The reason Rumors was such a great album was because of the tension in the band. Stevie and Lindsey broke up. John and Christine's marriage was over. Mick Fleetwood's marriage also ended. Christine wrote "You Make Lovin Fun" about one of the lighting techs. Stevie started seeing Mick(the drummer). Then Mick cheated on Stevie with her best friend Sara. They were all young, had some money, and were all sleeping around, and doing a lot of coke. Basically every song on the album is about another band member. Dreams is about Lindsey. Go Your Own Way is Lindsey's message to Stevie. Rumors is the greatest Pop Rock album ever made. It's because the drama, the feelings, and the people involved were all real. They all lived through it. And they cared enough about the music to finish the album and not let the personal hell they were living through get in the way. As a work of art, it's a masterpiece. There's nothing phony or fake about it.

[@panamafloyd1469]

Johnathon beat me to it. IIRC, "Rumors" was the biggest record they ever had, and one of the biggest records of all time. They didn't splinter, they wrote the songs and did the work. I'll admit, though - after the dang thing made so much money, a lot of their reaction was kind of '..oh, I guess we're stuck with each other now..' 😉

[@caps689]

Stevie and Mick had an affair starting with the Rumours Tour that went on for almost 2 years after he had remarried Jenny and at the time she was dating Henley, Paul Fishkin and other guys. Oh and still in her words getting drunk and getting with Lindsey from time to time. "I need to dedicate this tonight to Lindsey, & he knows why -- He's my one true love for now & for always. It's called LANDSLIDE." - UCLA Oct. 4, 1977 (Rumours Tour) ... Sara was a friend she met when having an affair with Sara's husband Jim Recor. Recor is the one that told Stevie in 1979 that Sara had moved in with Mick. Mick dumped Stevie but not before going over to Lindsey's 3 days before and telling Lindsey about their long running affair. Meanwhile they had just started recording Tusk. If you thought recording Rumours was bad....

The best part is that Lindsey looked right back at her as if to say "go ahead and let it out" "I'll take it because I deserve it" I'm not going to look away in shame

[@jodymarkgraf7625]

Exactly! Lindsey wrote "go your own way" at Stevie, an angry (coke-raging) young man not accepting his contribution to the end of the relationship, and here, he seems to accept her pain and endures it with her. Also.....great performance of the meaning of the song..they are giving the audience the full story despite the impetus for the song being two decades in the past.

[@edieteich9488]

Got the same vibe too.

[@benswift5719]

i was at this concert, you could feel the tension in the crowd. Once the song was finished everyone just stood and stared at each other, it was a fantastic moment!!!

I was at a Fleetwood Mac concert (without Lindsey or Stevie) and everyone was standing around and staring at each other after Mick's body suit / vest drum solo on World Turning. Different kind of awkward though.

[@LOKISlog7]

The best version - Love how Lindsey uses the facial stares, and looks to get Stevie to show the raw emotion.There are videos where she breaks down crying, and he has to finish the song. He did it on purpose to get her emotional. Wonderful performance. RiP Christine - Thank you

[@anacap007]

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

When somebody still feels it this raw 20 years after the fact, it goes to show you how strong and real it was. That emotion she shows on stage for Silver Springs is as fresh as it was in 1977...I saw them do this in 1997 at MSG in NY City and I was floored. The song was supposed to go on the rumors album in 1977 but there wasn't enough space available ,so they just made it a single, what a mistake ! I think this may very well be the best song Stevie Nicks has ever done... Lindsay and Stevie's relationship was not one of those typical Hollywood marriages ,within three minutes after they break up, one of them is off vacationing in Bali with their nutritionist or personal trainer. You know like that Gisele Bundchen. She must have been really traumatized over her breakup with Tom Brady. The ink on the divorce wasn't even dry yet and she already had a new boyfriend lined up. I broke up with my ex 3 years ago and I'm still having a hard time. It just goes to show you that Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks really had what one would call true romance . Their 1977 album wasn't called Rumors by accident. Christine and John McVie we're breaking up, Christine was in the midst of an affair with a roadie or guitar tech for the band. Mick Fleetwood was divorcing his wife ( Jenny Boyd,sister of George Harrison's wife) and having an affair with Stevie Nicks. So they appropriately named the album rumours because God Only knows rumors were flying at the time!!!!

