That girl sang like her life depended on it. You don’t know whether to applaud or worry. Simply outstanding performance of a 20 something year old absolutely on fire. You can’t repeat performances like that throughout a career. Thank you internet for conserving it.
You can never really tell how great a band is until you see a live performance. And this Rhiannon version is in practice! This performance and Dire Straits, Sultans of Swing.ua-cam.com/video/8Pa9x9fZBtY/v-deo.html @@ryanmalachy777
Stevie in full confidence came out and asserted herself with Rhiannon as the all-time goddess of rock. Here it is for the world the greatest female performance ever. This is mine.
Christine’s backup vocals on this song were the mortar that cemented all the other bricks together. RIP Christine. Stevie did a beautiful tribute to you in New Orleans the other night. I only wish I could have seen you all together before you died.
Stevie's voice, Christine's piano and Lyndsay's guitar along with Mick's drums and John's bass.... Will we ever hear music like this again? Doubtful. Amazing performance 🫶
My mom loved this song so much she named me after it. I used to be embarrassed of my name, because I was made fun of for it but now I couldn’t be prouder!!
It`s important to embrace yourself... embrace your name, embrace who you are, embrace your past & future & your short comings & embrace all the good and positive differences you`ve made in this lifetime. I think Rhiannon is a beautiful name. Peace & Love to you Rhiannon .
At least your mother's favourite song wasn't 'Agadoo' by Black Lace.. you know "Aggaaa doo doo doo, shake pineapple, push a tree, to the left to the right.." or something similar..👍👍👍😆😆😆
The voice on Stevie is absolutely the best!! I have to listen at least once a month... Late at night, like this one, tears just aflowing, thinking back on life and how good it was back in the day. Ive lost many family and Friends, including my 26 year old Daughter.. To any young People, enjoy your life the best you possibly can, It really does go bye fast the older you get. I grew up in the late 70's and 80's. The best of times for many of us.
I'm sorry that you've seen so many of your loved ones pass and especially your daughter. My sincerest condolences. I wish you peace and many happy memories. 💐
I'm so sorry for your losses. I hope the music gives you comfort, it does me and like you I listen late at night to music from the 60's & 70's and remember how simple life was back then. I was born in 57 and grew up in a wonderful time. I'd almost trade all of my tomorrows for just one month back in time. Love and peace to you. ❤
Fleetwood Mac "Live" is a double album released in 1980 from their 1979-1980 Tusk tour. It has an awesome version of this arrangement. The whole album is great, but for some reason seems to get overlooked.
When I listen to it? I always put this video on. Nothing compares to the power of the instruments and her voice !! Unbelievable ?? They couldn’t have put this masterpiece together any better !!❤❤❤❤❤
This song is for my sweet, sweet boy who passed from this world to the next 2 days ago. He was 37 years old and had special needs. There is no one this earth that LOVED Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks more than him! He saw them twice in his life and had the BEST time! Rest well, my Angel!❤
I am so sorry dear. My mom took me to see Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks in 2013 when I was on chemo and it was 50/50 if I lose the battle. She wanted to make my dream come true I won!
@@edrobens5145 she carried her voice during Woodstock when the rain shorted out the ampliers to keep the show going. Some people actually thought they had it fixed when they heard her singing !!!

This is by far the best version of this song, every member of the band was on fire giving it 110% and Stevie just brought it home, absolutely amazing!!!
What is so intense about this song is that while Lindsey is whaling at the volume of a guitar solo, Stevie's hurricane of a voice drowns him out. It's like watching a battle of the titans.
Yeah...come on Stevie is another level. Not saying they don't have great gifts themselves either, but she is just on her own pedestal. Gosh I hate Mick F. He just annoys the fuck out of me. Always has I can't help it.
Completely Agree. First time watching this a few years ago, I remember literally yelling at my computer monitor. "Come on Stevie!! What you got girl!? COME ON! Yeeeaaaah!" That young woman gave it all - and then some.
@superbobbytaylor6072 Well, I'm not a music expert but the rhythm section of Fleetwood Mac was always considered good and that means John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. I suppose he's not John Bonham, Keith Moon, or Neil Pert. It's all a matter of taste I guess
im a drummer. This song was on the list and i was like who's fleetwood mac? after listening to this tune i was sold.....mick fleetwood was genius on this. im a fan and will do my best to mimic this at the gig. thx for the great music.....
