In the live version of this song from 76, instead of fading out at the end like that, they carry it out and Stevie just goes nuts on it. It's really something to see. You guys should check that one out. They used to play that concert back in the day on PBS during their donation shows so I've seen it probably a dozen or more times and it never gets old.
Stevie is the first woman to be inducted into the RRHOF twice. She wrote the lyrics to Rhainnon in 10 minutes. If she isn't in your top 3 female vocalist of all time - we gotta talk 😂
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee cmon…there’s no way you can name 99 female singers let alone 99 better ones. You gonna say some BS like Linda Perry from 4 non blondes???
Che is right on the money--you are onto some classic, awesome music. Rhiannon is from 75's Fleetwood Mac, the first with Buckingham and Nicks. It and 77's Rumors are the pinnacle of the Buckingham-Nicks era, and peak of Mac's commercial success. Along with fantastic music, the band was known for its relationship drama: Christine and John McVie and Nicks and Buckingham were in relationships that ended during the band. All the members are fantastic, and McVie on bass and Fleetwood on drums (Fleetwood Mac) were their rock-solid musical foundation. Rhianna shows that off well--ballsy and precise. Excelsior!
I've heard that Christine McVie was the Fleetwood Mac member who was super gifted at coming up with hooks. Also, a little like the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac is an example of how beautiful music can be created by people who hate each other.
Great comment on the Rock and Country sound,I was feeling that too tonight . I grew up listening to this as a preteen. Boy I loved them girls in the band and the music was cool 🌞
La and Che thanks for another great start to a Saturday. Fleetwood Mac did a complete change to thier style of music. Early stuff was hard and bluesy. And later was easy and soulful. Both were amazing 👏. Thanks fellas for a great reaction! Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
Saw them in Erie, just after Nicks and Buckingham joined the band, during a rare October lake effect snowstorm. Stevie started it off saying "well, we've got no place we can go, so lets party" They were amazing. A foot of fresh snow on the car when we left. Can't be forgotten.
The "ladies" -- singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks and singer/songwriter/keys Christine McVie -- joined at different times. Stevie and her bf guitarist Lindsey Buckingham joined together in '75, for Act III of FM. Christine was in the band since 1970, married to bassist John McVie.
I strongly recommend checking out their Midnight Special live performance. You really get to see what Stevie can do, not to mention everyone else in the band.
We took all this fabulous music for granted in the 70s. It narrated our lives because we listened to the radio all the time, everywhere we went. Fleetwood Mac Rumors is a classic that played on repeat for months. Awesome choice.
Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac are one of my all-time favorite singers and groups! And this song is one of my favorites!... Would love to see you react to the live version of this song from the Midnight Special. Thank you!
Written by Stevie. This is the song Stevie auditioned with and it got Mick Fleetwood to agree to take Stevie and Lyndsey as a pair. Pay attention to the writer of the songs and know, Stevie was a Poet first. Live from Midnight Special is a Must see!
There was no audition. Mick heard their Buckingham Nicks album when looking for a new studio. He only wanted and needed a new lead guitarist because Bob Welsh quit. He asked Lindsey to join his band off the song Frozen Love. Lindsey told Mick he wouldn't join without his girlfriend/partner. Mick wanted Lindsey enough he said yes if Christine agreed to another woman in the band.
This is the song the cemented them as pop/rock icons. Kinda like the Eagles and Hotel California. Al Stewart and Year Of The Cat (hint-hint). Blue Oyster Cult and Don't Fear The Reaper (more hint-hint). I know. Subtle as a slap in the face! But you're going to love Stevie Nicks on Gold Dust Woman and please, please do their live version of Silver Springs from The Dance concert dvd. It's as famous for it's visual inter-action between Stevie and Lyndsey as it is for the quality of the performance, which, btw, is the way a song should be performed live. Simply perfect.
Rhiannon is considered one of Fleetwood Mac's classics; I love the combination of the harmonious beauty and haunting tones in this song and how tight/smooth the band sounds. It's a vibe every time you listen to it. Airplay Beats keeps on rocking - Thanks for your hard work.
That FWM iconic sound that grabs you and refuses to let go. Thier Rumors album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide. Great reaction as usual guys, TY.