He was the music director on stage and he also co-produced this show and produced the album. He's helping pull the performance out of her. They filmed this over three days and Stevie said she wasn't happy with the first two. She said they were getting along so well it she was able to be vulnerable but here she was finally able to let it rip. Interesting to think that by 1997 it had been 30 years since they started in a band together. Personally and musically they know how to push each other's buttons.

I don't see awkwardness. I see genius. These 2 broke up in the 70s and moved on with many different partners. They are both able to tap into their emotions and imbue their music with it. They are both performing at the highest level.

[@damanfromtn]

Exactly. At this point they are just playing it up to give the audience what they want. She had an affair with the drummer Mic Fleetwood. They all have their historic turmoil.

[@Kuesel68]

That's exactly how I see it as well. It needs a lot of guts but also a lot of confession to music and the band to continue like that. This concert was recorded about 20 years after the breakup and the writing of the song, that was not a recent breakup!

[@LadybugLuv]

@@Kuesel68 Exactly Exactly! If it were THAT awkward they won't play it! It is such a beautiful heartbreak song.

Those two broke up way before the song was sung on stage… This was a reunion tour after the band had already broke up… That was was Fleetwood Mac was so great! Because I can show the tension and emotion between band members and still carry the song that a lot of people felt

[@docj72]

If you thought this was awkward, check out their live performance of “The Chain” (1982)…they are pretty much yelling at each other through their singing 😂😳

This is my favourite Fleetwood Mac performance, ever. The chemistry between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham was off the charts. The fact they were able to tap into that emotion from decades ago and it use it to drive a world class performance shows just how good these guys were. This entire concert was incredible, but Silver Springs always stands out as being a very raw performance. Thank you for reacting to this 🥰

[@OzarkExplorations]

that nights performance by them was one of the best of all time

[@Rickhorse1]

This song meant a lot to Stevie for many reasons. It was written for the Rumours album about her view of her break-up with Lindsey. But the group cut it from the album because they needed to cut down the time & also they felt it's slower tempo didn't quite fit with the other songs. Stevie almost left the band as a result. She was so angry. 20 years later (in this tv concert) they recorded the live performance and it became the hit that Nicks always believed it would be.

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

I think I would’ve cut “Oh Daddy” instead, though it’s a great song and would’ve been a tough decision no matter what. RIP Christie McVie.

[@rickryb4587]

I also believe this live version was nominated for a Grammy. Vindication after it being cut all those years ago.

[@armandoucles5346]

And it earned them a 1997 Grammy Nomination.

[@agresticumbra]

I don't think it was awkward. You witnessed decades of emotions, words, acts, and talent amongst the entire band. If nothing else, they put on a great show, and allowed you two to feel it all as if its brand new between them. You gotta know how many times they sang this song.

It doesn't matter how many years ago it was, The feelings in her heart will always come out. His feelings will always be there. And that's what's really great about the song. It's timeless. A story of love lost and heartbreak.

[@mykebreeden]

Funny considering she wrote 2 nice polite songs for him and he wrote a hostile song to her and she literally had to sing it. Which had to suck since not only was she the cheater. But stevie was very narcissistic at the time and it made her Ill to sing night after night . Not to mention even the songs she did write she only wrote the lyrics so all Lindsay is doing is playing the music to it HE wrote. While she had to sing his actual lyrics. So no she wasn't the queen lol

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

@@mykebreeden The music wasn't necessarily Lindsey's. Stevie could play piano (granted, not as well as Christine) enough to write her own tunes. She just needed the rest of the band, particularly Lindsey, to fill the song out and make it better. She never would have gotten far as a soloist if all she did was write lyrics and sing.

[@stevebuckland2053]

They were Rock Stars, not living normal lives like the rest of us... He wrote songs and 'made' her sing on them too. I'm sure no one 'made' anyone do anything, they knew they had a great band, it's called, THEIR JOB. We all still fall for it though, great music, great drama, no single person is to blame.

Stevie and Lindsey's relationship is so interesting because by all accounts, and even she herself has said it several times, Stevie is the one who broke up with Lindsey and she has often said that he's the one who wanted to stay together. But yet, she wrote this which is clearly about him and their relationship and the raw emotion and longing.

[@danielmatlock4674]

And I’m “Go Your Own Way”, Lindsey sings the line “packing up, shacking up is all you want to do” and he always turns and looks dead at Stevie.

