This was the song Stevie wrote after she and Lindsey broke up to express how she felt. The song he wrote about the same event was Go Your Own Way. Well, Secondhand News too. They're so powerful because they're authentic just like you said. They truly don't like one another, but will always love one another. What they were going through during the writing, arranging, recording, producing of Rumours was very painful and angst-ridden due to the breakup of such a long term relationship with such deep feelings. Rumours is a standout album among albums still after all these years.
Yes, growing up in the 70s/80s, we just thought all this great music, including from the 60s, was just normal and would continue forever. We had no idea the bounty of incredible music we had was so unique and special. For me, music past the early 90s changed for the worse and has only gotten worse. There are some exceptions, but overall the old stuff is far, far superior and will be listened to for centuries.
So good! A couple of years ago when I had a Facebook account a High School (girl) friend said to me "hey, remember when your mom drove us to the Fleetwood Mac concert?!" Wow! That was in 1974 or '75. Those were the days my friends.
@@gistechrep3816 You got to see Fleetwood Mac back in the day?!! Wow, amazing. Yes, it was just all there for us to experience & seemed so normal, all the great music. Looking back at the 60s/70s/80s, it was just an incredibly special time for music.
It was so awesome being a teenager in the 70s so much incredible music constantly coming out... Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rush. Steely Dan, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd. ZZ Top, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath,Bob Seger, Styx, ELO, The Outlaws it's was just such a great time for music and I love that younger people are now enjoying it and shows we knew good music👍
Yes indeed. I graduated high school n 1975. Our generation was privileged to all of it starting with Elvis. Incidentally, I just told a friend of mine that Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin were my two favorite bands! The first two bands mentioned on your list :-)
Rumors. One of the best albums ever made. Period. I think I wore my album out listening to it in my room. Even over four decades later I still remember every note and word and emotion. Great reaction, thank you. Glad to see the younger generations discover what we grew up with and appreciate real talent. Next react to their song “Tusk” it’s in a category all its own. Do a live and studio version. Live is better. Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie each have very distinctive voices. You’ll tell them apart very quickly. Great job, more please!
Thank You for validating on of the greatest joys of my life. When I was young, I thought this music would last forever. Dreams is skimming the surface of Stevie Nicks. There are so many artists and so many "Dreams" yet to be found in this era. This is what humans are capable of and it is extremely sad what autotuned monstrosities we've chosen to present as worthy of attention these days.
No offense to anyone who's from any other generation but those of us who came up in the 70s and 80s experienced the greatest music ever. No Auto-Tune, no computers. Just instruments and extremely talented singers.
The drama you started to read on was one of the biggest fueling factors in how great Rumours was/is. The lyrics. The passion. The despair. Turmoil. And out of the chaos...came one of the greatest albums of all time. Any "top greatest albums of all time" list always has it in the top 3, toggling back & forth with Abbey Road & Thriller. And Stevie is a voice you will soon realize that is one of one. You'll be able to pick her out anywhere. That soft but strong melodic trill in her voice, sort of a tremble in her notes. So pure & raw. There's a reason she is the 1st woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame twice. First with Fleetwood Mac & then by herself. You should check out Go Your Own Way or Songbird from Rumours. A couple not on Rumours but equally as perfect, are Gypsy & Little Lies. Landslide gives you way more Stevie, & for some Stevie solos if you want, check out Edge of Seventeen or Stop Dragging My Heart Around.
That involuntary chill you got, that was because the backing vocals come in right there and they're real nice, so far back in the mix, you barely notice them. I learned this song recently for my band and had to listen real hard to pull out those two vocal parts. They say, "Heartbeat.. Stillness... Know me... Ooh ooh... Ooh ooh."
I'm a late 70's baby & grew up listening to this group. My parents love them. My Dad still has his original vinyl copy from then. We always pop it on when I'm home visiting. Vinyl is the best, too. When that needle drops, I get goosebumps!
