"The Chain" is the Fleetwood Mac song that builds and has the mother of all pay offs! IMO it is the best track they ever composed/recorded. No one is going to object to you reacting to another Mac track.
Lindsey is a guitar players guitarist ..He can rip it up and be subtle as hell, and in this song his haunting phrases are killer..He can stand up to any guitarist
I saw Stevie Nicks show in Charlotte NC last October 🔥 It was pure fire even at age 74! She stills rocks it. When she did this song the place went crazy! Everyone was singing word for word all together with her ❤ It was pure magic 🎤
Back in those days, people either wore or carried a tiny silver spoon for snorting a particular powdery substance. Nicks sings, "Take your silver spoon, dig your grave." Of course, being born with a sliver spoon means something completely different but it's safe to assume which one she's referring to. Sidenote: That howling during the fade out is all Lindsey's crazy ass.
I recommend that you listen to The Chain next…it’s the most powerful track on this album, and I have loved this album since it was released (46 years ago last week)
One of my favorite verses ever: *Well did she make you cry* *Make you break down* *Shatter your illusions of love* *Is it over now* *Do you know how* *To pick up the pieces and go home*
The SUPER 70S! COUDNT BE TOUCHED EXCEPT MAYBE ANOTHER 70S BAND, THE EAGLES. OF COURSE Bob Seger would nee😊d to be mentioned. But so was Heart! And Alan Parsons and so manny other SUPER STARS OF THE INCREDIBLE, 70S.THATS WHY THEY WERE SUPER!😢
Nope to you. There’s a live version from Madison Square Garden where she does the howl a couple of times. I think there’s a version from Philadelphia, as well. Also, Ken Caillat’s production notes from the studio confirm that it’s Stevie.
Lindsey is incredible with the guitar. If you wish to experience his talent, he did a solo concert where he played and sang the song “Big Love”. You will be amazed.
I was 17 when this album first came out in '77...it was in everybody's collection, LP, for the bedroom, and cassette for the car...the whole album is great. Rock ON!
i once was in Reno, Nevada at the Reno Hilton (now it's the Grand Sierra Resort), and they had an outdoor ampitheatre and from out hotel window we could see and hear Stevie Nicks rehearing this song. We also were there for that concert of course. It was cool to see the entire rehearsal. It was amazing! Great reactions!
Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967. Fleetwood Mac were founded by guitarists and vocalists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, and drummer Mick Fleetwood. Bob Brunning was hired as a temporary bass guitarist before John McVie joined the line-up in time for their eponymous debut album. Danny Kirwan joined as a third guitarist and vocalist in 1968. Keyboardist and vocalist Christine Perfect, who contributed as a session musician from the second album onwards, married McVie and joined in 1970, becoming known as Christine McVie. Primarily a British blues band at first, Fleetwood Mac achieved a UK number one with "Albatross",[6] and had other hits such as the singles "Oh Well", "Man of the World", and "The Green Manalishi". Green, Spencer and Kirwan all left in succession during the early 1970s, replaced by guitarist and vocalist Bob Welch, guitarist Bob Weston and vocalist Dave Walker. By 1974, Welch, Weston and Walker had all either departed or been dismissed, leaving the band without a male vocalist or a guitarist. In late 1974, while Fleetwood was scouting studios in Los Angeles, he heard the American folk-rock duo Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. He asked Buckingham to be their new guitarist and vocalist with Buckingham agreeing on the condition that Nicks could also join as vocalist.
Stevie built her career on our presumption of her as that dark mysterious white witch, which she says she's not, but she has played right into it.... black lace, her jewelry it's paints a mysterious picture
The bass riff from The Chain is was got my then 14 year old son to self teach himself to learn the bass. At 21 he can play very well and the electric and acoustic of both bass and electric. What a way to make your Gen X mother proud.❤
The opening line tells you everything… Rock on Gold, dust woman take your silver spoon and dig your grave. It’s all about drug addiction, and it is such a spooky, eerie, trancelike mood created, and maybe that is to mirror the trance-like mood addicted people feel.
Rumours was an instant commercial success, selling over 10 million copies worldwide within just a month of its release. It garnered widespread acclaim from critics, with praise centred on its production quality and harmonies, which frequently relied on the interplay among three vocalists and has inspired the work of musical acts in different genres. It won Album of the Year at the 1977 Grammy Awards. It has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. It has received Diamond certifications in several countries, including the UK, Canada, and Australia, and has been certified 20× Platinum in the US.
A classic. Given the layers of bullshit which were revealing themselves during the recording of this project, it's amazing that it was ever finished. Lucky for us.
The band was in the midst of a lot of drama and emotional turmoil during the recording of this album. The songs were basically about each other. Allegedly, Stevie wrote this song about her cocaine use.
This is another one like "Rhiannon" where she really takes off with the last section on the live version. "Sisters of the Moon" is that song from the next album "Tusk", where she gets possessed at the end of the song when they do it live. If you want to really see Lindsey go off on guitar, watch a live performance of "I'm So Afraid", from the 2014 tour. I don't think there is a PRO shot, but there are plenty of audience videos that are of good enough quality to enjoy it.
My girlfriend at the time and I seen them play August 1st 1977 , Kansas city MO. Kemper arena. They played songs from one of the best albums ever produced. Rumors. They were fantastic live
That one hit hard with Christie M. I have listened to this song when it comes on the radio. Not my favorite of theirs, But it is good! It does sound like a spooky western song. Think of a sunny ghost town when i hear it. You are right, the whole song sounds like a "build up". It goes to show you they are so good because they are so versatile. Their songs don't all sound the same. Their voices are recognizable but their songs are very unique. Speaking of... "Tusk" is a song that is so different than any song you'll ever hear. But so good!!!! Nick, we kinda lost you from 9:10 to the end. 😄Very fun to see your first reactions!
Me, smiling, LOVING 🥰 this song and remembering when I was 18 years old in the US Navy stationed in Norfolk, VA. God I miss this era of *great* classic hits.
