Lindsey's solo is one of the greatest rock n' roll solos ever, and yet it only shows a small fraction of his technical facility on the instrument. It is the PERFECT solo for the song. He could have gone off on some great soloing tangent, and it would've been good, but he plays here to serve the song.

The song has an almost operatic quality to it, what with the internal conversations going on during it. One aspect of this song hasn’t even been alluded to in any of these comments - John McVie’s bass solo. Sounds like thunder coming down from the heavens. It carries the entire last two minutes of the song. After the guitar comes back in John just goes into full beast mode. If anyone in Fleetwood Mac could be considered underrated, it’s Mr. McVie. He and Mick are the glue that have kept this band going all these years. I’m proud to call John my first bass teacher. I can’t read a note of music, but I learned to play by playing along with “Rumours”. At one point or another, bands I’ve played in over the past 45+ years have played every single song on the album plus “Silver Springs”. I’ve JUST ABOUT got it right after all this time. It should also be noted that McVie is playing a one-of-a-kind Alembic Series I fretless bass with a stainless steel fretboard.

The drama going on behind this performance is as awesome as this performance. Wow.

Heather Smith I was lucky enough to see Fleetwood Mac twice on the marathon 1979-1980 Tusk tour. My 1st show, on Dec 1st 1979 blew me away! Got "stadium seats" (standing seats on the field of an indoor football stadium) for $10. Stood outside in single digit temperatures for 3 hours, waiting for the stadium security to let the crowd in. Doors opened and ran in. Got 20 feet from the stage right in the middle! Wow! I was amazed how much they rocked in person vs the album recordings. Lindsay Buckingham was on fire! The band was still in their prime musically...and they had the money to buy the best equipment! Remember them playing the Chain! Really loved how they'd turn the lights down midway through the song...,and then the rhythm section of John McVie & Mick Fleetwood would kick-in...1st Mick tapping on the drums, then John chiming in w the 1st bass line, then the spotlight hit John, " doog-dada-doog" and then Lindsay joined in the fun w that magnificent guitar jam...."running in the shadows". I remember turning around, after the song ended, as crowd erupted, and the house lights went down. All I saw were Bic Lighters ablaze everywhere and 20,000+ stomping their feet for more!

It seems raw, personal, and magical.

I have never made a comment about a song but the passion you feel from the performance of this video takes you to another level of being that is beyond description. I have revisited this song so many times over the years in order to feel. Thanks!

John is awesome here....for sure! Perfect line for the song, memorable. But best ever? Eh.... top 20 for sure. Based solely on its fit to the song. There's many more technically amazing bass lines/ players. Wooten, Sheehan, Hamm, Jameson. Along this kind of line though, it's hard to beat john Paul jones on " the lemon song".

I've decided the bassline at towards the end of this song is one of the greatest in all of Rock N Roll history

Incredible performance- in a deafening crowd. The bass tone in the second half is hypnotic, the groove is so compelling... can almost taste it A kind of mystical experience

The origins of this song was that Fleetwood Mac were going through troubles within the band.., they were splitting at the seems.., this song "The Chain" was to remind them of why they were doing what they do.., that nobody was above the group as a whole.., and that no one person could.., "Break The Chain!".

I keep coming back to this video. Has to be one of the best live performances of all time.

This is one of the performances where, despite the relatively poor audio quality, I will take this live version over the studio version any day of the week.

Wow just the FATTEST BASS !! and that little riff at 4:20 during the epic bass line that John McVie does before the lead guitar part is so frikin awsome, Rumours is such a great album. This song also reminds me of the F1 Grand Prix coverage in the UK on BBC 👏👏👏

Stevie at 4:08 with the heals and that pose... just wow.

The Chain is hands down one of the coolest songs that Fleetwood Mac ever did live and it was a "all hands on deck" type of effort because the song started out as a Stevie Nicks lyric. But that only tells half the story. Lindsey Buckingham was a tyrant in the studio, a bit OCD when it came to being a producer of Fleetwood Mac in the studio. The Rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie really are a huge part of that song! And live it was a total group effort. Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham are in synch with their vocal harmony too!

The irony is that if the personal lives of the members hadn't been as fucked up as they had been at crucial points in the group's history they wouldn't have had the core of material to draw from. All of the pain, drama and as was opined by another the drugs were what made the band so interesting! As I said earlier Lindsey was a total dock in the studio. Completely OCD tyrant when it came to what he wanted. Stevie said they couldn't stand to be in the studio at the same time that they operated through the engineer what each needed from the other. To say the least it was a very dysfunctional way to cut an album. The men got on quite well but the men and the women! Oy gavault! Zeit ist mashugna!

I saw them in 79 New Haven Coliseum, Ct. So amazing!

When concerts were about MUSIC. That fucking CROWD. That everything.
