  • They are coming to vancouver and the tickets are $150, holy shit, they are awesome, I love their music but can't afford that kinda money... damn you capitalism!!!

  • What date are they coming? The price is outrages mind you but still, when are they coming?

  • I never was the biggest Fleetwood Mac fan, I like a lot of their stuff, just not a huge fan. But anyone with an ear for music can tell you that Lindsay Buckingham is a genius. He throws down on this song.

  • you are so right. Ive listened to everything he has ever done, and tis song is his most introspective. Straight from the heart! Thank you

  • This gives me goosebumps, its just amazing, the best version ever!

  • i have watched every video from this concert that i can find, the thing is this has anybody noticed Stevie walks around with that tambourine the whole concert but we never hear it.

  • i heard this song the first time i tripped on lsd and i fell in love with it!!! The guitar playing in this is classic. THIS is music not this bullshit they try to pass off today which is nothing but jangled clutter!!! Long live true rock n roll!!!!

  • clearly an example of greatness..most youth blows and retain garbage based on pure pressure...via patience ..this performance solidifies why you should listen to peers!

  • awesome song to play on guitar. if ur an advanced guitar player like I am, this song is a breeze. for beginners... GOOD LUCK trying

  • your right it is an awesome song to play, but not that hard. dont worry, you're not all that..

    why dont you put up a few videos of yourself so we can all see your advanced skills

  • yeah right...

  • its not that hard. just getting the solos right is a bit hard. took me 2 yrs to master it

  • anything Lindsey does is amazing stevie sucks!i dont understand why she's more famous Lindsey has REAL talent

  • very true

  • Both are brilliant.

  • what year is thid dvd from?

  • 1997-98

  • 1997

    from "The Dance"

    one of the best concert dvds ever

    strongly suggest it

  • and for the dude that has played for 3 weeks i am 13 and i have been playing since i was 4 its really hard

  • absolutly amazing i bought the dance video of that concert amazing

  • simply...awesome..orgasm...yae­h..

  • The question is.....What version is better. This or the live in boston one ??

  • this one was a better actual "solo" but the one in Boston seemed to have more emotion.

  • I thought this one had the more emotion, but I can see where one could think that, it was a lot slower and spooky. I think that Stevie's harmonizing in it gives it some major emotion. It's really a matter of opinion, I like the one from Boston, I'd prefer this one though. LINDSEY IS GOD!

  • this song, that solo, his ability, his stage presence, the emotion in his playing, unbelievable,

    ok, this solo, or the solo from the end of come, any thoughts on which one is better?

  • This one...Better thought out

  • i meen, i spent all day learning this, but the optic solo is so HARD! bloody amazing, only been playing 3weeks, x peace out

  • This is a great version of this song. In some parts it's like he's playing a "double lead". If you have The Chain Box set (25 years of Fleetwood Mac),,,that has a great version of this song as well. Also, if you don't have your computer hooked up to your stereo,,,this is a good reason to.

  • although lindsey buckingham is my favorite guitarist EVER..i do have to say that appreciate the sond of the drums in this song....mic fleetwood is favorite drummer.

  • speechless...

  • boy i tell you what ive heard enough to confidantly say John McVie is the best bassist i have ever heard... And man, lindsay buckingham is great too.

  • ... and i bet you'd go to a buddy rich drum solo and say his bassist was great too ... this was "lindsey's time" ... and john deacon was a better bassist.

  • He's not the best, but because of this song I've started listening to his stuff, and he is a damned fine bass player, yeah. Incredibly underrated.

  • Close your eyes, lean back and feel how that guitar solo flows into your body!! This is the greatest solo ever! Thank God that he made Lindsey Buckingham!!

  • Fuck God!

  • Raw vocal angst, growling, soaring, ringing, achingly precise guitar work, a relentlessly driving beat... awesome... bombastic. . . epic... what superlative WOULDN'T fit here? I became a born-again Buckingham fan the day I saw this on DVD. Every few years, a performance comes along to remind you of the power and beauty that has yet to be wrung from music, and the world seems a little more...mysterious, and full of wonder again, for a little while.

  • (applause) very well said....I agree! I get chills...I mean, near tears for the performance. I think he has the title for (one of) the best guitarist in the world sewn up.

  • djeez, you should write an article. well said

  • Absolument ENORME cette version, rien à voir avec la version studio.Tout y est, instrumental, paroles, voix...

    je ne m'en lasse pas!!

  • wooow powerful powerful song thank you soo very much for sharing

  • I love this song, this is one of the bands that sticks with you, I did alot of learning on how to play the guitar in the '70s, please check out my video's and let me know what u think. thanks, garry bryant

  • Lindsey Buckingham is a GOD! I'm so glad my parents raised me on The Dance!

