Why didnt u play a Christine song instead of a Stevie song?
Because it was a request from a sponsor from 2 weeks ago
@@bmac1205 Okay, but we still need a reaction to a, more or less, Christine solo.
@@bmac1205 Then don't call it a tribute. it's like playing a McCartney song when Lennon died.
(Larry King played Let It Be)
@@bmac1205 If so, then he shouldn't have even made a reference to Christine on a song that is a Stevie Nicks song. That makes no sense. Because not only is Rhiannon Stevie Nicks as the lead singer, but Christine is not even a writer on this song. He needs to do a song that Christine os both a writer and lead singer on, There are plenty to choose from and they were big hits too.
@@wallnut6666 you do understand that Rhiannon is a Fleetwood Mac song even though Stevie wrote it and sang it. You also do understand that Christine McVie was a member of Fleetwood Mac right?
I saw them on this Tour, in Winston-Salem Nc, 1976. I walked up to front of the stage,and snapped a photo, as Stevie twirled around and smiled,and looked at me! I had the photo blown up to an 8/10, but lost it a few years,s later/ Damn! Thx
If you listen to Fleetwood Mac long enough you will realize that Christine was a HUGE part of the band's sound and talent.
Always liked her voice... You Make Lovin' Fun features her better 🙂
Great song. The chorus is magical
Such a lovely lady as well as an amazing talent. RIP Christine McVie.
Fleetwood Mac is such a great band, it is surprising you haven't had the opportunity to do more of their songs. For a Christine highlight I think I would have to recommend "Songbird." It's probably the song everyone is doing as a tribute, but for a reason. She wrote it (in like half an hour) , pretty much performs it solo, and it's just one of those songs that seems like it was sent from the heavens.
Absolutely agree!
@@Dave-hb7lx Spare Me A Little of Your Love, Homeward Bound, Why, Believe Me - all great Christine tracks. She did a lot of songwriting in those early 70s.
RIP SONGBIRD ❤️
To get a great sense of Christine, try the album cut from Rumors, "You Make Lovin' Fun"... its terrific and was on the radio non-stop in the '70s.
Christine Perfect - as she was in the late 60s - fronted a blues band called Chicken Shack who had a big hit in the UK with a cover of the Etta James number I'd Rather Go Blind. It would be a fitting tribute to someone who will be loved long after she's gone.
It should be pointed out that while "Christine Perfect" SOUNDS like it's a stage name, it's not. It's her birth name. Her dad was Cyril Perfect.
"Perfect" seems an unlikely surname, so perhaps someone changed it in the past. But it wasn't Chrissie.
Stevie sings with such a raw attitude... great stuff 👏 👍
A lovely tribute, thank you.
Over My Head is a beautiful, timeless song written by Christine and sung by her, would love to see you two react to it.
Got to love the passion of Stevie in this one. Keep up the great reactions, glad you found some joy in doing them.
70’s were amazing! I was a teenager! It was such raw, new awesome music! Soooo many great bands, musicians and genres! Great time!! Glad you are learning about it and great we were apart of it, don’t know if that music will ever come again!!!! It lasts forever!❤️
Hi Nick, glad you picked this version to watch, definately the best i have seen. Stevie Nicks was on fire, in fact they all were! Sad news about Christine McVie, plenty of other songs of hers to explore as others have said!
My favorite band. Thanks, Nick.
RIP. Respect. She stood in Nicks' shadow gracefully.
Added so much to the group.
Hey Prof. great reaction! LOL
Christine was a great songwriter and had such a sweet and smooth singing voice. The songs she sang lead on like Sonbird, Don’t Stop, You Make Loving Fun, and Over My Head are worth reacting to.
Chris singing Songbird is a STANDARD! She was truly perfect.
Que gran banda!! "RUMORS" es uno de mis álbumes favoritos de todos los tiempos!! Descansa en paz CHRISTINE!!
Been watching this video for yrs now. robably top 3 of fleetwood mac performances for me. Mostly cause stevie kicks ass at the end.
Beautiful song, one heck of a performance. RIP Christine. Thank you for this Nick. New subscriber, absolutely loving the reactions, so so much.
