Stevie always had a problem when recording live where she would sing things differently than how it was recorded. If you listen to their live album, The Dance, you'll get a better version of her singing live but even there it's not like the original album. In fact, Silver Springs almost didn't make the album because of that. It was the last day they were doing recordings at the concerts that it came out right and that one was used for the album.

The mix is different because you are comparing a live version to a studio track. There is always a difference. Only lipsynched videos will be the same.

It's Mick Fleetwood on the drums. John Mc Vie was the bass player. Also, Mick had to play this on many occasions, live. Thus showing what a great, underestimated, drummer he was.

It's the heartbeat bass that brings this song to the heights. Brilliant!

The drums are "with", but not "persistent"! They swung with a light HUMAN touch! (Not like a metronome!) Beth, Keep doing what you do! (Keeping your mind open is the BEST of all the things you do!)

Lovely reaction, Beth. I think the line "Thunder only happens when it's raining; Players only love you when they're playing" might be one one (two) of the greatest lines in popular music. Given that it was written so quickly, that time on the bed behind the piano must have been truly inspired.

R.I.P. Christine McVie, one of my favorite bands saw them a couple of times live

Imagine being in a band, writing a song about your breakup with another band member, then having it be a huge hit and then having to play it over and over... with that band member you broke up with. Then having the other band member who you broke up with write their own song about that breakup, and having it also become a big hit, and having to play that song over and over also. I introduce you to Fleetwook Mac.

Tho the specifics of the songs lyrics are not exactly what happened but the theme of separation is directly from that. Then we have Axl Rose recording sound of having sex with the girlfriend of the drummer and using it in one of their songs. Ostensibly as revenge for being unfaithful but there's different versions of the details of course...

That's not even taking into account the marriage breakdown of John and Christine McVie, which was happening around the same time.

Very good analysis and information. Stevie is one of the greatest singers ever to me She also wrote Rhiannon in about 20 minutes The best video of Rhiannon is from the Midnight Special in 76. Hasnt got blocked yet Shes in her 70s and currently performing. Keep up the good work.

Mick Fleetwood was playing the drums; John McVie is on bass.

Yes! Rumors is one of the very best albums/music eras of all-time! (SO much was going on bacj then!) Rock & Roll was born in the 50's, but it "grew-up" in the 70s! Amazing stuff has happened since then too! (But, as hard as I search, I still think the 70s was overall the BEST era for all recorded music yet!)

Also imagine Lindsey producing and putting the music to a song about him ... And, he didn't want the breakup. 🙆🏽‍♀️

Their music is legendary and timeless. I grew up on it as a kid. Loved it then still do now. ❤

The video is actually a live take. Most bands in the days pre-MTV would shoot videos for certain shows, but would do them live, not miming.

Stevie voice has an intangible quality. It's a feeling.

Probably the best analysis I've ever watched of any song! You do not miss a thing! We do this song in our band and we learned so much! That Aminor is so nicely placed-I didn't even know it was there! Thanks!!!!! So much!!!!!!

Love Beth's passion.

For the best demonstration of the power Stevie had in her voice during these years, there is the incredible performance of "Rhiannon" on the Midnight Special in 1975, that would be such a good watch on the channel.

I saw them live in 1976 I think. I loved the song Rhiannon on the album...but listening to it live? It was like a different song full of power and the end...I was like wow what was that! Blew me away. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. People think they're soft rock... they are not...they are a like a pit bull live. Or they were haven't seem them since the 70's.

I think Stevie Nicks performance of Silent Night is the greatest performance by a female singer in the history of music. Her voice is magical.

Such a great band. Please bless us with more. Timeless and magical artists. Thank you Beth🥰

It's seems you may not have realized this is a live performance and not just a different mix of the song. The backing vocals sound much different because -- being live -- it is missing the vocal overdubs that Stevie Nicks added on the original studio recording.

One of the most beautiful album 🤘

One of the greatest of all time, yes.

Wow! They were young in this one! ❤

That whole album is pain and betrayal and heartbreak channelled into beautiful music. I was at secondary school when it came out and I had a decided crush on Stevie Nicks 🤣 I'm still learning to play Never Going Back Again. Lindsay Buckingham is a ferociously brilliant guitarist.