Best version of this song I've ever heard. It's enough to make you forget they were the epitome of the laid back California rock. I've never seen Stevie Nicks this on fire.
Did you see her in the 70's? every time I saw her she was like this. It was fantastic I don't care if she was on drugs. I could be mistaken, but I believe this version of Rhiannon is called "rosebud.". another very similar performance was Rhiannon on The Midnight Special in '77 I think. I snuck a cassette recorder into their concert in 1978. I wonder if I uploaded it if I would get in trouble. the way she sang Sisters of the Moon is up there with the two Rhiannon's. Sadly, it's because of performances like this that her vocal cords were damaged. I read that she had to be trained to sing in a different way that wasn't so harmful to her vocal cords. RIp Christine. You will be missed so.
Fleetwood Mac isn’t talked about enough in the ‘best bands of that era’ conversation. Stevie is the best live performance probably ever, and Lindsay is one of the most underrated guitarists in music history. Rock on!!! 🤟🤟🤟

I'm 80...... Jan 1961 I turned 16..unleashed on theworld ..went through all the different phases of music..I mean hard core. Did everything available..semi hippy, logger,machine shop, marine corp, etc on and on. Through it all I made and supported 2 kids and stayed out of jail (except a couple overnighters. Now I am relegated to my 2 recliners Bedroom and living room. Kids married and gone . Wives passed away. I have my memories and my music. OK I just wanted to say that I am digging this set of tunes..as much as anybody I believe. didn't want to make your ears bleed Thanks for that.....Ripple ( my highschool knickname.)
I am 74, about to be 75, in my head I am ? 30, 40? We grew up in the BEST OF TIMES I went to this concert in Madison Wi in the 80's.....I read, a lot, have my own library of about 1000 books. My favorite past time is the MEMORIES I HAVE AND MEMORY LANE NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM US
Make new memories, it's not over until you are in the ground. A funny joke to a cashier can give a heart warming interaction. Don't count yourself out.🤗
This version is so haunting. Great example of how studio recordings so often fail to maintain the spirit of songs. I wish that Stevie had not had to endure addiction and had been cared for a little more. What a vocalist, what a sense of timing . And what a band. Magical.
@@brewsterly2927 - That one does rock. Slicker camera work, same non-LP version as this. But Lindsey’s solo is sorta halfhearted (and half as long), and somehow Stevie doesn’t quite cut loose for the last couple minutes. She almost does, but it’s like: Nah, it’s daytime, I’m gonna keep a little in reserve. Whereas here, it could be some club in the middle of the night, and the whole band are off their t*ts. Just my opinion :-)
Of topic but my synchronicity's are off the charts lately and again here with lovecraft, this one's paid off with a good channel-and i just happened to be looking for more esoteric channels!
I know she was gone ! I was wondering if was the cocaine or as you said her Soul or I might say Both. But she was definitely gone somewhere else at that time !! Amazing sound came out of her mouth and you could see it leaving her as well.i could also see the drummer into it as well. Stevie I have never seen her that intense before. Like WOW. I LOVE when Stevie or all of them are tripping together. Stevie admits she had to do her coke soon as she opened her eyes. All - day & night. I would Love to sit & talk with Stevie. She is my type of ppl
@@kathyhuntley7192 Coke has the power to take you somewhere else..... It's sad that it destroys body, cause it's a good mind opener! Every artist use those substance to attain a sort of trans to create and bring something genius
When your voice is your instrument and you can compete with a jamming amplified guitar and sound amazing you must be Stevie Nicks. She doesn't have a pure voice like Karen Carpenter but instead she was blessed with a unique, raspy, demanding to be heard rock-n-roll set of pipes that nobody has ever matched.
This was the rehearsal for a live performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test. It was so good no further version was recorded. It is truly fantastic, the best version ever recorded.
Yes, just heard Bob Harris talking about how he and his OGWT team were in Burbank to do a feature on the band, and happened to record this rehearsal version of Rhiannon, which (and I have seen many others) is the best version of Rhiannon ever recorded. Stevie is just amazing.