Within the first bar, Lindsey sets the tone for one of the most uniquely haunting songs ever put to tape. The first song I heard by them, and still one of the best imo.
Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, a couple came to Fleetwood Mac together. With both of their voices and Lindsay's great Guitar work, it changed this Band forever......Great review, thanks,,,
Cannot believe this Fleetwood Mac one of my all time favorites and this song is one of my favs too They have so many good ones And Lindsey Buckingham is so underrated for his guitar work
@@rockandrollpaddy I kind of get it. Ask any casual music fan who are the best guitarists. You'll get Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Beck, Eddie, etc. Not too many Buckinghams I'll bet.
More Stevie please 🙏🏽 She and Don Henley performed “Leather and Lace” when she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 2019 🔥
Absolutely a great song i believe the greatest thing about this version of Fleetwood Mac is the 3 lead singers they could throw at you. Stevie Nicks Christine McVie and Lindsay Buckingham. Saw them about 10yrs ago with my daughter and they were still killing it! RIP Christine the Rumors album is no doubt the album you were thinking of. I believe its one of the best selling albums ever.
This album was played to death back in the day! After many years of not hearing it, I forgot how good it was! A great album of the 70’s….what a time to be alive! Excellent reaction, as always…keep going!
I love the propulsion the drums give this song...makes me think of "Station Man" by a mid-era incarnation of the band when Danny Kirwan was with them...
This live version from The Midnight Special 1976 is one of those things in life that you must see. Stevie is something special and she shows it here. Even if it's on your own time, my brothers, trust me. ✌🏼 ua-cam.com/video/goKM7jsOwrg/v-deo.html
The song is about a witch. From this point on Stevie Nicks would often be accused of being a witch herself and she would play into the rumour on stage by wearing long flowing black gowns with mystical beads hanging from her microphone stand. This would be the look and vibe she adopted for the duration of Fleetwood Mac. Somehow it seemed to fit the overall tone of the band. The live version of this from "The Dance" concert 1997 will blow you away.
Hey guys, as you continue to dive into Fleetwood Mac's 50 plus year catalog, I hope it will become apparent to you that Peter Green knew what he had when he lured Mick Fleetwood and John McVie (Fleetwood Mac) from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. For my money the best rhythm section in rock. Mick, not flashy like Ginger Baker or Keith Moon, but the best timekeeper on the planet. Whil John McVie has provided some of the most iconic bass lines ever. Blues, Rock, Pop/Rock, or ballads. Give them their props. They held that band together for 50 flipping years!
Live from The Old Grey Whistle 1976 is the best to me. Stevie absolutely brings this home. Still in love. Dreams unwind , loves a state of mind. Beautiful and mysterious woman. Captivating.
Now you can dive into the live version of this where Stevie goes all in on her vocals. The band was reluctant to add Stevie. This hit #11. Mick and John were glad Christine (RIP) hit it off with her and welcomed her to the band. A song about a Welsh witch.
I love music so it's hard to choose a favorite group, but they are my all-time favorite. Just the best of musicians all coming together to create these timeless masterpieces! Stevie is a rock queen, no doubt - so many hits. Then you have the keyboard/piano player Christie McVie who passed away a few months ago. Her smooth, calming vocals really add to each song and she has her own songs as well, "You Make Loving Fun" "Don't Stop thinking About Tomorrow" that she sings with lead guitar, Lindsey Buckingham, "Everywhere" and more. And please check out the live version of this "Rhiannon" where Stevie goes off at the end of it - as others have mentioned below too. It's one of my favorite live performances.
The ultimate Stevie Nicks Billy goat voice is her solo song "Stand Back".. if you like that kinda thing 😏 It came out in 1983, when I was 8, so I knew about her before I knew of Fleetwood Mac.
Thank y'all for your reactions. You Guys briefly mentioned the material that y'all have covered by Fleetwood Mac that's from the post Bob Welch era. I immediately thought of a song that I've been wanting you Guys to react to, it's titled "Hypnotized," released in 1973, a year prior to Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joining the band. It's an exceptional song. Thank you again for the joyful entertainment that I relish.
