You can get this version of this song on "the very best of fleetwood mac cd" Lindsay Buckingham originally released this song back in 1984 on the Go Insane album. It was originally faster though.
This is such a powerful performance! I have to admit that when I first heard the song it wasn't my favorite on the album... but it has grown into one of my absolute favs! I can't play it just once and will often listen to it 3 or 4 times in a row... it still doesn't compare to Stevie singing Gypsy or Landslide.... but they have SUCH incredible musical chemistry and they both bring this smoky depth to the music that is timeless.
Here I am looking around on YouTube and I stumble upon this around midnight by sheer chance. Now it is 2:30am and I am still watching this and listening on headphones. This is a staggering performance.
If you want to die then please, off yourself. If you haven't the brains to understand that your thinking is absolutely wrong and unhealthy then please, remove yourself from the gene pool.
I didnt know this was on the Dance DVD. This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. He definatly sings with more emotion than anyone ever.
This is from a reunion tour done in 1997 called The Dance. This particular cut is one of the best versions he has ever done. Check out the rendition of Tusk where they have the USC Trojans marching band in for backup..
that could be true she wrote silver springs about him thats way she was screaming at him at the end of the song at this concert check it out it gives me the chills
It was not a brief affair, they were in a serious relationship for years, starting from the early 70's. By the time of Mirage, they were already split for about 5 years, but you can tell they still share a connection even till this day.
I know they were in a relationship from like 70-76 but after they broke up the rumour was they hooked up again briefly around the Mirage time and Lindsey wrote this song about it.
The man is so talented. My Dad was a pianist. He practiced daily for hours and hours at a time... for years. You got to know how much effort and time it takes for him to get on stage and do his songs. It is awesome to think about and very inspiring.
In his Gift Of Screws tour, he actually plays the song the way it was originally made on the self entitled album. Never thought he would do it. Maybe on the upcoming Mac tour he could do the same with "Big Love"?
That's too bad. The original performance of this song sucks hard. This version added so much more aggression, tension, power and drama. It's also a very good display of his sheer awesomeness with a guitar. Like Mark Knopfler, Lindsey Buckingham never utilized a pick in his playing.
And if you take a minute to actually do some research on Lindsey Buckingham, you'll learn that he never uses a pick live, PERIOD, which brings me back to my original point and leaves me wondering just what yours was.
If you have a chance, catch Lindsey on his current "Gift of Screws" tour, I caught him in STL, and his performance was off the charts, singing better and rocking harder than he has in years. His live guitar playing was jaw-dropping, so eccentric, unique and emotional. Truly among the best ever, will this guy ever get the recognition due him?
its like everytime I hear this song , I am in a medieval dream , he has talent to make us imagine a world beyond words , pure art ,, youre great Lindsey !!
Whenever great guitarists are mentioned, you never hear the name Lindsay Buckingham brought up, but clearly, this guy is among the best that ever picked up the instrument.
I believe lindsey's playing a rick turner custom renaisance, played through a roland syn/enhancer that tightens up the tones sharply--I remember Lindsey describing the set-up a few years ago in a mag.
It's official...I now have a new favorite video on YouTube. What a PHENOMENAL musician. I think I have watched this 500 times now and I get goosebumps every time.
Holy fucking god... what an utterly awesome version of this song.. Lindsey Buckingham is a hugely hugely underrated talent ; as a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer. The guy has it all. Remember that, he can do it ALL.
It doesn't matters if this is a better or a worst version...what matters is the extraordinary vocal and guitar work of Lindsay in this song...any doubt that it's brilliant??
This is a great re-working of this song! I like what he did with "Trouble" too! The eighties versions were both cool, but these new versions both give the songs some edge and help them age well!
What I find most amazing is that for the past month since I first found this clip, only 3,000 or so new views have accrued for a paltry total of over 18k. This video should have appeal for anyone on YouTube who is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, or lover of masters of any or all 3. Lindsay Buckingham peaks as writer and performer in this video. Was the '84 overproduced version when originally released the cause of this masterpiece passing under the radar? This should be classic status.
I think the overproduction of this piece the first time around was indeed the reason it was passed over. I think this is one of the reasons Buckingham was sort of passed over until the last few years. I agree with the rest of your assessment as well. Fantastic piece and performance!
The way he made this song is soooo cool. Espicaly with the fact that he never got any training or does not know how to read notes of any kind. Neither do I.
Last night was my first time ever listening to this song, and I replayed it over and over into the wee hours of the morning. The song is so moving and brilliantly crafted, and that guitarplay is mesmerizing. I love it.
I think you're right, this is way better than the original studio version... Also same thing for Big Love. These songs are not to be played with a disco sound.
Everyone always talks about Stevie, but here is the person that made Fleetwood Mac...yes Stevie can sing, but Lindsay sings and plays one of the best guitars in music. Very underrated talent; one of the best solo performances I've ever seen!!
I used to see him try out new work in Maui in 1976 at LeTeuts in Lahaina and the feel of this performance was what we all felt the nights he was there. Lyndsey is still the best at giving his work 110%. A great guy as well.
I agree, Kferret ... I was 15 when I saw this on VH1, the complete "Dance" concert, and within the month I had purchased his entire discography, not just Fleetwood Mac, but also his solo records ... because I was so stunned by that level of physical committment to "getting the sound right." And that fingerpicking style ... AWESOME!
I tell you what. I am a die hard heavy metal and death metal fan but this is my all time favorite accoustic performance. This song has so much emotion coming out of the guitar and his vocals just add to the greatness of this song.
Mind Blowing !!!!!!
