RIP Christine McVie. She was a great musician and songwriter.
Stevie is mesmerizing, but I’ve always thought that Christine didn’t get enough praise for her own amazing performances. Just before this, on the same show, they did “Over My Head,” with Christine’s lovely, soothing voice in the lead. Both amazing talents.
Stevie discovered the Rhiannon character in the early 1970s through a novel called Triad by Mary Leader. The novel is about a woman named Branwen who is possessed by a witch named Rhiannon.
Did you see her American Horror Story appearance.
Was fun .❤
She plays the White Witch leader of them all❤
I was under the vague impression for years she got the name at least from Evangeline Walton's The Song Of Rhiannon, which is part of a four novel retelling of Welsh legends. However she didn't know about those until after the song was released. She bought the film rights to the entire series
You could dress in whatever and be Beautiful
Maybe some drugs too???😅
Rhiannon is rightfully considered one of Fleetwood Mac's classics. I love Stevie's songwriting, the combination of beauty and
haunting tones in the song, combined with how tight the band sounds. The guitar playing is perfect for this song. And yes Bright
Angel - you could pull off that flowing style.
She definitely is a classic!
Hands down the BEST live version of this song. It was Stevie Nicks first appearance with the group on a televised show (Lindsay Buckingham as well) and is absolutely FIRE! Stevie Nicks reveals her rock goddess credentials. Other live versions are more toned down, Stevie Nicks singing "Rhiannon" more as a ballad. All are great, of course because it's Fleetwood Mac.
Also, Rhiannon is based on a legend of a Welsh witch. Stevie Nicks was and still is a lover of the mystical.
This is the 70s at its best. Thanks for playing it.
This performance was on TV in the 70s on the Midnight Special.... Every Saturday night - live music, incredible.
Yes!!!
Maddie just melting away in the flow of the song. Nice to watch. ;-)
Thank you!!! 🩷🩷🩷
FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! No Auto tune and Stevie wrote this fantastic song in about 30 minutes. I'm listening to music over 60 yrs this was one of the greatest performances ever Im a big fan of her. Kudos to all the bandmembers. She was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame twice. Once by herself the other with Mac. You chose the correct video to react to. It's the best!
Magical music from Fleetwood Mac 😊. Excellent live version ! Great harmony vocals. 👍
Pretty bad harmonies on this as far as great harmonies are concerned tho
Fleetwood Mac was amazing
Hi Maddy, this is such a great performance by Stevie. Like Linda Ronstadt, a gorgeous, talented woman from the 70s.
Stevie had come across the name Rhiannon in a novel titled "Triad". In the story, a woman is possessed by a witch named Rhiannon.
Rhiannon was a mythological Welsh goddess.
Wow didn’t know that!
Fleetwood Mac are a great band, elevated to a higher level by the force of nature that is Stevie Nicks. I was born 15 years after their peak but damn if that woman isn't captivating. Such a talent.
I saw them live in 86, they are better live than in studio, one of the few bands that can recreate and surpass their studio song versions.
They are also a deep dive of classic hits!
All Fleetwood Mac's songs will be on your playlist 😊 This is a complicated band. It was 2 bands merge the guitar player and singer where a band called Buckingham nicks they where also a couple. They joined Mick Fleetwood the very tall drummers band. Stevie nicks and Lindsey Buckingham where breaking up as they started up the charts. Alot of there songs was about them breaking up yet still in one of the biggest bands in the 70s.😮❤❤
Finally some stevie! This song is fire,like many of her and Fleetwood Macs songs.Checkout 17 by her.🔥🔥🔥
Such a great song, and so fun watching you react to it! Keep on flowing! :-)
Thanks so much!!
You just can’t go wrong with this band ❤❤❤❤.
So great!! They were all so young then.
One of the greatest performances of anyone anywhere.
Yes please 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The song was written after Stevie Nicks was reading a book called Triad by Mary Leader 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I’ll have to take a look around for the book!
R.I.P. Christine McVie....Lovely woman.
I have a playlist that I call backyards and tool sheds because it was the soundtrack that I heard coming from passing cars, open windows, neighbors while I was playing make believe in backyards and tool sheds and Rhiannon was prominent. Yep, Stevie Nix liked her witches and gypsies. Lindsey freakin Buckingham!!! The Midnight Special and Wolfman Jack, every weekend, were so good.
Growing up I had always liked Fleetwood, but that was it, but I managed to see this version of this song and I instantly loved the energy and revisited the band's music, love the band now.
You keep on hitting those home runs. Keep on going.
Stevie & Lindsay in God mode right here.
Deeply stoned, And truly Magnificent.
An intense performance by one of the great bands of the rock era!
Stevie was crazy wild enough to make a subject about a Welch Witch ..
True story about the witch. Stevie wrote this fantastic song in about 20 minutes. This was one of the greatest performances in my 60 yrs of listening to music. Stevie is one of the greatest singers ever. Inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame twice once with Mac other by herself. You chose the correct video it's the best on the Midnight Special. Kudos to the entire band masterful performance
Oooh
ahhhfff ...Id go back there to then any day... miss the people and the way we were
Stevie is such an amazing performer, the first woman ever to be inducted twice into the rock&roll hall of fame and gorgeous with it. Check-out their album Rumours, the 9th highest selling album of all time with over 40 million copies sold, 4 tracks in the US top-10, 'Dreams' reached No.1.