@@FS-tt5zi I have tried unsuccessfully. So far as I know it is not even available on OGWT publications. The nearest I could find is on the Fleetwood Mac Live double album, recorded during the Tusk Tour in 1979/1980, and I think Rhiannon was taken from the London leg of the tour. Hope this helps.
At 5:35 Stevie goes to another place. It’s a dimension we are allowed to witness but never enter for it is only for her. I am not sure she was even the least bit self aware at that moment because the music took over. My god I love this music.
As a musician of a much more humble level I've glimpsed that state myself, albeit to much less glorious results, and it is truly a rapturously beautiful place to be. I can see why so many artist do drugs - chasing that high from those moments of peak performance that they can't get in their downtime
@@jenniferprice4697, no doubt that was apart of her life, you’re not special in thinking that in that she has admitted it. Have you ever gone to a place in your mind? A place that is only for you? A place where all your doubt, pain, concerns and fears disappear, if only for a moment, because you are in that place. You may not believe in that, its not required that you do.
Dude this performace is so mind-blowing and even life-altering it's almost like I want to start a discussion group somewhere about this video because so many people talk about, were deeply affected by it, and are even obsessed with it. What the hell did Stevie channel at the end of this song??? Can you imagine how blown away the live crowd must have been when she went off? It's almost scary what happens at the end of this performance... I half-expect her to morph into a monster
@@ObiWanGinobiliTopFan It was Rhiannon herself. Stevie just channeled her raw pagan magic into those last few minutes and we got to hear the real deal. That’s how I imagine it, anyway. It is one of those transcendent sort of things you rare get in music, and when it happens it’s almost always live and never quite reproducible. If you ever do start that discussion group, let me know here! With a name like ObiWanGinobili anything you do is bound to be interesting }:8)
I agree wholeheartedly, nothing better then 1970's music, Fleetwood Mac / Stevie Nicks, / Steve Miller Band, / Bob Seger / Lynyrd Skynyrd to name some of the best!
I’ve seen her with Fleetwood Mac. I’ve seen her solo. I’ve seen them and watched them. It doesn’t matter what day of year they they’re still awesome. They create a magic energy that no other band can perform.
My oh my, Stevie is a Goddess. What an absolute performance this is. The whole band put everything into this, these kind of performances are hard to find nowadays. Incredible ❤
I have known this song since the album was released but this was my first time seeing it truly live like this. I was in gooseflesh and in awe by the end at the raw emotion displayed by EVERY member onstage . Stevie was feeling every note, Mick's face was that of a wildman, Christine was almost in a trance, incredible.
My God, what a performance!!! I am so happy to have grown up back then. This level of energy at concerts will never be seen again. Back when there were no back-up dancers etc.. The BANDS carried the shows. Stevie’s best video ever!! It’s so awesome to be able to watch these awesome memories on UA-cam!! The 70’s just ROCKED!!
I’m touched to see how this song has brought so many people together, with cherished memories of loved ones. My aunt Rhiannon was, like many of you, named after this song. She left this world just yesterday. Now this song holds a whole new meaning to me like I am sure it does for many of you. I’m grateful to be able to experience this life and had a Rhiannon in it.
Oh it's just so good. The last minute when Stevie just let's loose still gives me goose bumps even after watching this video hundreds of times. Love her so much.
@@dwightdodd3734 I'm not sure which is better, Lindsey's guitar solo and the reverb, or Stevie's interaction with the melody and lyrics. Haunting. Love every second of this version.
Shes an actual witch... They are all illuminati nembers! Shes very good at her craft! Not saying this for anything other than facts! All celebrities are illuminati and the music celebs worship the Baphomet! Look at the illuminati recruit webpage. Anyway she is my absolute favorite singer. Being in the illuminati doesnt mean they dont have to work hard cuz they do. And her voice is magnificent! Fleetwood mac is my favorite band of all time! But they are unfortunately Satanists in disguise!