I'd love to see some more of you and Lex reacting to Lindsey. His ensemble and solo work have been unequivocally brilliant for 50 years. He did a glorious album with Christine recently that is sublime. I love when a guitarist can inject virtuosity into a song and still service the song, AND push listeners into new sonic territory. Eddie did this for sure, Zappa undoubtedly.
And of course Allan... dear, dear Allan, with a strong emphasis on pushing the listener! The greatest of all time, never to be equalled. I love the love that you two express for his mastery.
Nick, a great tribute to Christine. She has passed, but the timeless music she helped to create will live on.
Perfect Nick.....very respectful our friend 👌
The '70s were special. I know because I was there. People today will never know what they missed out on.
It must have been AWESOME bein an adult in the 70’s.
Nick, check these Fleetwood Mac tunes sometime:
hold me
you make loving fun
songbird
say you love me
Christine will be sorely missed. Fly away Songbird RIP
I was so sad to hear that Christine McVie had died. She was one of the GREAT British musicians, honoured by our country for her services to British song writing and music. From her early blues days with Chicken Shack in the 60's, she joined Fleetwood Mac around the time of Peter Green's departure, married bassist John McVie and helped the Mac make some great underrated albums before they joined forces with Buckingham Nicks and conquered the world. The channel certainly has to delve into the wonders of this great band, whether it's the original band with Peter Green, or the transitional period post Peter, or the huge band they became with Lindsey and Stevie. There is so much great music to listen to. Thank you, Christine, for all the great songs you wrote and performed.
burt sugarman's "the midnight special" - what a great venue for 70's live music.
I first heard Christine Perfect as she was then singing "I'd rather go blind" with Chicken Shack. Check it out.
Just Damm!
This video is that complete show (18 minutes), which shows the varied talents of the entire band, including 2 songs written & sung by Christine. ua-cam.com/video/tPzdTL9XNV8/v-deo.html
My fave song with CM is DON’T STOP
It doesn’t get much better.
They could jam. Saw them live back in 1978. Awesome show.
Listen to the studio version and you’ll be mesmerized. 🌕
💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 vamos NICKKKKK
Maybe you should have shown a song featuring McVie
This was a request from a sponsor
Really need to do SONGBIRD LIVE by Fleetwood Mac featuring Christine Mcvie !!!
Ok, now you MUST hear Christine! Long before Buckingham/Nicks joined, there was Christine! She joined Mac in 70, Buckingham/Nicks in 75. I'd love for you, and all who don't know the entire Mac catalogue, to go back to the early days with Peter Green/Jeremy Spencer/Danny Kirwan and follow the transformation of the band from a straight blues powerhouse to pop phenom of their later careers. I don't know of another band who has gone through more changes than The Mac! The albums "Future Games", "Bare Trees", "Penguin", "Mystery to Me", and "Heroes are Hard to Find" are all Mac albums that feature Christine heavily and are pre B/N. Try this beauty from the "Mystery to Me" album. It's pure Christine, from the somber keys intro to Christine's moaning plea "You gotta believe me....." to Mick's snare crash and they're off to the races with a straight rocker for the next 4 minutes! She gave so much more to The Mac sound than most realize! ua-cam.com/video/zs70De66D5w/v-deo.html
Songbird, Don’t Stop, As Long As You Follow (there are certainly my more) are Christine songs. Stevie owns this one.
It was amazing Nick, you would have spent all your money on concert tickets and albums.
❤️ Goosebumps every time 🔥
There are 3 era's of Fleetwood Mac that you'll have to explore Nick & Lexi :) . . .
The 3rd can be very special live. A fave of mine is when Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham (on acoustic) was belting out "Big Love" on Late Night w/David Letterman (which seems to be taken down :/). Lindsey is an amazing finger picker.
For Christine McVie, you'll have to share with Lexi "Over My Head". She has a beautiful voice on that one. But I'm sure all the Mac fans will request some deeper cuts of her work, and deservedly so.
- Rest in Peace Christine 😥
Edit: Nick, be sure to watch Rick Beato's: *Christine McVie: Losing Fleetwood Mac's Songbird* :).
