Stevie Nicks rare 1981 solo "Gold Dust woman" 8 min!!

[LavenderMarigold]

This is amazing, but can you say cocaine?

[Lassyboi22]

Awesome the best vie heard

[Nikkileetaylor]

The artist listed is Bob Welch which is a laugh vocals are front and center ;Stevie Nicks. Unless Bob like hits the wrong note it doesn't matter who's on the instruments.

[boyshky88]

Really can tell lindsey isn't there....

[xxxxPaladinxxxx]

A great performance, but hardly a solo, as the clip implies...

[Nikaraify]

Umm....my eyes and ears just had an orgasam!!!!

[rendilkraesin]

Stevie... one of the very few female vocalists to truly understand and embrace the power of rhythm and drums. One gets the clear impression that she could have lived in that coda for hours... Rock on faerie queen!

[munsterfloyd]

As great as it is it's sad to see them performing stoned out of their brains but that was then. Most of us copped on eventually. We now need to use drugs for curing diseases. Check out "Run from the Cure"

[jeffwins]

Fuck my nuts off!

[djoe1961]

Stevie Nicks dances through my soul with each and every note of every performance! Love you Rock Queen, Goddess!

[claptongroupie]

Coke was flowing

[skeenautube]

The most incredibly talented signer in HISTORY! She ain't bad lookin' either! Even at 63!!

[ikidunotdec56]

Damn she sounds good in this....  effortless flawless, compared to the later years:(

[Hell3ound]

This song still gives me shivers afer all these years. Thanks for sharing. Stevie is still a rock goddess. That voice, astonishing.

[bunnyman09]

This is AMAZING and astonishing. Audio quality is fantastic.  What a treasure.

[toroaqui]

THE SUPREME CUNT-THE QUEEN!

[Britt3459]

Lady Gaga isnt even a performer, shes a pathetic excuse. Stevie Nicks will Rule over all entertainers for an eternity.

[gentletumbleweed]

3 ppl are crazy !!!

[Roxy92959]

OMG this is Unbeliveable, wow so so great, the entire band, Thank You for sharing. Going to see Stevie, at the Fillmore this OCT 8th, 2011

[policefan1982]

Stevie wrote 'Gold Dust Woman' for Rumours, released in 1977. She is amazingly talented songwriter, musician, singer. Stevie needs no gimmicks and never flaunts herself. Very classy woman, beautiful today at age 60 as she was in her 20s. Sublime.

[elbioffa]

@policefan1982 too bad she ruined her voice with abuse of cocaine. if you hear how she sings now, well forget it...just awful.

[Coldfirekiss]

This is AWESOME!!!!! thanks

[stvienx]

Yummy.

[Electrice]

Pick up the pieces and go home .. it's all I really can do ...

[david1513]

she wore that skirt for me one night with no tights on i thought it was to short, she had nice legs back then, not sure now she keeps them covered up,

[ironbleepingmaiden]

she's ugly... NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IwasaBushfan]

eat ure heart out miley cirus lady gaga this is talent

[Choc1Joe]

Yeah, this is my fave Youtube performance ever. Maybe she only plays the tambourine, but she steals the show as much as Jimi Hendrix shredding a guitar. Rock on Gold Dust woman indeed!

[oldiron2007]

stevie Nicks........knocks me out......

[RhiannonRoss]

FABULOUS!

[24charliex]

Never get tired of watching this video.... it just mesmerizes me

[hungarianbeast]

@24charliex I work at a hard rock cafe I see it 10 times a day, fuck you!!!

[oldiron2007]

WOW, just wow, and yougotta wonder, the three dislikes......people Im glad I dont know........

[kerriloogovoni]

MICK FLEETWOOD is one of the best drummers there ever was!

[ironman110708]

nobody better. most artists need technology to make their voices echo the way Stevies does.

[LibTyrMatrix2011]

Oh my god, it sounds like a goat.

[stockinglover2006]

@LibTyrMatrix2011

Jealous!

[LibTyrMatrix2011]

@stockinglover2006 Hell no. I can sing way better.

[24charliex]

@LibTyrMatrix2011  Don't see you up there though, do we?