Stevie Nicks is such a unique talent. Yes she has that unique voice with the rich texture, but also an incredible song writer. I hope to see you react to her incredible song If Anyone Falls. Great reaction Maddy. 😉👍
Thank you!! 🩷
Stevie Nicks...You dont know her? Oh, man...are you in for a treat! Shes still touring today. The Queen of Rock and Roll!
Love, love, love !!
Perfect commentary. Elequent. Great reaction. I was 10 when the White Album hit. I saw this performance at 11 on TV and was blown away. I still love their music. Great band.
Only Fleetwood Mac led zeppelin and Pink Floyd takes u to another world This song is a masterpiece from Fleetwood Mac and a iconic performance In the top 15 bands of all time
every week we got "THE MIDNITE SPECIAL" on TV and what a zone vintage stevie nicks!!!!
Stevie was possessed by Rhiannon.Fleetwood Mac-“Silver Springs “live The Dance
Most of the Fleetwood Mac members practiced magic and considered themselves witches. But yes, this is about Rhiannon from English(Welsh I think) myth. A classic tale about magic, love and tragedy. Fleetwood Mac were basically a bunch of nerds lol and wouldn't be half as amazing if they weren't🤘🏼
The Welsh are very much NOT English... they're British (Britons) - - there's a difference. You might as well call a Scots "English".
Strong, confident, talented and still very feminine. That's and A+ woman !
Stevie was always my favorite witchy woman!
Nicks started writing this song after reading the book Triad by Mary Leader. It is about a woman who believes she is being possessed by the spirit of a woman named Rhiannon. There are themes of mythology and the occult that Nicks used in her song along with the name.
I don't know where this was, but I did see this show. In San Francisco. ❤✌️
Many songs of this era have are based on history.
Every guy between the ages of 15-50 had a huge crush on Stevie in the mid-late 70’s 😎
Absolutely. I dare anyone to deny it!
Magic!!
This is the introduction of Stevie Nicks to the world. She is the rock goddess. She wrote this song and many other classics including Dreams, Gypsy, Sara, Gold Dust Woman, Landslide, Stand Back, Edge of Seventeen, Leather and Lace to name a few. The studio version of this song is a bit more laid back than this rock edged live performance.
She definitely is great
Stevie will always be the Gypsy Queen. Amazing the magical music they managed to create in that situation.
I agree it’s good!
Stevie Nicks is my favorite female vocalist also a great song writer
Amazing performance 👍
Rhiannon is a major figure in Welsh mythology, appearing in the First Branch of the Mabinogi, and again in the Third Branch. Ronald Hutton called her "one of the great female personalities in World literature", adding that "there is in fact, nobody quite like her in previous human literature".[1] In the Mabinogi, Rhiannon is a strong-minded Otherworld woman, who chooses Pwyll, prince of Dyfed (west Wales), as her consort, in preference to another man to whom she has already been betrothed. She is intelligent, politically strategic, beautiful, and famed for her wealth and generosity. With Pwyll she has a son, the hero Pryderi, who later inherits the lordship of Dyfed. She endures tragedy when her newborn child is abducted, and she is accused of infanticide. As a widow she marries Manawydan of the British royal family, and has further adventures involving enchantments.
Like some other figures of British/Welsh literary tradition, Rhiannon may be a reflection of an earlier Celtic deity. Her name appears to derive from the reconstructed Brittonic form *Rīgantonā, a derivative of *rīgan- "queen". In the First Branch of the Mabinogi, Rhiannon is strongly associated with horses, and so is her son Pryderi. She is often considered to be related to the Gaulish horse goddess Epona. She and her son are often depicted as mare and foal. Like Epona, she sometimes sits on her horse in a calm, stoic way. This connection with Epona is generally accepted among scholars of the Mabinogi and Celtic studies, but Ronald Hutton, a historian of paganism, is skeptical.
It’s so great when you hear a singer just riding with it like that
Masterpiece
I grew up listening to the song, and I never heard this live version.
This is *the* version for me now.
Back in those days and I actually saw this on TV in 76 when it aired....Stevie Knicks was Janis Joplin reincarnated ......while still to this day she is still an amazing singer her versions of this and other songs are like stuff you hear in an elevator or dentist office waiting room

You're gonna adore this masterpiece too
Keep the good work Sunshine 🌞
✌️👏👍🏻
You are best ❤
Stevie Nicks one of the true Queens of Rock and Roll! She is Mesmerizing!
Rhiannon is a significant figure in Welsh mythology.
A fascinating history this group possesses! From the early days as “Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac “, through the intermediate years with Jeremy Spencer taking the main lead, the arrival of Christine McVie (nee Perfect!), and the departure of Spencer and Kirwan to be replaced by Buckingham and Nicks, they have contributed so much to popular music, from out and out blues through to the MoR style of later years. A real rabbit hole!!!
