  • just LOVE this video.... have it on Video, and still, after all these Years I´m in Love with this Performance... Thank you Mac !!!

  • This is honest-to-God the best performance I've ever seen from any band, past or present, any genre. There just aren't enough words for me to describe how much I love it.

  • Great song, very under appreciated!

  • We have 10 tone deaf, soulless cretins on here. Modern music is a pile of shit. This is the best band of all time. And Stevie Nicks is the high priestess of rock, a true goddess. So go listen to JLS or some shit to you 10 morons.

  • Last week was the first time that I've ever seen this video and having stopped. I'm still memorized by Stevie and FM.Since I worked for 40+yrs & lost all of my family members, I began to think about the many things that I missed. I kept wondering if Stevie was doing a ritual when she started using those black castanets. When Mick looks at Stevie,he gives me the creeps.I use to see Stevie,but now I look at her.Stevie is Calliope,Euterpe & Erato.The 3 daughters of Zeus,and later considered as 9.

  • Just the most amazing performance ever love how Stevie's hair goes from being flat to HUUUUUGE. brilliant

  • Long Live The Queen!!!

  • I wonder if Buckingham would have been more respected for his great skill if he haddn't let his grandmother dress him. I'm sitting here watching this vision of lovlieness and then the camera moves over to Mr. country bumpkin and I had to LOL. But nobody was ever better than the Mac.

  • @Halfdantheblack At this point is girlfriend Carol was dressing him.

  • As I tried to explain to a punk rock/progressive rock friend of mine, behind the simple sounding songs they make, when you see them live, you see how much work they put into it! And live, they love to crank it!

    I remember when young, some older guy tried to tell me the Eagles were the greatest 70s band; not to take anything away from the Eagles, but Fleetwood Mac is one band that stands tall! ZZ Top, Heart amongst others!

  • Stevie sure nailed this!

  • THE ULTIMATE PERformance by ANYONE! THE SUPREME CUNT-THE QUEEN! AN AWESOME GODDESS SENT TO EARTH BY GOD!

  • Should they tour next year, this would be one of the songs i would love them to do :)

  • best ever performance ive ever seen by stevie ever so intense, hope eveyone who dosent really know stevie gets to see this . then they will all get it!! queen of rock n roll forever, go stevie

  • thanks for posting this incredible version of siter of the moon! thanks to you, MrHelpful, I bought the CD ( the mirage tour where you can see this great versionof this song+an incredible version of tusk, gypsy, etc...THANk YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

  • 3:28 looks quite intentional. He never should've gotten away with treating her like that, especially in front of an audience, ffs. Otherwise a great, ever-intense performance.

  • OMFG!!!

  • mick's face lol

    ahh i love them<3

  • QUEEN OF ROCK

  • @claptongroupie I don't know about Queen of Rock; but, she's definitelly a Queen!

  • Damn witchy woman..............

  • This is my all time favorite video on YouTube how AMAZING is this performace.. There will never be another Stevie Nicks thats for DAMN sure.

  • This is my all time favorite video on YouTube how AMAZING is this performace.. There will never be another Stevie Nicks thats for DAMN sure.

  • Stevie really gets into this Awesome song

  • i have this video from when i was a little girl still have it will never let it go ever .. it is prized possesion she is a beauty which noone can ever be compared to

  • Observe folks, this is pure ass-kicking rock and roll. Long live the Queen!

  • WANT TO SEE THEM TOUR IN 2012!!! *the world will probably end knowing the luck i get!!

  • Stevie Nicks is/was a rock goddess. I don't give a da** about her personal habits.

  • Why are so many comments focused on the drug aspect of this? Why are people even debating it or wondering if it might be the case? YES SHE WAS ON COKE. As were the others. This has been documented already. It was the times. Get over it. This is a spell binding chilling riveting performance from a true artist with barely an equal. Focus on that. Sheesh. Not everything has to be a reason for an anti-drug message.

  • @Plandisable AMEN.

