Savage Like" tattooed in bold letters on my forearm. You could listen to either the track from the album or the music vdeo.

[@kennanlukacs]

Real savage like?

[@branbran903]

I still play this album over and over.

[@thecoogs]

Such a delicate touch with every note given time to breathe.

[@sallyg.5869]

🌹 Hi Derek. Thanks for another thoughtful review. Yes, cocaine was a big factor when they were making Rumours. One of her 1st lines is "take your silver spoon and dig your grave". I get your comments about the experimental aspect when you pointed it out. I always feel like the end sounds like a wolf howling. Please check out the live version on the '76 Midnight Special of Rhiannon. Stevie and the whole band let lose. Sometimes live's aren't very good quality but this one is just great. Peace.

[@sallyg.5869]

My apologies. I see you've done that one. Oops

[@kirstyhill8426]

You need to check out Fleetwood macs live 1976 Rhiannon 😍 literally the BEST live performance of any song EVER 🙌

[@paulfreelife4111]

React please to the Live performance of Gold dust woman in 1977😍

[@j.k.1963]

It could be the best album of the seventies. Or second to best. For me it is this one or Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd. I think this album is much more organic. Musically and lyrically. On top of that the emotion from their personal drama adds so much more.

[@Regenschein28]

Love this song!!!🙏🖤 Pleeeease react to Stevie Nicks "Edge of Seventeen"😍

[@tamikadestea3033]

The Dance in 76 is AMAZING

[@jnewmark41]

You should see Stevie do this live!!!!

[@Braedensground]

Fender Rhodes is the electric piano. not sure if you knew that.

[@peppernagre3126]

😄

[@davidfrania8990]

One of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs! Thanks Dereck!

[@billymaloy7025]

Please react to Fleetwood Mac Silver Springs live from THE DANCE 97,

[@rhia7871]

This is my favorite album of all times. Stevie has a very distinctive beautiful voice.

[@Davey7358]

I am very fortunate I am such a well rounded expert type music guy. I am still young, but have immersed myself in classical music up to current times. Blows my mind how people don't even know about great songs or albums like this. Album of the Year Grammy winner. Stevie and her coke addiction. Brilliant song. Good job D.

[@Terri6868]

This is such great music🔥Even tho it’s about her drug problem. I don’t know if you’ve done The Chain” Landslide” Edge of seventeen”✨

[@demon_3x]

Is it just me or does Stevie always have something to do with ALL of Fleetwood Macs best songs

[@xtianquart3400]

Another great reaction video. Please also check out “Sarah” from Fleetwood Mac's 1979 album “Tusk” as well as “Rooms on Fire” from Stevie Nicks's 1989 solo album. Love your videos 😊

[@noway1880]

What is your musical background? I have to say, that i. Hooked on your reaction videos. Your appreciation for the music is something else. But your dissection and understanding of it is incredible. Excellent to watch

[@molerejoshua7576]

One of the best Stevie Nicks's song, top 3

[@nadiamarietym2957]

Merci de me faire des groupes que je connaissais pas. 👍

[@rickypilcher3618]

The weird sound at the end is Lindsey Buckingham... His voice was recorded and distorted for this part.

[@MichaelJonesCarmichaeldude]

If you want to know all the minutiae including who did and said and I read a lot about Rumours from Ken Callait and Richard Dashut. You can read all about how each person contributed what to each song. In the Audible or Kindle of the book Making Rumours! An awesome book! The mystical quality of the song was imparted by Lindsey Buckingham who played the Do Bro. At the end when those wails start in they were not synthesized but came from Stevie. Ken turned off the lights and told her to let loose with those witchy howls in the back ground. Yep all Stevie and little synthesized and came out beautifully! 🙏 thanks

[@tikku123]

Awesome 😎 song - I’ve seen this live Also - Stevie Nicks is a phenomenal artist 💜

[@susanjarvinen7322]

The vibe I'm getting is a gypsy bluegrass bluesy feel

[@unklesalty3732]

The utter brilliance of this song is that you never really notice that none of the lyrics rhyme. Just a masterpiece in songwriting.

[@Revelwoodie]

There really wouldn't be a punchy climax at the end, just escalating tension, with the drums sounding the beat...because that is what they are saying about the "gold dust woman." She's a force, almost, more than a person. And she's unchanging. "Rock on ancient queen," as they say. Even though the choruses are sung to her, almost as a sarcastic paean, you'll notice most of the emotion in the song is actually from a 3rd person perspective, "Did she make you break down," etc. But the "ancient queen" just keeps rolling on. No resolution.

[@leighanngalinsky5409]

Please react to "Sister of the Moon" from Mirage tour.

[@kmiller3136]

Leigh Ann Galinsky - From Tusk, but great song

[@stephaniesands4249]

An excellent cover of this sing is the group SISTER HAZEL AMAZING OFF OF THE LEGACY ALBUM A TRIBUTE TO FLEETWOOD MAC

[@ALLYSMOM05]

They’re just as good or better live. I saw them at Nikon Theater in the summer @Jones Beach. Open stadium along the beaches of Long Island. OMG, AMAZING!

[@PassionGrows]

You should do Stevie Nicks solo stuff....Edge of Seventeen...Battle of The Dragon...One More Big Time Rock n Roll Star....Stop Dragging my Heart Araound...Stand Back....We all Fall From Grace...etc...

