Never has a man stood before thousands and so humbly taken the wrath of a woman with such grace. I believe this is one of the most significant and iconic moments in rock and roll history. Chills...
Well said!
Yes, considering they’re the subject of the song, he still gave it his all with a beautiful guitar solo.
You could feel the raw emotion in her so much, it was heartbreaking to me. She admits this year that he was the love of her life and it just didn't happen and she's carried that her entire life - what could have been. That was the most intense live performance between two individuals I've ever seen. When you're singing about him and he knows you're singing about him and he's taking it in. Both of them rise to the occasion. Her singing so beautifully and him accepting her feelings so gracefully. There is also another live performance of a song called Storm where it's pretty intense as well. It's not nearly as intense as this one, but just as worthy of your reaction. These two and this band is and will be forever legendary. FYI, the title just came from her seeing the city sign for Silver Spring, Maryland, when she was on the road and she used that for the name of the song - nothing more profound than that. Thank you for this reaction.
She’s telling him back in 1977, that no matter what happens. In their relationship. Her voice, singing their songs will haunt him. He’ll never be able to escape that. They did move on from one another. But she was pretty darn accurate. Great song
This is 20 years after she wrote this song and you can tell she still feels the emotion.
Things you can't fake. Even today, some don't value the special relationships they have.
It's obvious that they still have feeling for each other. I watched this live and you could cut the emotions coming from the stage with a knife.
They have always looked at each other and performed though. I think by this point, they knew it was a "thing" and sold it
Its been far longer than that. The song first came out in 1977
Yet, it was she who broke up with Lindsay and then turned around and dated the drummer.
I'm a 63 year old Veteran.
When Christine McVie playing the piano, passed I cried .
I am a 73 year old Veteran, brother, thank you for your service and welcome home. I, too, cried at Christine's passing. She was a very dynamic performer with so much heart and humility. A beautiful soul that added so much to Fleetwood Mac.
There are quite a few Fleetwood Mac Tribute bands. One of them called Rumours ATL is quite good. Not because they have a singer that sounds like Stevie Nicks, which she does, but because they have a pianist/singer who emulates Christie. The band actually festures Christie's music more then most tribute band that primarily feature Stevie and relegate Christie's music as secondary filler. When most fans think of Fleetwood Mac they only think of Buckingham/Nicks and that's what they want to hear.
Christie's music was always wonderful. I haven't heard much of her solo work or her album with Lindsey but I'm sure there are many more musical gems to discover.
@@MidwesternCornbilly Pre-Buckingham Nicks Mac has absolute gem albums, blues rock featuring Christine. I was into early FM with albums like Future Games, Bare Trees, Kiln House and Mystery to Me. Check those out.
@johncowen3729 I have all 4 of those album. Years ago, a local band I used to follow played Miles Away. Another friend of the band really loved that song. He would stand in the back of the venue and yell out. "Either play Miles Away or go miles away".
I wept like a baby.
She is literally singing this song to Lindsay Buckingham.. The fact that they can perform under their circumstances is very admirable. I couldn't do it..
Mick Fleetwood drumming at this session is the Happy Elmo everyone needs.
the greatest description of Mick ive ever heard lol. spot on.
Dude & these 2 yahoos talking about how weird it was to have those cutaways to the drummer - THAT’S MICK FLEETWOOD!!!
Always. He is completely expressive at EVERY moment and I love him. It's infectious.
Yes, that's a very famous moment when they lock eyes like that. She's belting out to him & he's locking eyes with her, too. It's just wild. They have lifelong feelings, good & bad.
Can't imagine how Lyndsey must feel in that moment. So much emotion from Stevie.
Love this performance and the entire concert is just amazing.
Props to Lindsey, he took it like a pro
Luv this & so true
"You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you." That line hits deep for sure and gets me everytime in my feels. Great reaction to one of the most emotive songs written by one amazing songwriter!
Deep without a doubt with that haunting vocal!