[LibTyrMatrix2011]

@24charliex Dumb people wouldn't know a good thing if it slapped them in the face.

[24charliex]

@LibTyrMatrix2011 Did somebody slap you? I'm so sorry! Why don't you let people enjoy the music they want to, & go enjoy your own? I'm sure no one here will mind

[LibTyrMatrix2011]

@24charliex The vast majority of people watching this couldn't care less of my comments. Only a handful get annoyed. I think it is funny as shit to irritate people. So easy to do you know. Calling Stevie a goat sure gets some attention. I don't understand why you don't ignore my comments. Its like you hating the color blue every time you look at the sky. You poor baby. Did somebody slap you?

[tanmad04]

class - that is what stevie has - total class!

[rogerargus1]

fantastic version of a great song all this and Stevie in a mini skirt as well!

[bearmare]

I recall this performance from a broadcast in the early 80s. Ann Wilson was even part of the show. She didn't perform with Nicks, but if it did happen, it would have been epic.

[budmangt2]

it look like old mick was having an orgasm....hell who can blame him,we all love the beloved Stevie



[MsSemiautomatic]

Real talent! Something different for a change! Still got it too Stevie. Ladies who rock: Stevie Nicks, Grace Slick, Joan Jett, Sheryl Crow

[abingdon66]

@MsSemiautomatic I would add Debbie Harry.

[ds9ops]

THE BEST. THAT IS ALL

[62pete]

The Queen ... 4ever !

[lilyprof]

Wow - that was incredible! Thanks for posting.

[toroaqui]

THE SUPREME CUNT!

[snickster5]

@toroaqui supreme asshole!

[RMS1103]

The Queen.

[rogerargus1]

@RMS1103 

[mrtgp2011]

she's the one!!!!

[TruthBrigadeYT]

Stevie fucking rocks!  :-)

[YellowMangerCalling]

God, Bob Welch was so sexy (actually still is...)

[Can00uck]

She is the best there way ...............the best there is and the best there ever will be . What an amazing Lady and ur right Lady GAGA is no Stevie !! Hope someday i get to Meet her onoe of my bucket thngs to do be 4 i leave!!!! Jlalewicz ur the lucky one congratulatons!! they say dreams come true Maybe minme will!!

[evie1942]

мои любимые музыканты были бы сладкой и лакомой добычей для инквизиции

особенно Мик и конечно,Стиви. Когда я смотрю это,я хорошо понимаю,почему в

советские времена боролись с рок-музыкой. Это нарочито вульгарное исполнение с "сатанинским"(конечно,в кавычках) оттенком.

[jlalewicz]

My husband was a production mgr at our local hockey arena & has worked many FM concerts. Said he saw her(this would have been about 4 yrs ago) backstage & said she was a wee tiny little thing with her hair in huge curlers, cold cream all over her face, & big granny glasses on & he said she was STILL breathtaking:) lol He also said she's a very gracious, humble, & friendly human being & her only request as part of 'production' is to have LOTS of shrimp in her dressing room. Lady likes shellfish:)

[jlalewicz]

Goosebumps:) She sounded spectacular here. I like that, "They never let me play Gold Dust Woman that long"! lol Amazing version. Thanks for posting!

[magneto44]

cocaine is a hell of a drug....

[GarrettMBand]

If you disliked this video SLAP YO SELF

[claptongroupie]

@GarrettMBand Can I slap them first?

[claptongroupie]

@GarrettMBand TWICE

[ssi17]

the first line of the song... i nearly expired. wat a voice she has her pipes this night.She knows it too!!

[DERedhead65]

"EXQUISITE"!

[CLDRICH1]

you almost forget the power and beauty of her voice....unparalleled, i wish idol would do a fleetwood show. it would be great.

[isenberd]

So FREaking SEXY!!!!!

[MyGr8Muzik]

WOW, Stevie just transports you to another place !!!!! Shes Amazing. Truely One Of A Kind !!!!

[billbailey60]

Stevie, she's amazing, over the top and those 3 that don't like her, well what can you say? No taste? yup!!

[Dawnmariegrasso]

i love that song stevie has such powerful voice stevie rocks and still is as pretty as can be

[nkdbkrdr99]

I love Stevie .She is the best ever...!!

