Was time to do some more FLEETWOOD MAC!! You guys asked for Gold Dust Women! Here we are! Hope you guys have a bangin’ weekend! Cheers friends! 🔥🤟🏻

Try Monday Morning off the white album. It's a Banger!

Check out Don't Stop so you can hear some of Christine McVie on lead vocals. Tusk is a good song too but it isn't a typical first time like song. It needs several plays to get used to it.

Here's the Live Gold Dust Woman 1977 - Tribal!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmfLnIxqi9uEd6M

[@jeffcoat1959]

You need to check out "You Make Loving Fun" - one of my all time favorites. Christine McVee primary vocalist on that one.

[@mischiefmanaged444]

I agree with Andy. I wasn't expecting a rhyme. No rhyme intended pretty sure. It's just telling a story. If they had intended for a rhyme to be there...it WOULD have been there! Lindsay Buckingham was a perfectionist a-hole...so I've heard. Goosebumps SO many times. I don't know where the "Stevie goes nuts" opinion came from however. 🤔 TUSK next - TOTALLY different vibe!!!

[@tomward6689]

If you really want Stevie going off - Rhiannon

[@lisaw5604]

They might have to see the live Midnight Special performance to understand what she does with Rhiannon? Mick said it was like an exorcism.

[@matthewdawson129]

I'm going to keep chiming in for this, greatest live Female Rock Vocal performance ever. I really like the midnight special performance, but I actually like the rehearsal more than the aired version. Mix isn't as good, but raw and amazing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZCyZYydmMybbtk

This is the one where she goes off, not gold dust woman......

[@lisaw5604]

@@matthewdawson129 Watch Gold Dust Woman live Japan 1977. By the end, she is "tribal" just verbalizing... No words spoken. Mick is crazy on drums, as is Lindsey on guitar. I put link in the pinned section. :)

[@joelliebler5690]

Tom Ward That is one of her best!

[@helenespaulding9372]

This song is about Stevie’s cocaine addiction. She’s one of the survivors of that period....so many musicians didn’t make it through.....The Line “take your silver spoon, dig your grave” is so haunting, and the music arrangement...so dark....goes so perfectly with the subject matter. I got chills listening to it.......haven’t heard it in years......still a truly powerful testament to the time in which it was written.

[@SvenTviking]

It’s also about what a nasty person cocaine can turn you into. It doesn’t just anaesthetise the nose. It deadens the conscience and boosts the ego.

[@alex35agm]

Rumours is an absolute masterpiece.Easily one of the top 10 albums in rock history.Every song is good.

[@DF-sr4xm]

Best breakup album.

[@rocketrabble6737]

Except for one that I cannot abide!

[@andyball8379]

When you see Gold Dust Woman performed live, you get Stevie bascially going into a trance on stage and whirling and spinning around with her flowing lace and all that whacky stuff. Mesmerizing.

[@sherrig.7870]

Yep, saw it a couple years ago on her 24 Karat Gold tour. A trance is right!! Amazing. 🙌🏼

[@tamgsmith8077]

She is a damn good witch

[@egorzimowski3505]

isn't she doing this with every song? :D

[@joescott8877]

It's SUCH the cool sight to see (and hear)! Tori Amos manifests this same sort of mesmerizing presence in many of her live performances of "The Waitress" out there. A four-minute studio song, she bolts on a tour-de-force chorus in concert, during the last two minutes of which she is like a woman possessed, a goddess bewitched, Rhiannon indeed.

[@Andy74656]

It was a fucking privilege to see both Fleetwood mac live and see Stevie live on her own. Each time she brought her fucking a game And gold dust woman is always the one that stands out.

[@65sheilakay]

I never noticed the chorus doesn't rhyme. Heard it a thousand times. This makes it even more brilliant. I have always found this song hauntingly beautiful.

Its does rhyme...in the repetition of the vowels. It IS more theoretical than "actual" in practice for sure.

[@dwc1964]

"take your silver spoon, dig your grave" - gets me every time

[@kenwelch198]

I'm not sure this generation gets the meaning of it that we do. Silver spoons were more common in the 70s. I even wore one on a chain back then and I'm a small town nobody. It was just that prevalent back then.

[@dwc1964]

@@kenwelch198 tbh I was around at the time but when I heard it first I took it in its more traditional meaning, about the rich kid "born with a silver spoon in their mouth" - and I think the lyric works quite nicely on that level as well.

It both refers to being from wealth and Stevie did coke out of a bottle with a small silver spoon to scoop it out

[@carlaharrington5120]

"As she like, danced across it!" OMG!! What a truly profound way to describe Stevie's approach to this tune! You guys nailed it! Her approach was hypnotic, it was otherworldly, it was etherical!!