Yes, she gave him a lashing, but the way he took it. He gave her the eye contact she was looking for. He gave her bows as she was singing. You can hear the pain in her voice and you can see the regret in his eyes. Sadly, their tragedy is what’s makes this song amazing.
He was looking at her too throughout the song too. You just weren't paying attention. I will always believe that they love each other no matter what they say.
The way Stevie stared at Lyndsey and the looks she gave him, I was expecting him to burst into flames! Utterly brilliant song and performance.
I've actually said(posted) that in this performance Stevie Nicks' voice could potentially be the most powerful weapon in the known universe. She ABSOLUTELY nailed it. She is absolutely amazing.
Stevie Nicks is the high priestess of rock. I will forever be spellbound by her beautiful spirit and voice.
This song just burns with emotion between Stevie and Lindsey, Stevie with her voice and Lindsey with his guitar. Both of them felt it, even after all the past years.
Thank god she arrived before autotune. And all her contemporaries.
Some of the best song writing in Rock history, straight from the heart, RIP Christie.
And Lindsey's wife was sitting in front row watching this performance. But I must say as a group their harmony together has reached perfection on this tour. They did not sound like an old group from the 70s instead they had become royalties in the music industry. Something about this song brings out emotions in me and my eyes always water up.
From the standpoint of a musician,this has got to be one of the tightest best bands ever.
How savage! Write about him. Then he has to sing the song, on stage, with you!
Absolutely SAVAGE!
I LOVE this woman!!❤
Fleetwood Mac has always sounded as good live if not better than studio. You've learned about Stevie's talent, Now you must learn about Lindsey's "Big Love" from the same concert is a must! Let's not forget Christine McVie "Songbird" and many more❤
I always found their earlier live performances hit and miss, depending on how amped up from illegal substances they were. I found them to be either epic or horrible depending on the day. Dance tour forward they were much more reliable to be epic. At least to me.
The Dance concert is them at their best and be sure to react to Big Love
@stuckinarkansas1 I think that started with "Tango in the Night". That concert was excellent live.
Not just Stevie. Christine made her ex husband John play bass on “You Make Loving Fun” a song she wrote about her new guy.
but Lindsay got to sing Go Your Own Way to her even though its her song (she wrote it) so I mean they went back and forth trading looks and such. John sadly was the only one in the group not able to tell his side of anything in the band. his major contribution is the base line for The Chain.
@@rorybisson756 Lindsey wrote Go Your Own Way.
@jeremygray1331 is that true? Holy cow.
People talk of Taylor Swift and her songs about broken relationships but Stevie Nicks is the absolute BOSS. Not only is the song written about her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham but she also has him playing on the song as she looks straight at him as she emotes.
I was fortunate enough to see them on the rumours tour and also on this tour. The dance tour was awesome they seemed to be so much more polished musicians, no drug addictions and flawless playing.
I did as well, fantastic show!
Damit, at the end Stevie and Lindsey look right into each other's eyes. At times, you can't help having it hit hard. Wow.
The breakup of Stevie and Lindsey resulted in some of Fleetwood Mac’s greatest work, including their only #1 hit, Dreams. There is a video from 2004 of a live performance in Boston on PBS of them doing Landslide, just Stevie singing and Lindsey on guitar, no other instruments. Watching this video there is no doubt that the love they shared never really died, unfortunately they are just 2 people who could not make their relationship work. Very worth the watch.
This is the best live version I've ever heard.
This era of Fleetwood Mac didn't have a lead singer. It had three. I love the all-too-brief portion when the three of them sing together.
Now, seriously... Big Love, live, from "The Dance" (same concert).
Once those two achieve eyelock and never break it through the last 45 seconds or so? One of the most intense performances ever.
This Mac tune was long overdo to be played and admired. I've listened to and watched this version over a thousand times.. Stevie at her best, who I've loved since 1975!!!
It sounded as though Lindsey was answering her with that guitar solo!
Absolute PERFECTION!