Would love you to react to Journey Mother Father live in Houston! My favorite male vocalist
I think Stevie read the name Rhiannon in a novel and invented the rest of the story.
Stevie is like a woman possessed in this performance ❤
Fun fact about this song... Stevie wrote it in 10 mins! She's a GODDESS and THE WHITE WITCH of this lifetime!
Dream performance
I almost forgotten how sexy this song is, it’s just a masterpiece. It really has that October Halloween Gothic vibe
Stevie Nicks a beautiful Lady with a totally unique voice
You're watching the best female live vocal ever!!
Her solo work , song Edge of Seventeen is a great song too😊! Among many others.
Excellent song, and you are gorgeous ❤❤❤
The song is amazing!! And thank you
She recorded a couple different versions of this song on one she has a closing line ,and he still cries out for her ,don't leave me, don't leave me now
No joke. Stevie writes what she knows.
There’s old Manor House in wales. That was turned into recording studios. Were some bands have recorded there albums. With is supposed to be haunted. Kreeped the bands out who stayed there.
We need "MORE COWBELL" baby🐄 check out Go Your Own Way by them.
Dreams do unwind, and love really is a state of mind. :)
And by all the Gods and Goddesses the tension in this band made their music all the more better...impactful, emotional. :)
I actually met Stevie in the mid 80’s at the airport in Phoenix Arizona. I was flying from there to the small airport near Topanga Canyon, CA. She and 4 of her backup singers were in line, right in front of me, as we waited to board our plane. All I could do was stare, open mouthed at her. It’s an embarrassing (for me) story that I’ve never told before. 😊
USA/Tennessee: I like the radio version of this song. Got the album.
No one does that sexy turn like Stevie.
What a fantastic iconic band....what happened to music! I heard two songs yesterday that had no instruments, and the Voice was manipulated by auto tune electronics! It’s up to you kids to rescue music! It’s a book she read. She told you that!😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So true!!! That’s why promotion of classics is very important. I do believe the more of what you put out into the world will return in one way or another.
Robert wade you are a man of impeccable taste
The song GYPSY is the Epitome of Stevie Nicks...💓
There was sooooooo much sub-context to many of their songs. There was so much infighting, affairs amongst members of the group. Hollywood plots weren't as good as their drama. Stevie was and is a cat. Mysterious, loving, independent, needing affection, but quick to let you know when she had had enough with a flick of her claws. She is extremely talented but has insecurities like the rest of us, just trying to get validation, sometimes in not the healthiest way.
Rhiannon is a character in Welsh myth. It's a compilation of stories called "the Mabinogion"
A mythological queen. thought to be possessed by the sprite of Rhiannon
Rhiannon, is the Welsh goddess of horses, forgiveness, rebirth, the moon, and fertility. Nicks would later recall how she was mistaken about her.
It's Weich folklore. Stevie's publishing company is called welch witch music
Welsh witch music
Rhiannon is best known from a collection of British myths, legends, and folklore known as The Mabinogion (which is also one of many sources for Arthur), but the stories were in oral tradition centuries before being written down, first in Welsh, then translated. The character is a witch of sorts, but there are a lot of symbolic clues that she was in pre-Christian times, a goddess. A lot of fantasy and historical fiction has been inspired by The Mabinogion and evidently that's where Stevie first heard the name, though she did her homework and read The Mabinogion, later, after writing the song.
"On The Edge Of Seventeen" is another of their tunes you might react to.
Mental.
And to think that Lindsey had to talk Mick Fleetwood into taking Stevie into the group when he was offered a spot w/them. Seriously doubt he ever regretted taking the "package deal" !
She was the queen of the other world and the queen of forgiveness
I had the biggest crush on Stevie back in the seventies.
Hey Maddie Mick Fleetwood (the drummer) Has said watching Stevie perform Rhianna Live is like watching a exorcism.
They played at the Capitol in Passaic New Jersey
Check out Christine McVie's song "Song Bird"
Lyrics, voice..can not beat 60's early 70's
Fleetwood Mac was the real deal. 🙂
They really are🩷
One of the most surprising things is that Stevie Nicks was NOT asked to be in the band. At the time, Mick Fleetwood, the drummer, was looking for a male lead singer/lead guitarist/songwriter. Bob Welch the previous lead man who did all that, had left the band to go solo. Mick heard Lindsey Buckingham, from Lindsey and Stevie's album, Buckingham Nicks. Mick found out the Lindsey was a singer, guitarist, and songwriter who could fill the void of that Welch left. He offered Lindsey a spot in the band. Lindsey, who was in a romantic relationship as well as a musical one, told Mick they were a package deal. Mick who already had a female singer, who could play keyboards, and was a songwriter as well, told Lindsey, I don't want or need another female vocalist. Lindsey stuck to his guns, and Mick, who wanted the talent of Lindsey so bad, he agreed to the "dead weight" of the deal. Mick later stated, "How was I to know that this 5 foot nothing little girl, would a write a song called 'Rhiannon" that would put us into superstardom" .
That's a great version they were at the top of their game there
The old live versions are a little course for my ears, but the Dance tour they did was spectacular. They evolved in all aspects. They also managed to fix their harmonizing imbalances.