Rumours is definitely one of the greatest of all time! 100% agree with you on that! Gold Dust Woman is my favourite song by Fleetwood Mac, followed by The Chain

As a songwriter myself I learned a long time ago from this song in particular that you can keep the same chords for the verse and chorus as long as you change the melodies... That being said The melodies have to be exquisite 💜

I can nearly remember my dreams, only if I wake up the next day and the dream I dream I had I usually ends up coming true. About 15 years ago I had a dream about going to see Fleetwood mac, I told an uncle of mine about it and he said that they were going on tour.

You are absolutely right, Beth. This is one of the greatest albums of all time. And, although I do like this song, "The Chain" will always be my favorite.

I'm very pleased you found/used a different version of this song, more obscure, than most reactors. Love, love, LOVE the change of dynamics through the first verse harmonies, the disposition of high/low rather than the usual Stevie dominate we normally hear. Good on you!

I think it is Stevie singing the high harmony note and Christine McVie is singing the middle main harmony.

My hearing is a little compromised so I may be wrong but to me it sounds like both female voices are singing the same as the 2004 mix but Lindsey is singing his part higher, very close to the lower female voice. That takes away from the fullness of the three part harmony.

Can't go wrong with Fleetwood Mac.

Only a person who could listen to her songs and have the main takeaway be “when did goats learn to sing” could be someone who is so dense that they would go out of their own way to watch a video that focuses on her singing for the sole purpose of saying that you think she sounds like a goat…but I’m glad you got that off your chest I guess…

Great video! If you haven’t done a reaction to Judy collins “where are the clowns” you definitely should!

The entire album is a masterpiece. Also please review “Sara” I believe it’s her best composition

Fleetwood Mac would make some biopic, right from Peter Green to Neil Finn

I recently realized Holding Back The Years by Simply Red is also only two chords. Amazing songwriting but it's made extraordinary by the arrangement - the benefit of such an incredible band.

Beth... Time for you to react to Nova "Lost Girls"... Better known for her videos; she directs, shoots and edits. Nova is an OG rapper, but she is way more than that. On Lost Girls she tells her story of growing up (Deep) and gives us some nice vocals. You red head youtubers should work together. I saw Stevie in concert two times once with Tom Petty and once with her own solo band, great shows.

6:06 interesting conversation on this switch of harmony and melody. There's a recording of a live version of Comfortably Numb where Bowie duets with Gilmour. And for the verses Bowie sings the harmony but the melody is left out.very different interpretation. (interesting as well that the harmony was left out on the album because Roger didn't like it, and David put it back in later)

Hey beth, I love this song dreams. It is unique in particular that you can keep the chord for the verse of chorus 👍 🎵

Excellent video, Beth, I learned a lot about about a song I've been listening to for nearly 50 years :) I'd really like to see you react of Silver Springs live at Burbank in 1997, another corker of a song by Stevie and the looks passing between Stevie and Lindsey are a sight to behold.

This song takes me back to a summertime in the 1970's. First cigarette, first taste of Budweiser, first girlfriend, first win on a pool table...great times.

It's not John McVie on the drums, it's Mick Fleetwood. John McVie is on the bass.

Stevie could do the simple chord patterns because her voice is so distinctive and expressive. Her song writing was more about the lyrics and the mood. Rhiannon live on the Midnight Special is a must see for Stevie fans....one of the best live performances you will ever see.

It's been a while since you analyzed Brazilian singers

Back in the 90's there was a TV show called Xena, Warrior Princess that was a cult hit. The star of the show, Lucy Lawless, got invited onto Saturday Night Live, and when asked what she could do, She said she did a mean Stevie Nicks impression. They said OK and Stevie Nicks Fajita roundup was born. It was one of the funniest skits that SNL has ever done and only fragments of it still exist on the internet. Here is one, kzread.info/dash/bejne/X66TutycZ7iYpLw.html but if you listen to it. You will never be able to listen to the original again without this invading your brain.

