Fleetwood Mac - Stand Back - Live in 1987

[sdluam09]

that was a show right there. how cool

[TheAttackOfMusic]

I love the beginning <333

[lennomenno]

I know I surely would have looked if she walked by...

[Dawnmariegrasso]

stevie is an inspation to me i want to quit drugs and drinking and dump the losers i hand around

[ruisryan]

I'm sorry, I love that it took two guitarists to replace Lindsey. But, I support Stevie in all things. Even that hair.

[JesusFreak494]

@ruisryan lol i much more liked the 70's hair on her

[lovethemac1]

can you get this dvd of the concert anywhere? although i miss lindsey, it's still great. any fleetwood mac is great music and it brings back so many memories.

[LittlePikachu]

Damn I was born in the wrong decade.

[chat099]

The synthesizers were played on the record by Prince.

[thelurker25]

@chat099 he actually played more than one thing on this song, but they only used the synth bass part (he apparently did not play the main synth riff). He performed his part on the Jupiter 8.

[sefrims1]

Is there some type of filter on this vid to make it cloudy??

[ThereCanBeOnly2112]

@sefrims1 : There is indeed a filter on this video. It's called "1987."

[sefrims1]

@ThereCanBeOnly2112 hahahaha cute..u got me there..rock on Stevie 

[Ri5004]

stand back

[homey32100]

Stevie has some real nice lips in this video , Real nice .

[gustilandiaa]

FLEETWOOD MAC IN ARGENTINA, NOW PLEASE!!

[JaiBlueCave2]

@gustilandiaa OH THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER DREAM OF MINE FULFILLED! Imagino un show en el Luna Park!!!

[gustilandiaa]

@JaiBlueCave2 it would be awesome! sorry for my english, is very poor :( but I love Fleetwood Mac and I dream them in buenos aires!

[JaiBlueCave2]

@gustilandiaa No te hagas drama, se entiende perfectamente! Suerte y espero que nos reunamos el día que venga Fleetwood Mac! Saludos desde Pompeya

[MrLopega]

Y Linseyd Bukhingam??????????????

[MDCSWildcats86]

@MrLopega He dropped out before the tour, not to return until the 1993 one-off and 1997 reunion tour.

[thelurker25]

@MDCSWildcats86 he actually came back a few times in some of the 1990 shows.

[amilheim]

I need a little sympathy.

[sefrims1]

@amilheim me too

[LtStone1]

execution start of the song is perfect

this my friends IS a live band

[amilheim]

@LtStone1 - you got that right! I felt like dropping a pill and rollin' all night long.

[budmangt2]

when she smiles at 1:40 the cute adorable Stevie look comes out when she was only 17...oh how i love this woman

[Teskue]

I miss this music, it's nice to be able to come here and go back in time.

[beeepizzle]

Stevie looks pretty coke'd out here...

[martock36]

@beeepizzle So WHAT is your point. Ahem! How would you know. Indulge?

[looneytunes372]

GOD I LOVE HER SO MUCH

[Sheanicky]

This is by far One of the Best versions of this Amazing song! I just wish someone would post her performance on Saturday Night Live of Stand Back in 1983! It was Incredible!

[SuperBnichols]

shes so pretty

[forfaka]

I saw her many years ago at Spartan Stadium in San Jose which was her home town. She was fire up, inspired, powerful and the crowd was on fire as well especially when she did this. I will never forget it.

[efsq]

damn look at those lights

[lindalou8120]

Guitarists are Rick Vito and Billy Burnett, they joined after Lindsey Buckingham left.

[billybadassguitar]

who is that playing guitar he look so familiar.

[kyegirl2001]

Though i still can't get used to Fleetwood Mac playing Stand Back. It just always looks wrong (especially two years ago!) with old Mick and John bobbing away to a synth. haha...

[kyegirl2001]

Oh Rick. *sigh* Now there's a man who would've treated her kind....

[Hollywoodsteve]

The Tango in the Night Tour was awesome!!!

[nwlman]

this is nicks worst period, the hair, and sound was all wrong

[mscubana]

I'm totally in love with the synthesizer riff.

