Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon *DayOne Reacts*

The guitarist is Lindsey Buckingham, her ex boyfriend. When Mick Fleetwood asked Lindsey to join Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey said that he was in just as long as he could bring his girlfriend (Stevie of course) along as another member of the band cuz they were a package deal. The twosome were literally struggling prior to joining the band. Stevie cleaned houses, and gigs were few and far between. They did put out their own album but it went nowhere. However, after joining Fleetwood Mac, everything changed and it happened quickly. Fleetwood Mac which was an English rock band had moderate success in the 60s, but after Lindsey and Stevie joined the group, it's as if it was meant to be. John McVie on bass guitar, Christie McVie on keyboards, and Mick Fleetwood on drums along with their two newest members had a unique chemistry. These talented musicians created a stand alone sonic experience that many have tried to imitate, but have never come close to reproducing. The early to mid 70s reincarnation of "Fleetwood Mac" went onto sell millions of albums worldwide and sold out arenas. This legendary band has earned it's place in the rock N roll hall of fame. Oh yeah, I suggest that u give a listen to "Sara", the remastered version by Fleetwood Mac. Stevie said she was suffering from a cold when the song was being recorded, but you'd never know it. The vocals are the magical blending of the voices of Lindsey, Stevie, and Christie. Christie is also sprinkling faerie dust over the keyboards. The melodies that she is producing from her keyboard on this track (Sara) are both whimsical, and ethereal. The same latter description(s) can be used for the vocal arrangements as well.

[@paulk9985]

Christine had the final say-so. Mick and John were afraid two women wouldn't get along. They all met at a Mexican restaurant in Santa Monica to see how well they all could get along. They had a blast. With a wink and a nod, Christine gave her approval to Mick and John. Buckingham Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac on 12/31/74 and the rest is history.

[@twofarg0ne763]

I was fortunate enough to be Stevie's neighbor in the late 70's & early 80's. They were on tour a lot, but I did get a chance to talk to her every few months when they'd be back in LA. One of the greatest female artists in the history of rock.

[@Mark-iv7np]

Lindsey was maybe still is one of the greatest guitar players ever. Had a great song I'm in Trouble, 1981.Really dug that song!

[@IBGECKO]

Can you believe that this was the world's introduction to Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham as members of Fleetwood Mac?! And btw, Stevie was a throw in in the Lindsey Buckingham sweepstakes. FM wanted Lindsey, but he refused to join unless they took his girlfriend, too. Said girlfriend has gone on to became pretty much the undisputed Queen of Rock. It all started with this performance. The band's musicianship is impeccable, and yes, Lindsey's solo is sick! This version is better than the recorded version, in my opinion. Stevie changes up the lyrics here, Lindsey adds that guitar solo, and Christine has a solo on keyboards. None of that is on the recorded version. This is about as good as it gets!

[@bfx20018f]

Remember that Steve Nicks wrote most of the songs she sings - such as this song Rhiannon, Edge of Seventeen, Dreams and the list goes on. Stevie Nicks was a great song writer and, she could bring the house down.

[@jzander2966]

Welcome to the enchantment that is Stevie Nicks! Once you've fallen under her spell, you can never break free. There is soooooo much more of her both with Fleetwood Mac and her solo work. She is the only female artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame two times........for her work with her group and for her solo artistry.

[@scarletc.7055]

Until this year. Tina Turner will be inducted this year for the second time for her solo career.

[@StevesFunhouse]

Stevie would have gone nowhere without Lindsey's help. In FM, she wasn't doing well and her songs were being rejected by the group, and it was Lindsey's reworking of her songs that got them on their albums. She became a very conceited beast, just the same. By the past you all probably already know about, you know this is true. It was her attitude and her sleeping with Mick Fleetwood that caused the writing of their best and most famous songs, which were really about them both airing their dirty laundry in public. After she did her first single (solo), I caught her on a radio show bragging that she could write a hit song every 6 months if she wanted to ... that it was no big deal. She was a good singer on her own, but she was a GREAT one when Lindsey was orchestrating and arranging the groups music. I have a feeling that it was her independence and adultery that broke the group up. The rest they probably could've worked out.

[@johnroop9625]

Fleetwood Mac= DEEP RABBIT HOLE!!!

Someone needs to put 'The Midnight Special' series back on TV to showcase what we had in those days. Never a lip-sync... all live.

