Stevie Nicks - Rhiannon 1981 Live

[rocklife86]

Is that around the time Robin passed away? Is that why she's more emotional?

[prizm555]

Absolutely sensational.

[BRUHO7]

Awesome! Opptynox.....

[opptynox]

I had the luxury of seeing FM when they couldn't fill a 2500 seat theater. When I first saw this on HBO in 1981, I immediately went out and bought my first VCR, a clangy two piece POS of that ran about $1500. I taped this concert.

It was worth every penny. I get goosebumps when I see this. STEVIE!!! After this show, the band was so impressed with themselves they were backstage saying "What a band! Who was that band?"

[dustinspencer57]

What I wouldn't give to see her perform...especially perform like this. She still performs flawlessly, but this..is just incredible.

[jmorey64]

Just Stevie.....................

[DirtyGoddess]

what a great woman,i saw umm i think it was an unplugged ,a recent one and she's still so good anyway this is my favourite song.

[msbutterflylee]

Yep, this is the one I've been looking for....SWEET

[musicman12able]

beautiful



[polarshiftprophet]

Stevie is best known for her vocals, and of course her beauty ...but above all she needs to be most recognized for her song writing!! This woman has created lyrics, that today, (me)at forty-one years of age, blow me away!!!!! If you listen to Rhiannon, Stevie sings "once in a million years, a lady like her...rises. How ironic!!! Stevie DID rise!! She rose through the drugs, through the broken relationships.. Stevie's will is a will of iron! Stevie is an icon, a legend! Luv u Stevie

[melissa2331]

the most beautiful inspired video of this song

[sactiger]

Pure, raw emotion from Stevie (near the end of the song). OMG, I love her so much...

[TheWestendbandit]

catch her if you can !! ,,

[GoldenShiner1]

you have got to be kidding me. the intro is just flawless !!!!!! jesus. have mercy !!!!!!

[CoDsNiPeZ1998]

Most beautiful angelic voice in music. I grew up listening to her thanks to my mom

[armel551]

My reaction to this song is different from Stevie Nicks description. I'm sure we've all met someone we loved that we thought of as one in a million. But that person doesn't feel the same about you. She is as unreachable as the sky. That's what this song means to me.

[Puntkin69]

awesome song always loved this song brings bk some memories

[crazymangoe]

<3

[konfuchsia]

@evrgrnn5280 she's crying because she had a fleeting image of herself as a narcissistic drug addled female peter pan that has discovered that in reality they've lost their looks and their creative process. still, look on the bright side. her outside now matches her inner.

[armel551]

@konfuchsia . Your comment is sad. You must be a very jealous, angry person. Let's look at facts - this performance was from 1981. 30 years later Stevie Nicks is still a wonderful singer and performer. And what's your claim to fame?

[konfuchsia]

@armel551

her voice is shot. she looks hagged and still she can't stay out of the spotlight. ya. that's someone growing old gracefully. euthanize the aged :)

[TheEarl666]

@konfuchsia euthanize you! go listen to lady gaga or some other no-talent that can't sing

[konfuchsia]

@TheEarl666 goodness, fan obsessives can be so sensitive! and truth can be unkind. :)

[TheEarl666]

@konfuchsia You wouldn't know the truth if it stabbed you in the eye with an icepick!

[cunnidvd]

@konfuchsia she has not lost her creative ability only her youthful sexuality and energy. as rock stars go she really isn't all that narcissistic. her outside is better than most at sixty something. you could only dream of living as much as she has. you sound bitter.

[konfuchsia]

@cunnidvd

nothing i have said is without foundation, cunnidvd. I have not denied that nicks was creative. she was a drug addict for many years. she does look like a crone. and one only needs to listen to her in interview and STILL she goes on about the way Buckingham allegedly mistreated her. i once admired her. now her gypsy schtick begins to pall. so you don't like a difference of opinion. here's some advice someone should have given to stevie years ago. get over yourself. :)

[cunnidvd]

Oh yeah BTW. "they've lost their looks and their creative process". Maybe something you said was without foundation. Really Dude get help.