I second it on 'Hypnotized." The production is lush but not excessive. Real ear candy without being overly sweet. Instead, it's a mysterious musing on ... well, just listen.
Oh, you've got so much joy coming your way, guys. And you hit it right on the nose, Stevie is like country over rock. Her grandfather was a country musician and had her by his side as a toddler, and a lot of her solo music has a country edge to it. She's just magic.
Christine McVie was with Fleetwood Mac from day one , They lost a couple band members came over to the United States looking to fill one spot and they stumbled upon Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks and they offered Lindsey a spot in the band and he said I'll only come aboard if Stevie comes along with me , Basically we're a package deal take us both or nothing ! And the rest is History !
When my friends and I talk about music, the question usually comes up, "If you could only listen to one album for eternity, what would it be?" My reply every single time and will always be the "Rumuors" album! Smooth jamming baby!
You keep saying when the ladies joined the band. Fleetwood Mac formed in 1967. Christine McVie was a session musician with Fleetwood Mac in 1968 and her boyfriend/husband was already in the band. She formally joined the band in 1970. After some members left, Stevie Nicks & Lindsay Buckingham joined in 1974, which really changed the sound of the band to more of a rock sound with blues elements.
No other voice like Stevie Nicks you guys have got to check out her solo stuff away from Mac she is a legend and even today at 75 she can still belt them out Stevie is my wife's favorite female singer and I love her as well. Her duets with Tom Petty and Don Henley are great songs
As others have said, the The Midnight Special 1976 live version of this is amazing, and you will absolutely fall in love with Stevie Nicks, and she goes totally crazy at the end.
Stevie and Lindsey were living in LA trying to get off the ground , Stevie was cleaning celebrities houses so they could stay afloat , Not to mention her parents were financially supporting them as well , They told her you've got 1 year to make it in the music biz or it's time to come back home and go back to college ! About 2 months later she / they were in Fleetwood Mac ! And the rest is History !
Stevie's house cleaning stories get more and more elaborate - but to be fair she started it. She cleaned their producers house Keith Olsen for less than a week. She was so bad at it he fired her and figured it was cheaper to have them move in. That was the beginning & end of her life as a cleaning lady. Poor little rich girl was so traumatized about it though she's not only never let it go but expanded it into some years long drudgery.🤣
This seems very appropriate since you are wearing an Alabama Crimson Tide shirt in this video. Prior to joining Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were a couple and a duo called "Buckingham Nicks" (also the name of their sole album released in 1973). The album went nowhere and received no airplay... except in the Birmingham/Tuscaloosa market. They opened for a few bands which took them through Birmingham where someone from a Birmingham radio station took note and added the album to their rotation. They spent most of 1974 working side jobs to pay the bills and could find anywhere to play in southern California. Then came the offer and acceptance to join Fleetwood Mac followed by a concert promoter telling them that their album had been in heavy rotation and asking them to play 3 shows in Alabama. They couldn't find a gig to play in LA and when they landed in Birmingham found out they had sold out an auditorium of 6,000. The first recordings of Rhiannon are from those shows in Alabama, there's a UA-cam video that compiles all 3 versions and the audio of those complete shows are on UA-cam. You mentioned hearing a little country with Stevie, she wrote a song when they were Buckingham Nicks titled "Designs of Love" which would be recorded and released on Fleetwood Mac's 1982 album Mirage with the title "That's Alright", it is absolutely a country song. You might want to check it out, it's a hidden gem in the Fleetwood Mac catalog that most don't know about. Also, realize that Mick Fleetwood is one of the luckiest men alive. He went to find a studio to record their next album at and the studio manager played "Frozen Love" from the Buckingham Nicks album. Fleetwood started to focus on the playing instead of the recording and asked Buckingham to join after their guitarist quit. Buckingham told him it was a package deal and he wasn't joining without Stevie. Luckily Stevie hit it off with the other band members (you know they feared it was going to be some Yoko Ono situation). Fast forward 4-5 years, they have their first #1 album, follow it up with arguably the greatest album of all time that sold over 40 million copies and Fleetwood, who looked like a coked-up Frankenstein monster, was banging 20-something Stevie Nicks. If you made it all the way through this, I would also recommend you check out the very underrated Irish band Thin Lizzy. You know them from The Boys are Back in Town but they have much better songs. I would recommend "The Cowboy Song" and if you want something with some Irish flair "Black Rose: A Rock Legend".