[@jkuhn6179]

I happened to be in Attendance for this in Burbank, CA. Burt Sugarman produced a Live Concert every Saturday Night for 2+ years. A different Kick Ass Band each week Never missed a show. Lindsey Buckingham was Killer on Guitar. Tickets were $8.75

[@p.j.d.8199]

She's in her 70's now and still rocks it out in live concert sounding better than back in the day, they are all wonderful and perfect.

[@colibri1]

Mesmerized is a good word, because the song's lyrics were inspired by a character in a novel ("Triad" by Mary Bartlett Leder) who was possessed by another woman named Rhiannon, also the name of a Welsh goddess. As a kid in the seventies, I thought it was about some supernatural spirit woman like a witch or something.

I saw Fleetwood Mac in 1972 before Stevie Nicks, but they have always been a great concert band. Christine McVie is also a great singer. I enjoy your reactions to the music of my youth. Peace. ✌ Rock on. 🤘

I love his song and I love Stevie Nick’s voice! She also had an amazing solo career! The guitarist you speak of is Lindsay Buckingham and they were a couple for a while! RIP to Christie McVie, the other female in Fleetwood Mac!❤❤

My all time favorite Fleetwood mac song ! Never get tired of hearing it .

I'm pretty sure this song is being played faster than they recorded it.

[@carolcarol3938]

Yes, it's feels like that to me too

[@drewbear1969]

Oh man does this take me back 30 years. This performance isn't the radio version that you listen to just any old time, this is what you play when you're just hanging out and chilling on a nice summer evening, maybe with friends or alone, maybe with some beer or some wine or some herb. This music is meant to be savored 😎 And yep, you definitely need to look into some Heart, "Magic Man" is as good a place to start as any. I bet you'd like Janis Joplin too, check out "Me and Bobby McGee" and see what you think.

[@jmango2636]

Fleetwood Mac is an absolutely great band And Stevie is one of the best females to ever do it

[@armadillotoe]

Stevie had millions, and millions of men under her spell.

[@johnclibbens6803]

Christine’s piano work is superb on this song (as always) and her vocal contributions are often underrated (not really surprising, as Stevie draws attention).

[@chrissiegle1065]

The guy playing guitar is Lindsay Buckingham... His voice is phenomenal as well... and he's one of the most underrated guitarists ever... Check out big love with just playing guitar and singing... Truly epic. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊

[@kesleycottrell1416]

I think everyone that was alive in the 70's had a copy of Rumors. The whole albums was full of hits. Songbird is probably one of the prettiest songs l have heard. Something to check out. Really listen to the whole album.

[@SWLinPHX]

I'm impressed without knowing any background that you figured it out. Rhiannon is a witch that Steve wrote about and yes, Stevie emulates the style with her attire, often draped in extravagant shawls that fly as she twirls on stage with her mystical moves and enchanting vocals.

[@rickfiltz5211]

At different times Stevie had both the drummer Mick Fleetwood and the guitarist Lindsey Buckingham under her spell. She was with both.

[@fewwiggle]

Incredibly impressive to do that live -- it was far from perfect, but Stevie (and band) made it so powerful.

Fleetwood Mac had some seriously cool songs, try "Go your own way," or "You make loving fun." This live version you are listening to us faster than the studio version, still good, but think the studio vetsion is better.

[@armadillotoe]

I love it when Stevie goes beast mode.

[@trevorholden7423]

It's apt you said you were under her spell Angela, because I believe Rhiannon is a witch, and Stevie is playing out that role on stage, 'like a cat in the dark' and 'taken by the wind'. The black shawl and dress are very appropriate for her mesmerising performance.

[@lindadevlin4838]

Under a spell...? Oh yeah! Rock and Roll Fairy Godmother....love love her! Nice reaction, girl!

If you're blown away, imagine how the straight laced TV executives felt when that came out of their station. 🎉

[@mickeyhank]

I agree, Angela, mesmerizing. Your comment cracked me up because I know exactly what you mean. :-) You should check out the live version of “Silver Spring“. It’s about Stevie‘s love affair with the guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, (same one as in this video) which had been happening before they joined Fleetwood Mac. They eventually broke up.Really intense. It has brought me to tears. Could get blocked but it’s definitely something I think you’d like to see. The version is years later after their break up but you can tell it still means a lot to both of them. They’re looking at each other during the performance. Plus it’s my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. :-)

[@59elgreco]

The Live versions from "the Dance " of Silver Spring, Rhiannon, and Landslide are off the charts good !!