[@roevega9902]

This song was bumped from the Rumours album. Was a b side. Stevie was so pissed. Became a hit when they did this concert. Wrote it for Lindsey

[@kevinmkraft]

You have to understand that this is an old song. While almost assuredly about Lindsay, they've done this song before. While Stevie obviously drew from their problem-ridden relationship of the past to pen this wonderful and passionate song, and some of those looks reflected that, Lindsay was actually giving Stevie facial cues for when she should begin the ad libs near the end of the song. and he was sweating because performing and performing under those lights makes one really hot.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "You Make Loving Fun"(Christine on lead) !!! Congrats on doing the best version! The intensity between Stevie and Lindsey was palpable, as promised! edit- this performance was 1997, 20 years after their breakup! Lindsey wrote "Go Your Own Way" about Stevie, so pay back is a b*&%@!!

I can’t believe they left this song off of Rumours, because it is, without a doubt, the most wonderfully petty and prophetic masterpiece of an eff you I’ve ever seen in my life. That man never did and never will get away from the sound of her voice. Ever. He will hear it on his death bed.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

That's Mick Fleetwood on the drums, the band's namesake. The man is phenomenal and such a gentle giant. As he states the band stayed together through it all, and a lot of good songs came out of it, they just stayed professional and played those songs as a gift to us, their fans.

[@jules8241]

This performance was 20 years after the song was released which means it was way after they broke up. Everyone knew it was about him. I think they we’re playing it up. His sweating was probably from the lights. Also, when this song came out they were in their prime. No way anyone was walking away.

[@dyoung136]

I believe this video performance is from 1997, 20 years after the song was actually recorded. This song was written by Stevie for the “Rumours” album but Mick Fleetwood (the drummer) squashed its inclusion on the album. However, it was released as the B-side of the 45 single (I know you’re way to young to remember 45s😂) of “Go Your Own Way”. Such a soap opera! Lindsey’s response to the breakup on the A-side, Stevie’s response to the breakup on the B-side and the end result of “Rumours” being one of the greatest relationship albums ever made! One of the greatest albums ever!! The passion of that music gave way to incredible, very personal live performances. But the band was always consummate, professional musicians onstage. They continued to make albums together in the 80s, 90s and 2000s and continued to tour off and on together with the classic lineup of Nicks/Christine/Lindsey/John McVie/Mick Fleetwood through 2015, until Lindsey left the band for good in 2018 and the devastating loss of Christine McVie last year. What an iconic group of musicians.❤️❤️

[@blemelin]

Watch John McVie playing bass. He was there. He saw their relationship back in the day. In the few moments he’s shown in this video, he’s playing (brilliant, as always) bass parts that make this song sound like there’s an orchestra back there somewhere, but he’s got his head down. You can almost see him thinking about what they were all like back then.

[@trjbrew]

Prior to joining Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey and Stevie recorded an album together featuring a song called "Long Distance Winner," well worth a listen. Yes, it is also a song Stevie wrote about Lindsey. I love all the songs she wrote about him. They are a perfect example of two people who will always love each other but can't be together.

[@caps689]

Fantastic album and LDW is my favorite song from along with Frozen Love. Crystal, Crying In The Night, Don't Le Me Down Again, Stephanie - also great. To think Landslide, Rhiannon, I'm So Afraid, Monday Morning, I Don't Want To Know, Sorcerer, That's Alright, Lady were all demoed and some already recorded for their second album - and they couldn't get another record deal on the strength of any of those songs.

[@johnharding7650]

Lack of maturity. These stars are too spoiled to make the compromises needed to make a relationship work

[@buckeye79]

[@imweakfordeaky]

About Lindsey sweating: keep in mind that stage lights are *hot* and pointing at the band from every conceivable angle, AND this song was performed approximately halfway through a 1.5 hour concert. But yeah - I have seen videos of various performances over the years, and Stevie + Lindsey *always* channelled that tension between them… it’s like they re-enacted the entire arc of their relationship, from love to anger to sadness to resignation, over and over across the decades… As far as how the rest of the band felt? Trust me, they had lots of their own relationship dramas going on too. Lol . Fleetwood Mac is like a primetime soap opera both on and off stage !

[@stevebuckland2053]

100%, he's not sweating because of Stevie, he plays hard at every show. This was 20 years after the breakup, it's called Show Business but, it's still awesome.