[HandigeHarry010]

@mscubana The synthesizer riff was specially made for Stevie Nicks by Prince. Played by a great keyboard player (Christine McVie)... the result is of course, excellent.

[Ri5004]

@mscubana go christiene Mcvie !

[MrFredddddddy]

@mscubana we can thank Prince for that magic!

[OARSSANTOS]

desde Venezuela se le recuerda con mucho cariño son una verdadera referencia en los 80

[jcrewcat]

Why can she hardly move? She went from dancing all crazy during this song to just standing there twirling her hands.

[brchitwo]

@jcrewcat Klonopin!



[Venu337]

@jcrewcat you must be a j lo or beyonce fan> this is MUSIC not a performance

[jcrewcat]

@Venu337 Ummmm...no. But thanks for ASSuming. And Stevie herself has called herself a performance artist. And then she goes on to say "perfomance artists" never retire. It was when she was talking about Beyonce, someone else along the lines of the TRL J. Lo line.

[kyegirl2001]

@jcrewcat These were the Klonopin years that turned her into a zombie. By the end she could barely think through the fog.

[GREGMCKEE]

I love this version!!!! Gotta say though, seeing Christine pounding out the synthesizer just makes me miss her more!!!

[SuperstarX]

I saw them on this tour, one of the best concerts in that year.

[rocky4432901]

Rocky Radio....... Stevie Nicks is going for the Dolly Parton hair due look.  What this, no Lindsey Buckingham??? Fleetwood is not Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey!!

[1jetdrvr]

@rocky4432901 Absolutely!

[teeahtate]

Real music!

[The096757]

the eric estrada look-a-like and that black back up woman did not belong with stevie.

[sundancekid726]

2:41 gotta love Vito pointing to Burnette

[sundancekid726]

2:31 John is digging the floor camera

[sundancekid726]

2:59, Stevie is the original fist-pumper

[brchitwo]

Awwww, Klonopin Stevie

[sundancekid726]

I have a feeling that Mick, Christine and John hated playing this. However, Burnette and Vito look like they are having the time of their lives.

[SuperDrJeckyl]

@sundancekid726 Good call. Burnette looks like he's enjoying Stevie coming up beside him.....can't blame him.

[54beulahmae]

@sundancekid726

It totally looks that way (except Mick)--but I saw Fleetwood not too long ago and they still do this song...at every show..so hopefully they love it like I do!

[MonacoBlast]

Stevie on Klonopin.

[fucheduck]

@MonacoBlast the drummer's not "BIG hair" he must've taken too much of that pharm crap with his long island tea.

[MonacoBlast]

@fucheduck I never said shit about the drummer since I got my dick cut off 10 months ago. If you have the means you'll take whatever it takes.

[rwcbanzai]

Cool, my first break Up song... what regrets...thx 4 sharing... ; D

[rwcbanzai]

Cool, my first break Up song... thx 4 sharing... ; D

[jfranciskeus]

just gotta see her live. been a long time.

[Brickbattery]

needs moar Christine McVie butt shakin'

[KLM1954]

Stevie Nicks is more than a singer - she is a PRESENCE! She just commands a stage.

[MrStudley3]

ultimate rock goddess-best voice-sexiest gal ever

[bigblockelectra]

how did they get the gated reverb live? i thought that was only a studio effect

[caddop22]

Stevie is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[riverlioness]

I hum this song at the DMV : "...standing in a line..."

[BrokenneckYgor]

originally written for a headache remedy advt

[laurenlovesmissy]

i want her OUTFIT.

[Remeez1000]

pores rising song!

[LionLaRonda]

I'd like it better if Lindsey Bucking ham was there

[bigfukinbez]

@LionLaRonda

he was there didnt u see him ????? :S

[krisfrankie]

Stevie is absolutely mesmerizing!!!!

[caddop22]

Her eyes are blank when she sings, and it is beautiful......

[danelsons]

Fell asleep meny a night looking at her poster on my way. Wow I think I'm in love with Stevie

[cdasa005]

Gorgeous. That's how I describe Stevie Nicks. She looks amazing here. And sounds awesome. Love this song, one of my favorites. That hair was typical of that decade. I was 16 in 1987, that is how we styled it. My oldest daughter jokes that our hair had its own zip code. Maybe, but we thought it was cool.