Three song writers here. Stevie, Christine the piano player, and Lindsey the guitar player. All sing lead and harmony. All great in their own right. Some casual listeners are surprised to find all their songs are from one band. This is a deep rabbit hole to explore. And we haven’t even touched on a gentleman named Peter Green.

[@rbodee]

I miss watching The Midnight Special on Saturday Nights. Got to see a lot of great bands that otherwise you wouldn't see unless you went to one of their concerts. Back then there was no internet and only 3 network TV stations and a few independent stations. Back in the 1970's concert tickets were $10-$15. That's why I don't go to concerts anymore, too expensive.

[@kevincaulder9001]

Try Stand Back. She extends her aura to this dance track that was ubiquitous in the mid-8o's. But the absolute must is Gypsy. At the time, this was the most expensive video produced, until Michael Jackson's Thriller.

[@billofalltrades2633]

I don't know how anyone couldn't like Fleetwood Mac !

[@richardjacobs7632]

I love the song “Frozen Love” by Buckingham Nicks, before they were in Fleetwood Mac. Try it please?

[@brt5273]

Really takes me back. Great memories. For over a decade...close to 20 years... they had the best selling album of all time, Dreams. I wore out the vinyl record, the cassette tape twice and the CD once. The guitarist Lindsey Buckingham also sing some great leads, as does the keyboardist Christine MacVie. They each have their own unique sound while still sounding exactly like Fleetwood Mac as a whole. A bit of trivia, the lady who introduced them is Helen Reddy who was already a big star in her own right. Her song " I Am Woman" was an anthem during the Women's Lib movement.

[@johnpryor3598]

Lindsey Buckingham is one of the most underrated guitarist..React to Go your own way.. Live version.. One of the best guitar solos ever

[@fredkrissman6527]

I grew up with The Mac, and much prefer the earlier blues-heavy Peter Green era (and Christine MacVie's voice on backup to Nicks' lead on the song)... I saw this iteration of Mac on the green at UC Sta Barbara in 77, and a combo of the black primo hashish and merciless sun finally taught me to appreciate beer! But isn't Stevie Nicks haircut here is a crackup?!?

[@sushibar777]

Rhiannon is a figure in Welsh mythology. That's who the song is about, or at least what inspired Stevie to write the song. In one live version Stevie refers to her as a Welsh witch, although witch is probably not the right term to describe her.

[@guarddog318]

Rhiannon was/is more of a Goddess dedicated to horses than a witch. Though I suppose that as with most mythology, it just depends on which version you're looking at, since there are variations in the stories.

"She is mesmerizing" is something you hear from many people when they see and listen to Stevie. The joke usually is "she's captured another soul". I was lucky enough to meet her several times in the late 80's because of my job and she was so beautiful in person and couldn't have been nicer.

Fantastic performance in a great reaction. I'm glad they got to show a fair amount of Christine McVie playing the piano but they didn't really edit it to completely showcase her by showing her face with it frequently but yeah, this is mesmerizing in your reaction is fantastic. I mostly tend towards react channels where whoever's hosting it or if it's a couple or something, at least one of them is a musician and really knows about how that works and I tend to enjoy those more. You openly admitted that you didn't all that much but it doesn't matter, you identify with it so physically and then your thoughts about it are always just so penetrating and well, cool.

Great song great reaction. Stevie wrote this song after reading the book Rhiannon ( she was a great reader and writer) In the beginning you hear her say this is about an old Welsh witch. No wonder she mesmerized you, she loved scarey spooky stuff lol. And yes she's very much a free spirit flower child. The whole band is great. The guy who played the guitar solo is Lindsey Buckingham. He and Stevie lived together for many years before breaking up. He is self taught. Notice he uses no guitar pick. The keyboardist is Christine McVie. She had many hits with the bang (Songbird, Everywhere, Over my head) her husband was the bass guitarist John McVie and the drummer was the band creator Mick Fleetwood. Stevie is the only woman inducted into rock and roll hall of Fame twice. Once with Fleetwood Mac and once for her amazing solo career (Landslide, edge of seventeen)