Stevie has one of those iconic voices that you'll never mistake for anyone else. It's part of why this music is so good, it's got a lot of oomph I like silver springs and go your own way, you'd really like that one
This album is so special and was one of my favs in 77...so happy to see people like you reacting to the music that I grew up with and really appreciating the absolute brilliance that it was. Still gives me chills. There are many great female singers out there but there will always only ever be one Stevie Nicks. You'd love Edge of Seventeen, I can't Wait and so many other songs from her solo career.
This album ruled the airwaves in 1977 and a few years beyond. Most of the songs saw airplay on both AM and FM radio, on both rock and easy-listening radio. It was everywhere. Their popularity really grew when Stevie Nicks joined the band in '75. They had a follow-up up album in '79, but Stevie embarked on a solo career soon after and Fleetwood Mac never saw the same level of success.
I’m 69 and was lucky enough to grow up with this stuff … so much of it … never took it for granted, it’s great to see these amazing tracks that I’ve listed to and loved all my life getting a deserved resurgence.
The Buckingham/Nicks era was the third incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. The first one was the original Peter Green era. Peter Green wrote the song "Black Magic Woman" and FM recorded it about a year before Santana. If you have never heard the original version I would recommend it. The next era, albeit brief, was with Bob Welsh. "Hypnotized" is probably the most recognizable track of that period. Then there's the Buckingham/Nicks era when they had their greatest success. You should check out some of each of the different sounds from each era.
From 1975 on the 3 singers were Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie. They all contributed to the band . In 1991 the band broke up but reunited in 1997 when they recorded The Dance Live. They released the video of that concert it was an AMAZING performance by the band which threw them back into the game . After touring for The Dance ….Christine McVie decided she was done and retired . The band went on without her and recorded another great album called Say You Will in 2001. They have been touring ever since but never recorded another album. Christine McVie came back after 14 years and joined them on two worldwide tours. Stevie Nicks has had her own very successful SOLO career since 1981s Belladonna. Stevie Nicks was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Making her the first female ever to be inducted twice. Once with the band and once as a solo. Check out STEVIE nicks solo music….Edge of Seventeen, Leather and Lace w Don Henley, Stop Dragging my Heart Around w Tom Petty, Whenever I Call You Friend w Kenny Loggins,Stand Back, Beauty and The Beast, Talk To Me, Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You, I Can’t Wait, Rock a Little, Fall From Grace, Trouble in Shan-Gri-La, Italian Summer, Moonlight ( A Vampires Dream) and many many more.
All these years later I can still sing along to the lyrics, still feel the emotions. Lots of relationship issues with this band, dude. Fleetwood Mac started as a British blues rock band. Check this out. ua-cam.com/video/BaNakJdgySg/v-deo.html
Hey Salvo,all the members sang and harmonized,but it's Stevie's husky,haunting vocals that led the charge.That being said,do not underestimate the vocals of Christine McVie.She passed away fairly recently,unfortunately....I saw your reaction to Landslide,and it was great.May I ask that you react to a gorgeous Fleetwood Mac song whose vocals are sung by Christine? It's called SONGBIRD,and you will adore it! Please react to it in honor of her.Thanks!
I was ten years old when Rumours came out. My best friend's mother played it non-stop when I was over at the house. It really takes me back. There is so much music to discover for me too, and I was there, lol. I'm so happy you're enjoying this era of music. I particularly like song "The Chain." I think Stevie Nicks with her unique husky voice and her gypsy-like style captured the attention more than her other band mates. The personal relationships complicated matters, but I think they eventually all realized that their success depended on each other. Stevie Nicks had an incredible duet with Tom Petty when she was solo, "Stop Dragging My Heart Around," and another cool one with Don Henley from the Eagles, "Leather and Lace."
Stevie nicks has said she wrote Dreams in ten minutes in a room under the studio of Sly Stone. The song was in response to Lindsey Buckingham's bitter Go Your Own Way which he wrote after the two broke up. Both songs were hits. Can you imagine having to play those songs live in concert while being on stage with the person the songs are about for the world to hear? This band wrote about its personal heartbreaks, including with each other. That is one reason its fans are so loyal. Brutally honest band.