[disneyExplorer1]

oh my, 3:05. i would pay BIG money to have stevie nicks stand that close to me.

it'd have to be one of those few times in my whole life where no one could coax me to sing "stand back"

[19porkchip60]

so beautiful as always

[gasdorf]

tampax tampax ...in the middle of room i dont feel for you

la la la la laaaaaahhhh

tampax tampax

all right all right

[justinwohlfert]

The ten people that disliked this need to stand in a line and get kicked lol i love it shes beautiful and wonderful no matter what

[catlover795]

this is so good.

[catlover795]

@thewhoissuperb24, you are right Taylor Swift is just a little spoiled girl brat with a guitar, this lady can really sing, her hair was quite nice for that style era, she was just beautiful, she really expresses herself, when she sings, Taylor Swift sings like a hangover.

[IsraelDecoy]

@thewhoissuperb24

There's a huge difference between Stevie and Taylor Swift and that is that Stevie actually has talent....

[RivetingMsPowder]

LOOK AT THAT FACE!!! LISTEN TO THAT SONG!

[thelurker25]

these people who dislike this have no idea what it is like to be "standing in a line"

[KatStevie]

stevie looks beautiful! less than a year after betty forde and she was stunning!.... Rick Vito was gorgeous

[pac3ky]

Love that John McVie and Mick Fleetwood are on this video. Didn't really follow Stevie's solo career at the time, and had no idea they toured with her. Well, I sure love her solo stuff now, and really everything she has ever done!

[Anticyclonic]

@pac3ky This is not Stevie on a solo tour, this is Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night Tour from '87. Stevie sang Stand Back a lot during FM concerts.

[JoshuaTaylor]

Ahh, the plump. ..Klonopin years.... Nearly every close-up redone, all the "fire" all but gone from her voice.... Thank goodness she maid it thru those years....

[Declipse16]

I wish that instead of saying i "like" this video i could say i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE­EE it

[Declipse16]

I have to say Stevie is the only artist that literally gives me chills, there is by far no one else like her, and never will be.

[Servodude1]

Why the Lady Gaga comparisons? I don't quite understand it. Even as worn out as she is from a decade of being at the top, and as edited as this video is (cos it was shot over 2 nights and a rehearsal), Stevie Nicks has way more style in a single glance than some chick (Gaga) who walked on stage after stealing an image, putting done some centimental tea cup and pretending she had a dick as a publicity stunt.

[spacecatsonmars]

@thewhoissuperb24 lady gaga is just a "gimmick" and taylor swift cannot sing, those ladies could sure LEARN quite a bit from miss nicks! stevie always and will rock on!

[EmelieEk77]

Stevie... there's no one like her... and there never will be. I'm 33 and I've been listening to her since I was 6, when "The wild heart" came out. I'm a music freak, to say the least, and I listen to much heavier music these days, but I've never let go of Stevie, I listen to her on a regular basis and she's the only singer who manages to touch something in me, I guess it must be my soul. And for that I love her. She really is something else.

[hangonforyourlife]

Had to get this on concert on DVD as i'd watch the video so many times it wore out.

[Declipse16]

@hangonforyourlife WHERE can i get this concert on DVD? I'm DYING for it!

[rprvidros]

The Great Show ! The best of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks ! I like !

[samsamba08]

I prefer the way she sings it on the record...she just takes the "lazy road" vocally here, doesn't do all the twists and twirls that in my opinion make the song...

[bigsue1223]

I always wanted to be Stevie Knicks! Those losers in her band don't deserve her!

[MisterCrazyLegs]

That voice.....makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Its a thing of beauty, man.

[680540]

@MisterCrazyLegs Sure is.

[reramirez35]

the mac! by far the greatest band ever i love stevie nicks, i saw em in denver a few years back greatest concert ever!

[reramirez35]

the mac and stevie nicks need i say more? fuckn awesome greatest of all times, i saw them in Denver a few years ago far the greatest concert ive ever been too!