If you want to hear Lindsey Buckingham featured, please listen to Fleetwood Mac/Lindsey Buckingham- I'm So Afraid Live 1982 on YT. This song is personal for Lindsey, as he suffered from depression. There is something about this version that puts it above most of the others on YT. Lindsey on lead vocals with Christine McVie backing vocal. The guitar solo is outstanding, you can feel the bass and the drums deep down hammering away, and the way Lindsey moves on stage is mesmerizing. My 2nd favorite live version is during The Dance concert years later in 1997. These live versions are much better than the studio version.
Nick/Lex ,
Love the channel and your voyage of discovery.
in that vein I would suggest that you investigate the first version of Fleetwood Mac, led by Peter Green, which was a very different proposition from the later soft rock band. In particular it would be worth you listening to Oh Well Pts 1&2 ,Green Manilishi, Man of the World as well as Black Magic Woman and Need your love so bad . I think you'd enjoy Peter Green's guitar -he succeeded Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
Best regards
Keith
I would recommend "Crazy Love" from the "Mystery to Me" album. A great Christine song. Her piano and vocals both shine in it. It's not all about Buckingham and Nicks. Fleetwood Mac had been around for quite a while prior to their joining.
Hey Nick, maybe you should have picked a song that Christine was singing Lead on!
RIP Christine.
Thanks Nick, Love your Channel
Thanks but this was requested and paid for 2 weeks ago. I couldn't change the song. Christine was alive then:(
Listen i was born in 1953 don't get me wrong it was great to living in the late 60s and 70s but everything was not going well
Nick your next reaction to Fleetwood Mac's Landslide(Live) with Stevie Nicks doing the lead singing!!!
Brilliant song! ..at the time, this was rated as very good - one of the best! Yet there were 101 other bands working at this level (so, in a way, ordinary / more of the same). Rumours was a killer album and had lots of airplay (I've a copy I bought then, somewhere in a case with 20 other LPs). Rumours had no filler, great songs one after the other.
And thank you Nick & Lex for all the effort & enthusiasm making these YT reactions! :)
Try a Christine song. Anything from The Dance tour is awesome.
Should of played Songbird by Christine...💞
kickass version
Please do Songbird. Her gift to us all.
She was a total badass. She had an affair with a lighting guy from the tour, wrote a song about it ('You Make Loving Fun'), and when her bandmate husband John McVie asked her what the song was about she said it was about the family dog. It went on to become a huge hit. That's badass.
I loved when Chris and Stevie sang together, which was not all that often. Great piano work on that song. I've been a huge admirer of Fleetwood Mac since the early 70's and they were outstanding. You need to listen to Christine's You Make Loving Fun (ua-cam.com/video/f5eCEdu_gQE/v-deo.html) and Songbird (ua-cam.com/video/eLRyYETnoIE/v-deo.html) to see her really shining.
Hi Nick. If you're interested in listening to Christine from the early 70's with Fleetwood Mac there is the Mac album "Future Games" recorded in 1972. This album is considered by many old-time Mac fans as their best album ever...even better than the Nicks/Buckingham era mega-hits. The album is considered the beginning of her rise in influence of the shaping of the bands future sound. Two songs, "Sands of Time" and "Woman of a Thousand Years" are two of the best Fleetwood Mac songs of all time...Christine sings backuo on both songs. So maybe give those these two songs a listen as an introduction to Christine's early Fleetwood Mac days.
RIP- Christine McVie...proceeds to show a song showcasing Stevie Nicks.
This was requested and paid for 2 weeks ago. I couldn't change the song. Christine was alive then:( Like I said in the intro. Clicks on video and proceeds to write a comment without listening to the intro...
You might want to listen to the studio version of this song. It has more harmonizing between Christine, Stevie and Lindsay- really pretty- and different lyrics. As others have said, "Songbird" is a Christine solo and very beautiful, as is "Over My Head."
🎵❤️🎵
I agree. There's certainly a place for LIVE performance reactions, but this is why we have studio versions : they are cleaner !!
You need to check out The Wild Things, they are a great new band!
I was born in 1970. It was GREAT ! Btw. It’s decade. Not century lol
Reaccionen a rayuela-la casa del hombre. Es rock progresivo argentino nuevamente, y nadie a hecho un video reacción a rayuela todavia. Es una banda excelente, les va a encantar!