John McVie: "We're about to make a video for one of the most popular, most famous, classic rock songs in music history....I better put on my best cut-off denim shorts for this one"
Stevie Nicks has something interesting to say about this video as it was originally part of a movie of them performing different songs and interviews in between. She mentions the clip was just them practicing in a rehearsal hall and their was nobody in the seats. It wasn't meant to be an official video for the song. It was just filming a practice as they were probably getting ready to go out on a tour and wanted material to review. Probably why John is just wearing shorts. Thank god they had some decent recording of their amps and mics going on. Stevie just shrugged her shoulders when told how much play the clip was getting all over the world. Really goes to show how on top of their game they were at that time period, especially Stevie.
I disagree, Spody. In Chicago 2011 Stevie doesn’t reach the high notes any more, which of course isn’t surprising. Also I much prefer the original line-up…
It's so rare that a moment like this in time comes together, especially with bands from the 70's. You can see Mick knows it's about to happen and then it happens and Stevie is probably not even aware it did because she's gone somewhere else during that time. I feel so privileged to see and hear it.
@@originalnewyorker5833 Ann Wilson of Heart wants a word with you. If you can move someone like Robert Plant to tears, you know you're special. Also, Stevie's voice isn't that good anymore but Ann's still sound great.
@@TheSharkyoz isnt that the same version as this ? Sadly I can't recall, but i thought this was the same rehearsal video that was taken down from another channel cause of copyright. They just made it official here?
For anyone not born before 2000, what you're seeing here is one of the greatest singers on the planet, taking an otherwise good but not great song and driving it to be one of the best ever by sheer force of will. This performance should be linked as an example in the Wikipedia definition of "Legendary".
When Stevie rips it up at the end I just go "wow, fucking wow"!! What a vocal perforamance! I wonder when they recorded that did they all turn to each other and say "well that's one for the history books"!
Ahhhhhaarrrrggghhh this is so damn good. The end of this song always gives me goosebumps, anytime music comes up in conversation I ALWAYS recommend this song to everyone. Rhiannon live 1976, one of the best live vocals you will EVER hear.

That's the thing about FWM, they made incredible music but the price that they paid for it was awful.
And Stevie wrote this song.
Love this comment so true
Mick Fleetwood had a great line: "Stevie's 'Rhiannon' was more like an exorcism in those days."
Did you see Stevie's performance on Edge of Seventeen in Chicago? Even in her 60's, she still nailed it.
RIP Christine McVie. A true legend. ❤

I named my oldest daughter Amber Rhiannon because of this song. She is 44 years old now and one of the greatest blessings in my life.
One of my best friends from high school (class of ‘84) named her daughter Rhiannon as well
I tried to name our daughter Rhiannon but my wife wouldn't go along. Laura works for her though.
I never had a daughter so I gave the name Rhiannon to my cat. 😊
the slight vibrato in her voice is what makes her singing so beautiful
My mom loved this song so much she named me after it. I used to be embarrassed of my name, because I was made fun of for it but now I couldn’t be prouder!!
It`s important to embrace yourself... embrace your name, embrace who you are, embrace your past & future & your short comings & embrace all the good and positive differences you`ve made in this lifetime. I think Rhiannon is a beautiful name. Peace & Love to you Rhiannon .

I wish this version was on an album, it's so much more intense than the official studio recording.
You can find a version similar to this one in the live 1977 version (there is an album for this live)

Such a mellow tune though
That's sound control. Nothing more or less
His solo's great, but when Stevie starts up again, she's so mesmerizing I forget all about him 😅

The buildup in the last part of the song is really incredible. What a performance.
This performance has cured my depression and added 10 years to my life expectancy
True medicine !! Good Luck 👍
I'm 80...... Jan 1961 I turned 16..unleashed on theworld ..went through all the different phases of music..I mean hard core.
Did everything available..semi hippy, logger,machine shop, marine corp, etc on and on.
Through it all I made and supported 2 kids and stayed out of jail (except a couple overnighters.
Now I am relegated to my 2 recliners Bedroom and living room. Kids married and gone . Wives passed away.
I have my memories and my music.
OK I just wanted to say that I am digging this set of tunes..as much as anybody I believe.
didn't want to make your ears bleed
Thanks for that.....Ripple ( my highschool knickname.)

This version is so haunting. Great example of how studio recordings so often fail to maintain the spirit of songs. I wish that Stevie had not had to endure addiction and had been cared for a little more. What a vocalist, what a sense of timing . And what a band. Magical.