Chech out Leann Rimes unchained melody

You’re not wrong in catching that the vocal arrangement is different here than the album version, but it’s a bit hard for me to believe that you didn’t realize that this is a live performance. But perhaps it’s a testament to their skill that this could be mistaken for a different mix of the studio version. On the album, Stevie sang the main vocal melody as well as adding a harmony in the background. She obviously can’t sing two different vocal lines at the same time in a live performance, so the result is going to sound different. In your defense, she did take the higher harmony in live performances in the earlier years, which I don’t understand because the chorus would have sounded fuller if she had sang the main melody, which she eventually started doing a bit later on. But the band must have clearly agreed on that being the vocal arrangement for the three singers in those years.

Speaking of hypnotic, as mentioned about the drumming in this song, you could do "Hypnotized" with Bob Welch RIP on vocals. That song has an incredible groove. Still my favorite FM song, followed by "Oh well".

Pleeease react to the orchestra version of “Se Deus Me Ouvisse” be Chitãozinho e Xororó with Sandy & Junior It will leave you stunned!

But there is thunder without rain too, so I reject the premise 🤪

Love your content! Curious question, as it relates to Fleetwood Mac......the 3 leads, Lindsey, Christine, and Stevie, all have unique, but perhaps not Steve Perry-like vocals, but when singing together, it's like a river of musical wonder. Would you disagree?

Please react to cover my by stray kids, it is a beautiful song and its vocals WOW!

The studio version, nicks backs herself up throughout which she can’t do live. It differentiates the studio version as the band’s #1 Fleetwood Mac hit of all time. Still, these harmonies are silk.

No there you go again. Truer words were never spoken. A very emotionally tumultuous group of talented individuals who were able to create such an emotional division between themselves. You'll know. Thank you Beth for your analogy. This album when released and I was there, was incredibly daunting. She Stevie actually called herself a Welsh witch. Lindsay and Stevie you could tell by watching them live that there was a lot of animosity between them.

Wasn't it mick Fleetwood on drums??

aside from Thriller, It has to be the best album of all-time

Yes, yes, tis true, tis true. It's meant to harken back to an earlier time, when the truth was plain.:)

Too bad Lindsey can't stop badmouthing Stevie...like..get over it please. FM is in my top 5 bands but Stevie Nicks almost surpasses them with Bella Donna... Beautiful, touching songs. I still get tears in my eyes listening to the Highwayman..

I remember these songs playing on the radio when they were released. I was a kid but I can still remember how magical these songs were... whether listening in the car going down the road or listening to the radio at home late at night.

I love this live version, but the studio version. All of the harmonies you refer to are just Stevie. “Lonely” “Stillness, Ohhhhh” all Stevie overlaid on the melody. It’s tremendously haunting.

I met Mick Fleetwood in 2015 before their gig in Glasgow. Had my photo taken with him, I swear it was like Gandalf meets Frodo 🤣🤣

Stephanie is singing to herself - "Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom. Well, who am I to keep you down? It's only right that you should play the way you feel it." That's Steph to herself, she wants to leave, again, not Lindsey.

I think the very best male singer for the "cry break" is Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues. He uses it so effectively in so many songs - Nights in White Satin, Voices in the Sky, Tonight, Question, etc. Made my wife swoon for years (and still).

A great song, I don't think there was anything 'healthy' about it. It was a great example of suffering for one's art...

Silver Springs from the 1997 The Dance, definitely had daggers between them!

Simplicity is often highly effective. Consider the principal of the straight man in comedy. Gracie Allen wouldn't have been nearly as funny without George Burns as the straight man, nor would Leslie Nielsen be as funny if he didn't play his parts straight. To use a musical example, Keely Smith playing not just straight but downright flat made Louis Prima that much funnier. Of course both of them were sterling vocalists.

"The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)" from the end of the Peter Green era is well worth a listen if you want to see how different a band Fleetwood Mac were.

Music is a funny thing. This was a truly great album, but I still can't enjoy it because of what was going on in my life when it was everywhere. The video is excellent as ever.

Sadly Dreams is Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckinghams break-up song, So i'm pretty sure it had to be hard for her to sing.

I love how this song became viral again a couple of years ago just by a single Tiktokker riding a skateboard and drinking a can of raspberry juice. XD