Fleetwood Mac, in its "classic" lineup which appears on Rumours, where the song "Dreams" appears, has 3 "lead singers" - Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham. Each of these three singers have songs in Fleetwood Mac that they individually sing lead on - and the rest will sing backup vocals with good harmonies. Or sometimes more than one will sing the lead in harmony with each other.
This song, Dreams is mostly Stevie Nicks singing. The chorus features all three (Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie). When you heard The Chain, that was Lindsey and Stevie doing a back and forth with Christine adding some vocals in the chorus. In Go Your Own Way, that was mostly Lindsey Buckingham singing, with Stevie and Christine in the chorus. If you want a more Christine-focused vocal, there are slower ballads like Oh Daddy and Songbird, but I think you'll really like You Make Loving Fun. It's one of the more optimistic songs on Rumours.
Enjoyed your reaction, it's hard to explain to someone how it was to turn on your radio every day to hear brilliance, there is almost never an end to 70's music. It's hard getting old, but I wouldn't change growing up in the 70's for a million dollars. My hobby was going to concerts, I've seen almost everyone I wanted to, only a few I didn't get to see live.
The Rumours album is so great and the backstories are something. All the breakup songs are the bands own breakups with each other. They’d fight, breakup and make them into hits together. Yes, it’s authentic bc it’s their own heartbreaks.
Whoever wrote the song in this band was the lead singer on the song which is why all of their albums have a different feeling in every song which really is why Fleetwood Mac did so well and built up different fan bases
I'm a huge FM fan! This is my favorite aong of theirs. Stevie is my idol! She's spectacular! The ONLY #1 single they ever had and lyrics written solely by Miss Stevie herself! ❣️
6:57 This is the best explanation I’ve ever heard as to why I truly love listening and watching reaction videos. Seeing someone hear certain songs for the first time is just special to see, and the closest thing to recreating it ourselves. Awesome video man, definitely subscribed 🙏🏼
Having grown up in the 60's and 70's this is the music we grew up On and I agree the music of today Is packaged, plastic, no heart or soul, no funk, no beat. Devoid of artistry
Getting a #1 single in the 70's was far more difficult than it is today. So many genius acts and only so many songs that could be played in a day. No MTV yet, FM was in it's rock infancy. (Some cars didn't even have FM radios in them.) So AM radio, movie/TV soundtracks and shows like The Midnight Special or Saturday Night Live were really the only way to reach a mass audience. The album, however, was #1 it seems like forever.
Fleetwood, classic. Every song is awesome. I find it fascinating how you describe the music. It was a different time and we really miss it. Maybe you all can carry on the love we shared through the music we loved. All genres were out and creating. It was beautiful.
You nailed it. I get so much joy from watching people react to the soundtrack of my life. As you said, it’s recapturing the feeling of hearing these incredible songs for the first time.
This entire album is crazy great. This tour was my first concert in '77 and I'll never forget it. You might consider just going through this entire album, too. (unless that's what you're doing now). Watching your joy brought back some good memories; enjoyed this!
You talk about going cruising ... I had a new 1978 Firebird and drove an hour to and from work every day, with RUMOURS on full blast! What a good time.
You're spot on! Watching you listen to it for the first time is much like getting to hear for the first time myself! It's such a rush of nostalgia, love, wonderment-really.
You should react to Gypsy , Landslide, Gold Dust Woman, Sara, Silver Spring, Little Lies, Isn’t it Midnight, World Turning, Oh Daddy, Songbird, Seven Wonders, Tango in The Night, Big Love, Peacekeeper, illume, Caroline, and Bleed To Love Her from them. All amazing songs and you will not be disappointed.
This whole album is perfect, there is jog a misplaced note or sound in the entire production, everything had it's place and to listen to the whole album right through for the first time is pure joy, and it really is something upu shroud do.
It was their 11th album, but only the 2nd with Stevie and Lindsay. There's lots of great music from the pre-Lindsay/Stevie era, also. Check out "Oh Well", "Sentimental Lady" (you've probably heard this one and don't realize it), and "Hypnotized".