This concert was great because they let the emotional tension come through. It's like great blues; what makes it great is the pain.
They'd learned to manage their emotions for the sake of their art. Earlier in this concert film Stevie and Lindsey showed a touching, genuine moment of friendship and mutual appreciation at the end of Landslide.
The amazing harmonization of the three LIVE illustrates the massive talent of this group.
Lindsay plays that guitar so beautifully.
I quit listing to Fleetwood Mac for 25 years. Growing up in 70's and 80's, its all we would hear. Got into punk and metal. But now I realize Fleetwood Mac were the true artists. This song makes me weep.
There is a video online of one show where she can't finish the song and starts crying and he tries to finish it but starts crying also. They were and in a way always will be, rock and roll's Romeo and Juliet.
real life on stage performed by those who lived and felt all the emotions in this haunting ballad.....R.I.P., Christine.....you were the true "Songbird".........
This songs goes back to a place near where I grew up (and near where I saw them perform on their Rumours tour) - Silver Spring, Maryland. As Nicks recalled it: "I wrote Silver Springs about Lindsey. And we were in Maryland somewhere driving under a freeway sign that said Silver Springs (sic), Maryland. And I loved the name… Silver Springs sounded like a pretty fabulous place to me. And you could be my silver springs - that's just a whole symbolic thing of what you could have been to me."
Looking beyond the turmoil within Fleetwood Mac, The musical composition is just spot on. Alot of us "Old Folks" knew the background on why this song didn't make the cut. Still amazing performance and yeah--He was sweating just abit. :)
Her emotions was not a staged performance element like you think.. This was a true heartfelt performance from deep within Stevie and Lindsey's memories..
Talk about emotion!!!! Whew!!!!! Their relationship is long and erratic, but permanent. The Drummer also played a part...and...and...........rumors....
This entire live concert is well worth the watch.
Welcome to the world of Fleetwood Mac: music, heartbreak, drama, drugs…..This is some rock and roll history on stage.
Stevie and Lindsey were pros are stage craft at this point. Yes, there’s emotion there but they had been playing their parts for 20 years and knew how much it made the performance that much better.
This! Exactly. By the time Silver Springs was finally on one of their albums in 1997, they were 20 years beyond their relationship.😊
@@nickycoker6332Lindsay said in an interview that they do play it into but at some point the lines blur. His own words.
Pure emotion from Stevie, superb performance.
That whole concert footage is amazing. I would enthusiastically recommend the song Tusk from this show, really fun when the USC marching band joins in.
This really was 20 years in the making,it was a live network broadcast from MTV in 1997,one of the reasons of the passion she displayed,Silver Springs was recorded in 1977,and snubbed from the Rumours album,it was released on the B side of the single 'Go Your Own Way' from Rumours in 1977,and not really known of until this performance in 1997.
Thanks for the information. I don't have a deep knowledge of their catalogue. Explains why I missed this song until recently.
Her feelings are real when she sings
That was real emotion from Stevie. I saw an interview where she said she was staring him down during the last that says you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you bcuz he won't as long he's in Fleetwood Mac
He wouldn’t look at her until the end. He couldn’t not. Love is love. Good stuff.
He was looking back at her directly the whole last few minutes. What video were you watching?
@@kbrewski1 “last few minutes”. What’s your argument? They had a very terrible and well documented love/hate relationship. That’s why I found this particular performance moving. I watched the entire video, for what it’s worth. Hell, I’ve watched it more than once. Not sure why you feel the need to lash out at my comment. It’s all good.
@JDogg1971
Lighten up Dogg. It was an observation, not an argument. Now get back outside and spin that T-Mobile advertising placard.
@@kbrewski1 will do.
It was recently that Nicks mentioned in an interview that Lindsay was the love of her life. I’m sure the emotion in this performance was very real.
So interesting that she basically fired him from the band and won’t tour with him. She says he has “toxic energy”.