[konfuchsia]

@cunnidvd if by foundation you mean an overweight crone with looks that have been ravaged by years as a coke addict and whose creative process has been reduced to a sad nostalgia act for obsessives like yourself then dude... you're beyond help. :)

[TheEarl666]

@konfuchsia Your mother should look half as good as Stevie

[SOULTRAINJAMES]

@konfuchsia ....DID YOU EVER KICK A MAN, WHEN HE WAS DOWN, ...THINKIN' THAT IT MADE YOU STRONG? JUST A GLIMPSE OF YOUR DIATRIBE TELLS ME SOMEONE TOOK AWAY YOUR LUNCH MONEY WHEN YOU WERE A KID. SOUR GRAPES. IF YOU FEEL LIKE SUCH AN AUTHORITY ON THE CAREER'S OF OTHER'S....CAST US A PAGE FROM YOURS...AS...IF YOU DID HAVE ONE OF MEANING....YOU WOULD BE EITHER TOO BUSY TO CAST ASPERSIONS AT OTHER'S, OR....ALL THE MORE WISER FOR KNOWING JUST WHAT IT IS TO ACHIEVE.."MR. CONFUSCIOUS/CONFUSION"! FFO KCUF

[konfuchsia]

@SOULTRAINJAMES my opinion is free for me to express, soultrainjames. that you and others have a problem with it is not my problem. perhaps it will be easier for you if i say in simple terms that you seem understand it may help. GET. OVER YOUR. SELF. :)

[paulmac63]

@konfuchsia i think it's you who's on drugs mate. What video are you actually looking at that puts her down as being old? She was actually about 33 when she recorded this live clip.

[konfuchsia]

@paulmac63 ya. 33 and it's beginning to show. drugs will have that effect. rock on gold dust woman:)

[samoht1965]

Boahhh....wat 'ne schöne Mucke....und soooo alt!

[jugifu]

Not only would I love to love her...but I do.

[kocnn]

@jugifu are you a vagatarian?

[kocnn]

Respond to this video...  THIS is why millions of us feathered our hair, men and women alike, strange but true

[blameitonmyWildHeart]

The Intro? Fucking amazing. Stevie you are my inspiration. I am naming my first daughter after you :)

[1953bigbud]

The Queen At the Top Of Her Career!

[dapanf7110]

WOW....she is powerful....hail to the Queen.

[TouchAddicted]

its just not the same without the original fleetwood mac musicans =[ its still an amazing perfomance, ill always love you stevie. You are my hero. <3

[metronomic1]

She is totally coked up here.

[vlada729]

No one brought me here, it's just that the song is amazing.

[RisingOmega]

Stevie is just such a classy person and entertainer. Rock on Stevie!!

[CitySkin09]

The pride of Phoenix, Arizona...

[liberalinthedesertaz]

@CitySkin09 thought that was Barry fucking Goldwater.. 

[CitySkin09]

@liberalinthedesertaz -- Wasn't thinking about him. Was thinkin' about Stevie.

[victura100]

yeah she goes to another level at 6:49

[animaze86]

cocaine is a hell of a drug :3

[punkinpudge]

go to version posted by CHris123445. It is by far the best version on here. Buckingham is fabulous and Nicks cutting loose at the 5 minute mark with give you goosebumps. The track is superior to any other

[jhef65]

@punkinpudge I get more goosebumps at 6:49 with this version

[Steffordprawn]

Shivers down my spine.

[rdawsonville]

Who is the piano player? Sounds like Roy Bittan (E Street Band)...

[finoky]

@rdawsonville it is indeed the Professor Roy Bittan

[pandolyn]

@finoky Thanks for he confirmation! The pinnacle of achievement for any non-singer musician is to have a style so identifiable that the song or other artists don't matter. I remember when I first heard "Bat Out Of Hell" I just knew it was the E Street Band playing behind him, largely because of Roy Bittan!

[davethefed]

classy.

[egern22]

wind is like a fart - sky is more like heaven

[529wes]

I like the original recorded version the best... Fleetwood Mac does it seamlessly and Stevie's voice is higher and softer, more girl like. I was a little stunned when I first heard this song over the radio because it seemed to me to be head and shoulders above most of the top 40 stuff at that time. Thanks Stevie...