[pubjamsessions]

awesome

[DreamzUnwind]

One of my fav performances of GDW!

[floydgirl7]

LOVE LOVE LOVE ;)

[StNige]

Stevie is ahead of the English language. The words to describe her haven't yet been written. Awesome will have to do for now!

[nkdbkrdr99]

@StNige OMG YOU are so right!!

[DancesWithJoy]

IMO, Mick is an extremely underrated performer!!

[mom4baby1]

Love this video!!!!! Thanks for posting.

[paulapaularaejohnson]

too cool!!!



[timcanfixitnow]

this song means so much to me. thank you both.

[sefrims1]

This is an awesome version..the best..for me it could have gone on longer....seemed as if they all got really into it esp. Stevie...rock on the Nickster

[TheEarl666]

stevie's voice gets better everytime i listen to her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[david1513]

nice

[TheEarl666]

@david1513 is that all u can say nice

[david1513]

@TheEarl666 nope ill say it again "nice" lmao,

[lavawax]

If this is love. Yeah. I'm crying.

[rendilkraesin]

"More Cowbell!" For those of you not aware, this appeal rings out whenever one is used, a plea to keep rock interesting and creative, in touch with its low-tech roots in jazz, blues, and folk. I love complex and progressive pieces most of the time, lots of stuff from the Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven lineage, but once in a while you just have to get all primal and shout out from the core.

[ssi17]

um, that skirt, i kinda want to sorta roll it up, and do dreadful things......your honor. she says she is always nervous when she starts, its in her face. your honor, your inner, whatever, i am only human, she has her voice here, i have seen hundreds of videos of her, i wanna do rude things help me.

[ssi17]

look, she is far sexier than elizabeth taylor, taylor had the perfect face, yaya, but this person is ridiculous, its almost funny.

[ssi17]

as beautifl as elizabeth taylor, but its the sex lets face it i would last about 15 seconds, if i got there in the first place... i would need drugs to hang together, can you imagine if you got her going......jesus. that would be wild what a lady.

[mike72395]

meh. needs more cowbell...

[doodybuds]

THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG I FEEL LIKE SHE IS SINGING MY LIFE STORY YOU GO ON GIRL

[3244gorilla]

floydgirl: Amazing vocals accompanied by magically harmonious band. I always interpreted ths song as being bout a man struck down by wiles & greed of his lover. U say its bout hr love/hate w/ coke. Listen 2 the lyrics crflly. Art is subjective, a-way right? In the end, it's wht impacts u, rgrdlss of ur identication w/ the message. So I'll retract cynicism & jst say appreciate the "golden" voice & w-ever u think she is conveying.

[ssi17]

Well , i know this is wrong, but if i ever met her in that miniskirt, when i regained consciousness, i would grab her ass, and throw myself on the mercy of the court.

[stvienx]

@ssi17

LMAO. You wouldn't be the only one. How can one be expected to control themselves anyway, when someone is that sexy? Damn.

[mansdaleroad]

They are totally out of thier faces............

[harryahmed420]

i think of my xwife evrytime i hear this song

[billytomga1958]

Lady Gaga can give it her best shot....but, even on Stevie's worst night, she'll never be a match!!

[devilzdaughter76]

@billytomga1958 i soooooooo agree with you!!! stevie is the queen of the gypsies 4ever.......i love her. lady gag me can't hold a candle to her!!!

[francinehamilton2009]

@devilzdaughter76 all I can say is AWESOME~~~~~~~~~~

[nkdbkrdr99]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[flyingshed]

Goddess.

[Dawnmariegrasso]

i love this i think this is the best footage i have ever seen wow

[mrhuntermann]

Great seeing early footage of her....amazing voice!

[mango66666]

WoW!!!!

[Dawnmariegrasso]

wow stevie is truely talented stevie rocks love this song

[beentheredunnthat]

wow ! she is still amazing ! Rock on Stevie :)

[Vanasse1]

The beauty of Stevie is that she looks like a petite little flower and you'd expect her to have a weak little voice, then she belts out that amazing deep voice and you are so intrigued by her... you just want more and more and more.... her power is in her contradiction!!!!