The music from the 70 80and early 90s was a group of talented people and instrumentalist people so talented.just sitting in a room creating music.no computers.so many different great bands from that era .loved growing up in that time
My wee brother bought this album in 77/78 and would play it when he was home from school for lunch each day, I was back on the farm after college! Takes me back to those days.
I saw the rumors tour in Oakland California while living in Alameda. The problem was there was so much good music to compete with back then that if you reach number one you had climbed up Mount Everest!!!! 😉🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
You nailed it that is what this channel is all about for me is an old guy loving this music like crazy for 40 years and watching someone else enjoy for the first time God takes you back to the old cruising days or whatever
Mick Fleetwood blew me away at a concert... (can't remember which one, my mom would take me every year they came) he had a drum suit on and gave the most memorable drum solo ever. He is the most underestimated drummers out there. I love his beat
Rumors is still one of the best albums I've ever heard. I was lucky enough to grow up with this music, but Rumors was and still is one of my all time faves.
It is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song as well. During their commercial prime, Stevie, LIndsey, and Christine shared lead vocal chores. As you know now, this song is Stevie Nicks.
I want to type that the favorite song I have that Stevie sings is called Rhiannan. Yes, I know it wasn't their absolute best song, except it continues to be that to me. You should absolutely listen to it.
I love love love 💕 your reaction to one of my top 5 bands of all time. Mind this is before of course iTunes and other social ranking media. Back then it was a record, a radio station and Paper ranking on air play. A band truly before their time, but for me it's been a song book of my life for over 40 years 😉
Loved seeing your reaction. You had the same reaction that many of us did when first hearing this song not to mention the Rumors album which is one of the all time best. BTW the singer was Stevie Nicks.
Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks did one album in 1973 before they joined Fleetwood Mac called Buckingham Nicks. My dad bought me that album and I still have it. Check it out on UA-cam. You can listen to the whole album.
Thank you for expressing this. Although reality is relative..........and the song is called 'Dreams', you are actually getting to how we all express our idea of 'reality'....which might be a dream. You are wonderful.
Lots of good in 1977. We had the Rumors album, George Lucas gave us the original Star Wars, and also sadly we lost the great Elvis Presley. This was an iconic summer for me and I will always remember being a teen hanging out late nights on the beach in NC, listening to this song and many many more great hits from the time. This will always take me back to the arcades on the beach.
This entire album is a break-up album. All the members of the band were breaking up with each other. Then many of us who were in our late teens and early twenties at the time, WE were going through our own break-ups. It was CRAZY! What a time to be alive!
I moved in with my GF in 76 and this album or the previous album were the soundtrack of our life. Maybe try their song “Over my Head”. Thanks great reaction
That album is the result of break ups, affairs, losses & fighting Turned out, made one of the greatest tunes/album of all time! Oh the stories are known but, It can lead you to several huge songs and bands The Eagles are in that mix As is, Linda Ronstandt, Walter Egan ect… Take a peek at how that album really became apart of, Rock N’ Roll History ☺️✌️🎶
Dreams is Stevie Nicks. The chorus of The Chain was Lindsey. Go Your Own Way was Lindsey. Landslide is Stevie. Silver Springs is Stevie and was supposed to be on Rumours. I haven't seen you react to a song by the other woman in the band yet: Christine McVie.
Before they were in Fleetwood Mac there was an album by Buckinghan-Nicks you really should give a listen too. Check out the track Frozen Love. Mick Fleetwood heard it & they were hired almost on the spot!
U need to do THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL appearance by them Rhiannon the song. No other video shows the pure greatness by Stevie. She's almost possessed by the spirit. Soper special video.
Out of personal anguish came greatness. Seems to happen throughout history. Thomas Hardy has a similar back story. This was also the 2nd song my ex-wife ever did at karaoke.
Oh my God 40 seconds in and you said the one reason I watch reactions is because I like to see people react to my favorite songs because it reminds me of the first time I heard it so you are absolutely correct in my mind maybe not everyone else's but you're right
There is not a bad song on Rumors! A true classic! Supreme genius!