[sk8ergrlsky]

Why did she change it from "wind" to "sky"? I was wondering if any of you knew.

[tbwbenw]

@sk8ergrlsky "bell" to "prayer" ,,also ,,,,,, she changes alot of her songs , for herself ,,,, keeps things new and fresh

[dfranklinize]

I love Stevie, AND STEVIE LOVES ME TOO! SO SHUT UP!!!

[knight1768]

ooooooooooh stevie God shes beautiful she just makes me feel weak in the knees

[knight1768]

ooooooooooh stevie God shes beautiful

[refk0000]

Hey, atleast they are here and not the 600,000,000 viewer of "Baby"

[Can00uck]

Best rendition of this song !  Have tried to see her in Concert but have had no luck but it still is in my Bucket List ,right at the top! I have been a Fleetwood Mac fan from the beginnng and when she did this it was ok Stevie i'm yours!! ...........she has so much soul and can pull u in to any song she sings Stevie thank You..........You are bloody Amazing!!! Come to Canada soon Please!!

[TheUndertakerIsWWE]

i hate it when Idol fans hear a song performed by a bad singer, but they only heard the performance as it was happening and they don't bother to listen to it again on YT, but they listen to the original and they think the Idol singer is better than the original, the only Idol who can perform a song better than the original is Adam Lambert!

[jonathanaz1967]

I just heard the haley just god awful !!!!!!!!

[TrishaDishaWarEagle]

I still rocked stevie's gypsy look in high school in the early 2000's..a welsh witch never goes out of style!

[fastfeat]

I remember hearing this live on KLOS or KMET in LA. Recorded it to cassette but lost it long ago. Thanks for posting.

[argenies141]

i dont care what people gonna say to me but to me,haleys version is way better

[A5Mag12]

@argenies141 You're an idiot.

[Billie0410]

This goes far beyond a name, although you were gifted. This is a icon to those of us who knows the gypsy that remains,deeply embedded in the spirit. Stevie will alway's awaken the spirit of the gypsy.

[jonescrcarol]

@Billie0410 couldn't agree more!!

[DollHouse25]

Haley sings it better

[zerrissen28]

@DollHouse25 Definitely not... shes good, but nothing is better than the original Stevie

[Vondropz]

@DollHouse25 I'm sorry, but she was around 35 years old here, this was years ago. She is now 63. Have you seen how she still rocks out to this song today? Wonder if Haley will be doing that? I highly doubt it.

Stevie all the way <3 x

[Northerlightz]

Who is Haley? Never heard of her. Anyone who has to cover songs is simple a bar band want to be.

[1461ian]

haley reinhart ought to be up on a murder one charge for what she does to this song

[CallofaNightbird1995]

Omg I cant wait to see her perform on Americas got talent tomorrow night!!! I kno she'll b amazing as always!!

[apresmoisuka]

okay, how many people here have parents who were fleetwood mac or stevie nicks fans and were also named after this song?

[XxMilltaryGunxX0]

my name is Rhiannon i was named after this song



[lobo4159]

@XxMilltaryGunxX0

This is where my daughters name came from!

[spud1252]

@XxMilltaryGunxX0 lol i named my daughter after this song ,and her nickname is rio ,funny but she hates both songs ,one dat when she is older i hope she can love both songs

[98michellesanders]

I have this VHS tape and she does cry during this last performance for this tour and it is very emotional.

[lllburgundylll]

Springsteens piano player - lucky girl, imo!

[ollonois]

who is haley reinhart? I'm from Spain is some singer from a talent show or something like that?

[qm924]

@ollonois yes from american idol



[crazikeed023]

FREE !! CHARLES HAMILTON d-_-b

[rhiannon15767]

im so proud to be named after a goddess, as well as being proud the most beautiful voice i know sings it. i dont think anyone who has rhiannon as their name can say they dont like it. it fits all of us perfectly. its a name for generous, strong opinionated women, & if ur lucky u could be her lover.

[atzilah]

I am sad that haley brought me here. I should have known about a beautiful song like this

[TMadeU4]

Ah-mazing.. as a woman named Rhiannon...i have grown into my name and it fits me very well... Well done...Thank you Mom and Dad, how did you know? And thank you fleetwood mac, I am so proud to carry this name!!!

