Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac | The Midnight Special

[@paulroberts729]

Such a talented group of musicians. Love John McVie's bass line.

[@SHALAt22]

You can tell the personal dramas are breaking at the seams at this point.

[@haroldfadorka3816]

Stevie was young, vibrant and beautiful. Cuter than a box of kitten. I can understand why Lindsey Buckingham was upset about the break up. It would give a man brain damage.

[@gabrielduarte3904]

well, yes, he was, but he had a part in it too.. look at her face when she sings, you can feel and almost read her mind, not her usual self, she looks upset AF, her body language when she's watching him on the solo, then, listen to "silver springs" and "dreams" for her side of the story =) who was right? who was wrong? who's to say. we can only thank them for giving us the best breakup songs playlist ever

[@antoniosena3999]

Traições , separações, muita turbulência

[@timsteloi1840]

1977 I was 19 yrs old. What an amazing time to be young

[@worldofgnr]

exactly perfect age for 1977, you were lucky. I was born in 80 so i also had chance to enjoy beast music in early 90s with Maiden, Metallica, GNR, Aerosmith, Offspring, Nirvana, RHCP, Soundgarden etc, but i still wish i was born in 50s

[@toddincabo]

Fourteen here, and already had my own homegrown in the woods out back, loved me some Fleetwood!

Unsung hero John McVie 💜

[@Davehash]

The best there ever was.

When your ex-girlfriend sings backup on your breakup song!

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

ouch!

[@EazyCheeze]

Especially with the lyric he wrote, "Packin' up, shackin' up's all you wanna do..." Ouch indeed - watch Stevie's face in the seconds before the second chorus. She looks... pretty upset, to say the least. Had to be TORTURE to sing that with Lindsey so much, but they knew what sounded good, and went on with it and it's such an amazing song. Thanks for sharing!

[@mikecumbo7531]

Wasn’t Stevie sleeping with Mick by this point? Also, don’t forget, Mick wanted Lindsey in the band, Lindsey insisted that Stevie had to be included or no deal. Just think how pop/rock would have been different if Stevie wasn’t part of the band.

[@EazyCheeze]

@@mikecumbo7531 Wow, so even though a great deal of hurt was there and definitely was felt by at least Stevie and Lindsey, they kept it professional for the sake of the band and Lindsey wanted Stevie‘s talent there as well - yes, the world would not have had one of the greatest bands in the world if that had not been the case.

[@mikecumbo7531]

@@EazyCheeze remember, they joined the band in 1974 and they had one album out before the relationships were falling apart.

Why nobody talks about how great a guitarist Buckingham is?

[@60zeller]

He has always been held in high regard by other guitar players.

[@thecaveofthedead]

@@60zeller It's true but we don't talk about him that much. His style was so different that he doesn't quite fit in the conversation about blues rockers and shredders. So he kind of gets left out. A little bit like Johnny Marr.

[@Voliveira96]

extremely underrated guitarrist. his solos in "Tango in the Night" and "Isn't Midnight" are my favorites.

I do! Iam totally in love with that man!

[@edwardruff7927]

This is absolutely phenomenal. It’s funny - when outstanding things like this are occurring, they just sort of come and go and we don’t think too much of them. Just another Midnight Special. We take them for granted. Only decades later do we truly appreciate the once-in-a-lifetime magic of that unique era, never to be even remotely approached, much less repeated.

[@joegordon-p6x]

yes soo soo SAD that magical era is over , brings tears to my eyes for real

[@-Shelley-]

*Perfectly* said!

[@wolverinethad]

Man, Mick's facial expressions while drumming have always been a show in and of themselves.

[@LierenCavanaugh]

Those who say Stevie Nicks doesn't qualify as an insanely talented rock vocalist needs to listen to this, as well as Rhiannon on Fleetwood Mac Live from 1980. Stevie absolutely qualifies.