Absolutely! The entire flipping album. This album is one of the top 5 selling albums ever.
@@trishc3099 top ten
@@inkoinfinity2 I stand corrected.
@@trishc3099 np
One of a handful of albums you can say that about.
This was the song Stevie wrote after she and Lindsey broke up to express how she felt. The song he wrote about the same event was Go Your Own Way. Well, Secondhand News too. They're so powerful because they're authentic just like you said. They truly don't like one another, but will always love one another. What they were going through during the writing, arranging, recording, producing of Rumours was very painful and angst-ridden due to the breakup of such a long term relationship with such deep feelings.
Rumours is a standout album among albums still after all these years.

We had no idea the bounty of incredible music we had was so unique and special. For me, music past the early 90s changed for the worse and has only gotten worse. There are some exceptions, but overall the old stuff is far, far superior and will be listened to for centuries.
Agreed
Talent without the need to run around the stage half naked or use every trick just to sound okay…. Those were the days….

"Our" music, will outlive us all!!!The 60's, 70's & 80's music ROCKS!!!🎶🎼🎵🎹🎤🎸🔥🥁💜🤘🤘🤘
It was so awesome being a teenager in the 70s so much incredible music constantly coming out... Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rush. Steely Dan, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd. ZZ Top, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath,Bob Seger, Styx, ELO, The Outlaws it's was just such a great time for music and I love that younger people are now enjoying it and shows we knew good music👍
It was equally as good in my 20's
Kansas.
Eagles, America, Boston,.Guess Who, BTO....on and on. Such great music.
Yes indeed. I graduated high school n 1975. Our generation was privileged to all of it starting with Elvis. Incidentally, I just told a friend of mine that Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin were my two favorite bands! The first two bands mentioned on your list :-)
You mean that it's not just because I am becoming an old fart that I think 99% of modern music is dreck?
Rumors. One of the best albums ever made. Period. I think I wore my album out listening to it in my room. Even over four decades later I still remember every note and word and emotion. Great reaction, thank you. Glad to see the younger generations discover what we grew up with and appreciate real talent. Next react to their song “Tusk” it’s in a category all its own.

The whole album is about private and personal relationships within the band.also the corrs did a great cover of this
"Tusk" from The Dance is a must
Check out "Gypsy" and "That's Alright" from the Mirage album, and "Sisters of the Moon" live. My favorite version is from the '79 Tusk documentary.

Fleetwood Mac singing Rhiannon live on the Midnight Special in 76. The band's performance is great and Stevie Nicks is spectacular.

6:57 This is the best explanation I’ve ever heard as to why I truly love listening and watching reaction videos. Seeing someone hear certain songs for the first time is just special to see, and the closest thing to recreating it ourselves. Awesome video man, definitely subscribed 🙏🏼
So many great Fleetwood Mac and Stevie songs, but this one absolutely is timeless and one of my all-time faves! Stevie is simply enchanting.
You can never be overdramatic about the power of Stevie Nicks voice, or Steve Perry for that matter.
I was lucky enough to see them in 1990 at Compton Terrace in Phoenix, AZ! EPIC CONCERT ♥️♥️
They were soooo good even back in the day! It was a special time of music
I remember listening to this with my sister as a 5 yr old in kindergarten. My sister was a senior in H.S. And had this album. 💜
Having grown up in the 60's and 70's this is the music we grew up
On and I agree the music of today
Is packaged, plastic, no heart or soul, no funk, no beat. Devoid of artistry
I think its a top ten selling album of all time- this song is a masterpiece. Period.
You MUST see this performed LIVE!!!
real and authentic...
exactly why i love this music, especially fleetwood mac...
Getting a #1 single in the 70's was far more difficult than it is today. So many genius acts and only so many songs that could be played in a day. No MTV yet, FM was in it's rock infancy. (Some cars didn't even have FM radios in them.) So AM radio, movie/TV soundtracks and shows like The Midnight Special or Saturday Night Live were really the only way to reach a mass audience. The album, however, was #1 it seems like forever.