If you decide you'd like to do one of their hits that was a lead vocal by Christine, try one of these. "Say You Love Me", "Over My head", "Songbird", "You Make Loving Fun", "Everywhere", Oh Daddy", Little Lies"...
Don't stop without mentioning "Don't Stop", lol! It was Christine's biggest hit. (#3 on the charts.)
@@Jessica_Roth Read my post again. My list was specifically referring to hit songs she is the sole lead vocalist on. "Don't Stop" is a big hit that she wrote but she shares the lead vocals with Lindsey Buckingham. I'm focusing only on hit songs where Christine is lead vocals for this post
@@wallnut6666 I'm pretty sure you wrote "a lead vocal", not "SOLE lead vocalist". And I'm sure because I'm reading your post right now.
Perhaps before you pull the "read my post" card, you should…read your post? Just a thought.
@@Jessica_Roth My post clearly indicated I was specifically requesting a song that Christine sings the lead on in contrast to the song he played in which Stevie sings the lead on. But if you want to get caught up about any differences or similarities between the phrasing of "the lead vocal" vs "a lead vocal" vs "shared lead vocals" to try and press a senseless point in an effort to defend you own misinterpretation of what I was saying then go right ahead. But perhaps you should also learn to recognize the context in which someone makes a statement so that you can be able to interpret it a little more accurately. Just a thought .
@@wallnut6666 Or perhaps you could learn to express yourself so that people don't "misinterpret" what you write, if you're triggered enough by my DARING to mention the biggest hit that Christine sang lead on (shared with Lindsey, yes, but still lead…and IMO her verse is the heart of the song) that you feel compelled to jump down my throat.
Ye gods.
I support you guys, but Christine McVie is one of those unsung, somewhat hidden major figures in music. I suggest doing a little bit of research on her and Fleetwood Mac itself in order to fully appreciate what we lost last week. She was writing songs for Fleetwood Mac going back to 1971 with Future Games. Fleetwood Mac has been a songwriting collective since then - multiple songwriters writing their own songs and contributing them to the group. "Come a Little Bit Closer", "Homeward Bound", "Spare Me A Little Of Your Love" - just some of her great songs to come before the Buckingham Nicks era that started in 1975. All those early 70s Fleetwood Mac records are worth hearing.
This is a beloved figure that never really gets discussed as such - this is why all you're seeing all this widespread emotion for a seemingly unknown musician to much of the younger generation. In a band full of chaos, she was a rock. And she had no ego to speak of.
Newer more famous songs have already been mentioned, so I won't bother - except that "Songbird" is a song you must hear before you die. And, she wrote some of the band's biggest hits.
I know you said it's not a tribute video. The timing was a little unfortunate. I suggest doing a tribute - and having Lex there too, so she's aware of their role in music history.
Besides Songbird, You and Alexi should also look at Christine's song 'Daddy' considering your recent family issues...our parents are worth more consideration.
If it sounds like they are playing fast they are..had a time limit on the show
"Rhiannon" is a lovely song…but it's a Stevie song. There are many MANY Fleetwood Mac songs that Christine wrote and sang lead on. There's a fine performance of "Over My Head" on literally that very same Midnight Special show.
That said, I see you just did "Lamplight Symphony" this week (I don't do notifications; I'd be drowning in them), so you're on a BIG free pass with me for that one. Thank you.
would be nice to play an actual Christine McVie song...she sings a lot of their songs....nothing at all against Stevie Nicks but....????
Because it was a request from a sponsor from 2 weeks ago
Nice, but not the best example for Christine Mc Vie. This is more a Stevie Nicks feature.. She was also phenomenal at lead vocals, Don't stop, Songbird, Oh Daddy,You make loving fünf, Everywhere, Little Lies, Isn't it midnight and Mystified are fabulous examples.
this was requested and paid for 2 weeks ago. I couldn't change the song. Christine was alive then:(
@@NicknLex Don't worry, maybe you could do another one.
Lindsey Buckingham is the star of that video IMO. This was the best period of FM with Steven and Lindsey… Lindsey is an amazing guitar player with or without a pick. Love this video !