[@joescott8877]

That WAS a righteous phrase, lol!

[@armadillotoe]

At one time, I believe everyone in the civilized world had a copy of Rumors. It is simply a masterpiece. All the members of Fleetwood Mac were insanely talented. If you want to hear Stevie Nicks get intense Rhiannon, or Edge of Seventeen are your best choices. If you want to get lost in endless layers of bliss, Sara is the song to listen to. Great reaction guys. I think the two of you are falling under Stevie's spell. Most of us have. LOL. Something you should listen to is the song "Bad Company," by Bad Company off the album Bad Company. How can you resist that?

[@rocketrabble6737]

'Rumours'

[@skaloc62]

Stevie's singing is haunting & fits perfectly with Mick's drumming style. And Lindsey playing guitar with no guitar pick !!

[@flubblert]

which is why Rhiannon is already overdue here. this song illustrates this rhythmic combo perfectly.

[@sydhamelin1265]

@@flubblert Yes! That's in their top 5 of all songs (maybe top 2 or 3).

[@skaloc62]

Rhiannon is one of my favorites - Also love "Blue Lamp" on her Belladonna album.

[@NortheastRacing]

If you want to hear Stevie belt some vocals, the live version of Rhiannon from the Midnight Special, 1976, is a must listen.

[@jasonremy1627]

A lot of the Peter Green stuff (Oh Well, Part I... Green Manalishi... Black Magic Woman, Albatross) is so good, and has sadly been forgotten. Peter Green is one of those "your favorite guitarist's favorite guitarist" guys.

[@kennethjacobs2963]

Definitely Oh Well...that was the first song I heard by them..my brother had the 45..So good

[@HALberdier17]

I prefer the Rockets version but that is because it was the first version I heard.

[@5891jonathan]

Pre-Buckingham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac is the best Fleetwood Mac. Personally, I find this iteration of the band boring. The albums -Then Play On; Kiln House - . THAT’S the Fleetwood Mac I love.

[@daveowens9849]

Songs, and poems, don't need to rhyme. It's a form of poetry called Free Verse. If you read the lyrics, the song doesn't have any end rhymes!

[@armadillotoe]

Not rhyming creates more tension is some cases. It seemed to work here.

[@alexfromandyandalex8032]

Yea I’m not saying it’s a negative, just giving my thoughts on something that stuck out to me, it was close enough of a rhyme that it didn’t seem intentionally off or close enough to be a slant, somewhere in the middle which is atypical.

[@bonsaiguy2483]

I appreciate that you guys understand how much things were different back then. When an album came out, you would buy it and look at all the artwork on the album first, read through some of the lyrics, notice who played drums, bass, guitar, lead vocals, on which track Then you would put your headphones on and listen to side A all the way through, then side B. That has been lost today.

[@markharris5107]

Agreed. And when you owned an LP, you didn't listen to one song in isoation - it was too difficult to lift the needle and move it over. The positive point of that is you experienced the whole album in the intended sequence. The negative side is you had to suffer through the bad songs on albums that weren't very complete.

..which makes all the older live performances hard to watch. Mainly Mick and Stevie

[@SPohl-zy4rz]

I fell in love with this song when I was young, and used it as my music for a creative dance class. Mick's "intricate and exacting" hi-hat offers a stoic intensity. The strange yet lovely sounds from guitar picking bring you into a whole other world. Stevie's pretty voice haunts throughout. Love the wolfman cries near the end.

Not that I didn't enjoy those bands tremendously, but in my mind they couldn't hold a candle to Steely Dan!

Keep it up dudes, you're owning it!

[@joegoulet7299]

I forgot how much I love this song ty both for the reminder guys.

[@mickeyhank]

For me personally the most powerful song of Fleetwood Mac is the live version of “Silver Spring“. I believe it’s from 1990. Stevie Nicks wrote it before she joined the band and it’s about her relationship and break up with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. Really powerful live performance of it. I recommend that.

[@gunnerysgthartman9263]

It's from the live show/ album "The Dance" - 1997. Yeah it's freaking awesome. Especially with the video with it too. The looks that Stevie and Lindsey give each other are chilling

[@sarahzentexas]

Luuk Hulsman Yep, it was.

[@flubblert]

yep.