Great singing without a trace of shouting or going out of her lungs, as it’s too often the case today. As smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Fleetwood, classic. Every song is awesome. I find it fascinating how you describe the music. It was a different time and we really miss it. Maybe you all can carry on the love we shared through the music we loved. All genres were out and creating. It was beautiful.
You nailed it. I get so much joy from watching people react to the soundtrack of my life. As you said, it’s recapturing the feeling of hearing these incredible songs for the first time.
This entire album is crazy great. This tour was my first concert in '77 and I'll never forget it. You might consider just going through this entire album, too. (unless that's what you're doing now). Watching your joy brought back some good memories; enjoyed this!
You talk about going cruising ... I had a new 1978 Firebird and drove an hour to and from work every day, with RUMOURS on full blast! What a good time.
You're spot on! Watching you listen to it for the first time is much like getting to hear for the first time myself! It's such a rush of nostalgia, love, wonderment-really.
Christine has the clear clean voice , Stevie has the raspy but delicate Janis Joplin sound
Other great Stevie Nicks Fleetwood Mac songs: silver springs (live Dance version), gypsy, gold dust woman, Sara, seven wonders and so, so many more!
You should react to Gypsy , Landslide, Gold Dust Woman, Sara, Silver Spring, Little Lies, Isn’t it Midnight, World Turning, Oh Daddy, Songbird, Seven Wonders, Tango in The Night, Big Love, Peacekeeper, illume, Caroline, and Bleed To Love Her from them. All amazing songs and you will not be disappointed.
This whole album is perfect, there is jog a misplaced note or sound in the entire production, everything had it's place and to listen to the whole album right through for the first time is pure joy, and it really is something upu shroud do.
Music from my youth. It is just fun to share your enjoyment, thanks for your reactions!
It was their 11th album, but only the 2nd with Stevie and Lindsay. There's lots of great music from the pre-Lindsay/Stevie era, also. Check out "Oh Well", "Sentimental Lady" (you've probably heard this one and don't realize it), and "Hypnotized".
The music from the 70 80and early 90s was a group of talented people and instrumentalist people so talented.just sitting in a room creating music.no computers.so many different great bands from that era .loved growing up in that time
This is Stevie's answer to Lindsey's Go your own way.
Thanks. One of the gods of Rock n' Roll.
My wee brother bought this album in 77/78 and would play it when he was home from school for lunch each day, I was back on the farm after college! Takes me back to those days.
At 4:40 that involuntary chill was from the backing vocals saying " heartbeat....stillness.....lonely...."
I saw the rumors tour in Oakland California while living in Alameda. The problem was there was so much good music to compete with back then that if you reach number one you had climbed up Mount Everest!!!! 😉🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
You nailed it that is what this channel is all about for me is an old guy loving this music like crazy for 40 years and watching someone else enjoy for the first time God takes you back to the old cruising days or whatever
Mick Fleetwood blew me away at a concert... (can't remember which one, my mom would take me every year they came) he had a drum suit on and gave the most memorable drum solo ever. He is the most underestimated drummers out there. I love his beat
Gold Dust Woman is another Stevie classic from Rumours
The entire Rumors album is great! I also highly suggest watching The Dance. It’s a live show from 1997. Silver Springs from that show is AMAZING.
Exactly 💯 % I saw Fleetwood Mac live in the 70's Stevie nicks was my 2nd concert, Seeing peoples reactions takes me back
Great reaction! You clearly articulated the experience of listening for the first time, and why we tune in to reaction videos. Thanks and keep going.
Rumors is still one of the best albums I've ever heard. I was lucky enough to grow up with this music, but Rumors was and still is one of my all time faves.
This was my favorite song as soon as I heard it in 1978 and it has remained my favorite as of today. And I listen to A LOT of music.
On Dreams, Stevie is the vocalist. This may be the 11th album, but it's only the 2nd with the most famous lineup.
It is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song as well. During their commercial prime, Stevie, LIndsey, and Christine shared lead vocal chores. As you know now, this song is Stevie Nicks.