You will see the most passion in all FM songs in their live concert videos. Especially watching Stevie perform live in the 70s. She rocked! The entire Rumors album was about the interpersonal relationships and break-ups of the band members, especially Stevie & Lindsey's personal relationship, but they still stayed together for the music.
I love Lindsey and his solo work. I think he is underrated because his style and sound is so much different than the speed demons. He's also very talented doing the writing and mixing.
It's a very ethereal and expressive song. I love the way you guys give context to songs by adding information relating to songs. I haven't heard all of this album but I've heard so much about it. Fleetwood Mac are a phenomenal band and every song I've heard of theirs I've loved it.
If you want to try something really interesting…..try a few cuts from Buckingham Nicks. It was Lindsay and Stevie’s album before joining Fleetwood Mac. You can really hear how they changed FM’s sound and turned them into a super group.
FM were a supergroup in the late 1960s, long before Bucƙingham and Nicks joined. FM were first formed in the late 1960s, with Peter Green as lead guitarist and vocalist and Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. They had a number of major hits such as The Green Manalishi, Oh Well, and Albatross. After a number of changes in the line up in the first half of the 1970s including Peter Green's departure, the group was reduced to just two of the original members - Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. John's wife, Christine, formerly keyboardist with the British blues band Chicken Shack, subsequently joined up as vocalist and keyboard player. Then Mick Fleetwood recruited a Californian singer/songwriter couple, Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in 1975. That is how the second incarnation of Fleetwood Mac came about. It is a great pity that many fans of the Buckingam/Nicks era of FM seem entirely unaware of the original 1960s line up of the band, with Peter Green. Green was regarded by many at the time as a rival to Eric Clapton for the title of Britain's best guitarist.
Guitars want Lindsey Buckingham for Christmas. Great assessment on a phenomenal guitarist. So cool to see guys react to a song that I've been listening to for literally decades.
Gold Dust Woman is one of those songs I'll play on repeat. Especially if I'm driving at night on a dark highway. It really warms my heart to see younger generations appreciating these songs. Great music you just don't get anymore. I recommend Tusk by Fleetwood Mac. It has that explosion you're looking for. Great song.
The “soundscapes” at the end was Lyndsey in a small bathroom. Lyndsey was a well planned out Producer. A full album review is needed and it all makes sense.
This song grows on you over multiple listens. The ending is a layering of hypnotic chaos. Lindsey’s guitars are angry, and angsty. Stevie belts out like a banshee.
I like the song, it's melodic, you can hear different instruments in it that fit perfectly, you can read a book and listen to this song, you can go in a car and listen to this song, but anywhere, from me 5+.
Every, EVERY song on Rumours is amazing...which is mind-boggling considering the amount of turmoil (and cocaine) the band was dealing with during the making of this album. "Songbird" is one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, and on this album, though I like everything they do. But "Songbird" really spotlights Christine McVie...so simple, so beautiful.
Also, having been lucky enough to see Fleetwood Mac live, I will tell you the best concert of theirs I ever went to had a 25 minute version of this as the first encore and then the entire band left the stage and it was just Christine sitting at the piano, and she ended the whole thing with songbird all by herself
One of my favorite songs Stevie sings from this album! She’s fantastic… and Lindsey is awesome on that guitar! Incredibly gifted group of people in that band. ❤One of my favs ever! RIP Christine 🙏🏻🕊💐
One of my 1st memories is my mom dropping me and my brother off at my Grandma's house so she could go to the Wild Hearts concert. I've seen Fleetwood Mac 3 times as an adult.
Love this song!!! Love Fleetwood Mac!!!! Love Love you guys Reactions!!!! And this song is the Ending or Closing song on "Rumours" You guys should do the whole album and see how the songs flow!!!
Studio albums Fleetwood Mac (1968, also known as Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac) Mr. Wonderful (1968) Then Play On (1969) Kiln House (1970) Future Games (1971) Bare Trees (1972) Penguin (1973) Mystery to Me (1973) Heroes Are Hard to Find (1974) Fleetwood Mac (1975, also known as "The White Album") Rumours (1977) Tusk (1979) Mirage (1982) Tango in the Night (1987) Behind the Mask (1990) Time (1995) Say You Will (2003)
It's the last song that closes the album. Layers of meanings. Cocaine, Gold digger chicks, throwing themselves at male band members, "rock on,Gold dust woman. Take your silver spoon,and dig your grave"? Back in the 70's they had little necklaces with little spoons on them, used to scoop up and snort coke off of.
Love your reaction to this, the entire album is quite simply a masterpiece! I was 15 when it came out, I still love it so much and I'm so lucky to have grown up in the 70's and 80's with the awesome music of that time.
'Rumours' is so iconic that like half of the album got radio play. Even the non-singles like "The Chain" became chart toppers in some countries. It's a masterpiece. Christine McVie recently passed, RIP. Her songs were some of the band's best.
You definitely need to do The Chain from this album. It's probably my favorite of their songs. It's also the only song credited to all members of the band.
"The Chain" is the Fleetwood Mac song that builds and has the mother of all pay offs! IMO it is the best track they ever composed/recorded. No one is going to object to you reacting to another Mac track.
Totally agree, The Chain is. The. Best. ;-)
Yes, it's my favorite one too. I loved they used it in the Guardians of the Galaxy 2, it keeps these songs alive for new generations.
I agree 100% that the Chain is Fire, It's my favorite song Next to Landslide!❤
Agree, it's my favorite. Especially the live 1982 version. Like Stevie and Lindsay are fighting vocally.. So damn good..
The Chain may be the definitive FM song. Each member contributed to the song in a way that the sum of the parts is so much greater than the whole.
There are no bad songs of Rumors, it's worth a full album listen!
Lindsey is a guitar players guitarist ..He can rip it up and be subtle as hell, and in this song his haunting phrases are killer..He can stand up to any guitarist
Since you mentioned Christine, you need to do one of her songs. "Songbird" is a masterpiece.
I saw Stevie Nicks show in Charlotte NC last October 🔥 It was pure fire even at age 74! She stills rocks it. When she did this song the place went crazy! Everyone was singing word for word all together with her ❤ It was pure magic 🎤