[@Lona_Chess]

Exactly. No doubt it's still an emotional song for them both. But wearing a suit under hot lights while playing a live concert for HOURS will make almost anyone sweat.

[@adamb3421]

There is a live version of “go your own way” where I think the breakup was very fresh. Lindsey sings and Stevie is on backup in a black top hat. You can definitely see in their faces how personal it is. It was written by Lindsey specifically about the breakup from what I’ve heard. It’s a great song and performance but also very emotionally revealing.

"Dreams" was also Stevie talking to Lindsey and "Go Your Own Way" is Lindsey talking to Stevie. They had a complicated relationship. Beautiful music together.

[@andyrunton]

“The Chain” is about Stevie, “Age of Seventeen” is about Lindsey. The vast majority of their music is them talking to each other in some way. The whole thing is such an emotional mess and that’s what she means by the “you’ll never get away from the voice of the woman who loved you.” Her voice is on his biggest hits. His is on hers. They’re forever linked. And their heartbreak will last forever. 😔💔

Again, this performance is from their reunion/concert that almost didn’t happen from what I read..They’re older and so perfectly seasoned here, and after much dramas.. There was quite a bit of “interactions” among the entire band.. They managed to pull it all together and this entire concert/ reunion was a MASTERPIECE! Y’all should watch the entire thing.

There was a time in Concert after the couples were all ready broken up, and Stevie and Lindsey wrote songs about each other and stared at each other on stage, and in one of those concerts after a certain song they actually hugged and kissed on stage in front of everyone! Showing that they could still care for each other and be friends

[@clintjames5671]

Fleetwood Mac is actually one of the rare bands that never did officially disband, despite their turmoil. Stevie did her solo career while remaining in the band, meanwhile, some of the other band members’ had their solo projects as well. I saw them on my birthday in 2018. Being a huge fan, it was absolutely incredible. It was entrancing. Through the various lineups with interchanging band members, heartbreaks, hostility, drugs, and alcohol over the years- it was about rock n roll, for them it was all about the music, about the band. And still is. It’s pretty remarkable that Fleetwood Mac has kept going, almost like it’s own entity. They’re a perfect example of captivating, real artists. I love that you love them as well Jay and Amber!!!! I look forward to every time you do anything Fleetwood Mac-related, it’s a great joy for me. Love it

They disbanded in 1995 after the latest round of replacements. They'd degenerated into 2nd billed playing county fairs and their album didn't even chart on the Billboard 200. Mick dismissed the other members realizing it was a new configuration too far. Then Mick and John were working as session musicians for Lindsey which eventually lead to The Dance in 1997.

[@dillonsronce2583]

It was amazing getting to see Fleetwood mac about 15 years ago. Thankfully Lindsey was still with them else it wouldn't have been the same. I was only able to tell my mom how good it was which sucked, because they have been her favorite band for about the past 30 years. I could only get her a shirt.

[@andreaknapp2394]

Love love this song...this & Rhiannon my faves....Stevie's vocals are so emotional in this one....love love her voice...

[@Dios67]

Lindsay's fine. He's played this song so many times next to Stevie. I'm sure there is still some emotion there but this is also for the cameras (The Dance from the mid 90's). The whole band hooked up with each other, lol.

[@leighs3928]

I remember watching this when it aired. Bought the CD and wore it out. That raw emotion at the end of this song and Stevie singing at him is just killer

[@michelemercier2286]

I like guitar players and feel that Lindsay Buckingham is underrated in that regard. This video gives a glimpse but the live version of The Chain (from 1982) is an excellent showcase. It also shows a bit more of Mic Fleetwood's drumming and, well, it's about the same level of intense as this. It amuses me whenever it cuts to Christine, because she's like the calm in the storm. Oh and it has a great base solo. All in all, The Chain is one of the best FM songs out there. Hope you guys watch it soon.

[@danielb2993]

John & Christine McVie went through a divorce about the same time that Stevie and Lyndsay were going through their breakup. The band was in turmoil and the lyrics on Rumours & Fleetwood Mac showed it. The emotions were raw and real.