Just that sleek opening, then Stevie comes in with her songstress story telling... I wasn't a huge fan in the day, but this rendition of Fleetwood Mac is an all-star lineup, Christine McVie such a fantastic vocalist herself knowing how to blend the keys and her backing vocals just in time in perfect harmony. Lindsay Buckingham a true top talent is his own right, staying in the backdrop allowing the ladies to lead.
"this is a song...about an Old Welsh Witch." I never knew that though. Just liked the pretty song. This song, to me, really features John McVie on bass. There are times when that bass player, John McVie taps into something. That's why the drummer connected with him.
The Rumors album is one that is worth listening to,not a bad song on it. Saw them not that long before the pandemic hit and they played everything l wanted to hear except for "Oh Well", which is one of my favorites from them, still it was a great concert👍🏻🥰🎵
Stevie is amazing on her own as well Edge of seventeen and Stand back are good ones And she also does a duet with Don Henley called Leather and lace which is nice
In the live version of this song from 76, instead of fading out at the end like that, they carry it out and Stevie just goes nuts on it. It's really something to see. You guys should check that one out. They used to play that concert back in the day on PBS during their donation shows so I've seen it probably a dozen or more times and it never gets old.
Came here to say that same thing. Goes nuts on it is an understatement. It's a must see for sure!
I hears that she was ruining her voice with that version, so she stopped ending the song like that. But is WAS awesome!
I think the version referred to is from the Midnight Special
I 2nd that ✋🏼
I agree, it's a must see!
Stevie is the first woman to be inducted into the RRHOF twice. She wrote the lyrics to Rhainnon in 10 minutes. If she isn't in your top 3 female vocalist of all time - we gotta talk 😂
Not top 3- Top 1. First.
I’m good with Wilson or Nicks as 1,2 or 2,1. Tomato tamoto
I thought that too, until I saw and heard Floor Jansen. But yes Stevie is top 3. Top ten would be an interesting list to compile.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee cmon…there’s no way you can name 99 female singers let alone 99 better ones. You gonna say some BS like Linda Perry from 4 non blondes???
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Don't know that Françoise Hardy is a better vocalist than Stevie Nicks, but a great chanteuse she is.
"Rhainnon" Midnight Special 1976
It's worth a second reaction
Stevie will blow you away 🔥
She’s in the rock and roll hall of fame twice, once for Fleetwood Mac and for Her solo career!
Che is right on the money--you are onto some classic, awesome music. Rhiannon is from 75's Fleetwood Mac, the first with Buckingham and Nicks.

Excelsior!
I love Stevie.... But don't overlook Christine McVie. She wrote and sang some of their biggest hits.
I love her stuff. Songbird has to be one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful songs that I've ever heard.
Underappreciated: "Heroes Are Hard to Find" ( the album before Lindsay and Stevie joined)
@@stevedahlberg8680yesss.
This is how you write hit songs. It seems like a lost art.
The thing about this album standing out as such a classic, is the absolute avalanche of amazing music that was coming out at the same time.
This was actually the album before Rumors, which I was referring too, God you couldn’t keep up with the great stuff coming out back then.
I've heard that Christine McVie was the Fleetwood Mac member who was super gifted at coming up with hooks. Also, a little like the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac is an example of how beautiful music can be created by people who hate each other.
Great comment on the Rock and Country sound,I was feeling that too tonight . I grew up listening to this as a preteen. Boy I loved them girls in the band and the music was cool 🌞

Saw them in Erie, just after Nicks and Buckingham joined the band, during a rare October lake effect snowstorm. Stevie started it off saying "well, we've got no place we can go, so lets party" They were amazing. A foot of fresh snow on the car when we left. Can't be forgotten.
Extremely versatile band. Dig deep
The brilliant Fleetwood Mac.
Love it. So many great Classic Songs.
🎶❤️🎶
Look up prolific in the dictionary and her picture is there.
She's written so so many songs.
