It is Simply a "Raw Version" about Human Beings, Life, and just trying to get through each day together for a Purpose..... Not One Person can say: "I never Made Mistakes" or " I wouldn't do this" ? You don't know what Life is going to throw at You ! Like FM, You pick Yourself Up, take care of some problems ( addictions) and go Your own way... But the Music is a Lesson to Survive and Deal with Mistakes without having a "Crutch"...... I was 16 yrs old when this 1977 masterpiece came out ! Had been a huge fan from the beginning (1975) to the end (after Music Cares" debach", and Stevie said: : "It's either Me or Him" in early 2018.... Things could have been worked out for 1 more year and a proper closure for the fans. Things Happen to People who have over 100 million in the Banks ?

Re Mick/Stevie, not that simple, and "behind Lindsey's back" is a mischaracterization. Buckingham and Nicks were so on-again/off-again - mostly off - even well before the affair, which was late 70s. As I understand it, Buckingham and Nicks were not a "couple" during the Nicks-Fleetwood episode.

That chain really did keep them together, I guess...

"The Chain" is definitely a song of two halves. One is the upbeat, driving rock and roll that had been at the epicenter of FM's muse almost since day one. HOWEVER, the eerie harmonies, the spare keyboard, throbbing bass/drum arrangement and EXPLOSIVE guitar solo blend together to paint a picture of vitriol, melancholy and anger, moreso than anything else they've released. The two halves should let each other down, but the opposite happens: they build each other up. The naggingly insistent drums mesh with the bass and keyboards to create a rock-solid melodic hook, while the guitars and particularly the vocals, dissonant and discordant even in their harmonies, rip apart that melodic hook bit by bit, until nothing is left but bloody pot shots, anger and spiraling rage. When they sing "The chain will keep us together", what they SEEM to mean is "I carry this chain and you can't have it, asshole!"

That no one member was as important as the whole was why Peter Green insisted the band be called fleetwood Mac, and why he was so annoyed when it was first named Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

Jimsy Well put. l always got the impression there was a centering around Mick, and the fluidity of this band, now on its' 15th (?) incarnation. To me it will always be the coming together of the musicians as the links of the Fleetwood Mac chain.

This is a REALLY good piece. I have been a diehard Fleetwood Mac fan for 40 years...yet you reported things I had never heard of. You breakdown of what components went into this song is first rate--the repurposing of other tunes and lyrics. I'm interested in more detail on how this developed. Stevie's demo is beautiful and haunting as it is. I wonder why she'd donate it to the cause.

When you're through with Pink Floyd, how about some REM; Mike Mills bass playing (nonconventional compared to most bass players) and their use of rounds (of 3) especially in their choruses. Other possibilities; Modest Mouse, Frank Zappa and The Who. Awesome channel!!! Really enjoy your videos and appreciate the time and effort you put in them.