Did Whispering Bob Harris have to follow this? (I wonder how many Brits know Bob is still going strong).
Spot on 👍
I've watched this countless times now and yes can confirm this is the best art ever produced. The passion!!
One of the most powerful live performances
can't argue that .....................
RIP Christine... Beautiful lady, beautiful voice, beautiful spirit!!
It's Stevie singing
She taught Stevie the ropes.
This, for me, is THE “Rhiannon”, the definitive performance. This is Stevie being Stevie. 🔥
Absolutely!!
Couldn't agree more, this is my all time favourite version with Stevie just letting it rip.
On the first time watching this, I was literally yelling at my computer screen: "Come On, Stevie! Come on, girl. What ya got? Yeeeeeaahhh!"
@@OldGal73ohhh mine also. Love Stevie. Grew up with her. 63 now and will always love her music her voice. Her style. She reminds me of me. ❤
"Her Rhiannon in those days was like an exorcism." -- Mick Fleetwood
Velho invejoso
Always thought of it as an invoking.
I feel like I need an exorcism after this.
Makes SENSE.T Y MIC.K.
I felt the demons leave MY body .
It always impressed me that a person can play drums 🥁 and sing on key at the same time🙌🏽
This is absolutely fantastic!!!! It's the BEST live version of Rhiannon available anywhere and should have at LEAST 100 Million views!
I KNOW RIGHT!!!
Hard to dismiss this one though:

@Ricky Parker - Hell yeah brother. They took out all the stops.
@@brewsterly2927 - That one does rock. Slicker camera work, same non-LP version as this. But Lindsey’s solo is sorta halfhearted (and half as long), and somehow Stevie doesn’t quite cut loose for the last couple minutes. She almost does, but it’s like: Nah, it’s daytime, I’m gonna keep a little in reserve. Whereas here, it could be some club in the middle of the night, and the whole band are off their t*ts. Just my opinion :-)
@@dukeon You are probably dead right, I'm not an audiophile but will listen to both again when time permits.
Cheers.
46 years and still one of the greatest live performances of all time
Actually it IS the Greatest Live Performance EVER!!!!!!
and year are become and become and become and the song will be intact !
And they was all stoned -AMAZING -most people couldnt do this sober -seriously -
Absolutely
Naw
I love the alternate lyrics in this version. When she sings, "And your life knows no answer!" I get chills!!!
actually its the original.... shhhhhh
Funny seeing you here. Actually on second thought, no it's not.
Thx for your work, you have a great channel Quinn.
@@yuothineyesasian I just looked at Quinn's channel some HP Lovecraft ther ... interesting stuff ✌️🎶
Of topic but my synchronicity's are off the charts lately and again here with lovecraft, this one's paid off with a good channel-and i just happened to be looking for more esoteric channels!
The 5:30 wait to see Stevies' soul leave her because her body couldn't contain it, and her voice at once was glorious. Long live the queen. ❤
I know she was gone ! I was wondering if was the cocaine or as you said her Soul or I might say Both. But she was definitely gone somewhere else at that time !! Amazing sound came out of her mouth and you could see it leaving her as well.i could also see the drummer into it as well. Stevie I have never seen her that intense before. Like WOW. I LOVE when Stevie or all of them are tripping together.
Stevie admits she had to do her coke soon as she opened her eyes. All - day & night.
I would Love to sit & talk with Stevie. She is my type of ppl
@@kathyhuntley7192 Coke has the power to take you somewhere else..... It's sad that it destroys body, cause it's a good mind opener! Every artist use those substance to attain a sort of trans to create and bring something genius
When your voice is your instrument and you can compete with a jamming amplified guitar and sound amazing you must be Stevie Nicks. She doesn't have a pure voice like Karen Carpenter but instead she was blessed with a unique, raspy, demanding to be heard rock-n-roll set of pipes that nobody has ever matched.
Right on!!!
Ya, her voice , a greath instrument.
Chills going throughout my entire body!! This is phenomenal!!!!!!!❤️❤️🎭. Their souls and bodies were feeling this at the time !!!!
This was the rehearsal for a live performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test. It was so good no further version was recorded. It is truly fantastic, the best version ever recorded.