[@fgf366]

Love your Interpretation, therefore, you gained another subscriber!!...🙂💥👍👌

[@suziejane1008]

Every song on this album is a classic x

[@raramonty5217]

Before Buckingham and Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac they but out an album together called Buckingham Nicks. Check it out

[@peggysullivan6760]

Nice video ! Yeeees! This is the jam !!😄😄

[@zanealberto7510]

Stevie is MAGICAL 🍇🎩🌾🍸🥀

[@jeffy5482]

The glass break actually happens where you paused it at around 6:45ish. It’s on the original but it was apparently removed or other instruments put to the forefront on more current edits.

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Rumours is great from beginning to end. To hear some astounding guitar by Lindsey Buckingham check out "Murrow Turning Over in His Grave" from Fleetwood Mac "Say You Will" album. His string harmonics is incredible.

[@brendonm9601]

Should have reviewed the live version from The Dance, a lot fuller sounding and a lot darker in mood

[@jamesgiroux7619]

After the 70's and to some extent the 80's the imo was over...don't know if it's a generational thing or not...probably...but I just can't wring the emotions of music anymore post this era...I did for a while but revisitation cures it all.....

[@charlesturner3688]

Rumors, there by far there best. Pick a song or review all can’t lose. TY

[@zanealberto7510]

I love Stevie nicks , but I’m gagging for Madonna p4 🔥🌸🌼🌺👍😉Zane

[@minnidrake8516]

Fleetwood Mac is just a great band stevie nicks Christie mcvee and Lindsey Buckingham all could write sing and perform thanks for reaction

[@daveb9920]

You mentioned you weren't quite sold on this song, but I'd bet that if you listened to Rumours from start to finish, you'll feel how well the song fits with all the others. Then you might have a better perspective on this track. 😁

[@angelamartin7963]

i love all of their songs...the live version has those heights that you think this one should have.The live version she really gets into it.You should really compare the two,the original version and the live version back to back,then you will see what 'i'm talking about.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Stevie is singing about herself and her breakup with Lindsey. Lindsey was howling at the end.

[@alantanaka6957]

Courtney Love did a harder version of this for The Crow movie.

[@starwhiteoflove]

Better react to the live version of this song on The Dance record. Personally I never dig into the studio version, it has not that tension, energy and rhythm section that all make the live one so outstanding. As well as with The Chain.

[@brettalan11]

If you really want to rock out look up Fleetwood Mac Sisters of the Moon - 1982 Mirage Live.

[@pjsunsetcruise3000]

Dereck! I really enjoy your videos, especially this one. Your on camera set is great. Love the mic and windscreen you use and you're very cute and personable.Anyway Back to this video, I'm a huge fan of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. You're always making such great comments about her voice and performances. Well if you want to react to an awesome Stevie video. This is one her greatest live performances ever during Fleetwood Mac's career and really demonstrated her "mystique." Her energy and power on stage is at it's peak during this performance. Her voice and timber is strong and on point throughout this whole performance. It's also filled with many of her signature chiffon drenched twirls on stage. If you've never seen this video before.... totally watch it. If you like her, you are going to live this! Here's the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmLOd2h-qLqqbpY Enjoy!!!

[@dal9631]

Please react to the official music video Stand Back by Stevie Nicks

[@Wolfsky9]

Sir---------------this is a song about " cocaine use " ------------that is what / who, the " Gold Dust Woman " really is. The tragedy is that even as she wrote this, FM was getting deeper into using cocaine. Stevie was badly affected by her use by 1986.

[@TheFadingMan]

React to You Make Loving Fun from Rumours

[@h.bennicoff1260]

Listen to a live version of this song Much more trippy.

[@kensolar69]

Note: Fender Rhodes is an electric piano, not a person.

[@stephaniesands4249]

Self autobiography song it is a metaphor for Cocaine Nick's had a very bad cocaine addiction she almost lost her nose from snorting so much

[@maevemurray720]

Check out Fleetwood macs album.. Tango in the night!!

[@davidfrania8990]

Watch it live!

[@stevefoulston]

It was said it was about cocaine take your silver spoon and dig your grave the spoon for taking the drugs she sometimes would wear a chain with a little bottle so she would have it available in the Australian tour she would disappear at the end of each song then return for the next please don't take this as a criticism we were all doing it back then Gold Dust Women million dollar habit.Love and Peace

[@PassionGrows]

When are you going to react to Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks?

[@DereckReacts]

I'll add!!!!🔥

[@antoniojr.sabjapelai9849]

I am waiting for Madonna Confessions Tour part 4.

[@scarlett7613]

Please,check out Sabina Ddumba, song: Effortless. A young swedish gospel singer. And Annie Lennox best song : why❤️

[@truthteller7228]

Dude react to the live version of this the one on VH1 the Dance stevie best vocal performance.

[@yeahthatwasme3212]

Needs more cow bell...

[@donnamaciver2093]

You should ask us what versions to listen to aswell a version with Bob welch is the best it's about groupies running for the guys and taking coke it's not about stevie herself please listen to the version I said about also sister of the moon but only listen to the mirage live tour version it will blow you away and show you what this band is all about

[@bobdelp2023]

LAST TRACK TO THIS MASTERPIECE ( CONCEPT ) ALBUM DEREK! :)

[@bromeliad11]

Millennials discover music.

[@celineleroux3748]

Hi Dereck, i don't want to be rude but i need Madonna ☺️

[@Dannyboy.]

Hello Dereck ! Please react to Florence + The Machine : "Dog days are over" : kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4iyqpmCd76nq7c and/or "Delilah" : kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIvVZoefmZiErZY

[@stephaniesands4249]

Dreams tik tok

[@jamesaaron7211]

Probably the weakest song on the album...which says a whole lot.

[@jjh2456]

Weakest song, but still a classic.