[Skyrift]

Synthesizers, neon laser lights, and big hair...

God I loved that era.

[blancman]

@Skyrift you still have all of those today, it's just the music is much crappier then before

[DBCOOPER888]

@Skyrift The 80s got such a bad rap in the 90s. I'm glad it's kind of making a comeback.

[tanybug]

stevie is a goddess... XOXO!!

[HowStillMyLove]

my favorite version of stand back, besides live in chicago - i don't have a favorite song, but i doo have favorite live preformances :D

[mondoshrimpo]

she sounds to be in top form here,,,brilliant performance gives me chills..again.

[KristinKellyrose]

<3 Stevie <3 True Queen of Rock!

[spnellie]

this is music right here! They can keep their new singers cos they ain't got nothing on Stevie!!

[SeerProphet7]

@thewhoissuperb24 I like Taylor Swift but I would have to agree with you.

[redletter2008]

I "loved" this version, and basically everything Stevie did when this video came out in 1988. I was still in my "Stevie can do no wrong" phase of Stevie worship. With time, and more scrutiny, I came to see Stevie more realistically. In the end, I still am a huge Stevie fan. When I do listen to music now, it is generally her's or Fleetwood Mac's. The music they made is so superior to contemporary music it isn't even funny. I hope Stevie provides us all with more music in the future.

[CatsEyes2010]

Two Words.  Absolutely Amazing!

[DocBrewster]

what happened to the video color? its all washed out and faded.

[667neighborofdabeast]

was stevie on cocaine at that stage? (im only 17 and am curious to know more about her from people who were around at that time)

[evrgrnn5280]

@667neighborofdabeast

no, she had just gotten out of rehab about a year before this was filmed.

[Toniehoek]

@667neighborofdabeast As far as I know, she had just quit doing cocaine a year or so before the show.

[EvenZappa]

I like the way Christine McVie enjoys the song by dancing 8-)

[totallytommy]

Fleetwood Mac touring without Lindsey Buckingham is like the Beatles going on without John Lennon: Absolute SIN.

[totallytommy]

@thewhoissuperb24 People arguing over what era has the best music, sound like complete and utter morons. Don't you realize that your parents had the same argument with your grandparents, that you'll be having with your kids? Whatever you grew up with, will be paramount in your life. Plain and simple. It would make more sense to argue about whether the light stays on in your fridge after you close it, than it does to argue over what music is the best.

[thielees]

@totallytommy Exactly! So I put a webcam in our fridge. It will send me a text if the light should come on with the door closed. My music is much better than my kids'.

[martinarg101]

@thewhoissuperb24 The thing is that Stevie has something known as TALENT and whenever she's on stage she has this unique attitude that only a few people have. I love Stevie and I never heard any song by lady gaga or whatever her name is

[delorenzini69]

Isn't she princess Lea from Star Wars????

[reignclaw]

@delorenzini69 ....fuckin oath their both bloody beautiful

[nootaramus]

she wrote this song after hearing little red corvette- very similar chord structure but prince was ok with it- he set up the sequencer which really makes this song. christine didn use a sequencer on this version..and billy burnette and rick vito do a nice job with the intro-

I think they were all high as weasels here but what are concerts for anyway.

a solid A.

and I would lick stevie and christine even today....well yes I would.

[redletter2008]

I am sorry, but this version is simply awful. It is just Mick trying to appease Stevie & horn in on her solo fame by getting her to record this with Fleetwood Mac so he could release it in a way that made him money.

[nytbrd]

@redletter2008 I actually love this version....

[Nightbird346]

This has to be one of her best video's. She looks so hot in this vid! I love Stevie and her music :) .... xxx

[sexykitten0627]

Stevie is just so yummy!

[heelsfantim]

I agree with "thewhoissuperb24"--Stevie Nicks tops ANY currrent female pop/rock "artist" ESPECIALLY those like Lady Guy Guy, FI$HA and SH(TNEY!!!!!!!

[heelsfantim]

@thewhoissuperb24  AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!

[PROFNINES1]

i sat behind her and her posse at an A s game in89 she was drunk as hell but sure looked good as hell shame she got in the twinkies but what a voice makes me want to have sex.

