Over My Head - Fleetwood Mac | The Midnight Special

[@odonnchadha1978]

When I was a little kid, I had all my favorite songs by Fleetwood Mac memorized. When I grew up, I found out they were all written by Christine McVie

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

love everyone's stories

[@mgonza67]

Same here!

[@drumsnbass]

IMHO she was always the more talented between her and Nicks.

[@stephandiehl3893]

she wrote the most beautiful songs

[@darkobiwan]

Yep. As a kid, I was crazy over Stevie like everyone else. Then I learned Christine was the best.

[@jimfritz2087]

Christine . The heart and soul of the band.

[@billmadison2032]

What an elegant woman with a beautiful voice rest in peace

[@themotownboy1]

Great to see Christine McVie shine!

[@97Boston]

I agree. Trust me she has always shined from the get go. Back when you only had your ears to appreciate the music. And the Midnight Special. 😊

[@waltchase3297]

She ALWAYS shone. They ALL did. So lucky to have seen them in real time.

[@UlyssesM]

That bass is nasty. It makes the song

[@BranceCrantly]

Fuckin' A, man. Shit's hot.

[@timprescott4634]

She was just magical. SUCH an aura.

[@davidf3883]

I was a big fan of Christine McVie. She was the lead singer of FM in my mind. RIP

[@deecee901]

Yes. Way better than SN. Stevie had like 2 tunes I like. CM..beautiful voice , gentle. Humble.

[@plentyofnoone]

She did have her shining moments

[@sucocosmico]

to be honest everyone that like and truly heard fleetwood mac knows that CM, SN and LB share the lead singer. I mean, the band's successful compositions are well distributed among the 3 so it's not wrong to say CM was the lead singer, it's not wrong to say SN or LB was the lead singer. They were during the minutes they sang their songs, right?

[@petergarthe629]

Over my head is good vibes music in 1976!

[@eric-qg1gm]

I love the look stevie gave Lindsy in the middle.

[@eflows]

John McVie is killing it on this song.

[@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025]

too bad he didn't get a closeup

[@josephalvaro5244]

​@@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025Yeah, his pocket is so deep and the sound of that Alembic is like butter.

[@bwdrums1]

He is. I thought he was using a pick on this but was surprised to see him (when they finally showed him) using his fingers. I've always loved John's playing through the many incarnations of the band.

[@chriscraver4070]

Christine was an amazing writer and singer. Loved this band ❤

[@robertcassey4014]

The background music to my life. John really shines on this one. We miss you Christine… R.I.P. ❤

[@roboneil408]

I've always loved this song by them and Christy mcvie's voice is like butter

[@dvswia1831]

Pretty good back up singers!

[@mikeosullivan3699]

I will never be even 1/100 as cool as anyone on that stage.

[@kamilkawinnicka5704]

But you may have people to look up to, role models to some extend...

[@deaw87]

I totally agree! I’ve been sitting here at the age of 60 wondering if I can learn how to play guitar and be even a little cool! 😎

[@rebeccawagner4167]

This is an example why the Midnight Special, was so freaking awesome and amazing. They put on phenomenal 🎶 and groups. I remember seeing Fleetwood Mac on this show. Christine McVie, is sounding like the original Songbird.

[@SanAntoneRose]

Christine would have been 81 years old today. Unbelievable. This music is timeless.

[@that70sgirl90]

Stevie and Christine both brought their best attributes to make Fleetwood Mac one of the greatest and most memorable rock bands. Bithe of them had phenomenal voices. Out the two ladies, Christine had the most unique voice. Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@jfoster1462002]

RIP Christine!

[@LucyInTheSky7215]

Lindsey & Stevie definitely have a secret language where they can communicate with each other without even saying a word

[@ricardoparrondo9899]

What a kick ass band. RIP, Chris

[@marygriffiths2950]

Thank you Midnight Special 🤗🤗

[@waltchase3297]

OH YES!!

[@VCT3333]

The Rhythm section is so good. The eponymous duo is somehow overlooked in the discussion, but throughout all the various versions of the band these dudes were the foundation.

