  • This is amazing! Gives me goosebumps :) x

  • Her voice catches you and doesn't let go.... It always takes me away..... Music is truly is a driving factor in my life....

  • IMO demo's capture better the real emotion in a song and the voice of the artist, Stevie is timeless and always beautiful.

  • Downloadable??? Everything on Youtube is downloadable... Trust me.

  • What type of electric Piano is that? Sounds like a fender rhodes

  • Did you edit it so the piano would kind of..."pulsate"? I love it.

  • Can someone please tell me what kind of piano this is? Rhodes? Wurlitzer? I can't figure it out. Thanks.

  • I've always loved the original Fleetwood Mac version of this song, but this is just so hauntingly beautiful. It moves me in a way that the original does not.

  • very nice

  • stevie u kno i really love u right? i wanna dance witchu...(smile)

  • stevie u kno i really love u right?

  • I can never listen to the album version the same way again.

  • Such emotion. We love you, Stevie! Keep on rocking; you're a true legend.

  • pretty :) pretty :) this song is inspiring!

  • Thanks for the download link too! :)

  • i LOVE the piano versions of her songs, like the piano version for Rhiannon is amazing too, gosh almost better than the origianl

  • She's was a Beautiful Gypsy.

  • So long as there are recordings from this era of Rock, the music will never die. Otherwise, we are done.

  • Thumbs up if Perez brought you here!

  • fav song

  • Comment removed

  • wow

  • how do i download??

  • You're like an angel, this song, when I was 12, touched my soul, as this demo does today. If I were asked what an angel is I would have to say Stevie singing this song is the universe sending us an angel.

  • LOVE THIS VERSION OF GYPSY JUST LIKE RHIANNON

  • wow. this is great! I'm blown away.

  • i want those pix!! lol

  • her best song

  • this is like listening to her thoughts!

  • This is my all-time favorite song in the whole world. It's haunting and beautiful to hear it, pure and melancholy like this. It has a sadness and it's lovely. Thanks for posting!

  • This is a great tune. Thanks for posting.

  • moving

  • What a beautiful demo version...

  • please please please resubmit the link for this song......

  • @kicksomething

    I updated the link.

  • Almost cried watching this version! thank you so much for posting this! I must download this, know where I can get it?

  • There's a download link up to the right.

  • this version is quite haunting

  • from just saying how you feel

  • pride stops you

  • and you sit there watching and I wonder why you do

  • and it all comes down to You....and you know that it does....but you wont answer, you never do.......you watch but wont help, so........I am what I am because you never cared really, never did.........

  • What a song... love it every time!!!! Great version!! :)

  • I absolutely love this version..perhaps more than the released. Great choice of pics. I could watch this over and over. Thanks for this!!!

  • can someone please give me the chords for this?

  • @miladymaia agreed!

  • I Love this song more than the finished version. This video is full of so much love that I have been unable to find in other ones that have attempted it. Thank you:)

  • " lighting crash, maybe once maybe twice .... " ahhh simply beautiful

  • stunned.

  • Just a Wish

  • awesome version!!! this is my all time favorite song!! can someone tell me how to download this thank you

  • That's all Stevie singing and playing on a keyboard and it's all right there.

    The finished version is beautifully done of course but the Essence of the song is all in this demo.

  • @BansheeSiren You're so right. As with most of her demos the essence of the song is within the simplicity of just her and her piano playing. Always made we wonder why people felt that Lyndsey was the genius behind her songs, because as many fans have said, many of the demos are better than the recorded version!

  • : ) He happily took the credit and then when Stevie left Fleetwood Mac all the beautiful haunting new songs with that distinctive style were Stevie Nicks songs and we didn't hear a peep from Fleetwood Mac.

    I always thought Christine McVie was pretty special too.

  • I agree. Lyndsey's difficulty was his jealousy of Stevie's genius with songs. He thought he was the greatest. But, as more of her songs came out, he learned it was Stevie and Christie who the fans loved. Stevie went solo, she proved her genius to the music industry. Today, she is the Goddess of Rock N Roll and beauty of song. She is a phenomenal icon and will always shine brighter than anyone else she goes on or off stage with. She is humble and loves her fans as much as she loves her life!

  • stevie is one of a kind, living legend

    imagine all of the other wonderful songs she probably has written that have not been recorded; hopefully she releases another solo cd - then we'll have 10-12 more songs!

  • Wonderful Stevie

    She is simply gorgeous

  • Reply to sublimelysunkssd and, in particular, pennymusicMama......

    Some of them can't play by ear.

    No reason for your comments, though, pennymusicMAma.....