@@helenespaulding7562they have a love-hate relationship till this day. She by no means was totally innocent in what happened through the years. It’s kind of weird after basically being connected for 50 years,all of sudden she couldn’t work with him anymore,aside from the 10 year break from 87-97. Im sorry,but by having Buckingham fired,it robbed us of the final tour.Neil Finn and Mike Campbell was weird and now Finn has come out and said that Stevie was upset with Campbell for not performing the way Lindsey did. What did she expect?
She changes her story all the time! Last time I heard,it was Joe Walsh.
@@randypowers2503 At least while dating Joe, he got over his addiction to alcohol and has been sober ever since! Not sure what happened between them, but strange how Joe and Ringo are brother in laws by virtue of marrying sisters! Stevie was pretty loose!
@@lantose real loose! Been lots of men! Henley,Walsh,Jimmy Iovine,the producer,Mike Campbell,Dave Stewert of the Eurythmics and that’s the ones that are documented. I even heard a rumor that her and Lindsey were hooking up on the last tour they did together and was part of the reason Buckinghams wife filed for divorce and Stevie never wanted to be on stage with him again . I don’t know how much truth there is to that,but would it surprise you? Lol
Drummer Mick Fleetwood was in the stew as well but he and Stevie parted fondly . Christine McVie (bass player John) wrote some pretty songs about her time with Dennis Wilson of Beach Boys post Manson family madness. Stevie called Joe Walsh of the Eagles the Great love of her life but their cocaine addiction destroyed that and he left to survive. She wrote "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You" which she called her most committed song. Its about them and a trip to a park favored by his 3 yr old daughter Emma who died in a car accident. He put in an undersized fountain "for Emma and all others too small to get a drink". They joke if you can remember the 60s you weren't there , the 70s was a black hole of indulgence for many.
Ah yes, we all have a person to sing this to!
I remember when this came out. I had someone at the time say, "That was absolutely beautiful. Who was that singing ?" I held up the CD jacket, and she replied, "I never knew Stevie Nicks could sing like that." Maybe she didn't know, but I ALWAYS did. Admittedly, I am one of Stevie Nicks biggest fans, I think this is one of, if the, best performances she ever recorded. She is absolutely amazing. ❤
Now check out Christine McVie on the piano singing Song Bird. It's absolutely stunning
Leather and Lace is another beautiful song.
Lindsey and Stevie will always be musical soul mates. I don't think their solo music compares to their work together in Fleetwood Mac. Both bring out the best in each other musically.
The drummer is Mick Fleetwood, one of the band founders, the band is in part named after him (along with bassist John McVie). Rightly there is a lot of focus on these two even though not they don't front the band
One of the greatest live performances ever.
Please check out "THE CHAIN live performance 1982 Mirage tour" in Los Angeles and you'll see the same relationship dynamics as Silver Springs, but this time it's Lindsey's turn. It's a super energetic performance from Lindsey and one of my favorites from Fleetwood Mac.
Time to react to a Christine song by the Mac. 'Everywhere' from this concert or, better yet, 'Over My Head' from the Midnight Special
One of the best shows I ever got to see. Stevie came back through just a few months later on a solo tour, too. Great memories of a lost friend that went to both with me.
Fleetwood Mac is one of my all time favorites. I'm always amazed when someone hasn't heard their music or know the story behind the music. I know I shouldn't as time has passed. I will always feel like these two people blew what could have been a great a beautiful love. My opinion.
You guys REALLY need to do Big Love from this same concert so you can truly appreciate the magnitude of Lindsay Buckingham’s talent. I know you have seen him play but Big Love is on another level and it’s all acoustic.
Chills everytime I see this ! ✌️❤️
In 1977, I bought the 45 rpm single of "Go Your Own Way", and on the flip (B-side) side, low and behold, "Silver Springs"
One of the most beautiful songs flawlessly performed. Thanks for reacting!
Every emotion raw af , when he’s the love of your life, but you’re not his. Deep.
"The Dance" is a must own DVD, do not think just order TODAY!!