[@moongazer2049]

Absolutely John McVie and Mick such a distinct sound

[@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025]

zero shots of them in the video

[@josephalvaro5244]

John and Mick were always spot on and made all their songs just roll along.Sure do miss Christine.

[@oldestgamer]

Any musician KNOWS that Mick and John were one of the finest rhythm sections of any band. As a bass player, I am a big John and Mick fan!

[@louiebee6745]

Longest running rhythm section in rock.

[@richardlefaive1944]

Love their harmonies. They always worked so perfectly together. Neither of them ever tried to dominate the other.

[@nonstoprocker5377]

One of the very rare times ive seen Lindsey Buckingham using a pick...!!

[@mstover2809]

I noticed that too.

[@10Matic]

I thought the exact same thing...caught me by surprise when I saw it

[@banditdarval9401]

Yes, I think it's because he's playing a strat here & the extensive use of harmonics. Hard to do without a pick. Watch as he hits the last note as a harmonic. Awesome.

[@donarthiazi2443]

That's the very reason I came to the comment section. I wanted to ask any guitarists out there... why?

[@A_Saucerful_of_Secrets]

It’s also the only time I’ve seen Lindsey using a strat

[@louislepage5111]

One of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs pre Rumers era 😊

[@2centsam927]

How young they looked! And me too !

[@melisarodriguez6783]

Her voice is from the sad part of heaven

[@toomuchinformation]

[@tinapettit7307]

Christine mcVie was always my favorite!❤

[@theoceandwellers4036]

Sensational performance.

[@waltchase3297]

We miss you so much Christine. Thanks for these wonderful songs and the incredible memories. LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

[@effjay8010]

The Buckingham Nicks merger with Fleetwood Mac was the greatest merger in music history!

[@57highland]

A fateful and historic merger ...

[@alienzardsketter.9076]

One of my favorite voices singers Christine McVee I Loved that sweet soulful muffled soul sound of Christiane MC,Vee ,, it went deeper in to my heart then other voices ,,,artist singers...no others compared to that sound she had.

[@peterbadgely]

Wow. The sound is really good here. Remastered?

[@utbabee]

Yes. Sounds wonderful too.

[@warrenp.5916]

The best singer in this band! Four great singers for my women’s Mt.Rushmore Karen Carpenter Linda Ronstadt Chrissy McVie Annie Lennox

Christine sounds so Perfect here, may she RIP

[@JasonVanDoornOfficial]

Wow, Lindsay using a pick!

And using a Strat instead of a Les Paul

I was born and raised here in Hawaii in 1968. So, I was blessed to be able to grow up with amazingly great songs during the 70’s and ‘80’s(I graduated in 1986). I have sooooo many favorite bands and solo artists from that era that are still in my heart and soul and near the top of my list…TheGo-Go’s…ZZ Top…Eagles…Chicago/Peter Cetera…Wings/McCartney…Sade…James Taylor…Journey…Carole King…Linda Ronstadt…Eddie Money…Toto…Billy Joel…Air Supply…Steely Dan…Cyndi Lauper…Annie Lennox…Elton John…The Doobie Brothers…The Alan Parsons Project…Genesis/Phil Collins…Supertramp…TheStevie Wonder…The Cars…ELO…Little River Band…The Bee Gees…Dr. Hook…Commodores/Lionel Richie…Kenny Rogers…The Manhattans…Bryan Adam’s…Foreigner…Dan Fogelberg…England Dan & John Ford Coley…Marvin Gaye…ABBA…George Michael…Styx…Pat Benatar…Sheena Easton… Billy Idol…Huey Lewis & The News… Bread…Hall & Oates…Alabama…Carpenters…Queen…John Denver…Debarge… Van Halen…Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers…Smokey Robinson…UB40…ZAPP/Roger…Rod Stewart…Roberta Flack…Ray Parker Jr/Radio….38 Special…Richard Marx… …just a few off the top of my head😄😁

