they may not have been good for one another, but God, they were 'perfect' together.

That voice and that guitar - timeless combination. Just brilliant.

[@sandywilson867]

This song always gave me ' chills ' . She has a very ethereal way of singing , rather haunting actually , and that is what makes it a great song for me . I totally agree about the ' timeless combination ' . Music carries so many memories for everyone ; a wonderful gift .

When Fleetwood Mac is on tour and Lindsey is not part of the band it takes two guitarists to replace him.

Finger Picker, very difficult to master!

[@patton303]

When she put her hand on his back during the solo, you can hear Lindsey really dig into the strings more. Powerful love.

Yeah I teared up at that moment.

The moments she sings with no accompaniment, it takes real talent to do that. Just her voice ringing out to all of us. Thank you Stevie for a lifetime of beautiful music!

[@neverenoughguitars8276]

Her voice is just amazing! There are so many covers online of this song and only Stevie Nicks can make you feel like she means it.

[@Shilohii65]

There are a couple of Shorts which showed up tonight, reporting that the Smashing Pumpkins and The (Dixie) Chicks covered this song, but as you so eloquently stated, only Stevie can make you feel the depth and emotion of this song, as she wrote the lyrics.

[@cynthiagravett2419]

Amen ❤

[@naturalista.sun.empress4379]

I'm 42 years old and this is one of my favorite songs ever. It reminds me of my mom and Aunty Linda 🕊❤ R.I.P.

[@sandywilson867]

This is a timeless performance . Just as good as for a stadium full . She sings the song just the way she recorded it . She has her stage act polished years ago and brings a bit of a vamp act with her look . Lindsey Buckingham is one hell of a guitarist . He doesn't change one note . He recorded a perfect part and that's the way he performs it live . Some of their earlier concerts he gets to stretch out playing live , and he is a virtuoso player . He has lots of class and so does she . A class act together .

[@hinthegroove9740]

David Letterman presents Stevie Nicks. You ain’t dreaming’, life was this good.

[@gchristopherklug]

Yes it was. It’s all gone now

[@billscott9045]

Lindsey loves her so much, and Stevie loves him, too. They way she walked around behind him and put her hand on his shoulder and then she turned to the left and looked him straight in the eye for just a moment. Talk about non-verbal communication. That was just precious. WOW!!!!! Sometimes, you just can't mix business with pleasure. Can you imagine the he'll they went through? I'm sure it was painful for both of them for a long time. Such gifted musical talent. God Bless Them

[@bbmtge]

That simply is not true. You k7ve in a fantasy world.

[@atticusgalt10]

Lindsey playing two parts, simultaneously and seemingly effortlessly. People know he's good, but I don't think most people get *how* good he is.

[@TheLochs]

What 2 parts?

[@manuelper]

@@TheLochs LB plays rhythm and lead melodic lines, two parts. Not that LB is not superb, but that's fairly standard for finger picking guitarists.

[@peterg.1940]

This is what you call fingerpicking and really nothing special.

[@berglm]

@@peterg.1940 Creating something this timeless and beautiful is really something special. I can fingerpick some of his songs, but never in a million years could I have created them from scratch. Big difference.

[@erikkibler3466]

I know how good he is😊

[@weirdshibainu]

Imagine getting tickets for Letterman thinking you're going to hear jokes and a couple of interviewes and you get treated to this.

You got that right!!

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@firebaugh73 I'm so Jelly.

[@nicolefournel-hartery8187]

Aside from their amazing voices and songs, what I love most is that with simple gestures, Stevie retreats and allows the spotlight to be on other band members when she's not singing, giving others the solos they deserve. Either she turns her back to the crowd, disappears out of the spotlight or in this case, kind of hide behind Lindsey. This clearly shows the love and respect she has for him and showcases his talent.

[@lucreciadiaz3636]

This song never gets old. It is perfect. The lyrics, the guitar, the voice. Brings tears to my eyes every time.

[@stevensmith743]

[@Factah10]

So true

[@judystuard2002]

It's most definitely there.