[@mickeyhank]

Luuk Hulsman yeah, it was. I’ve read about the history of this song. Stevie really really wanted it to be on the Rumours album but the band decided against it and that hurt her a lot. But if memory serves she wrote it before joining the band. She did an album just with Lindsey Buckingham called “Buckingham Nicks” and I think it’s on that album. Point being she brought it with her into the band so it did originate before her time in Fleetwood Mac. If I’m not mistaken! :-)

[@mickeyhank]

Gunnery Sgt Hartman right on. Yes, they are fairly far apart on stage during that show but both are turned sideways singing to each other. It actually brought me to tears, The people, music and lyrics together in that live setting we are very powerful to me, even though it was about 20 years after the fact.

During the writing of their song “September” in the late 1970’s, Maurice White, the founder of the band, Earth, Wind & Fire, has been quoted as having said, “Never let a lyric get in the way of the groove”. I think Stevie believed the same when she wrote this song around the same time. It’s not about the rhyme it’s about the rhythm and how the song makes you feel. Being too literal when listening to music from this era can take away from the whole experience. Also remember, this was the era of sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. Most people only listened to music to “get lost in the sauce”. LOL A listen to “September” would demonstrate the point. The lyrics are mostly nonsensical but you can never deny how that song makes you feel. Guys, I love watching your reactions to music that I enjoyed when I was your age and it was just hitting the charts. Many of the artists/bands you react to I’ve seen perform live when they were at their prime and again now as so many of them are still touring 40 some years later - Fleetwood Mac and Earth, Wind & Fire included. It makes me happy to see a whole new generation of young adults find pleasure in the same music I did in my youth. It fills me with hope.

Fair rating of A for the song. But the album is most definitely S tier. Rumors is one of those defining albums in rock 'n roll.

[@classic-kool]

Actually, this song is about shallow, beautiful women who latch onto guys for the high life, namely "gold dust" or cocaine. Very common in the 70's and 80's. I had friends who would fall for these gorgeous women, and they were there for them in every way as long as there was a party to attend and he was buying... I have witnessed fortunes squandered because this life is so addictive that you will sell your soul and all of your worldly possessions to live it.. The song has a seductive back beat, twist and turn lead guitar by Lindsey Buckingham, and John McVie keeps everything moving with his tantalizing bass riffs .. "Did she make you cry, make you break down, shatter your illusions of love? Tell me is it over now, did you know how, to pick up the pieces and go home??" …. a LOT of guys experienced that heartache first hand and lost everything.

Had forgotten this one. Added to my walking playlist. Thanks guys.

Dudes!! I was craving some more Fleetwood Mac. Thanks for serving it up👍😎

[@danhunt1830]

I would love to see you check out BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive). I’m thinking “Let It Ride”

[@seekfirst817]

hopefully they will

[@kenwelch198]

As musicians, BTO is perfect for them! I hope they get around to their music!

[@scottblair5401]

You guys transformed my chaotic weekend into a bangin' weekend! Love your work! Your reactions prompt me to listen to many old favorites in a different light. After watching your reactions I often hear things I didn't hear before, notice things I didn't notice before, think about things I didn't think about before... My fire for the music has never died but your reactions seem to "stoke" the fire and get it to blaze up again after many, many listens. This reaction, in particular, reminded me to listen to full albums in order. After going digital with my music I've fallen into the habit of always listening in random mode. But album sequencing used to be an important part of the entire listening experience. You reminded me that I miss that!

[@JTHeidrick]

This is one of the favorite songs my band played. Listen to it again. A great tune!

[@2869may]

GREAT Tune..!!! But "The Chain" is the Banger!

[@Flintlancer]

I wish you would give “Tusk” a listen. The song stays full ham played with the USC Trojan marching band.

[@cshude]

They DEFINITELY don't make em like Tusk anymore.

[@Live2swim]

Gary Harris that was so creative. I heard it for the first time at a friend's, before we all headed to the Risk album concert. I didn't fully appreciate until I heard it a third time. It was just so new.

[@Live2swim]

Before we headed to the Tusk concert. Autocorrect. Not "risk".

Amazing song!

[@gerselinde1]

Waowww! *THANK YOU* for sharing one of my favorite albums! Xmas in march, LOL! This album remained at the top of the American hit parade for 31 weeks and has since sold more than 40 million copies, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.

[@sfranklin9073]

Seemingly simple, and she dances across it got me. Awesome.

[@glenhampson367]

Guys, check out Badfinger and start with “Baby blue”. They were signed by the Beatles to there Apple record company. They had a short period of success due to bad management decisions and 2 suicides to key members of the band. They had a few other hits with “Day after day”, “No matter what” and “Come and get it”. Baby blue actually made it onto the final scene in the Netflix series “Breaking bad”.

[@seekfirst817]

Glen did you see the final episode of Breaking Bad when Baby Blue played.