So beautiful and mysterious. I love this performance. Well , anything with her vocals. Great performer.
The brilliance of The Mac is the variety of sounds they always provided. Y’all have yet to hear the music/songwriting of Christine McVie (RIP)
I think you cut off the end of the video right before Lindsey and Stevie embraced if my memory serves. Stevie has never lost her love for Lindsey Buckingham. That's what all those RUMOURS songs were about.
When this concert aired in 1997, this was the debut live performance of Silver Springs I believe, even though it was written in 1977 (left off the album).
This entire concert from 1997 is an INCREDIBLE CONCERT. It was a reunion of the Classic Fleetwood Mac after years of breakup, lineup changes etc. They sing EVERY great FM song in stellar sound and visuals. You could go through the whole concert and you will be blown away. And I don't think you've even reacted to songs that Christine McVie sings lead vocals on>>she doesn't just play piano and backing vocals.
Plus, the last 2 songs of the concert are big surprises and very cool.
It's one of the best live concerts you'll ever see, filmed for HBO I think originally.
One of the greatest songs and performances ever!
I just saw Stevie in concert February
She still rocks
'Landslide" is one of my favorites that she wrote and sang.
Stevie wrote this in the middle of all of the turmoil and break up. Silver Springs was originally slated to be included on the Rumors album, but ultimately got bumped. 20(ish) years later the song was broadcast live and those of us who were around for the original 70's drama have never, ever gotten over it. I knew she was pissed, but I was astounded at how pissed she still was after all of those years! Stevie is an absolute Queen!
"Silver Springs" was the B-side of Lindsey's song, "Go Your Own Way", so it was recorded and available on a single but not on an album until decades later.
Tour bus was driving by Silver Spring (singular) Maryland, she liked the name and wrote the song.
Thank you thank you, knew ya's would like it
Everything about this song/performance is amazing. I enjoyed Christie McVie looking at Stevie and Lindsey wondering where is this going at the end. Stunning
At this point she had long since forgiven him in fact later in the concert she dedicated a song to him by saying "this is for you daddy" I believe the song was Landslide and when she was done he said to her thank you sweetie !!!
She had to sing his breakup anthem to him, tour after tour for twenty years! This song, one that was meant to be there ages ago, was hers. She sent that through him. All that emotion, frustration and anger, the pain and aching just absolutely echoes. It truly is haunting.
There way she collapses into herself at the end, how freeing, that release, how emotionally exhausting that must have felt. And the way he just stares at her, almost urging, DARING her to “say it first”. Like permission for him to be able to admit he’s aching too. It was such a personal, healing moment for the both of them.
I watched clips of Silver Springs in other cities for that tour, They were dancing and playing, he seemed just totally encompassed by her. Leaning into once each other, wrapping their arms around each other, at one point he just leans against her and there’s so much pain in his face. It was like an intimate mourning between the two of them. At the end of the song her voice starts to break. He walks over to her and she just stops singing. The pause is heartbreaking. Then he bows slightly, holding out his hand to her with this look on his face. “I know, I’m hurting too. It’s ok, let me feel this with you” sort of encouragement, and she just sobs the last words to him while he smiles so gently at her. She fells into his chest and they hug, just all this emotion just escaping from them both until she heads off the stage, sobbing. I can’t imagine how heavy this was for them, what it meant to them. I read that he admitted in an interview that that moment was so powerful and raw, the he’d considered the thought of opening that door again with her had he not been expecting his first baby at the time. His own fleeting Silver Springs.
This band went through so much drama and heartache, to push through all of that the way they did just to keep the band together and the passion it brought to their music. Even on that stage alone, you have Christine and John who had their own painful romantic end while in the group, Stevie and Lindsay and all their trauma and heartache AND Stevie and Mick who had their own off and on thing as well. This will forever be my favorite performance of all time. Like Disney movie but if love were as realistically intoxicating and messy as it often is. “Til the sound of my voice will haunt you” And it does.