[@LadyDragonborn]

I remember as a kid hunting down the 45 of “Go Your Own Way” just to get this song (it was the B side) since it was cut from the Rumours album. To me, it’s one of Stevie’s greatest songs. Also, Stevie was PISSED at Lindsay about “Go Your Own Way” because of the “shacking up” line. That made “Silver Springs” as the B side extra drama-tastic

[@cring768]

This song was written to go on the "Rumors" album in 1977 but it got cut from the album for various reasons and that is one of the reasons it was still so emotional for Stevie...she was bitter about her beautiful song being cut. And yes, it is about Lindsey. They put it on the B side of "Go Your Own Way" in '77, which, ironically, is Lindsey's song about Stevie. So here it was in 1997 when they got back together for a tour...20 years after she had written it and they put it on a new album and the song actually got nominated for a Grammy the next year. Stevie said she had passed a sign in travels that said Silver Springs (Maryland) and thought it sounded like a nice place to be. So she wrote it about Lindsey....he could have been her Silver Springs

[@leisastalnaker3790]

The drummer is Mick Fleetwood, one of the founders of the band.

[@marybaillie8907]

Stevie got the name for this song while driving through Silver Springs, Maryland, when she thought this sounded like an idyllic place to live. She used to sign her name in hotels as Miss Silver Springs. This was a definite anger tune written after Stevie and Lindsay broke up. Stevie lays it on the line. The other members of the band voted to not put this song on the Rumours album which annoyed Stevie. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@26shedan]

it's actually Silver Spring, MD not Silver Springs. I live here but yes I heard she saw the highway sign and got inspiration for the song. I went to see them in the 70's and Stevie was so out of it she could barely stand. Back then, we did not complain or try to get our money back as most of the audience was in a similar state-lol

[@lawrencedavis4406]

@@26shedan I actually have family in Silver Spring, MD, and go down every year...this song, the studio version that was rejected for the album & released as a B-side to Go Your Own Way, that was a big radio hit in Silver Spring for 2 reasons, the greatness of the song itself & the title...they viewed it as their song, and I would hear it all the time I was down there from New York...it is a great town slash small city, always loved it & viewed it as a second hometown...for years I never knew where to get the studio version, until 1992 (??) when it was placed on their boxset "25 Years: The Chain", but this live version from The Dance is as good but just ramps up the intensity & tension...

[@marybaillie8907]

@@26shedan Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like a few concerts I've been to. Have a great day. 👍✌️🇨🇦🤗🇺🇲🎶🎶

[@randypowers2503]

It actually wasn’t voted on. The reason it wasn’t put on Rumours was because of a space issue. You have remember that in 1977 there was no digital processing!

[@Chiari_Queen_T]

Lindsey wrote "You Can Go Your Own Way" about Stevie and the band was still together for a long time afterwards. Stevie got up on stage and sang the hell out of it knowing it was a slap in het face. The tension in the band was said to bring the best out of them musically. I think it brought the best out of their writing abilities and think their professionalism and talent made their music so good.

[@Shrykespeare]

Fun fact - this song was the "B" side to "Go Your Own Way" when that was released as a single. Also - you have listened to some of Stevie's solo stuff, and one of Christine's. Check out Lindsay Buckingham's solo jaunts, like "Go Insane" or "Trouble".

[@HidingFromFate]

LOVE 'Trouble'!

[@gpg9516]

The B side studio version should have been on the album AND a single.

[@carlaharrington5120]

You have to understand. This song was written during a time when both couples in the group were dealing with break ups! The entire Rumors album was written by band members lashing out at one another through the lyrics!! The performance you are watching is at least 20 years after the fact so to a great degree everyone has moved on. Even so Stevie and Lindsey understand the wisdom of embracing the passion of a song while performing it!!

[@surlechapeau]

Mick Fleetwood was going through a second divorce to Jennie Boyd also. The turmoil created a helluva album though.

[@caps689]

@@surlechapeau His first. The second happened because of his affairs with Stevie and Sara.

[@stevehamilton8824]

The sound of Fleetwood Mac is like nothing else. RIP Christine. You need to check out some of Lindsey's solo work - "Trouble", "Holiday Road", "Go Insane". The dynamic between Lindsey and Stevie has always been one with a lot of tension. It is what made a good hunk of their music so incredible. Christine McVie was also married to John McVie on Bass and that tension was there. Stevie had an affair with Mick Fleetwood after she left Lindsey so the dysfunction in the band was so strange, but it made for incredible music. But as you mentioned, that tension did have its internal issues, which led to the band breaking up for a long time.

[@SurvivorBri]

I never let whatever drama that's involved affect my enjoyment of the song. This is a beautiful number. Absolutely beautiful and sincere.