  • this is absolutly the best song of all times!! i think this is the best version, and the second best is when they sang it live in boston!!

  • This is one of the best songs ever. The fact that it live and sounds perfect says how good they and Lindsay are. His voice cuts right into you, it's haunting.

  • I´ll never change....I never will....and I´ll never get tired of listening to this great piece of work.... Hats off to you, Lindsay...

  • I've seen this live. I screamed, and I cried. There is so much emotion involved. And I can think of very few, possibly none, other songs that come any where near having this much heart and raw emotion in it. I bow to Lindsey and the musical genius that he is.

  • I wish I would've seen this live. I would shovel thousands to have been at this concert...and I would've taken LSD there.

    Hot damn do I love this song. It's so intensely minor, and the bass line comes. Awesomeness.

  • No, I wasn't at THIS show. I've seen him four other times in other shows; two of those solo. I love the Mac, but I love seeing him solo because then all of the focus is on this one brilliant genius of a man! :-)

  • aint never seen a drummer so happy..

  • CRACK !!!!!!! Two people can play like Lindsey does, himself and the other one died a long time ago, that's why he's unique.

  • This is the best guitar solo ive ever seen its enough to give you goosebumps and leave you sitting there with your mouth open going damn that was awesome and thats not including the song which is awesome as well truly a classic piece of work

  • Fleetwood Mac ! Grosse Künstler .... Grosse Musik .... Diese Gruppe hat ihr eigene Magie unverwechselbar und unerreichbar... Musik der Superlative ........!!!!!

  • Great to see how much Mick Fleetwood was enjoying himself here. I can't think of a jollier drumming performance.

  • Not to mention, John McVies great bass lines. You know what? Stevies great backing harmonies and Christines part...equally impressive...Fleetwood mac is just so damn special. Now, if you'll excuse me, guess I'll go check to see if the website is up yet...

  • Days when the rain and the sun are gone....

  • beautiful song!!

  • Amazing! First time I've heard this song in years! My dad had The Dance on VHS and I used to watch it all the time when I was like 8.

  • Lindsey's playing is so heartfelt on this song, is really is an amazing performance.

  • The bass is also absolutely amazing!

  • Imo, he's an underrated composer. This song is absolutely chillingly haunting and amazing!

  • stevie nicks rules!

  • best song ever!!!

    i get goosebumbs while listening to this

  • I never get tired of this song from one of my all time favorite bands. The magic they've created over time is amazing!

  • I've always loved this but just recently really heard his words,I can relate to every heartbreaking word...I've been alone all the years so many ways to count the tears.I never change,I never will.I'm so afraid of the way I feel.Days when the rain and the sun are gone.Black as night agony's torn at my heart too long.So afraid,slip and fall and I die.I been alone always down no one cared to stay around.I never change,I never will I'm so afraid of the way I feel! Black as night! I cry every time.

  • I first heard this song in the late 1970's. I was a young guy and all the stuff that went on back then. I don't know or care if Linday Buckingham is the greatest guitar player in the world - and it's dosen't matter to me at all. What matters is the way his playing makes me feel and the real emotion he creates with his playing. Every note he plays in the song is a hammer blow to my heart as he takes me back to the raw edge emotions of my youth. Not to many guitar players can still do that for me.

  • Great post, and I wholeheartedly concur with every word.

  • As MUSICIANS, I think that Fleetwood Mac are some of the most underrated of all time. I think that they get overshadowed by Stevie Nicks and her dresses.

  • no one cares what you think, and who told you that they're underrated?!?!?

    everyone knows who they are

  • I know that everyone knows who they are as a BAND and by their names! They are one of the most famous bands ever. I am saying that they are underrated as MUSICIANS. Very seldom when people have long talks about great guitar players, great keyboard players, great bass players, and great drummers, do they mention Lindsay, Christine, John, and Mick respectively.

  • I agree. Lindsey's an INSANE guitarist and he doesn't sound the same as classic rockers and whatnot who generally have the same sound.

  • Agreed, although I wouldn't say they are overshadowed by Stevie and her dresses, lol. But I do think they are underrated in that they don't get mentioned among the great rock/pop groups. They sort of just get pushed into "they were pop" and when talked about, alot of the times, its about their issues over the years

  • I think the sheer epicness of that bass line is more powerful to me than the guitar solo...

  • That intro is epic.

  • An unbelievable chilling performance...

  • Brilliant!

  • my hair stick out when i listen to thissss amazinggggggggggggggggggg

  • This is so intense, what a great song.