    If they can play by sight, I could show them the chords to this song that your "Pro" training has bought you in about 5 minutes. Piano, as you're referring to, is math.

    Beethoven played, by ear, for a while. Then he was deaf.

    Then, he played by feel........

    Like Stevie does in this song......

    I dismiss you, MAma

    I encourage you, Sunk.

  • reminds me of helping my teenage girlfriend get dressed..she was beyond beautiful...

    she was beautiful and so clever and really smart...so intelligent........her skin was soft and tasted

  • Reply for sublimelysunkssd, I could, perhaps. Am pro. pianist. Can you play 'by ear', do you understand

    chords at the piano?? Piano part is rather simple - some of best compositions are!

  • wow so great this version.......... nowadays they don t play this kinda music anymore.............

  • "i have no fear.. i have only love" i love this, i love stevie. :))

  • I got chills when I heard this.I love it.

  • Can anyone give me the chords for this?? I have been working on figuring this out, but it doesn't seem correct...

    Help! Please.... I need to be able to play this!

  • LOVE THAT DANCING SOOOOOO MUCH!!! i CAN SPEND all day and nite doing that...

  • Thank you SmashedJohn for posting this and the mp3!!! This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I love the studio version for it's mystery and drama, but this version is pure and raw and just STEVIE. I LOVE it thank you thank you!!!

  • This is for you DaviD Eward White only song you sang while you were getting ready to go out. I love u il;l see you one daY again.

  • unbelievable

  • Beautiful... I love this version! Thanks Ramblin66man, for sharing this gorgeous video with me.

  • This is so beautiful, I've listened to this version so many times in the last two days. Theres so much emotion in this...i think it takes on new meaning when you hear this version!

    thanks so much for this!

  • incredible..

    the simplicity of this here totally emphasizes her passion and the very song itself..

    the emotion is here, it somehow got lost on/in the studio version..

  • it's fascinating how this version is just so different from the version which has been released. many people would simply overhear the dramatic and tragic chords used in the mirage version.

  • Phenomenal.

  • This is real passion.

    She died for our sins in each and every song...

  • now, i don't think I'd go THAT far...but, I LOVE Stevie Nicks, and this is an excellent version of the song...

  • Comment removed

  • Oh Stevie, once in a million years a lady like her...rises.

  • i'm obsessed with how many versions of this song there are, and how they are all so different, but all so fascinating.

  • I love singing her songs...I don't have that husky quality she's got, though...who does?

  • just wow!

  • i think stevie is always a gypsy always was and always been...u can see the way she dressed...even today...she alwayssss wear long skirts ..

  • this kinda vioce ..we will never hear of have again..period.!! she is timelessssss..

  • great ++++++++++++

  • My favorite song. I love this version. The most beautiful thing I've ever heard...

  • Excellent :)

  • This is a song that reminds me of a friend I let down. What they will never know is that they will remain in my heart...forever.

  • Beautiful! Love it...thx for posting

  • Is amazing how just a piano and her voice can make this sound so beautiful.

  • Comment removed

  • and she sounds so magical.

  • The song Gypsy is about Stevie herself, not her friend Robin.

  • Comment removed

  • Incredible how beatiful are her songs in demo's version, basically only her voice and her immense talent.

  • Awesome! It sounds like a requiem. And it really sort of is. Its about her deceased friend Robin.

  • Absolutely fabulous version. Pure, clean and plainly elegant...Thanks for posting. SUPERB

  • This is my absolutely favorite rendition of this song. I wish this was the one that made the albums. Don't get me wrong, I love them all, but something about this just gets me...heart and soul. Love it...

  • I have a requiem feeling when I listen to this.

  • wow, thanks for the download. i admit, that version got me pretty choked up. i like Lindsey's production of her songs, and it's hard to say if I would like the song having only heard this demo.

  • WONDERFUL!!! PammieKay

  • This song has always been a beautiful song,but i think this slower tempo really sets the mood on which the basis of this was written.If you like this i insist that you all listen to "Storms working demo" There is a little talking in the begining but it is great.

  • beautiful

    you

    kisses

    Marcella 5*****

    :)

  • that was great!!!

  • "Lightning strikes, maybe once,maybe twice!" - your 'gypsy'/Lady. - Penny

  • thank you so much <3

  • Hahaha WTFFFFF

  • Well, this is the only somng that my best freind and roommate ever sang while getting ready to go out as he breezed through my long hallway and yes hes gone unlikley lightning will strike again but i wont forget how much you taught me a friend stabs you in the front. I love you Sir David Edward White. i will try really try your doe doe head. Timmy Brandt/.. I love u now u know i meant it..ty Miss Stephanie..k now im crying

  • This is beautiful. It's nice to see how and where they built upon the frame of this early version to make the album cut of the song.