[RMS1103]

@Vanasse1 That's exactly right. She's so delicately beautiful that when you first hear her sing, you're totally astounded.

[ssi17]

@RMS1103 thats it, she is not a big lady, tiny really, then, Boom!! astounding is right.

[ssi17]

@Vanasse1  so totally true, the first line that she belted out, i almost fainted, she has her pipes here. full tilt boogie

[Vanasse1]

Loved this! Thanx for posting.... it's rare to see Stevie without the flowing outfits... she looks like she has street clothes on.... she is and always will be amazing.

[taam99]

It has been the best 8 minutes for me today. Stevie has been one of my favorite female musicians/signers.

[jpdanna2003]

I gotta have more cowbell!

[HaydenOran98]

Damn, That Woman Can Sing (: Rock On, Stevie Nicks! I'm Glad You're In My World(:

[beentheredunnthat]

I am crazy impressed & amazed that Stevie Nicks is as beautiful and talented now, as she was then .... awesome :)

[Brambleiah]

Cocaine is definitely a love / hate drug. Ultimately it will ruin you in the end I suppose. I still do it about once every 1 or 2 weeks. I'm 30 and work at a music venue and it's everywhere.

[floydgirl7]

This song is about her love hate with coke....damm she makes is sound nice lol

[whitewitchpotions]

Never get tired of her.....just love her and all the wonderful music she creates and shares with the world!

[whitewitchpotions]

Never get tired of her.....just love her and all the wonderful music she creates and shares with the world!

[macdeth8]

Outstanding, Thank you very much for sharing...I was 10 when this was recorded...but good taste is ageless :P

[ShadyPastel]

It's the way she blends her huskiness with that killer vibrato that chills.

[PhazzerPhire]

All I can say is HOT! :D

[JennaRome2010]

stevie nicks is a real star,,,amazing

[SketchyTree]

Her presence is astounding.

[TheEarl666]

@SketchyTree she has a presence like she's 10 ft tall

[philcloete]

fabulous

[tcr1130]

go stevie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you rock!!!!!!!

[tcr1130]

love this version when i want some good ol stevie nicks rockin music.. wouldnt you love to know the story behind the eyes of this women!!!!!!!!!!!!! men wanted her, women wanted to be her friend, and she was on top of the music world at that time.....................

[tcr1130]

love this version when i want some good ol stevie nicks rockin music

[MLODYisaBITCH]

MORE COWBELL ??? how the hell would you get more cowbell into a song with out having to smuggle it up some ones asshole ? believe me I tried and I couldn't do it - not in this economy any ways , and yes she does have the throat capacity of a very talented billy goat and she has become quite the cow these days I think her stylist is a cow one of the happy cows from Northern .

[zobianajo]

I never get sick of watching this....she is so damn good !! and he the drumming haha...he is so funny !!

[valencia11]

what a goat

[stevepaxify]

@velconstantcraving- dramatic much! Jesus!!

[stevepaxify]

I just watched/listened to this again from my favs and afterwards I can hear lady gaga paparazzi from the builders working on a house on our section and the contrast is abhorrent!! It really cements my love of Stevie. Lady GAGS sounds like a little mouse, whining and impotent.

[velconstantcraving]

@stevepaxify

Can we not drag contemporary performers into the discussion and just enjoy this bone-chilling display of unadulterated, potent femininity at its most powerful and self-aware? The load of energy in this performance could light an entire town! Stevie's vibratos, Mick's drums, the slow build-up at around 6:05min, and Stevie and Mick's snake-like writhing, underscore the tribal, almost animal-like energy of the performance. Stevie's on fire and completely in control of that fire!

[stvienx]

@velconstantcraving

Well put!

[9693297602]

Such a treat

[shirleynarsi]

what a woman what a voice

[Tatt2dmoon]

The Queen of Rock, bless her heart

[ScottT248]

One of the sexiest women in rock history, according to the GQ Magazine in Oct. 2010. I have always had a crush on her and still do. She is my goddess. :) Can't wait for her new cd in March 2011.

[evie1942]

@ScottT248 I GREATLY appreciate it,dear Scott!!my congratulations personally for you,my dear friend.