  • ...Intense... Yep that's the word. Wow.

  • One of their best song!

  • i second what everyone else is saying...this man is pure genius and completely unrecognized. this song is so intense

  • This is one of my favourite leads of all time... it has such feeling make me cry...the best version I have heard...perfect...

  • good song

  • lindsey buckingham never evr got the recognition he deserved. His solo work was sometimes hard to follow but what he did with fleetwood mac was brilliant.

  • He's more of a visionary and that's why I think his solo work is hard to understand for most of us.

  • Lindsey Buckingham- Guitar, Vocals

    Mick Fleetwood- Drums

    Stevie Nicks- Vocals

    Christie McVie- Keyboards, Vocals

    John McVie- Bass

    This is what makes Fleetwood Mac what it was, what it is & what it always be...simply fantastic!

  • Longest solo Ive seen him do in decades. They still Kick Ass.

  • he is a god, i get chills listening to this every time. My favorite guitarist of all time!

  • And mine too! Lindsey is brilliant.

  • So I can't honestly find a better version of this song. Don't get me wrong, every time they play it it's amazing....but this version is by far the best!

  • he is seriously one of the most underrated guitarists. His phrasing is incredible. He's becoming one of my fav. players quickly.

  • Love this song!!!!! Lindsay is like the wine...the older the better he gets!.

    Fleetwood Mac, the best band ever!!

    and of course // STEVIE ROCKS!!!! :) //

  • Mejor la versión de los 70. Esta está dentro del maldito sistema, y no dice relación algunsa con la letra. En verdad, apesta.

  • This is intense and immensly beautiful. The drums are enough to make me wet myself and their chemistry together has never changed. I respect the fact that they were adult enough to pull this one off.Not like other bands. They are still beautiful together and still kick major ASS. My first concert was rumors in detroit michigan when I got introduced to my first bagel and cream cheese bar outside. But little did I know what was in store for me.Been an addict to fleetwood ever since.And I gypsy.

  • At least Lindsey is his own style. Peter Green was such an Eric Clapton wannabe and you know it.

    P.S. He also couldn't pull this song off the way Lindsey did!

  • John McVie is very solid with Mick. Great Song!

  • one of the best live performances by lindsey buckingham my favorite song

  • Man that is one of the coolest guitar solos i've ever heard.

  • Lindsay is incredible way underated

  • fuck peter green

  • What was that all about?

  • Very well put but I doubt it will happen. Again.

  • I'm still in love with stevie nicks and i wish i have a woman like her to marry, and lindsay must take care of her because she is a gift, and she must take care of him coz he is a legend, and the band is unbelievable, keep rockin' fleet.

  • god, i couldn't have taken a seat after that, my heart would have beaten so fast!!! that was ROCK

  • One of my favourite songs ever. A classic and it is truely underrated.

  • best song ever! sucks this wasnt shown live. but least it was on the dvd with gold dust woman, gyspy and others

  • If you haven't done so already, play the video of this song as FM did it at Rosebud in 1976 - also on Youtube. The quality of the video isn't very good but the passion of Buckingham and Fleetwood really comes through.

  • i saw that vid and ur right nothing beats the 98 version

  • without a doubt the best song ever

  • thanks for posting this

  • Love the band, love the song, love the man. He is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Personally I prefer Steve Lukather but that's only because I've listened to him for longer. Since I was a child in fact. I think there equally good but one thing I've noticed. Lindsay play electric with his fingers. You don't see a lot of people do that with electric, usually people use picks. Steve Lukather may be my favourite but Lindsay has influenced my own playing a lot more. You rock Lindsay!

  • This is the best live guitar solo I've ever heard. Lindsay is the epitome of a guitar god.

  • i love to rock blast this song when i am drunk...

  • Feel so lucky I found this! - know the feeling?

    Fantastic!

    ...and what a sound - what a bass!

  • i think this is one of the best if not the best live guitar solo ever. lindsay buckingham is absolutely amazing. mesmorizing.

  • the most beautiful number that ever is writing, and iám not so a fleetwood mac fan.

  • This is easily my favourite song of all time, its so emotional,it makes you feel like the world could stop turning at any moment.

  • I just sat and read all of the comments about this truly heart stopping performance and I think benjitara here says it all best - I do really feel as if the world could stop turning when I hear this song. I have loved it since the first time I ever heard it and years later it stills makes my hair stand on end and my heart thump. EVERY SINGLE THING IS PERFECT. Listen to this song LOUD...as loud as the speakers will go (my Cerwin Vegas do it justice!)....in a dark room...alone. LONG LIVE LINDSEY.