  • @Plandisable If anything this would be a fantastic pro-drug message.

  • Let me explain further. When I see her on stage now, at 62 she is not a performer, she is a person doing her music. When I watch this kindo f performance I see Ms. Nicks trying to act a song she just needs to sing. Her doping up put her mask on, now she can be Ms. Nicks, not some strange character of Ms. Nicks. I love her recordings, I don't like the live stuff. And Mick Fleetwood scares me in this video. The only one who does do great live music is Christie McVie. I love the song.

  • first, a LOT OF THX, for the long version...

    one of the best live videos on you tube, everyone in the band is absolut amazing in this song, stevie makes me 'gänsehaut' every times i watch it, and i saw it a lot of times....

  • That's not the only thing she makes tingle

  • Makes the back of your kneck tingle !

  • I think she might have blown a line of coke in between 3:30 and 4:45. She lost her mind on stage and it was f***ing amazing. This is an amazing FM song and severely underrated.

  • Comment removed

  • That's BS...this live version rules. Her voice is too nasally now. She was in her prime in the late 70's early 80's. This song rules. And...it is because of Lindsey's playing.

  • @AJG3842

    I completely disagree! when she was 'on', she sang with her soul and this is one example of her barred (sp?) soul. FM was one of the best live bands - tightest harmonies while the other big names were a tripping mess and mostly unintelligible. I LOVE many of their live performances, better than the overproduced studio versions. Stevie was UNbelievable in this performance!! Just wow!

  • brilliant stevie!! <3

  • what a sexy witchy looking non witch. Wish she was one- a good witch from the west.

  • I camped out for days to be right underneath Stevie when she did this exact performance at the Tangerine bowl, Orlando Florida in 1982. I was 16...Today I'm turning 45 and I miss these days, these simple times...When music flowed so freely. I'm certain my ticket costs less than $20, and the experience is (and will be) forever embedded in my heart and soul! In other words, absolutely priceless...

  • @amorvincitomnia831 I remember when they were at the Tangerine Bowl, but it was 1975. I was 10 and my dad said I was too young to go, so I pitched a crying fit and he took me down there in the car and rode around the stadium a couple of times....I heard Stevie singing "Rhiannon". it would be another 20 years before I actually saw FM in concert, although I'd seen Stevie many, many times and Chris once.

  • shit! what a voice!!!

  • one of the best videos on youtube

  • I have this whole concert on VHS! AWESOME!

  • stevie fucking rocks this performance... wow holy shit that gave me chills, i need more

  • anybody know what year this was perfomed? I know its before '87

  • @interstategar this was the mirage tour 1982

  • @interstategar  1982

  • this is fucking great..nothing else to say.....

  • Wow, they ROCK!!!! I love Stevie & FM!

    dang why oh why oh why couldn't i have been around for this period of time?!?! I would be right there in the ront row dancing and singing along!! :D

  • While earlier versions of this song are quite good it was until this one they achieved perfection. And damn they did a fine job. One of the top 10 songs rock songs ever.

  • This is a Tribute playlist for Stevie Nicks Birthday.aged63 forever young.~

  • @unclefloyd77 I'm sorry I missed them too. So many amazing live performances I missed out on...

  • Wow, Stevie is on SOMETHING! And it's not just a high from music!!

  • Take a look into Lindsay's eyes at frame 3:33 and a little beyond. That man loves Stevie, and I would kill to have someone feel that way about me. Look how he honors her by how he sings for her. Cocaine has nothing to do with it. That is the meaning of music, feeling that way, about the woman, the music, and making us happy as their fans. Stevie, you are TRULY the QUEEN!!! Felicia

  • Cocaine's a helluva drug

  • does anyone know if this is out on vid? and where to get it?

  • @ddawson1960 The Mirage Tour was available on VHS and Laserdisc. If you find a DVD it will probably be a bootleg.

  • @ddawson1960 Yes, you can search around and find it. I happened to tape it off MTV and block out the commercials, LOL, but mine is on old VHS format...par for the course in the '80's, but it's worth gold to me!