Yes, just heard Bob Harris talking about how he and his OGWT team were in Burbank to do a feature on the band, and happened to record this rehearsal version of Rhiannon, which (and I have seen many others) is the best version of Rhiannon ever recorded. Stevie is just amazing.
this version is very similar to the midnight special version though?
@@jailime Very good question.
Do you know where i could find the audio recording pleeeease?
@@FS-tt5zi I have tried unsuccessfully. So far as I know it is not even available on OGWT publications. The nearest I could find is on the Fleetwood Mac Live double album, recorded during the Tusk Tour in 1979/1980, and I think Rhiannon was taken from the London leg of the tour. Hope this helps.
As an almost 54 years old metalhead, I really love her awesome performance. Her voice is really outstanding, and her charisma is insane ❤
Lindsey did a frigging FACE MELTER on his guitar solo!!!!! uUGH!!!!!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stevie Nicks is a rock godess for the last minute of this video.
The harmonies throughout the song is untouchable.
Another Fleetwood Mac Masterpiece.
That voice only comes around once in maybe 1000 years. Incredible
Once in a million years
I named my little black kitten Rhiannon. She's a year old in June. I love Fleetwood Mac
We will never have another one like her. Every time I listen to this. The power, the voice, the climatic ending. Blows me away every single time.
I struggle to find the words....its the most satisfying thing to watch over , over and over again!!!
Her and Janice Joplin man!! 🤘😎💜🖤
GODDESS made one STEVIE, then she broke the mold, never to be used again.
have a listen to rumours of fleetwood , they are very good band
@@prince46799 I have listened to Rumours, and they can hold their own, not mac, but I think they are pretty damn good.
At 5:35 Stevie goes to another place. It’s a dimension we are allowed to witness but never enter for it is only for her. I am not sure she was even the least bit self aware at that moment because the music took over. My god I love this music.
As a musician of a much more humble level I've glimpsed that state myself, albeit to much less glorious results, and it is truly a rapturously beautiful place to be. I can see why so many artist do drugs - chasing that high from those moments of peak performance that they can't get in their downtime
Drugs
@@jenniferprice4697, no doubt that was apart of her life, you’re not special in thinking that in that she has admitted it. Have you ever gone to a place in your mind? A place that is only for you? A place where all your doubt, pain, concerns and fears disappear, if only for a moment, because you are in that place. You may not believe in that, its not required that you do.
Dude this performace is so mind-blowing and even life-altering it's almost like I want to start a discussion group somewhere about this video because so many people talk about, were deeply affected by it, and are even obsessed with it. What the hell did Stevie channel at the end of this song??? Can you imagine how blown away the live crowd must have been when she went off? It's almost scary what happens at the end of this performance... I half-expect her to morph into a monster
@@ObiWanGinobiliTopFan It was Rhiannon herself. Stevie just channeled her raw pagan magic into those last few minutes and we got to hear the real deal. That’s how I imagine it, anyway. It is one of those transcendent sort of things you rare get in music, and when it happens it’s almost always live and never quite reproducible.
If you ever do start that discussion group, let me know here! With a name like ObiWanGinobili anything you do is bound to be interesting }:8)
We had the best music in the 70s
I agree wholeheartedly, nothing better then 1970's music, Fleetwood Mac / Stevie Nicks, / Steve Miller Band, / Bob Seger / Lynyrd Skynyrd to name some of the best!
You bet
Absolutely no doubt about that.....
We sure did cutting edge rock
YES !
That last minute and a half is pure gold man absolutely love this
That girl could sing man.
She still can!!
@@smiser8568not now
No could about it. She just rocked the house last month in Nashville. 75 and still has unbelievable pipes. She's still beautiful, too. ❤❤❤❤
Yes 🫡
I’ve seen her with Fleetwood Mac. I’ve seen her solo. I’ve seen them and watched them. It doesn’t matter what day of year they they’re still awesome. They create a magic energy that no other band can perform.
My oh my, Stevie is a Goddess. What an absolute performance this is. The whole band put everything into this, these kind of performances are hard to find nowadays. Incredible ❤
I can’t stop watching this live rendition of Stevie. She is a God. They way she gets into it at the end is a whole vibe for me ✨
No. Not God, but Goddess. Like the song.