"CRYSTAL" is a dream of a song.
Stevie is just magical!
Roll Tide!!

Perfectionist Mic Fleetwood demanded perfection !

Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
More Fleetwood Mac for sure 🙏
Christine mcvie also had smooth voice,great when the 2 harmonize
The live performance of this on Saturday Night Special is so good - you should watch for sure because you get to really see who Stevie Nicks truly is.
Written by Stevie. This is the song Stevie auditioned with and it got Mick Fleetwood to agree to take Stevie and Lyndsey as a pair. Pay attention to the writer of the songs and know, Stevie was a Poet first.
Live from Midnight Special is a Must see!
There was no audition. Mick heard their Buckingham Nicks album when looking for a new studio. He only wanted and needed a new lead guitarist because Bob Welsh quit.

John McVie’s bass line is killer!!
Live version from midnight special is great.
This is the song the cemented them as pop/rock icons. Kinda like the Eagles and Hotel California. Al Stewart and Year Of The Cat (hint-hint). Blue Oyster Cult and Don't Fear The Reaper (more hint-hint). I know. Subtle as a slap in the face! But you're going to love Stevie Nicks on Gold Dust Woman and please, please do their live version of Silver Springs from The Dance concert dvd. It's as famous for it's visual inter-action between Stevie and Lyndsey as it is for the quality of the performance, which, btw, is the way a song should be performed live. Simply perfect.

You guys react with great insights and intuition. Best music reactions out there for me. Keep it up. You guys are cool as shit.
The live midnight special is insane.
She puts a spell on you💖💖💖
You guys are in for a RIDE!
“She’s like a cat in the dark yet she is the darkness”
Gold Dust Woman is another great song for showcasing Stevie's voice !
That FWM iconic sound that grabs you and refuses to let go. Thier Rumors album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide. Great reaction as usual guys, TY.
Fleetwood makes classic songs out of 2-3 chords. Amazing.
I read somewhere that Lindsey customized the guitar riffs for Stevie Nicks' voice.
When I was a teenager in the 70s, this ruled the airwaves.
Check out the live version from Midnight Special 1976. The arrival of Fleetwood Mac. The rest is history.
Within the first bar, Lindsey sets the tone for one of the most uniquely haunting songs ever put to tape. The first song I heard by them, and still one of the best imo.
A very important fact with Fleetwood Mac and many great Artists/Groups…Always stayed relevant as the decades went by.
The first two minutes of thus song are special special. The whole song is but that opening hits you like a cat in the night.
Thank you for this Stevie is my favorite female vocalist and a fenomanial song writer
Stevie is rock royalty. And that’s that
The live version of this is nutso in a great way🤩
Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, a couple came to Fleetwood Mac together. With both of their voices and Lindsay's great Guitar work, it changed this Band forever......Great review, thanks,,,
I love that bass line, the drums and the sublte electric piano by Christine McVie
Stevie was my first celebrity crush as an 8=9 year old kid. Her voice, presence and beauty captivated me. 6:28
Cannot believe this Fleetwood Mac one of my all time favorites and this song is one of my favs too
They have so many good ones
And Lindsey Buckingham is so underrated for his guitar work
Underrated by who? He's not. Nonsense.
@@rockandrollpaddy I kind of get it. Ask any casual music fan who are the best guitarists. You'll get Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Beck, Eddie, etc. Not too many Buckinghams I'll bet.

My fav FM song, so glad you picked up on John McVie and his bass. ❤
They actually added Stevie Nick's and Lindsey Buckingham. Christine McVie joined years earlier.
One of the smoothest songs I've ever heard. Rico Suave

A song about a Welsh witch.
Adding the two women to the group is like a very good sports team adding an all star
Stevie in 1975 ❤❤❤❤
I love music so it's hard to choose a favorite group, but they are my all-time favorite. Just the best of musicians all coming together to create these timeless masterpieces! Stevie is a rock queen, no doubt - so many hits. Then you have the keyboard/piano player Christie McVie who passed away a few months ago. Her smooth, calming vocals really add to each song and she has her own songs as well, "You Make Loving Fun" "Don't Stop thinking About Tomorrow" that she sings with lead guitar, Lindsey Buckingham, "Everywhere" and more. And please check out the live version of this "Rhiannon" where Stevie goes off at the end of it - as others have mentioned below too. It's one of my favorite live performances.
if a hit song can be underrated, this is a good example -- what a song!