  • Such a shame this song has been cut due to difficulty and complexity from the sets. It was always one of my favs...I ws there at the Fabulous form the night this was shot, and yes...it was of incredible concert

  • When and where was this concert recorded?

  • @eyesthatshine LA in 1982... last night of the Mirage tour

  • lol Mick got to have another shot of whiskey brought to him

  • Was it the cocaine that caused her shaky vocals?

  • @weirdguy75 Hey watch what you say about Stevie...she's the queen of rock

  • @claptongroupie Dude, I love Stevie. I'm also a vocal enthusiast so i was curious if it was drugs that threw her voice off.

  • @weirdguy75 Im pretty sure she is the one of the only people to be able to perform brilliantly with superb vocals while she is clearly off her face..

  • @MsShadowbite I don't know. I've watched dozens of clips of the Mac and vocally this was not her best gig.

  • I saw this concert in Oakland their 1st of the tour in Lyndsey and Stevie home area Bay Area and being in the 3rd row was a life chaining experience . Love Stevie and learned to worship Lyndsey and his crazy finger picking guitar.

  • I love all sorts of music .. n soul, reggae an

    Ds some rock .. BUT STEVIE, LINDSEY AND THE MAC ARE WITHOUT DOUBT THE ONES WHOSE MUSIC I WILL NEVER FORGET - CLASSIC, AND THE BEST YOU WILL EVER SEE LIVE!

  • Vintage Stevie Extreme!! That woman is a effin LEGEND!!!

    

  • @Saunn Oh yeah! This is one of Stevie's/FM's BEST songs. A mystic rocker that was one of the highlights of the Tusk album. Sisters live is absolutely awesome and Stevie lit the Forum up on this night in 1982. The Queen of Rock rocking out to one of her greatest songs and showing the world why SHE made the Mac the biggest and why Bella Donna (released a year earlier) was a multi-platinum, chart topping phenomenom. Stevie Nicks - still rocking today! Long live the Queen of Rock!

  • Holy living fuck!! Thanks for uploading this. :) (Lindsey looks a bit like Terence Hill here. :))

  • A woman possessed!! Born to make love to her music! We love u Stevie...Thank You 4 sharing!!!

  • that was jam and i though should play on the radio

  • To wrap her in velvet...wish I could have seen this live. Thank you for posting for those of us who missed that opportunity.

  • Welsh women have a mystique.

  • I AM A VIRGIN

  • I think this version of Mac was at his peak 81-82...despite awful clumsy edit, Stevie a bit coked up- its the ultimate performance of this song, as usual great guitar from Lindsey..

    I think he hits her intentionly or not and that why he put his head on her shoulder in the solo..

  • lady Gaga will NEVER come near STEVIE...no one will..the energy of those days..the REAL LIGHT..these wanna be stars ""Pale in her Shadow" as she sings..

  • DISCUSSION

  • STEVIE MOTHER FUCKING NICKS. END OF.

  • This is by far my favorite. Love when stevie gets into the music like that, like skee used to do with rhiannon. It's like she is performing an exorcism

  • @Maa23evo Stevie is truly a performer Unlike some other women who throw on a idiot costume and shake their ass & pose as Divas. Its all in their heads, where with Stevie, its all Spirit.

    )0(

  • @BOBCATBIKERBABE oh i know. I get to see her in 2 weeks and I am so damn excited.

  • Awesome!!! Thanks for adding this!

  • Hands down, this song should have been on the UNLEASHED tour.

  • I'm and have always been a FLEETWOOD MAC lover! I'm 60 years old and have never ever gotten tired of any of their music! There is a strong aura around Stevie Nicks that makes her mystical & magical. She's still going strong too. She came out in the 70's, and she's still going at 60+, now that's what I call a LEGEND!!! You still rock out Stevie, and where ever you go after this lifetime, you'll always be timeless! You'll still be rockin' out there too! I'll be right there rockin' out wit ya!