[@LetsDoEntertainment]

And that concert was 20+ years later! I had the honor of seeing Fleetwood Mac on that same tour. It stands as one of the Top 5 concerts I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot, LOT of concerts beginning with Elvis Presley in 1975 and most recently Genesis in 2021 (as far as major international acts). That whole concert was memorialized on a DVD called "The Dance" and it is well worth a front to back watch. The band never sounded so good on stage than they did on this tour.

[@PriestessOfNothing]

Being a Fleetwood Mac fan is kinda like watching the longest soap opera on the face of the planet sometimes, but it's been worth every minute of it.

[@straycatttt2766]

Agreed. FMac historians know that drama even pre-dates Buckingham & Nicks joining the band. FM fired former guitarist Bob Weston for sleeping with Mick’s wife. Former guitarist Jeremy Spencer left FM to join a cult. A different cult hooked founder Peter Green on acid, leading to his departure.

[@caps689]

@@straycatttt2766 Peter Green was schizophrenic, he'd been doing acid and other drugs for awhile (probably self medicating ) before the trip that pushed him over the edge. Meanwhile there was also poor doomed brilliant young Danny Kirwin who had mental health problems and was an alcoholic who tried to beat Green with his Les Paul. Green though wouldn't fire him or even Jeremy Spencer who often did not show up or refused to play which is why he hired Kirwin and FM had 3 guitarists. John McVie was also an ugly alcoholic which lead Christine to sleeping with the sound engineer. All pre B&N. Buckingham & Nicks may have also been messy but their joining at least made the others millionaires multiple times over. 😆

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

I can not believe you two have still not reacted to Fleetwood Mac’s Gold Dust Woman you have to do that one ASAP! 👍🏽🙏🏽✌🏽♥️

[@juleswertis9482]

Stevie was not the only one. Christine McVie wrote one of their biggest hits about an affair she had while with Bassist John McVie. That would be "You make loving fun." Lindsey wrote "Go your own way" about Stevie. But the most important song that addressed the relationships in the band would be "the Chain." With all 5 having song credit on that one.

[@ronlopo6269]

Stevie Nicks went out with --MICK --the drummer after her and Lindsey broke up

[@connieoshea]

I’d so be up and ready for seeing something like this, but with Boy George and Culture Club i.e. George singing all wide eyed and full of tension to ex-boyfriend/drummer of the band, Jon Moss, who all his songs in the 80s were written about. That would be some really palpable stuff right there. Too bad Jon was allegedly ejected from the band and spent the best part of last year suing them.

[@MrLedotson]

You all need to give a little more credit to Mr. Lindsay Buckingham. First, she wouldn't have been in the band without him. Mic Fleetwood wanted Lindsay as his new singer and guitarist. Lindsay said, "Not without my girlfriend." Second, he definitely can hold his own in writing song about the breakup. Go Your Own Way is one of the best songs on the Rumors album. Which is tough on a nearly flawless record. Lastly, Landslide was written before they joined Fleetwood Mac. It is more about whether she was going to give up her dreams of music and her father buying her a ticket back to LA. At the time, Lindsay was part of that future.

[@roger1296]

One of THE BEST songs from FM….You have to remember, when they performed this, many many years have passed…they pretty much had moved on at this point…however, they have major history together, they still all love each other…thats why losing Christine is still so hard for me because those harmonies will never be heard live again.

[@ChandraLeigh]

Believe me, Lindsey has his own songs that are about Stevie. Whenever you watch them live, Stevie and Lindsey always give looks. You need to watch that entire concert. Best concert ever. Annnnd, if you will please watch this video of Stevie and Lindsey singing about their tumultuous relationship it’s titled “Fleetwood Mac 12-30-13 MGM GrandLas Vegas- ‘Say Goodbye’l

I love the piano arrangement. Wow, this actually put tears in my eyes. I grew up with the band, but never really got into their messy life

Not that the lyrics weren''t personal, but they were told to play it up as it was being recorded. Haunting yet magical. She and I share a birthday, but not the same year (she is little older).

This is one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. Stevie is incredible in this live version. ❤ Loved the looks on your faces at the end of the song 😆

[@KatSut1978]

Fleetwood Mac all basically hooked up with each other at one time or another but Stevie and Lyndsey and their music was always fueled by love and hate in equal measure during their heyday. That’s what makes it sooo damn good!