6:00 Mick once said that in this earlier time of Rhiannon, Stevie's passionate performance was "like an exorcism." 😂
I have known this song since the album was released but this was my first time seeing it truly live like this. I was in gooseflesh and in awe by the end at the raw emotion displayed by EVERY member onstage . Stevie was feeling every note, Mick's face was that of a wildman, Christine was almost in a trance, incredible.
Stevie's best ever performance of Rhiannon... ... ... ...wow!
Christ, they were lightning in a bottle in this era. Stevie's voice was fucking gigantic.
One of my favorite songs and Stevie is amazing. Now I have a new great granddaughter whose name is Rhiannon. How special!!🥰
Ha ive a kelly loo n amy jo my gransons name is hendrix i call him jimi he has no idea y
@@richardplume3212 Love the name!
This is the epic version of Rhiannon in my opinion
My God, what a performance!!! I am so happy to have grown up back then. This level of energy at concerts will never be seen again. Back when there were no back-up dancers etc.. The BANDS carried the shows. Stevie’s best video ever!! It’s so awesome to be able to watch these awesome memories on UA-cam!! The 70’s just ROCKED!!
I’m touched to see how this song has brought so many people together, with cherished memories of loved ones. My aunt Rhiannon was, like many of you, named after this song. She left this world just yesterday. Now this song holds a whole new meaning to me like I am sure it does for many of you. I’m grateful to be able to experience this life and had a Rhiannon in it.
So sorry for the loss of your Rhiannon
Christine was a great musician and person who left the world a huge legacy ☺️🙂😊
Oh it's just so good. The last minute when Stevie just let's loose still gives me goose bumps even after watching this video hundreds of times. Love her so much.
She's all goddess
@@rickydiggler7950 was rhiannon a real person?
@@mehchocolate1257 I don't know I was talking about Stevie lmao
@@rickydiggler7950 I'm guessing that you have a crush on stevie 😂😂😂😂
@@mehchocolate1257 Not now! Shes haggard
One of the few songs where the live version is objectively better than the studio version
By far !!!!! and this is RARELY the case..........................
@@dwightdodd3734 I'm not sure which is better, Lindsey's guitar solo and the reverb, or Stevie's interaction with the melody and lyrics. Haunting. Love every second of this version.
I just met a lady and complimented her name, Rhiannon. And she so graciously introduced me to this song. Thank you, Rhiannon 😂❤
There is something about Stevie, I can't explain it she's magnetic, she's sooooo beautiful and just oozes something unexplainable
her voice is haunting!!!!
Shes an actual witch... They are all illuminati nembers! Shes very good at her craft! Not saying this for anything other than facts! All celebrities are illuminati and the music celebs worship the Baphomet! Look at the illuminati recruit webpage. Anyway she is my absolute favorite singer. Being in the illuminati doesnt mean they dont have to work hard cuz they do. And her voice is magnificent! Fleetwood mac is my favorite band of all time! But they are unfortunately Satanists in disguise!
I will never find anything more perfect
You are right!
Stevie Nicks' performance of this song has been described as the exorcism of a witch. Just love it.
Lindsey’s guitar solo just blows my mind. With John on bass and Christine on keyboards? Stevie what?? They are phenomenal !!❤❤
Im 62 and definitely a fan of Fleetwood Mac. Love the Buckingham Nicks album . I get chills when Stevie cuts loose on Rhiannon .
Christine and Stevie harmonizing sounds so beautiful! 1:55
❤❤❤❤
John McVie: "We're about to make a video for one of the most popular, most famous, classic rock songs in music history....I better put on my best cut-off denim shorts for this one"
@@helenmcguinness4577 have you been there? or it is just one of your little ...dreams!?
John can do whatever he likes
..And make sure to not to button my shirt at all!
I think they were Christine's..
Stevie Nicks has something interesting to say about this video as it was originally part of a movie of them performing different songs and interviews in between. She mentions the clip was just them practicing in a rehearsal hall and their was nobody in the seats. It wasn't meant to be an official video for the song. It was just filming a practice as they were probably getting ready to go out on a tour and wanted material to review. Probably why John is just wearing shorts. Thank god they had some decent recording of their amps and mics going on. Stevie just shrugged her shoulders when told how much play the clip was getting all over the world. Really goes to show how on top of their game they were at that time period, especially Stevie.
