I love Stevie, but Bare Trees is one of the greatest albums ever. This is one of the greatest songs ever.. . .I was always sad when I got half way through this song because it was half way gone so I would start it again. It drove my friends crazy, but I was in heaven.
@tubedweller5 I think because she's wearing jeans/pants. Before the lace and dresses. PLUS she was a lot younger and had on less make-up. Still a beautiful lady though.
Its weird how things sometime clik after a certain time..why FM weren't HUGE before Linsy and Stev is a 'Mystery to Me'..Welch has an awesome voice, Christines is one of a kind, songwriting and musicianship second to none..?
why so many photos of Stevie? It's Christine's song, and Stevie and Lindsay weren't even in the band yet! Stevie can't hold a candle to Christine! What a voice!
Lady steals my heart. Ive always thought Christine was a Big part of The Mac. The band's second album, Mr. Wonderful, was released in August 1968. It was an all-blues album that featured Christine Perfect (McVie) of Chicken Shack. Check out the artwork on Kiln House, Macs fourth album. Shes been there from the beginning.
I got to see her in Denver 82 when she came through with a group called The Zoo, Mick on drums, WHAT A PREFORMER. All McVie the whole night, Beautiful.
As I listen to this wonderous piece, I'm whisked back to the carefree 70's, and how life was so different. Christine's voice and brilliant hooks are great. But, what makes this song awesome is the backbone of the group, the rhythm section of John and Mick. They drive, Christine asks if you want a ride. It's Friday after 5, sun is shining, you kick off the weekend with a fine bottle of wine, and you got Spare me live comin thru the speakers, along with other Mac favs- now that's the high life!
Spare me so many stills of stevie nicks while christine mcvie is singing a song from pre-stevie album - if you had video clips i would understand, but this is not necessary...we could worship christine just as well, especially since there are plenty of pictures of her from the seventies available
@wombchakra Well...Stevie is the most successful member of Fleetwood Mac.....you say Stevie and people know her...you say Christine and they are like...who?
Lindsey and Stevie added nothing to this song - what is missing on this is the wonderboy Danny Kirwan's (not Bob Welch) guitar playing. Much as I like Buckingham he couldn't hold a candle to Kirwan, most under-rated lyricist and vibrato guitar player ever!
@Geefor - Okay, I'm just seeing this two years after your comment, and you may never see my reply ... but thanks for giving some love to the Kirwan! He really was a great part of FM and I wish his contribution was more widely known. BARE TREES is one of the very best albums FM ever did, and he, Christine and Bob were just as great a combination as Christine, Lindsey and Stevie.
I like Nick's harmonies. Buckingham and Kirwin's styles are so totally different it's difficult to compare the two. I loved Kirwan somewhat depressing lyrics and great guitar playing, but I think Buckingham covered him and even Green very well. This live version doesn't sound that much different than the live versions with Kirwin and Welch except for the new harmonies.
There is no other voice like Christine Mc Vie.

Likely the audio is from Largo, MD 10/15/75...they had ditched this song from their playlist by '76, when they were trying out their new material.

That was the time when songs contained great exciting arrangement, riffs harmonies end melodies.... Love the band
I'm actually making that kind of music, or at least using many of the 1970' s elements.