[Delzx7r]

This is just fucking brilliant!

[draysk]

this song is still great!!!!!!!!!

[lbulaoat]

That song [Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win)] is really straight out of the old Welsh mythology. Rhiannon is the Goddess of Steeds and the Maker of Birds, and her song is a song that takes away pain. When you hear her song, you close your eyes and fall asleep, and when you wake up the pain is gone or the danger is gone and you'll see her three birds flying away. That's the legend. So, whenever I sing the song, I always think of that...

~Stevie Nicks, Music Connection, 1994

[exbf23]

No need to compare like Haley vs Stevie Nicks. Both of them are good. Its a fact that Haley brought it back to life but Stevie Nicks will always be the original.

[NaomiEvangeline]

Researching the meaning of the name Rhiannon brought me here. But I did see Haley sing this song. She did alright.

[swellofthespeakers]

thumbs up if you don't give a fuck how you got here but you're glad you did!

[cunnidvd]

thumbs up if Stevie Nicks brought you here

[Bazuzeus]

@cunnidvd I was here for Mike Monighann... (su**** d*** head ! Of course everybody's here for Stevie... what else ? Do you wonder if people go to a fast food to eat ?)

[cunnidvd]

@Bazuzeus I sincerely apologize if I offended you with my stupidity. if you read past comments you would understand. but when you deeply hate yourself it is much more satisfying to just lash out at someone. have a good life dickhead.

[tbwbenw]

@cunnidvd Stevie always brings me (back) here ,,,

[oldiron2007]

@cunnidvd you bettcha

[SterlingRe]

Stevie at the peak of her career and sounding phenomenal, as does the whole band. Great video!!!

[Zoombobwhey]

This makes me cry when I see her tear up at the end.

[Deandip12]

Rhiannon was a character in a book that she read in an airport. This song is the fruit of that inspiration.

[budmangt2]

32 people are dead from the neck up

[stbnrojas]

HALEYYYYYYY REINHARTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! <3

[CelsoCelso88]

Such a powerful performance, simply spellbinding! Stevie is channeling the Welsh witch herself!

[dantedredrazer]

i love this song but can someone explain to me the meaning of it? who is rhiannon and why did she make a song about her and whats good at about rhiannon?

[sleeksalmon]

@dantedredrazer She's a witch.  Now listen to the words and you'll get the story....luv this story.

[fellud]

Prof. Roy Bittan and Stevie is a combo I would pay anything to see live. Amazing

[TheLilmall]

I don't care who Haley is, she can't hold Stevie Knicks microphone and NO her version and no remake version of an original classic is better. American Idol is Karaoke, folks.

[TheLilmall]

Nicks. 

[TYPOQ]

WHO IS HALEY REINHART?.. I mean I know who Stevie Nicks is but.. damn..

[gladiatorfilm]

@TYPOQ Haley appeared on American Idol singing this song. Her rendition is darn close to Stevie's Nicks.

[fsriders]

Rhiannon was a welsh witch

[gladiatorfilm]

Stevie Nicks= Making modern day teenage boys wishing they could go back in time. 

[liberalinthedesertaz]

@gladiatorfilm I wouldn't want to be a teenager back then tho lolz. I am 33 so I was around 5 when this came out



[LHcountryboy1]

My Stevie's ON in thissin' {castin' her witchee--Speells} ya'll look out now, hearrr??? =D

[crenge]

Who is Rhiannon ? Just woundered 

[XxWeccaxX]

@crenge A character in a story. A witch

[crenge]

@XxWeccaxX Thanks!

[knight1768]

STEVIE IS AS BEAUTIFUL TO ME NOW AS WHEN SHE DID RUMORS,SHE IS TIMELESS,AS HER UNIQUE VOICE,I WAS ALWAYS SO JEALOUS OF BUKINGHAM AND IM BETTER LOOKING,LOL I WOULD HAVE DREAMED JUST ONCE TO BE HER KNIGHT,AND SWEEP HER OFF HER FEET,ALWAYS STEVIE YOUR GREAT,MY BEST THOUGHTS CURTIS

[ChrissieBana]

@knight1768 Yeah, ok Lindsey, I kind of understand her for being with him... But Mick Fleetwood? What the hell did she saw in him?! Maybe he was all nice and sensitive with her, but he's really damn ugly.