@@s.malone2849 🤭😆. Yes, that’s what happens with a music major. Sorry ‘bout that…I always get carried off and lost in my music🎼🤘🏾 Heartfelt Mahalo for asking, 2849….I live on O'ahu, but, have family there. Haven’t heard from two of them yet. Gut wrenching. If it, truly, wasn’t for music…😔 I’d be deep in freak out mode. The devastation is so sad. I was stationed in Germany when my unit went out to the first Gulf War in Kuwait in ‘91….film footage of Maui has sadly brought back memories I thought I had suppressed waaaay deep into my next lifetime…..umm, nope. Probably what I get for not seeing someone about back then, huh?🤔. Oh, well…I’m in my fifty’s now…so, just a few more years to hang on to. Again, thank you for asking. The outpouring of mainland and other overseas friends and, people I don’t know personally has really helped us all….especially, the great response to help in so many ways to our neighbor island ‘Ohana with food, water, people from other states flying in to help…it has truly gave me hope that our great nation still has people that care and put issues aside. I was kinda giving up hope the last ten plus years, or so. I’m taking vacation to go over to volunteer. Hopefully, we will be able to get that once beautiful island back up and growing again. It’ll take some years. And, a lot of healing. But, that island wasn’t given “Maui Nō Ka 'Oi(Maui is the Best)”, for nothing🎼🤙🏾 music.kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3aToINvn56Ej6s&feature=share

On Fleetwood Macs Greatest Hits Box Set, Christie McVie wrote 8 out of the 16 songs in the Greatest Hit's Box Set. That's more than Nicks or Buckingham. Crissy was so underrated in Mac but that's how she wanted and loved it. RIP Crissy

Better than the studio version, I always thought was kind of a flat recording. But that track worked for the masses. You can hear Lindsay's guitar licks here much clearer. Nice vocal fills from Stevie. Christine Perfect as always. The usual groove from John and Mick.

[@phil-nt4yz]

damn. Everyone should know time doesnt stop. I was 5 when this came out. Love life now.

Rare to see Lindsey playing with a pick, no?

[@crypto1701]

Very rare!

[@banditdarval9401]

He pings several harmonics throughout the song difficult to do without a pick.

[@crypto1701]

@@banditdarval9401 But it is unusual.. I don't think he even uses one even for this song anymore.

[@banditdarval9401]

They way Lindsay finishes is great. He kinda walks back a lil knowing he just killed it! LOL.

[@raulmacias6146]

Very nice Harmony Vocals by Stephanie "Stevie" Nicks!

[@4kflyhigh976]

Memories of Scarsdale,Ny,April 76..i was 16 ..great song..keep listening

[@mvinge]

A cool detail about this performance is that Lindsey is using a guitar pick. He is almost always fingerstyle. He usually uses his right hand fingers only withiut a pick but not here. And it's a huge triangle pick that you don't see very often. It's not unheard of but it's unusual. (I call it a Dorito. Lol) There are at least five different variations of guitar arrangements that I can find for Over My Head and many other Fleetwood Mac tunes. He's a brilliant guitarist.

[@markcollins7248]

[@JCZano]

One of the few Midnight Special recordings I find less than adequate. Sound is muddy and flat. Still worth watching because it captures a band in a point in time but the original recording really is so much better.

[@bigeegs95]

All my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs are Christine songs.

"Over My Head" You can take me to paradise And then again you can be cold as ice I'm over my head (over my head) Oh, but it sure feels nice You can take me anytime you like I'll be around if you think you might Love me baby (over my head) And hold me tight Your mood is like a circus wheel You're changing all the time Sometimes I can't help but feel That I'm wasting all of my time Your mood is like a circus wheel You're changing all the time Sometimes I can't help but feel That I'm wasting all of my time Think I'm looking on the dark side But everyday you hurt my pride I'm over my head (over my head) Oh, but it sure feels nice I'm over my head (over my head) But it sure feels nice I'm over my head (over my head) But it sure feels nice