Mick Fleetwood the drummer is the leader of the group, he once had an affair with Stevie Nicks hence her bust up with Lyndsey Buckingham. The late Christine McVie the lady on the keyboard was originally into classical music as her father was a leading violinist and music teacher. She was once a member of a blues band called “Chicken Shack”, she was a co-writer of some of their songs, her maiden name then was Christine Perfect.
She was married to the bass player John McVie from Fleetwood Mac at one time which is when she joined the group. Eight of the songs she either wrote or co-wrote were on Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits album in 1988, “Don’t Stop” and “Songbird” were two of her songs from “Rumours.”
“Got a Hold on Me” is a good song from her, well worth watching.
Oh my god how I love this performance. Stevie and Lindsey always had a lot to say to each other through their songs 🥰
Stumbled across ur reaction.
This old fart grew up with Mac/Nicks.
She/they are legends of soft rock from the 60’s to current.
Stevie, at 76, is still touring.
Appreciate ur polite reaction.
They are TWO TIME rock n roll Hall of Fame inductees. Thank you
They helped define the 70’s. Thx again
Steivie and Lindsey were a couple several years before Mick Fleetwood recruited Lindsey to be their lead guitarist. Lindsey insisted Stevie join the band as well and the rest is history.
The earlier breakout album, 'Rumours' was about all the internal relationships breaking apart. Often, they would all write to the other via music. This was her response to Lyndsey and she was mad when it was not included on the album back in the day. As she predicted, the song 20 years on did win awards. She also shared she loved getting to scream at Buckingham through this song while they would tour.
She also got in a fight with mick Fleetwood I believe because he wouldn’t let her have the song for her album. So they held the song hostage. So much drama in this band but they thrived in it. Amazing music.
Some song are Fire, some songs are a Bonfire. This song performance is Los Angeles Burning down!!!
The intensity in her eyes. I fully expected her to come at him with a knife.
Fleetwood Mac started as blues-rock band. Peter Green was a huge fan of probably the most famous bluesman Robert Johnson, while Jeremy Spencer mastered slide guitar just like his hero Elmore James. Please consider reacting to their early stuff like: Shake Your Moneymaker, Dust My Broom, Coming Home or Doctor Brown. Regards.
Yes! Not to mention the original “Black Magic Women” (yes, started as a Fleetwood Mac song!), and the awesome rock classic “Oh Well”. And there’s lots of great music in between during the Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch eras also. I’m a huge fan of the highly underrated album KILN HOUSE, a really good “roots rock” album. Lots of rockabilly, and 50’s style rock and roll. And the classic “Station Man”, which may be the only song from that era which later versions of Fleetwood Mac would sometimes perform (along with another great song from the later just pre-Stevie and Lindsey era, the Bob Welch penned, “Hypnotized”).
Stevie's voice is deeper and more experienced in the latter years. I have always loved the Rumors album. I think The Dance, their reunion album is my favorite.
Silver Springs was released December 20th 1976, on the Rumors album.
It was NOT released on the original “Rumors” album in 1977, but has been included on some reissues as either track 6, 7 or 12 of the album, depending on the pressing.
This is an extremely emotive and passionate song but I feel it's just as haunting as her other music
Great reaction!😊If you can find any Buckingham/Nicks music, it’s just so good! It’s Stevie & Lindsey and pretty sure that they only made one album. The whole album is great, Frozen Love is a favorite. I haven’t seen anyone react to Buckingham/Nicks before.
You won’t be disappointed!☺️
This is so much better than the original recording. What an awesome performance!
Hell know you could see the hate in her eyes singing this song to Lindsey! I think she still after all of these years still loves him!
First time I saw them was in '77, during their Rumours tour. Great group.
A 20-year-old heartbreak that is still going on...
Absolutely heartfelt genius, i think it was the b side of go your own way, incredible passion and genuine emotion, it touches my soul...
Fantastic review and spot on... I am crying!