  • STEVIE FUCKING NICKS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Has Stevie ever commented on this performance, particularly. I wonder if she knows its a huge fan fav on YouTube. Coke or not. It's only rock and roll and I LOVE IT.

  • Agreed with homegrown. I should have been born when I could have enjoyed this band at their peak here - you didn't see this on the Say You Will Tour for sure.

  • I should have been born like 30 years earlier... :(

  • Love it thanks so much for posting!! There is no one like Stevie!!!!!

  • BeWitching!! Great Players and Stevie gives her all...COOL!

  • This Is Chilling(: i Love It(:

  • Stevie is the killer here... fantabulous!

  • @Flower7777777Power: I didn't say that. But if you can't tell that's what they were doing in this clip that's not my problem.

  • @joeyjettt Contrast this performance with the same song played at a later time...can't remember if I saw it on youtube or if it was from "The Dance" , when they were all clean...the difference is startling and impossible to miss. Especially Stevie, who is white as a ghost in this version.

  • Comment removed

  • @joeyjettt : My point was that they hadn't quit anything when this clip was filmed, which was long ago, and during this performance they are obviously wasted on coke and exhausted from having coke keep them awake night after night. That's why they look and sound ragged, pale, weak and drawn...this clip was made when they were probably doing more coke than any other group of people on earth (because they could afford to).

  • 2.50. Lindsey is smouldering haha

  • and God bless you for sharing it. Thank you.

  • Simply...........breath taking..........

  • Comment removed

  • This performance is out of this world.. Stevie Nicks Rocks!

  • You couldn't have found a band that looks like they shouldn't be on the same stage together any more than FM in this video. Lindsey looks like some weird farmer, Christine looks like she should be off scrapbooking, Stevie looks like a reject from Cats (towards the end), Mick...I dunno...waiting for a chalk outline on the floor? John McVie looks like he shold be on a boat somewhere.

    But hell, what a band. Great performance from all the musicians and an awesome vocal from Stevie. Wow!

  • @AppleCorp3

     lol!!! so true, they were uniquely individual.

  • love, love, LOVE this!!! thank you for sharing.

  • BEST FUCKING SONG FROM THEM OUT OF ANYTHING THEY DID, FROM ALBUMS TO LIVE SHOWS...THAT TOPS ALL!!! :) LOVE IT!

  • BEST FUCKING SONG FROM THEM OUT OF ANYTHING THEY DID, FROM ALBUMBS TO LIVE SHOWS...THAT TOPS ALL!!! :) LOVE IT!

  • This is, to me, the essence of Stevie Ness. Beyond Something Exquisite. LOVE IT.

  • saw this live in 1980. this song blew my mind. buckingham literally tore that guitar solo at the end up. greatest concert i ever saw!! still gives me the shivers. thx for posting it.

  • Mick drinkin' a Michelob to bring the song in!

  • I bet these guys did more blow than any other band. LOL!

  • идеальный голос.я ничего подобного в жизни не слышал.

  • "You have no idea how many stuffed animals live at my house."

  • i like this version because it actually has the audience noise in it. The other versions on youtube OF THIS EXACT SHOWING in 1982...sound awful because some company tried to edit out the audience noise and sell it on DVD. What's the point of a live version then? I wish I could get this version on DVD!

  • I'm absolutely floored, what a performance. I need to own this concert on blu-ray or dvd, big time.

  • This has always been one of my favourite songs.

    The intro on the album version is unhurried, we're made to wait and let it all sink in

    The lyrics are pure Stevie and Lindsey's trademark screaming guitar solo @ the end is priceless..

    The great thing about the Mac, for me, is they all used the same harmonic language and all 3 of the writers bounced off each other, beautifully to make an unmistakable, unbeatable whole.

  • Full of passion from beginning to end . . . . from Mick to Stevie, this performance has it. Thank you for this video!