[@Dan-zq5wt]

This band was truly great. I knew that Lindsay Buckingham was a great player and singer, and of course Stevie Nicks is one of the great female lead singers. I didn’t realize that John mcVie and Mick Fleetwood was such a powerful rhythm section. And of course, RIP to another angel, Christine mcVie. A lot of people say they prefer the Peter Green/Danny Kirwan lineup but their traditional blues rock was doomed for the 70s era.

[@latinhellas6383]

A shout out to John McVie for excellent bass playing.

[@scottjulie27]

Dude.... Lindsay Buckingham's singing voice is so freakin' underrated. VERY underrated.

[@Awaywrdson]

Love those 70s !! We had so many "Super Bands" who wrote so many amazing songs !! Lyrics were fantastic !! R.I.P Christine Mcvey 🙏 💔

Lindsey Buckingham incredible guitar style in all its glory. Wow, what a band very few are as good as Fleetwood Mac in this format.

[@steveo8571]

I agree he has a great style but in my eyes he is the second best guitarist in this storied group with the founder of Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green, being #1. While most people are only familiar with the Buckingham-Nicks version the early Fleetwood Mac 3 guitar line-up was an incredible group which outsold the Beatles and Stones at one point.

[@crankychris2]

Most of these episodes no longer exist in any format.

[@LeeFred78]

I was a sixteen year old when this aired, and I remember seeing it on TV. I had fallen asleep on the couch with the TV on. This song woke me up and I was absolutely mesmerized seeing Stevie with her top hat and singing. For years and years after that I kept the image in my mind, but it finally took the Internet to bring it back. I found it on Usenet, but the quality was okay. Thanks for posting this!

[@crankychris2]

KZbin has 8 full episodes and about 20 segments, Lorne Michaels had the rest of the episodes destroyed. Home vcr's didn't exist, and commercial vtr's were gone by the 90's. So most of the episodes are long gone. The YT episodes are decent quality and sound, considering the time they were made, and they are free.

It's soooooo nice to hear all of Lindsey's elegant subtle touches with the chords in the verses. He has such a touch that elevates how FM songs are more than how a cover band plays it. Soooo good to hear a different mix. Hope they can remaster some of these recordings.

[@midwestconcertvideo]

I doubt they recorded multitracks of the performances - the show was before they had stereo TV, so they probably only recorded a mono soundtrack.

This song is probably one of the reasons why I have hearing loss and tinnitus to this day. I used to cruise around in my 65 Chevy Biscayne with a Sanyo tape deck and Jenson Tria-Ax speakers in the rear package tray. When this song came on, I would blast it so loud that the rearview mirror would be vibrating from John McVie's bass line and my ears would be thrumming to Lindsay Buckingham's guitar. Great times!

I didn’t catch them on the Midnight Special, but did see them on SNL when I was a young lad, performing this tune. During my 5-year obsession with Kiss from ‘75 to ‘80 there was only one band, one summer, that mattered as much and that was Fleetwood Mac w/ ‘Rumors’. Think I actually listened to that album more than Kiss but just loved it so much, their harmonies, and thought Mick Fleetwood was an incredibly tasteful drummer. I was nine years old. An incredible time. Pray up and God bless.

This was recorded live in some studio and has the audience overdubbed to make it seem they are appearing live on the show. Regardless ... it's friggin' fantastic. I wasn't surprised that Lindsey didn't do the guitar solo like on the record ... that would have taken six hands and three guitars to pull off 🙂 What an amazing group.

[@barbaratillman8552]

I was in my 20's the entire 70's decade. It was the best decade of my life with the best music and Fleetwood Mac was a huge contribution. Stevie Nicks has an amazing voice, just let me get that out there but she did some bad stuff. To say she got around would be an understatement, kind of like a groupy. I mean, she aborted Don Henley's baby for crying out loud. They all did drugs on stage. When the lights fade out after a song, there's a guy with a small tray of lines of cocaine, passing it around to them. So yes, she's an incredible talent but don't put her on a pedestal