  • I'm a die-hard Jimmy Page fan and Lindsey blows me away with this performance. Had goosebumps since the first time I saw/heard this. That was 15 yrs ago!

  • Ive heard many say Lindsey is NOT a pretty good guitarist... Aaah cmon give me a break! This solo is just amazing.. look (and listen! lol)how it is is build... he works slowly down the arm giving it really soul, nerve and most of all a fabulous presence... No its not a fast solo, but who cares when theres so much talent in it? Theres for sure many damn fast guitarists around, but i dont think many of them can deliver a solo of this quality...

  • I can finally say that I've properly learned this guitar solo and let me tell you, it is a creation of true genius ! I absolutely love playing this, it's got such a great feeling to it. Now, if only I could learn to play it with my fingers instead of a pick, like the master himself...

  • SHould have just learned to finger pick it to begin with. You wouldn't have this debacle then, now would you? :P

  • Hehehe Im with SabbraCadabra on this finger picking for ever woot!! :P

  • amazing performance, always gives me chills, the guitar solo is one of the best i ever heard. what a great band

  • There are no words.Outstanding.They still got it.For Sure.

  • wow blows my mind every frkin time

  • Undoubtedly, one of Fleetwood Mac's best songs and as for Lindsay's guitar solo - simply the best. I have the DVD and play it often.

  • do you know pfm' pLEASE GO TO SEARCH THEM.

  • greatest band of all time without a doubt

  • awesome guitar solo

  • Amazing guitar solo. It's beyond expression how much I love this band.

  • the solo is the best part of the song

    and i love his technique

    and of course that beautiful Rick Turner

    difinitly one of the MOST underrated guitarists today

  • Perfect guitar solo.

  • Awesome jams man

  • Fuckin' awesome!

  • Very good song...I've heard the studio version and I've heard a few live versions too. I would have LOVED to have seen Jimi Hendrix play it live...Oh Well...(No pun intended!...;-))...I can dream on!

  • Priest>Mac

  • Is that Christine at the end saying "Lindsey Buckingham!"

  • Yup

  • Yes it is Christine.

  • no its stevie nicks

  • with a british accent? it's christine.

  • Far and away this is the Mac's "darkest" song but it's also the one probably the most emotion in it. Lindsey guitar, as always, defies description and once again John and Mick show they are one of the best rhythm sections in rock and roll history.

  • Haha! Mick is an insane drummer! He's so great!!!

    Lindsay is such an amazing singer and guitarist! Long live Fleetwood Mac

  • One of the most under-rated guitarists ever. Drums and Bass read each other like they are Twins.

  • Like Lindsey, Mick is very underrated as a drummer. He is never flashy but he is rock solid and one of the most innovative drummers in rock and roll. I have been playind drums since 1970 and I am still in awe of him. And as rock bassists go, in my opinion at least, John McVie is the gold standard.

  • Great song ,fantastic gitarsolo, but also the bass and the drum are awesome

  • I let some hit my nuts with a hammer on a cement block, if I could play like that...AWSOME

  • This album came out when I was 7 years old, and today at 17 years old, I STILL listen to this and it sounds so dang awesome, especially near the end.

  • Lindsey Buckingham is absolutely amazing..god damn!

  • Stevie is awsome.

  • THEY are sooooo sick live, I wish we had had closer seats :(

  • Underrated is right!! This guy kicks ass!!

    What a sound on that guitar!!

  • fuckin class!

  • Freaking awesome!!! Lindsey is SO underrated as an artist, it's ridiculous. This song kicks major ass though.

  • mick fleetwood has the best drum sound that ive ever heard

  • no doubt, it's just amazing

    wish my kit sounded that perfect

  • Wish my guitar sounded that perfect *sigh*

  • HAHA, yeah no doubt, i'm playing on a epiphone special 2, not a BAD guitar, just not good haha

  • Epiphones arn't bad guitars. I own two of them.  One is a Epiphone Les Paul, and the other is a Dot.

  • meilleur chanson de tout les temps.

  • Quand j'avais dix ans j'était fan du DVD d'où cette video est tirée. Même chose aujourd'hui. J'adore ce morceau :)

  • Peux tu me dire de quel DVD est tirée cette video STP. J'ai 42 ans, j'ai été berçé par Toto, pink floyd et j'en passe, et je ne connaissais pas cela. Est ce possible ? Je l'ai entendu sur RTL2 il y a 2 lunes, c'est trés grand.

  • Cette vidéo est tirée du DVD The Dance. Le concert date de 1997. D'ailleurs en parlant de ce DVD, je l'ai reçu y a une heure, je l'avais à nouveau commandé.

  • Not bad, but Live at Rosebud ('76) is much more raw.