  • For some reason this song just had me! When you read the comments down below it's even hard to describe how good this song was. I heard them at blossom music Center in Cuyahoga Falls and she did say, "you have no idea how many stuffed animals I have at my house." I think this concert was there. Stevie Rox!! So does the rest of Fleetwood Mac.

  • This still gives me the chills after all these years!

  • You know how it cuts out around 5:25 and then starts again at a different part? I have always wondered what really happened there. I think this is in Japan??? Somebody out there has to know...

  • This the ultimate version of this song. Thanks for posting it

  • THIS is the often spoken of speculated about 'speaking in tongues' version .....damn I love Stevie...still....after all these years.....

  • The real show starts when Stevie and Lindsey will ride off to the sunset Together... all of this for 40plus years was just to entertain us!! Best of Times you Two!!!!

  • I don't think I've ever seen a better video or heard a better song than this one. I actually think Stevie gets off on this. She was crying when it was over and we know what that means. I need a cigarette they were great! Stevie rocks!

  • This has to be the best song I think I've ever heard.. I just love Stevie Nicks

  • @dockdog266 No doubt... she went all out on this preformance. :)

  • Mick is the kind of perussion (sp?)...

  • soo cool thanks for taking time to share

  • Stevie is mesmerizing. This is truly a grand rock and roll band.

  • I'm 46 years old and still in love with Fleetwood Mac. Even being a married woman, Stevie still steals my heart every time I listen to her. Something takes her over at 4:47 thru 6:26 - she is completely and totally involved in this song. I adore her - always have and always will....

  • @WitchyWonder Your so right about something taking over her!..That's what I just love about her. She is so real and deep...And the best thing is she takes us all with her!!

  • Absolutely fantastic performance. Stevie at her absolute best (and Lindsey). The Mirage Tour was definately their best live performance. Mick also does a great drum session. Anyone notice Lindsey deliberately barging Stevie out of the way at 3:30? He was awfully jealous of Stevie getting all the attention and still hurt from the breakup me thinks!!1

  • i love yall so drugged up but still i love yall

  • Stevie speaks in tongues..Wonderful.

  • i like this version because its the original....the one off the DVD sucks because they tried editing out the sound of the audience which ruined the sound....how did you get this wonderful version!?

  • 4:54 lol stevie using a castanet on a cowbell lol

  • 6:17 Stevie Nicks starts singing in tongues.

  • Lady Ga Ga must be bowing down to she who is Stevie FUCKING Nicks

  • @ripley450 She actually is. Gaga told Stevie she thinks of her style when she's unsure of what to do. It's a vid on here called "stevie nicks--Lady Gaga looked stunningly beautiful"

  • @charmedandenchanted

    GAGA AINT SHIT END OF STORY!

  • @ripley450 YES!!!!!!

  • Loving it -- nobody does it better, truly inspired by the muses.

  • Priestess

  • The music itself is just amazing. Maybe the best pure music from a guitar,bass,drums, and keyboard on one song for a live performance. Simply amazing!

  • Pure Class, I  have the full concert on dvd.

  • I remember this show... It was wild. There were 2 locations that this song was done during the Tusk Tour - NYC and Red Rocks. And as always, Stevie was doing constant costume changes lol

  • They screwed this show up. No offense, but I think Lindsay is a bit too jivey and a bit too boasty with his voice.

  • This is the encore of the show, i still have this (mirage tour) on vhs and i wish that they would release it on dvd!

  • It's available on DVD here in australia and it should be available through Amazon or eBay

  • What a priviledge it would be to make love with that voice.

  • Wow!!!

  • wow they are all sooooooooo high

  • Absolutely a splendid performance right from the intro with Mic Fleetwood , all the way to Stevie, Lindsey and the rest of the band... Magnificent!

  • Excellent song from FLEETWOOD  Mac... True poetry, thanks so much Stevie~

  • what did she say at the end? "you have no idea how many ...?????? ... thank you" could anyone complete this phrase pls? thx

  • "How many stuffed animals are at my house" I believe is what she said