The live version of this is ten times this amazing, at the end Stevie goes ham. It is unbeatable.
Yes, saw them at Red Rocks in Colorado, amazing concert!
"Sisters of the Moon" by Fleetwood Mac. Live version. Mirage tour. It is on UA-cam.
One of my favorite verses ever:
*Well did she make you cry*
*Make you break down*
*Shatter your illusions of love*
*Is it over now*
*Do you know how*
*To pick up the pieces and go home*
The underappreciated John McVie on bass. We are not worthy.
The SUPER 70S! COUDNT BE TOUCHED EXCEPT MAYBE ANOTHER 70S BAND, THE EAGLES. OF COURSE Bob Seger would nee😊d to be mentioned. But so was Heart! And Alan Parsons and so manny other SUPER STARS OF THE INCREDIBLE, 70S.THATS WHY THEY WERE SUPER!😢
Lindsey is responsible for the mood in this song with the layered guitar and the howling at the end.
That’s Stevie howling at the end.
@@blemelin Nopes. :-)
Listen closely to the fade out. You’ll hear his voice.
Nope to you. There’s a live version from Madison Square Garden where she does the howl a couple of times. I think there’s a version from Philadelphia, as well. Also, Ken Caillat’s production notes from the studio confirm that it’s Stevie.
@@blemelin Live versions aren’t the recording. I hear Lindsey’s voice in the howl on the recording.
Lindsey is incredible with the guitar. If you wish to experience his talent, he did a solo concert where he played and sang the song “Big Love”. You will be amazed.
One of Christine's song I like very much is "You Make Loving Fun" - it's a cute, summery song with a nice warm beat. Give it a listen!
Christine sang two of the hits off of Rumours, “You Make Lovin’ Fun” and “Songbird”. Both are great tunes
Possibly my favorite Fleetwood Mac song.
This song live is a whole different animal. Definitely a must live.
I was 17 when this album first came out in '77...it was in everybody's collection, LP, for the bedroom, and cassette for the car...the whole album is great. Rock ON!
Same age! I owned it. Almost everyone I know did.
Actually 8 track for the car
You HAVE to hear "I'm so afraid". Make sure it's live in Boston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It'll tear you up!!!!!!!
i once was in Reno, Nevada at the Reno Hilton (now it's the Grand Sierra Resort), and they had an outdoor ampitheatre and from out hotel window we could see and hear Stevie Nicks rehearing this song.