The ultimate Stevie Nicks Billy goat voice is her solo song "Stand Back".. if you like that kinda thing 😏 It came out in 1983, when I was 8, so I knew about her before I knew of Fleetwood Mac.
Thank y'all for your reactions. You Guys briefly mentioned the material that y'all have covered by Fleetwood Mac that's from the post Bob Welch era. I immediately thought of a song that I've been wanting you Guys to react to, it's titled

Prior to joining Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were a couple and a duo called "Buckingham Nicks" (also the name of their sole album released in 1973). The album went nowhere and received no airplay... except in the Birmingham/Tuscaloosa market. They opened for a few bands which took them through Birmingham where someone from a Birmingham radio station took note and added the album to their rotation. They spent most of 1974 working side jobs to pay the bills and could find anywhere to play in southern California. Then came the offer and acceptance to join Fleetwood Mac followed by a concert promoter telling them that their album had been in heavy rotation and asking them to play 3 shows in Alabama. They couldn't find a gig to play in LA and when they landed in Birmingham found out they had sold out an auditorium of 6,000.
The first recordings of Rhiannon are from those shows in Alabama, there's a UA-cam video that compiles all 3 versions and the audio of those complete shows are on UA-cam. You mentioned hearing a little country with Stevie, she wrote a song when they were Buckingham Nicks titled "Designs of Love" which would be recorded and released on Fleetwood Mac's 1982 album Mirage with the title "That's Alright", it is absolutely a country song. You might want to check it out, it's a hidden gem in the Fleetwood Mac catalog that most don't know about.
Also, realize that Mick Fleetwood is one of the luckiest men alive. He went to find a studio to record their next album at and the studio manager played "Frozen Love" from the Buckingham Nicks album. Fleetwood started to focus on the playing instead of the recording and asked Buckingham to join after their guitarist quit. Buckingham told him it was a package deal and he wasn't joining without Stevie. Luckily Stevie hit it off with the other band members (you know they feared it was going to be some Yoko Ono situation). Fast forward 4-5 years, they have their first #1 album, follow it up with arguably the greatest album of all time that sold over 40 million copies and Fleetwood, who looked like a coked-up Frankenstein monster, was banging 20-something Stevie Nicks.
If you made it all the way through this, I would also recommend you check out the very underrated Irish band Thin Lizzy. You know them from The Boys are Back in Town but they have much better songs. I would recommend "The Cowboy Song" and if you want something with some Irish flair "Black Rose: A Rock Legend".
Just that sleek opening, then Stevie comes in with her songstress story telling... I wasn't a huge fan in the day, but this rendition of Fleetwood Mac is an all-star lineup, Christine McVie such a fantastic vocalist herself knowing how to blend the keys and her backing vocals just in time in perfect harmony. Lindsay Buckingham a true top talent is his own right, staying in the backdrop allowing the ladies to lead.
Lindsey sang lead and co-lead on 50% of their FMs song - on the albums and on stage.
This whole album is Great!
"this is a song...about an Old Welsh Witch." I never knew that though. Just liked the pretty song. This song, to me, really features John McVie on bass. There are times when that bass player, John McVie taps into something. That's why the drummer connected with him.
The Rumors album is one that is worth listening to,not a bad song on it. Saw them not that long before the pandemic hit and they played everything l wanted to hear except for "Oh Well", which is one of my favorites from them, still it was a great concert👍🏻🥰🎵
Has anyone told you about their name? The drummer is Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood). The bass player is John McVie. (Mac)- Fleetwood Mac.
You need to do the live 70's video version,it's ridiculous!!!
Stevie is amazing on her own as well
Edge of seventeen and Stand back are good ones
And she also does a duet with Don Henley called Leather and lace which is nice
That's the late Christine Mc Vie singing in the chorus. Tough loss.
Don't sleep on Linda Ronstadt for being an all time great female vocalist. She is my # 1.