Jesus, Stevie’s voice 😘 perfectly imperfect, like crushed velvet ❤
They don’t make them like Stevie anymore... simply brilliant in all her beauty and lyricism 💕
❤
❤️ Fantastic
I mean not that Cardi B and Kanye West aren't just a prized addition to music lol
I've always loved her
Lauren Ruth ward. Listen to her, she embodies Stevie and is such a feminist icon!!
Best live version I’ve ever heard!!!!
I agree. Stevie is AMAZING x
I disagree, Spody. In Chicago 2011 Stevie doesn’t reach the high notes any more, which of course isn’t surprising. Also I much prefer the original line-up…
Agree 100%
Nothing comes close, the energy is unrivalled.
@@simonbischof7561 5.38 onwards... Stevie is just giving it all....
It's so rare that a moment like this in time comes together, especially with bands from the 70's. You can see Mick knows it's about to happen and then it happens and Stevie is probably not even aware it did because she's gone somewhere else during that time. I feel so privileged to see and hear it.
Excellent comment.
I saw the same thing. Mick knows it is a special moment that might not happen ever again
OMG!!!! That was incredible!!!!
We truly need an upgraded audio of this video 😭 it’s my favorite live version. Incredible
Which concert is this from? I know a guy and remixing concerts is what he does. Don't know if he'd be interested or not?????
Test for the Old Grey Whistle Test
For sure 🥹
One of the best Vocalist of all time. Male or Female. She's still going strong today. Go Girl.
Sorry its not one of the best its the best. The Queen
@@originalnewyorker5833 Ann Wilson of Heart wants a word with you. If you can move someone like Robert Plant to tears, you know you're special. Also, Stevie's voice isn't that good anymore but Ann's still sound great.
Maybe not even best in fleetwood mac but one of the best ever for sure
@Hare Brahs lol
I
This is the absolute best version of the song. Breathtaking.
Absolutely
you havent seen the rehearsal of this song, was absolutely brilliant,so much passion, but youtube took it down, dont know why
@@TheSharkyoz isnt that the same version as this ? Sadly I can't recall, but i thought this was the same rehearsal video that was taken down from another channel cause of copyright. They just made it official here?
I know. Super cool. Heh
@@TheSharkyoz isn't this the rehearsal?
For anyone not born before 2000, what you're seeing here is one of the greatest singers on the planet, taking an otherwise good but not great song and driving it to be one of the best ever by sheer force of will. This performance should be linked as an example in the Wikipedia definition of "Legendary".
Wish i was alive in the 70's to see this amazing band in their prime
Me too.
@@aureliatahy3820 me too, I'm a 14 year old that loves their music and others my age have never heard of them
Kadi Davis that’s the exact situation I’m in now. I’ve introduced their music to my friends but none of them really like the music
@@aleyahmontanez4774 Yup same...my one friend said that their songs are weird but I really like them
It was an incredible journey;Like It Was A Whole Other Life!Kudos To The &0's!Thank God I Was There!
One of the greatest live versions of any song I've ever heard.
Happiest drummer I've ever seen
I think he is probably as as high as a kite.
It’s insane how good this version of this song is holy moly
RIP Christine….a true legend …
Nice to know every time I play this video you come alive again !
you may have your ladies confused
Best era for music in history 70,s 80,s can’t b beat.
And 90's
you can add 60's but yeah, best period. Point
One of the best rock performances of all time
LA enjoy your ocean oasis!
When Stevie rips it up at the end I just go "wow, fucking wow"!! What a vocal perforamance! I wonder when they recorded that did they all turn to each other and say "well that's one for the history books"!
Ahhhhhaarrrrggghhh this is so damn good. The end of this song always gives me goosebumps, anytime music comes up in conversation I ALWAYS recommend this song to everyone. Rhiannon live 1976, one of the best live vocals you will EVER hear.
Christine is so missed!!!
Some powerful vocals in there,boy she can sing
I could watch that performance every day of my life. so unbelievably powerful.
Stevie at the end of this is legendary. Love her. ❤
Stevie Nicks, man...what a national treasure.
❤ AGREE 👍