[@glenhampson367]

Robert Dennis Hicks ...Oh yeah. A fantastic ending to a fantastic series.

[@intotheblue96]

You need to react to the whole album. It is an S tier ALBUM and you will see how every song builds on each other and why it is one of the best albums of all time.

[@gypsygirl9]

Hauntingly beautiful voice. Love Stevie💜 Magical.

[@heathermackinnon9527]

"Say You Love Me" is an irresistible tune with lead vocals by Christine McVee.

I loved Christine's voice.

Yeahhh boyeeee. Guys try some of Christine McVie's sung Fleetwood Mac tunes.

don't forget "Johnny the Fox meets Jimmy the Weed" I looove that song. Then again, I loooove Thin Lizzy :-D edit: imho "Johnny the Fox" is one of the best rock albums of the seventies. For real.

Play some Door,s/ Road House Blue,s/ Changeling/ LA Woman/ I saw Fleetwood Mac in 1976/ I went up front with my Nikon Camera,snapped up a picture of Stevie twirling around in her black witches dress,and she smiled at me! I had the photo blown up to an 8/10, but lost it moving a few year,s later, Damn ,Clay, PS, more Steely Dan,Good job guy,s you take me back to the 70,s gracefully!

[@V7avalon]

The lyrics are a tale with an antithetical statement being drivin home like a stake to the heart. Not all artist rely on bubblegum pop rock nursery rhymes to imprint a catchy verse into their audiences mind.

[@alexfromandyandalex8032]

V7avalon I think you don’t understand what I was saying, or if you did you’re intentionally sensationalizing what I said. Clearly I don’t think bubblegum pop rock competes with this lyrically. However, if you truly thought I meant that I’d be more than happy to clarify my thoughts if you’d like

[@darlanilsen879]

Love Fleetwood Mac. This album released in 1977, I was a sophomore in high school, wore out the vinyl. One of the best selling records of all time, 40 million copies worldwide. Suggestions for more Fleetwood Mac- ‘Big Love’ video from the live ‘The Dance’ 1997. Older Fleetwood Mac ‘Albatross’ live and ‘Oh Well’ parts 1 and 2. Also, you have to ‘know’ Stevie Nicks writing style to understand her songs and her personal history and who she is as an individual and also what was going on with the group when this album recorded. I would guess that she wasn’t necessarily trying to rhyme the words.

[@carlmartin2710]

It might be lacking that traditional banging rock crescendo you were hoping for, but there’s plenty of that on Rumours, and if memory serves me, Gold Dust Woman was the final track (second side) of the album. The mood/style of the song serves that purpose quite well. If you’ve listened to the entire album from start to finish, you’ve been through a roller-coaster of emotions in song (a lot of it is dark/sad/angry, but not all... for example “Don’t Stop” is Christine’s upbeat positive anthem). By the time you get to this song, you’ve been through it all and then they just drop you into this weird, tribally, trippy zone that fades out in a haunting tone of near madness, with Stevie’s distorted wails. No happy, tied-up-in-ribbon closure here. You’re left on edge, in a strange place. It’s quite an effective album sign-off. Just some thoughts. Thanks for the video.

[@GBeret83]

One of the all-time great voices and lady rockers in rock history, and an incredible song writer in her own right. She's in the RRHOF twice as a solo performer and with Fleetwood Mac.

[@lisaw5604]

Yes!! So excited you chose this! This song is pure emotion, with a lot of subtext. I think you need to see the live performance referenced. She goes tribal in the FM live in Japan 1977! I wish you could have SEEN her, but this was poetry all the same. You did get some of the meaning (great pick up!), but needs a full lyric analysis. FM is always S Tier for me. Have a great weekend, fellas.

[@tallykev6608]

Nice reaction to the reaction Lisa. My sister saw FM live once and was really impressed. Unfortunately, I never got to see them live. Not sure what the song is about, but the "silver spoon" ref makes me think drug addiction? not sure

[@lisaw5604]

@@tallykev6608 Thanks Kevin. Lucky sister!! I think there's a lot of things going on. Perhaps talking about a lot of different addictions? Drugs, men, etc. What one turns into as it goes deeper into addiction? Listen to it again, she's telling the person what needs to change and also warning him of what she has become? Just my take... She is a mystery! haha. Have a great day, k! :)

[@darrens2558]

Another great song by Stevie is Rhiannon. It's about a Welsh witch. Probably my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. There are live versions of this song that are truly amazing.

If nobody had ever heard of Stevie Nicks and she went on one of those cookie cutter, everybody sounds the SAME singing contest shows, they probably would tell her she wasn't any good. You always know it's Stevie when she sings. Can't say that about the crap being churned out today.