[@dmc5301]

Also note how he expertly manages dynamics and phrasing, varying his volume with the mood of each passage and shaping his fills and ornamentations to enhance the vocal line.

[@jeffnnj]

I don't think many ppl realize what an incredible guitar player he is.

[@brbob4934]

Pick up a guitar you'll find out quick, for sure.

[@fuzzy1237]

[@GrandmaSmith-jn1uy]

What can I say about this performance? It brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me that my beautiful musical support system people are, also, only temporary. All the talent that we Boomers have been so graced with in our lives will still be here for as long as the following generations find them! This is one that I hope will be sustained for generations! Thank you, Stevie and Buckingham and all of Fleetwoodmac. May you be remembered forever!

[@barneybarnes7796]

You would be surprised at how Stevie influenced Taylor Swift, and how many "Swifties" know this song as well as any by Taylor. These twentysomethings and even tweeners love Stevie Nicks. She has that "something". That undefinable quality that lasts and passes through generations. I've been graced to see it in person, as I live in Nashville, where most young ladies are influenced by Taylor. But I've been privileged to see them have " Stevie Nicks" nights. Stevie Nicks- truly one in a billion.

[@darrylturner2611]

This is a great live version!! Two very talented beautiful people!!

My wife and I were at this taping, it was spellbinding and gives me chills to see it again. I believe Mick Fleetwood sat in with the band on percussion that night as well.

[@Stonecrow25]

I bet. I just got.the chills listening here 😊

[@redabales8828]

Nobody has a voice like Stevie, love her voice, I went to a Fleetwood Mac concert in Cincinnati Ohio in the seventies I was 14 worked cleaning up after concerts at the coliseum an I will never forget it I was standing up in front of the stage looking up at her couldn't believe her beauty ,she was looking down dancing around with her tambourine an she looked out into the audience right at me an smiled an took her finger an pointed at me an waved ,well I about fainted that was a big deal for a 14 year old little girl ,she was simply gorgeous an that voice so unique, thank you Stevie for making a little girl happy for a long time

[@mmp6042]

This is what comes from great song writing, incredible vocals, paired with incredible musicianship. Classic.

[@jodyesperanza657]

One of the greatest songwriters of our era, Stevie is a rare talent. And Lindsay can pick a song or two.

[@GCKelloch]

I agree she is an impressive lyricist with a unique vocal style. Does she compose the music, or does Lindsey handle that side of it?

[@caps689]

@@GCKelloch Stevie in her own words writes skeletal melodies - then Lindsey works his "magic". She said she played Landslide for him, then he played it for her and she cried because he made it so beautiful. He's only ever taken co-writer credit on Frozen Love because of it's 4 minute solo.

[@66jediknight]

Lord help us to handle the seasons of our lives, we need your strength, you will be there to see us through. Thank you Stevie, Lindsay and Fleetwood Mac for sharing your gifts with us all, your music touches our hearts.

Thats why we say “life goes on “ and Stevie & Lindsey’s lives will go on , maybe not as it was before but that’s the way it is now and who knows what the future holds for them. Maybe, just maybe one moment in time it could happen again but only time will tell but that’s the way life is or maybe that could start a fire that could burn one more time !❤😂❤ Soulmates are forever but in this case it’s something only they know and they know time doesn’t stop and it will keep going.❤❤😂❤❤ I remember when they were in their 20’s, now they’re much older but they still have that special bond with each other, they are still close but I wish they could be together again and forever ❤😂❤😂❤😂❤

This song always crushes me as My very first love that i wanted to mary was three years older than me. I was 18 and in the military. I got sent off to Europe and she sent me my "dear John" December of 77. I got it Christmas eve, I recorded just a clip of this song and sent it to her hoping she would self reflect on it and me and reconsider. But alas she moved on. So this song has a VERY deep meaning to me and always will. Stevie & Lindsey first recorded this song on their only album together in 1972 Buckingham Nicks Several of the tracks from this album crossed over int to Fleetwood Mac.