  • This version is pretty cool. What the great LB did by adding the guitar solo at the end of the studio version is fantastic. This version is cool as a solitary moment kind of thing.

  • Sweet, simple version of a lush song as sung on the Fleetwood Mac Tango in the Night album, so this is an unexpected surprise! Nice. Nice montage too--very beautiful!

  • Actually, its from Mirage back in '82. TANGO IN THE NIGHT STILL ROCKS!

  • It's on the Mirage album ;)

  • Stevie is a poetic singer,composer,pianist. She studied ballet & dances like a whirling dervish! Stevie-Love, Penny

  • I am just completely speechless...

  • She looks great in those purple pants at 1:00.

  • this is just beautiful -- it really affects me.

    --> thank you SmashedJohn

  • Amazing!!! Thought I had everything of hers. Thanks so much for sharing!

  • Beautiful demo and compilation.

  • Thank you for posting this hauntingly moving demo.

  • And I thought I'd heard everything Stevie ever recorded and made available. This is nothing short of astounding.

  • Cheers to the gypsy in all of us! Right

    Stevie?

  • Thanks again.

  • Unbelievable, if I did not hear it for myself. Sweet,sad,beautiful and haunting...

  • This is so beautiful. I'm in tears.

  • fantastic version!

  • Actually gave me chills........

  • Stunning! This is such a treasure to find as I always thought this song should have been done all soft and subtle like this. Thanks!

  • Beautiful! Strange to hear this rather haunting version and compare it to the upbeat studio version - love that one too.

  • Nice job on this.

  • Thank you Stevie,in my darkest moments you have always eased my heart.

  • It is as though one might open a rare and beautiful music box, and within would play this very song exactly as it is played here.

  • WOW!

  • Thanks for making it downloadable :)

  • i would drink her sweet gypsy tears...

  • ***Beautiful, Beautiful as ever...

  • AMAZING!!!

  • Only she can do it like this. She is timeless and beautiful as always. I love you Stevie.

  • I would like to hear this version live. Would be cool. Lindsey on acoustic guitar, Stevie singing raw.

    Ultimate!

  • There is an acoustic version of this floating around. (It's from a concert for the Heart Association in Arizona that Stevie backs)

  • Thank you.

  • When you find out roq1299 let me know plz! She is my inspiration.

  • brought tears to my eyes thanks the perfect ending to my day

  • how do I download this?

  • To the right of the video there is a box that has info about this video. Click on the words more info (in blue) and you will see the link for an MP3 audio download. TY Smashedjohn!

  • I'm breathless!

  • wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow

  • Her, voice sounds so crisp and clean in this song..

  • Great video and thanks for making the audio available!

  • how do I download this?

  • I love all the pictures in the beginning, it's been 20 years since I saw some of those!

  • This is so underated! she performs it so rarely, and yet, for me, its easily one of her best songs...

  • Hot.

  • Wow, the sound quality of this is great. Awesome. Keep the Stevie vids coming.

  • Thank you so much for sharing! It is soo beautiful! and everytime she sings:"she is dancing away from you now. She was just a wish, she was just a wish. And her memory is all that is left of her now". It makes me cry! because you know she is singin about Robin and her passing, and when she wrote it she wrote: "she is dancing away from me now. She was just a wish, she was just a wis. And her memory is all that is left of her now. I see my gypsy! I see my gypsy!" and it's is soo sad!

  • Is she playing this on her Rhodes piano?

  • This is incredible. Stevie never ceases to amaze me -- and to think, this was just the demo to a great, great song. This demo is awesome in itself!

  • So beautiful

  • I love the way she sings ~You see your gypsy~ in this one. She sounds like she's giving the song a little bit of a darker Cyndi Lauper song. It's bittersweet sounding. The montage created for this song would be a great actual music video I think.

  • Wow! You did it a GREAT job on this. Amazing pics and audio. Thanks for sharing!

  • i wish so much she would do this song , just like this , live today !!!!!!!!!!!! she rarely does this song live....she would kill em everytime with this version!!!

  • AHHHHHH....thankssssss!!! Ilove this demo....Stevies voice is just incredible!!!

    You see your gypsy........you see your gypsy.....your gypsy....

    love yaaaaaaaa stevie

  • Wow, this is awesome. Great job.

  • I love this :) sooo much. It makes me so happy to hear. I get transported back to another time, another way of living and loving, and at the same time it reminds me how to feel all that again...Thank you man, God bless You all....

  • I really like this....shoot, almost just as much as the original. It's on a more mello note. :)

    Could be happy could be sad.