[XxMafiaSoljaxX]

@ChrissieBana Love is truly blind and who are you to judge anyone about who someone else loves? 

[ChrissieBana]

@XxMafiaSoljaxX I am God. And I'll judge anyone whoever I want, Captain Serious.

[Rcasca1]

I've got to say.. The only thing prettier than Stivie is her voice... I don't care who brought her to this point..

[INF3darkgreen]

Once in a million years, a lady like Stevie Nicks arises <3

[hamms64]

steamy nicks

[rhiannonwalsh]

Was named after this :)

xo

[omanmc]

fleetwood mac fan!

[MoTown434]

I liked haleys version, but nothing touches this!

[charleyfarleyish]

for my wee granddaughter rhiannon

[kocean1]

Great singing-great songwriting-such energy the whole package. Performers like her do not come along often. Thanks for all the memories Stevie. " Wouldn't you love to love her"

[muzicluva0]

no actually haley reinhart never brought me here, i am here because i love good music

[1461ian]

i dont have the misfortune to stay in the states as i inhabit the other part of this universe called the real world ive never heard of this bint and if she has to do cover versions of classics then she obviously has no talent

[motorhead1309]

Best female rock singer of all time.God how the music industry could do with this era back again.

[rocky4432901]

Rocky Radio........ This is cool in Full Screen

[agram420]

Stevie Nicks, Mmmmhhh! Mmmhh! Mmh! FTW!

[godmathias]

are you kidding me. haley reinhart? show some respect morons.

[XxWeccaxX]

@INF3darkgreen HELL YES

[Henrique7699]

Stevie Nicks is really incredible... with all emotions and feelings... and makes this song great and happy... that´s all.

[kyle96katie08]

i love how she starts tearing up at the end... so amazing...

[INF3darkgreen]

so beautiful i could cry!!! wow is all i can say!!

[bigandbuilt20m]

I like Haley Reinhart's rendition better, with all due respect to Fleetwood Mac.

[MrKeko106]

es una hermosa cancion... i like

[RisingOmega]

Stevie is such a classy woman in every way. I just love her.

[arockmom]

sorry guys, but I bet Stevie Nicks puked when she heard Haley sing this song..she shouldn't have even attempted that song..the girl can't sing..thank God they booted her !!

[xxcrazymoe]

@arockmom ummm, Haley had no choice, it was Jimmy's pick for her to sing?

[bee55428]

@arockmom she can sing , and she did a good job , even stevie said so, so please just STFU!

[arockmom]

@bee55428 ..my opinion, and if you think you can make me stfu you're more ignorant than you act..I get so sick of all the idiots on here starting fights over a comment made on here..I live in america and the last time I checked we still had freedom of speech..so you grow the fuck up ..have a nice day

[SnowConesAreDaShiz73]

@arockmom

Go to hell.

Mkaii?

[MultiWebweaver]

I wish Myrtal Hill loved Darren as much as Rhiannon from the Great Fleetwood Mac

[1461ian]

who is haley reinhart never heard of her???

[chloesunako3108]

@1461ian OMG NOOOO I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T KNOW. SEARCH FOR HER RENDITION OF RHIANNON.

[bigandbuilt20m]

@1461ian Haley Reinhart just finished 3rd place on american idol. Look her up on Wikipedia and watch her performances on you-tube.

[Keruaran]

The one and only Stevie Nicks.

[Keruaran]

As soon as Stevie sang the first note I though, My God, she's brilliant.

[mythtree]

It is really, really hard to sing this crying...doves take flight, watch her take off, rising, flying high, higher into the night

[mujaku]

Talk about SOUL. I am in ecstasy. There is love and grace. This heart is giving birth to wings.

[bryanpaul2010]

Same here...Haley made me go here....I hope they'll gve her a contract ASAP..I want more of HALEY!

[jerseypride45]