In the chorus harmonies, you can hear all three voices distinctly. Nicks, Buckingham and McVie.
Foo Fighters did this song with Stevie Nicks. You want to talk fire….. OMG it takes the song to a whole new level
True. I listened to it all last week. Every song is excellent. Love 'world turnin'
Stevie built her career on our presumption of her as that dark mysterious white witch, which she says she's not, but she has played right into it.... black lace, her jewelry it's paints a mysterious picture

"The Chain"!!! Is a must !!!!!
Love Stevie Nicks.. this song was on her Bella Donna album, listened to it a lot while I was at sea in the Navy back in 1984 and 1985!!
The opening line tells you everything… Rock on Gold, dust woman take your silver spoon and dig your grave. It’s all about drug addiction, and it is such a spooky, eerie, trancelike mood created, and maybe that is to mirror the trance-like mood addicted people feel.

One of THE BEST "closers" of ANY album in rock history....
Lindsay Buckingham is one of the most under rated guitarists and Mick Fleetwood in one of the most under rated drummers of all time.
For me it's one of thier lower tier songs(gold dust woman).Early Fleerwood Mac did a song called "Hypnotized". Its ethereal.
Stevie Nicks on this one.
Christine Songs are Songbird, Lies, Say You Love Me, Don't Stop.
A classic. Given the layers of bullshit which were revealing themselves during the recording of this project, it's amazing that it was ever finished. Lucky for us.
You guys are right...Lindsey is an amazing and underated guitarist. You guys should check out the live version of this with Bob Welch.
Every layer of instrument is crystal clear and so very striking.
John McVie. One of the most underrated bassists ever!
Great reaction guys. You are my favorites. You guys actually have brains.
The howls at the end remind me of an earlier Mac song, Green Manalishi.
This album sold over 40 million copies. It's timeless. A masterpiece...
Thank you Christine for so much beautiful music. You touched so so many
The band was in the midst of a lot of drama and emotional turmoil during the recording of this album. The songs were basically about each other. Allegedly, Stevie wrote this song about her cocaine use.
The Chain is a next must listen. It’s in my top 3 Fleetwood Mac songs and there are dozens of great ones.
This is another one like "Rhiannon" where she really takes off with the last section on the live version. "Sisters of the Moon" is that song from the next album "Tusk", where she gets possessed at the end of the song when they do it live.

This is my favorite song from Fleetwood Mac.
I have loved this woman's voice since 1977 and that was listening on 8 track in my Pops 1976 Sedan DeVille. she's amazing 🥰
Stevie is my favorite female vocalist
That one hit hard with Christie M. I have listened to this song when it comes on the radio. Not my favorite of theirs, But it is good! It does sound like a spooky western song.