[@caps689]

Outside of the original two couples it was just Stevie and Mick sneaking around and cheating for about 2 years. That could have destroyed the band. The other three weren't as stupid or perpetually coked up to risk it.

[@epona1969]

OMG, the historical soap opera between the members of this band is legendary. Which is part of what made their album Rumors so successful. There was no holds barred mud-slinging going back and forth through their music. Lindsey and Stevie were breaking up as were Christine and John McVie. Mick Fleetwood had his own personal drama going on in his marriage. It was a perfect storm of breakups and a whole lot of hurt feelings. Lindsey certainly voiced his opinion on the ending of their relationship with Go Your Own Way and Stevie responded with Dreams. I strongly encourage you to read about the history of the band from the perspectives of Mick Fleetwood, Carol Ann Harris (who dated Lindsay for several years), and the biographies written about Stevie Nicks drawing from interviews she has given over the years. As awkward as watching this performance is (YEARS after the breakup between Stevie and Lindsey), imagine the tensions in the studio during the recording of Rumors and subsequent albums! In spite of the turmoil, none of the members were quite ready to walk away from the success of Fleetwood Mac and the music they were able to produce at that time. Mick Fleetwood, the drummer, was very instrumental (no pun intended) in keeping Fleetwood Mac together - even when members of The Mac insisted on working in separate studios away from one another and having their tracks added as part of the final production.

[@jimmydaves]

Stevie's and Lindsay's original breakup songs were from 1976 - "Go Your Own Way" from Lindsay and "Dreams" by Stevie.

[@jamessinacore6991]

Soooo glad you watched this version of Silver Springs! It’s so much more powerful watching Stevie sing it directly to Lindsey. Her voice is at optimal Stevie-ness in this song too. You should check out Christine singing You Make Lovin Fun with the bassist, John McVie, her ex-husband knowing the song was written when they were married, but it ain’t about John.

[@jamielloyd697]

I have seen many people mention the song The Chain. It is a song about how the band promised each other that no matter what was going on personally they would be professional and never let it break the chain (BAND). Stevie spent many years touring with Fleetwood Mac and then would hit the road on her solo tour. So committed to the fans she spent almost all her time on the road.

[@danfrederick9389]

Stevie and Lindsey started playing and writing music in high school. The connection between these two very talented musicians runs very deep and to a certain degree they still love each other. The drummer is the Mick Fleetwood and the bass player is John Mcvie hence Fleetwood Mac one of the best bands from the 60's. The lineup has changed more than a few talented musician have played with the band.

[@MadMax-pu1kj]

A cold, snowy day in a hotel on a business trip in New York listening to those lyrics, her voice, and his guitar with tears streaming down my face.

[@leonabarad6972]

It should be noted that this was a 1997 reunion performance of the band after they'd been split for over a decade (and longer since Lindsey Buckingham left earlier). So all emotions and feelings were heightened.

[@elaine8013]

This is rock n roll's biggest love story. They loved each other and hurt each other way too much but they still love each other. Lindsey wrote Go Your Own Way which was very painful for Stevie to sing over and over. She wrote Silver Springs. There are videos of them performing this song and crying. They will always love each other but some hurt is just not forgivable. Some times love is just not enough.

[@HardKnox333]

That was such a great concert. I watched it multiple times when it came out on VH1 back in 1997, crying the whole time. Lindsey's song "So Afraid" from this concert is an absolute must. So powerful.

[@DrLeadfoot]

Big Love off The Dance performance, won’t be disappointed. some of the best acoustic play ever. Thanks for sharing your music journey with us.

[@johncook2765]

The beautiful thing about Stevie and Lindsey is that as often as they hurt each other, they never stopped loving each other AND respecting each other. He played a beautiful guitar solo on a song she wrote about how he hurt her.

[@cleanslate9623]

Stevie and Lindsey lived together for years and did their own music before being a part of Fleetwood Mac. She worked different jobs like waitressing etc then came home and worked on music with Lindsey to the wee hours, then she got up and went to work. She was their bread winner. Hats off to Lindsey. Hes an amazing talent but to anyone who has looked into their history Lindsey is the one Stevie had the longest relationship with. Its heart wrenching. No judgement at all. I dont pretend to know what i dont know but it seems that they truly were in love at one time. If you watch her interview on master class with Ophra, she tells how they met. Its an amazing adventure