[newt1972]

Billy is a f@#king stooge.

[Everygium]

I was there and it was fabulous

[PeterGriffinShow]

yeah you can tell Lindsay was not playing but he was still doing good did the Vacation (chevy chase) movies and just got done with his solo thing that did good. Fleetwood mac is not just awsome but iconic the harmony is only fleetwood mac. Watch the videos where Stevie and Lindsay are in the same picture there is always 1 looking at the other.

[tickertape82]

Awesome riff at the start!

[DiskoKerry]

WORK IT BITCH! XOXOXO DISKOKERRY

[cootercat486]

I love Stevie, but I always that she had the hardest, coldest looking eyes!

[mallamoozoo]

@cootercat486 That look is called COCAINE!

[cootercat486]

@mallamoozoo You are right! I'd forgotten all about that!

[Skyrift]

First off...you can tell it's a concert from the 80's. The laserlights and the hair!

Secondly...Stevie looks amazing (and still today looks great).

Finally...yes her voice is the subject of debate. Personally I love her voice; You hear a Stevie Nicks song, you KNOW it's her. Most of today's artists within any given genre of music sound alike; You can't tell them apart.

This may not have been her best performance of the song, but I'd still listen to it over most of what's on the radio today!

[SR71BBFLYER]

@Skyrift I love Stevie Nicks voice. It's what MAKES her.

[ritchieification]

She is a Goddess. She doesnt have to move around the stage too much because she knows who she is. Beautiful. She hastnt changed much in 30 years. In her interviews she is always sincere about herself. I love her and her songs!!!!

[youraverageuser]

good stuff!

[sorcerer1975]

OMG i love that fleetwood mac done this with stevie ! TERRIFIC VIDEO !

[pyroteria]

@thewhoissuperb24 Yes, in 70s, she was definitely more beautiful than Cleopatra.

[Flynn625]

She`s the greatest......

love y Stevie.....

[spaceman24]

You can't compare Stevie Nicks to the singers today.

Stevie is in a class by herself.

[tibet25]

@spaceman24Yes,nowadays the present bands suck ;great to see Stevie singing

this good tune with FM along despite Lindsay´s absence.

[Jerkwad152]

Stevie Nicks was a beautiful lady :3

[newt1972]

Billy sucks.

[dave2806]

stevie was built to fit perfectly on the pillion seat of my ducati 900 ss................... amazing how god thinks of every little detail !

[coparamedic]

OMG Stevie you are so perfect!!!!!!!!!!

[CIGARPIGSKIN6]

F GaGa

All Hail Stevie the Gypsy Queen of Rock and Roll!!!

[vhzb2009]

"Stevie" Nicks bella voz y  hermosa la mujer.

[juniorkoops]

miami vice decade

[michaeljohnist]

everytime i hear this song i go into air guitar mood ,a real cracker

[avayatel]

Whos Lady Gaga... please give me a break...!!!!

Stevie rules...

[lennomenno]

Excellent ! This song never gets old..true timelessness..God Bless Stevie for all that she has given to us for all these years.

[ItaliaSmallCock]

no ask your mother. it was like the same trick I used on that cunt I shot my load in her nest thats how her hair got like that.

[outspokengirl]

I fucking love her huge 80s hair!!!!

[vwwarrior]

LOL...I totally wore my hair like that when I was 16.

[RokDAWG1]

@thewhoissuperb24 ....pphhttt...don't ruin Stevie's name by mentioning those jokes in the same sentence with her name.

They CERTAINLY haven't earned the right to be considered anything more than studio tricks

[Chrliesangelsman]

That is an opinion........ I think Stevie looks stunning here. Perhaps you are failing to take into account that her look was VERY MUCH the style in 1987. I think she looks absolutely beautiful...... I agree with "thewhoissuperb24" people can look @ current artists like Lady Gaga (whom I do like) and say: "oh, look how beautiful" but look back @ older styles and think it is awful, but apparently they are just to young to REMEMBER when it was looked at in the same was as today's trends!

@Chrliesangelsman i think she's beutiful here and stunning today :-)