I always loved this song
Silver Springs (Live from The Dance -1997) is a great one to check out from the Mac. One of their best and most intense performances
I second "The Chain". Just mind-blowing.
I love that you compared the guitar to a voice ... excellent analogy!
Lindsey is totally under rated!
This song is a vibe. Definitely a journey ❤
Lindsey has an incredible style.
Me, smiling, LOVING 🥰 this song and remembering when I was 18 years old in the US Navy stationed in Norfolk, VA. God I miss this era of *great* classic hits.

amazing how clear the sound is on Rumors' songs
I love Lindsey and his solo work. I think he is underrated because his style and sound is so much different than the speed demons. He's also very talented doing the writing and mixing.
It's very 60s for a 77 song, with the sitar / dobro. It does fit in better within the context of the whole album
It's a very ethereal and expressive song. I love the way you guys give context to songs by adding information relating to songs. I haven't heard all of this album but I've heard so much about it. Fleetwood Mac are a phenomenal band and every song I've heard of theirs I've loved it.

Great 80s juke box music. Head to your favorite watering hole after work, drop anchor and chill to some Mac. So many good hits from that album.
This song live is pure 🔥
It's like a sound lasagna. SO much going on! One of my favorites.
Still one of the greatest selling albums of all time .....!! Pushing 50 years since it's release ............
Gold Dust Woman is one of those songs I'll play on repeat. Especially if I'm driving at night on a dark highway. It really warms my heart to see younger generations appreciating these songs. Great music you just don't get anymore. I recommend Tusk by Fleetwood Mac. It has that explosion you're looking for. Great song.
Yes this is one of those songs the more you listen to it the more you like it…it’ll grow on you for sure!
Great choice! Fleetwood Mac is excellent in concert and was on fire in the 70's. They'll always be tops. The Rumors album is fire!
The “soundscapes” at the end was Lyndsey in a small bathroom.
Lyndsey was a well planned out Producer. A full album review is needed and it all makes sense.
One of the greatest rock songs from one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
This song grows on you over multiple listens. The ending is a layering of hypnotic chaos. Lindsey’s guitars are angry, and angsty. Stevie belts out like a banshee.
I like the song, it's melodic, you can hear different instruments in it that fit perfectly, you can read a book and listen to this song, you can go in a car and listen to this song, but anywhere, from me 5+.
Guys, researching Mac and the going ons during the making of Rumours is a must. It will all ties together.
He is in my top five guitarist, Amen
you need to do "Songbird" to really honor Christine McVie.
Every, EVERY song on Rumours is amazing...which is mind-boggling considering the amount of turmoil (and cocaine) the band was dealing with during the making of this album. "Songbird" is one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, and on this album, though I like everything they do. But "Songbird" really spotlights Christine McVie...so simple, so beautiful.
U need to review Hypnotized since you like dreamy quality songs. One of my favorites of Fleetwood Mac.
my fave from them!
OMG One of my favorites! ❤️💯
Classic Stevie tune that has a depressingly realistic look at drug troubles .
Why do you see a drug song?
@@sandylee6025”Gold dust woman, take your silver spoon and dig your grave” referring to cocaine addiction.
@Danelle Covey sorry... thought I was still on The Chain.
Also, having been lucky enough to see Fleetwood Mac live, I will tell you the best concert of theirs I ever went to had a 25 minute version of this as the first encore and then the entire band left the stage and it was just Christine sitting at the piano, and she ended the whole thing with songbird all by herself
Haunting sound. I still love Stevie.
Love this song. Thanks for reacting to it.
I’ve always loved this song… so spooky
One of my favorite songs Stevie sings from this album! She’s fantastic… and Lindsey is awesome on that guitar! Incredibly gifted group of people in that band. ❤One of my favs ever! RIP Christine 🙏🏻🕊💐
I saw Stevie on her Wild Heart tour in 83. She was so awesome!
I did as well ♥️ Knoxville TN
One of my 1st memories is my mom dropping me and my brother off at my Grandma's house so she could go to the Wild Hearts concert. I've seen Fleetwood Mac 3 times as an adult.

Yes! Every song in this album is a hit!
It's the last song that closes the album. Layers of meanings. Cocaine, Gold digger chicks, throwing themselves at male band members, "rock on,Gold dust woman. Take your silver spoon,and dig your grave"? Back in the 70's they had little necklaces with little spoons on them, used to scoop up and snort coke off of.