No he’s not, Stevie is.
Nick, I only say that with the utmost respect! 😁😁
Nick, from this same Midnight Special performance here is a better video of Christine singing lead on two of her songs. The first song, "Why", is especially nice. For some reason, most of the links to this performance have poor audio, but the audio on this link is better than most ua-cam.com/video/F4oec-I2Vl0/v-deo.html
Christie was Rhianna
What you never listened to the radio?
Nick, I'm a big fan of you and Lex, but I feel you missed the mark here. Christine's greatness was her songwriting (as well as vocals and keyboards). She was always graciously in the background letting the more "popular" Stevie take the front. Meanwhile, she was writing about 1/2 of the songs that appeared on their greatest hits album. I feel the tribute would have been more fitting if you used one of her songs. I would suggest "Songbird" from Rumours or the lessor known "Spare Me a Little of Your Love" from the Bare Trees album. No disrespect - love you guys.
Lindsay and Stevie broke up before this concert tour…..that’s why Lindsay didn’t look at Stevie at all during this song….
Don't Stop would have been more appropriate. or Songbird.
I know you are new to this music, but in all honesty, if you are going to do a tribute to Christine, you really should listen to the music she wrote.
Might I suggest you go back in time to before Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham joined the band & listen to Spare Me A Little Of Your Love from the Bare Trees album or Dissatisfied from Penguin. Christine was a great songwriter & to tribute her by listening to Stevie is just wrong.
You pause way too much what's wrong with you guys always going ga ga over her but in the 70s every woman good back then.
Stevie sounds bad on this. Sound like a billy goat
YOU really need to do a proper tribute to CHRISTINE, She was resposnible for the biggest hits they ever had, This is a GROSS OVERSITE. SORRY BUT THAT IS A FACT,
This was, as STATED, a REQUEST submitted TWO WEEKS PRIOR to Christine’s passing.
A year ago, they didn't know Steely Dan, and _now_ they are HUGE fans. They have missed out on MANY bands and genres of music. They are still catching up on bands WE know, so give them a chance to discover them.
YOU can always suggest the best examples of McVie's music, and with hopes he and Lexi will become new fans.
Weird - I (like many others) used to be a fan of Stevie Nicks (she was hot) but over the years I find her voice more and more "annoying".
At the time perhaps it was the "novelty voice" element.
These days ... of my old musical loves I prefer Annie Haslam, Maddy Prior, Jacqui McShee, Joni Mitchel .... whose voices are timeless.
Christine McVie's contribution - her songs grew on me over the decades as did my appreciation of her musical ability. (She wasn't just a "girl out front".)
Wrong song, wrong singer
How are you going to honor Christine McVie's memory with a Stevie nicks song?
Did you notice at 1:40 on, what he made clear? There are a LOT of bands N&L are _just_ discovering.
Wait, a tribute to Christine with Stevie singing??? Come on. Why didn't you do a song of hers? Songbird. Everywhere, Over My Head, Hold Me, You Make Loving Fun, You Got A Hold On Me. those all have her on lead vocals please do one (Song bird is the best)
Stevie had the thinnest voice, she was over-appreciated and Christine was under-appreciated.
These are the facts..
Your opinion. Not facts
@@alrivers2297 really? You are on a tribute to Christine, featuring a Stevie song.
The perfect example.
@@bartstarr100 Really? The title says first time reaction to live version of Rhiannon. Then he wrote RIP to Christine to pay respect. Also, no reason to insult Stevie. She had anything but a thin voice.
@@alrivers2297 Insult? Not everyone has a thin skin like you.
Stevie had no range in her voice, Facts.
You can hear hear voice crack in this song (when she was in her 20's). Her voice got worse with all of the cocaine.
Not an insult, a fact.
The insult is that I have to respond to someone who thinks any criticism is an insult.
Stevie wrote around 20% of the material, played no instrument and EVERY reactor thinks she was the heart of the group. OVER-appreciated. Also true.
@@bartstarr100 Lol, triggered much. I like Christine, but I like Stevie more. There's way more people who like Stevie more than they like Christine. Fact! Fleetwood Mac didn't really take off into the stratosphere until Stevie and Lindsey joined. Fact!