I want to type that the favorite song I have that Stevie sings is called Rhiannan. Yes, I know it wasn't their absolute best song, except it continues to be that to me. You should absolutely listen to it.
I love love love 💕 your reaction to one of my top 5 bands of all time. Mind this is before of course iTunes and other social ranking media. Back then it was a record, a radio station and Paper ranking on air play. A band truly before their time, but for me it's been a song book of my life for over 40 years 😉
Loved seeing your reaction. You had the same reaction that many of us did when first hearing this song not to mention the Rumors album which is one of the all time best. BTW the singer was Stevie Nicks.
Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks did one album in 1973 before they joined Fleetwood Mac called Buckingham Nicks. My dad bought me that album and I still have it. Check it out on UA-cam. You can listen to the whole album.
Thank you for expressing this. Although reality is relative..........and the song is called 'Dreams', you are actually getting to how we all express our idea of 'reality'....which might be a dream. You are wonderful.
Fleetwood Mac Gyspsy - you will LOVE IT!!! Watch the official video.
It's my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. So awesome!!! I never get tired of listening to this one. 💖💖💖
Lots of good in 1977. We had the Rumors album, George Lucas gave us the original Star Wars, and also sadly we lost the great Elvis Presley. This was an iconic summer for me and I will always remember being a teen hanging out late nights on the beach in NC, listening to this song and many many more great hits from the time. This will always take me back to the arcades on the beach.
This entire album is a break-up album.
All the members of the band were breaking up with each other.
Then many of us who were in our late teens and early twenties at the time, WE were going through our own break-ups.
It was CRAZY!
What a time to be alive!
I moved in with my GF in 76 and this album or the previous album were the soundtrack of our life. Maybe try their song “Over my Head”. Thanks great reaction
You should sample two of Stevie’s songs from Fleetwood Mac Live: Sara and Fireflies.
Both are magical.
That album is the result of break ups, affairs, losses & fighting
Turned out, made one of the greatest tunes/album of all time!
Oh the stories are known but,
It can lead you to several huge songs and bands
The Eagles are in that mix
As is, Linda Ronstandt, Walter Egan ect…
Take a peek at how that album really became apart of, Rock N’ Roll History
☺️✌️🎶
Dreams is Stevie Nicks.
The chorus of The Chain was Lindsey.
Go Your Own Way was Lindsey.
Landslide is Stevie.
Silver Springs is Stevie and was supposed to be on Rumours.
I haven't seen you react to a song by the other woman in the band yet: Christine McVie.
Before they were in Fleetwood Mac there was an album by Buckinghan-Nicks you really should give a listen too. Check out the track Frozen Love. Mick Fleetwood heard it & they were hired almost on the spot!
They didn't reach number one more than once because of the competition. It was the 70s. The greatest decade of rock.
U need to do THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL appearance by them Rhiannon the song. No other video shows the pure greatness by Stevie. She's almost possessed by the spirit. Soper special video.
Aging myself but I was 17 when I first heard this, and I still love it. Great reaction my friend!
When I think of Stevie Nicks, I automatically think of the song "Gypsy". For Fleetwood Mac as a whole, it's "Tusk"
Great band, great album. Takes me way back. Great song. Lots of good music in 1977 and 1978. One of my favorite bands when I was young. Much love.
Love your reactions and love the research you do before the songs.
Out of personal anguish came greatness. Seems to happen throughout history. Thomas Hardy has a similar back story. This was also the 2nd song my ex-wife ever did at karaoke.
Stevie Nicks a world treasure. If we want to save ourselves from Ai stomping on us like ants we need to remind them that Stevie Nicks existed.
Oh my God 40 seconds in and you said the one reason I watch reactions is because I like to see people react to my favorite songs because it reminds me of the first time I heard it so you are absolutely correct in my mind maybe not everyone else's but you're right
Their pinnacle was "MIRAGE" album, every track astounding, this record here was also awesome, great reaction again.
Man, we were spoiled by the music of the 70s!