[steeler13s]

this is a perfect example of why i will never lose my crush on stevie!

[IronCladLady8]

I used to listen to this over and over again when I was like 12.

[bluecollarlit]

Shatter your illusions of love...?

You better put your kingdom up for sale....

...Now tell me --

Gold.

Dust.

Woman.

(they got the holy spirit)

[mll1968]

This is a good video, BUT, knowing the Fleetwood Mac history that I know, Mick looks like a horny old guy, and it kind of takes away from it for me.

[blindnarcissus]

i'm sure they did an eightball and did the nasty that night

[Choc1Joe]

@rakesfunnyfarm, I can't swear to it, of course, but I believe Stevie and Mick had broken up three years before during the Rumours tour. At this time, I think she'd just broken up with Don Henley. Different year, different drummer...

[rakesfunnyfarm]

Does anyone know if this time,when Stevie & Mick were a couple?

[GwenoraUpson712343]

If you wanna download this mp3 click to ezmp3grab doht cohm.

[mjohnson801]

amazing! Bob Welch is highly underrated as a guitarist, and Stevie...a goddess!

[2253glen]

At the absolute fkng PEAK of her power and beauty. Cocaine skinny, 80's hair, brandy voiced and smokin'. Does not get any better, Gaga who?

[jordynaddy23]

Such a great version of Gold Dust Woman..Stevie Rocks!!!

[MrsCindyLeonidas]

I love how Stevie and Mic FED OFF EACH OTHER during this performance.

Mick was having basically SEX WITH HIS EYES!

We often forget about these 2!

They did have something special once too ya know!

We all love to reminisce about her and Lindsey....though these two loved each other more than friends once as well!

And I do need MORE COWBELL!!!!!

[MrRichBiker]

to hoooott...for me.wow-what a women. you find a girl like that - and you wrap that ....get that ring as fast as your ass can.......and bagged that....perfect chick, cool,down to earth,....who gives a fuck if she dont cooks....etc.

[SuperFleetwoodMAC]

wonderful tambourine player stevie nicks is, thumbs up if you like

[gravelandgrain100]

damn, Stevie's voice is like a semi barreling at ya 200 mph. The power of her voice is just phenomenal, she is one in a trillion!!

[Steve1861]

Sexy Stevie Love her always will

[alsknwolf]

Just for you susan

[Flynn625]

yeah, Stevie is sooooo great, love her...

[SketchyTree]

The energy just bubbles up slowly, steadily, she finds her ground, and the whole band just lets it all out. Cool

[shonomad]

that percutionist looks l;ike a crazed mupet from the labyrinth (the ones that throw their heads) & I am pretty sure he is geeked up on some super 70s speed but he sure can beat those skins

I'm kinda tripped on 5:12 to 5:15 the punch drumming? Thats gotta hurt a sober hand after al long ass show slapping the skins that hard

[twangglor]

there once was an PBS special called "An evening with Bob Welch and friends." This is an outtake from that show. Show was great, but this is probably the best part.

[mehrizi78]

1981 was awesome! Granted I was only 3 but still pretty awesome.

[mehrizi78]

More Cow Bell

[bluecollarlit]

Mick "creepy looking"? That's his stage persona: he's intense! I'd have coffee with 'im, babe!

Never forgot 1996, F. Mac getting back together to play at the Democrats' Convention, at request of Pres. Clinton. (And that wasn't even in his platform!)

[Choc1Joe]

Again, if you ever want to know why Stevie is a star, this is an excellent snapshot. The voice, presence, style, it's all captured here beautifully...

[godzillasmother]

@Choc1Joe - you can see at the end she waves to the audience, another reasons she is a star, she never forgets her fans

[abingdon66]

@Choc1Joe You bet it is! A beautiful, erotic masterpiece! Great band, great singer. That's what this music's all about.

[tgreen317]

This gets me dancing every time

[roachyjr1989]

i think stevie nicks to this day is still one of the hotest woman alive



[minx45th]

This is the way the song was meant to be sung and has rarely been performed as well or at this original length

I think she was enjoying the new- found freedom of not being tied down to a band with the emotional roller coaster of a Ly
