  • I'd love to have this whole midnight special on DVD. I wonder why they don't release it?

  • this is great!

  • Such tasty drumming. Mick had so much judgment. Keeping it simple despite stunning abilities. To me, most bands have one person that is absolutely central to their sound even though you don't necessarily realize it at first. Rolling Stones - Keef; Zep - Bonzo. Dead - Phil Lesh. Fleetwood Mac -- definitely Mick Fleetwood. Not saying the other folks aren't important, but there is that one element that is their essence.

  • i swear this is straight up metal, if u changed the amps, the way the guitars are tuned, and how they mixed it, it would be totally metal. it really takes off at 4:11

  • 4:14 John's having a good time.

  • guys a fukin god!

  • I can't stop watching this video. I'll watch Stevie the whole time, then have to watch it again and just watch Lindsey and then so on till I've wasted over an hour.

  • Fleetwood Mac is one of the most epic rock bands ever....and this band has withstood so much, yet it's tough to think of them as anything other than the 5 performers right there on that stage. Primo!

  • Stevie has got it going on, no doubt, but my heart has "Christine" engraved on it. She drives the blues side of the Fleetwood Mac bus, you know? Lord, to get to enjoy this live all over again - just one more time!

  • Great video!

  • seems like if would play a set of Congos on this solo it be better

  • I tak niezdacie ...

  • This Buckingham versus Greeny get a little bit annoying. I admire both guitar players. Buckingham is part of the more famous version of FM, but he's also much more underrated than Green, who's got the critical acclaim. He has that incomparable fingerpickingstyle. But I am also a very big fan Danny Kirwan, who was part of Green's FM, but also of the beginning of the so-called mid-period (with Bob Welch, C.McVie). He is probably more underrated than any FM guitarplayer.

  • @MsOndine It's nice to find a fellow Kirwan admirer, he's probably my favorite FM guitarist, loved the rawness he had.

  • @obscurebandfan Yep, I saw the original band a few times. Green was brilliant but Danny Kirwan had this edge that made the whole thing work. very underated player

  • what the fuck is this garbage????, you all need to watch peter greens version then pray for your fukin souls!!!.

  • @EPIPHONE82,

    Well, Peter Green composed the original song. But this is a completely reworked version, with only a slight resemblance to the original. I guess you're aware that Peter did the same with some old blues songs. So, let's judge the merits of this version, arranged by Buckingham and C. McVie, who vocally sound stunning together harmonizing.

  • Crowd is so dead! id be punching and kicking everyone there!

  • Hey Lindsey fan. Lindsey couldn't have been friendlier,kinder or more genuine when " the brave " and I met him after the opening night of the Rumours tour in London ( Rainbow Theatre ) . We were catching a little plane out of a tiny airport the next day when he walked right in front . I told him we'd loved the band since the Green days and he took us to meet the band. " Perfect" Mac and Fleet and Stevie seemed eager to hear our take on the new disc . They invited us to see them in AmDam.

  • @MrScottmc Great story!!!! Did you take any pics? Bummer they didn't have any mobile phones with built-in cameras in those days.....and....did you see them in AmDam?

  • Thumbs up. And it's hard to watch any old FM vid without once again becoming infatuated with the talent and beauty that is Stevie Nicks!

  • i wish Fleetwood Mac would have done more songs like this, sharing lead vocals, instead of 1 of the 3 singing most of the song.

  • This is insane...love it !!!

  • at 1:50 there in a seperate room thats great 70's camera work

  • Christine Perfect is just Perfect!!!! BTW: Is the Midnight Special with Fleetwood Mac concert for sale? Not just this one, but all the songs they performed?

  • the song who's jam session turned into The Chain :)

  • And people say White People ain't got No Rhythm or Soul.

  • this and the chain is the real key to this version of F Mac. i like it cuz its more hard rock/bluesy than the rest of their output.

  • Peter Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell No !! Lindsey is way better, Peter couldn't hold Lindsey's pick ( if he used one) My opinion.

  • if you notice the right hand picking that PG and LB use it is almost identical!--- Totally crazy!!! but fuckin GREAT!

  • All versions of FM made some great music. Wish Bob Welch had never rerecorded "Sentimental Lady." Almost a direct rip-off of his old band...

  • Lyndsey had some big shoes to fill when he joined FM, he was the perfect fit, but he needed those girls to help.....very good

  • I love lindsays voice

  • I love this! these guys were so great together. Stevie Nicks is the sexiest woman to ever step foot on a stage.period! she makes madonna and beyonce look like amateurs in that department

  • @NicksandSlick LOL, they ARE amateurs as well as Lady Gaga and others. Stevie and the Wilson sisters from Heart are the absolute queens of rock!

  • @NicksandSlick That's because she's all natural and pure, and not a fucking robot.

  • great .great.song.

  • Imagine my teenaged disappointment when I accidentally bought a copy of "World keeps turning" by Peter Green

  • Oh Damn! I was not even a month old when this was done..lol..Lindsey is looking good!

  • I'm 20 something and LOVE them! I wish we had bands like this today!!

  • @sungirlsteph me too!

  • it seem likes the beat is a little faster than the studio version

  • This band inspires me to do great things and reach my full potential! Lindsey inspires me to learn guitar and Stevie and Christine inspire me to explore the more intricate textures of vocal music.

  • "He's bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee" - Oops, wrong song!

  • QUE MAESTROS ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • ...and bongos!!!

  • I'm predisposed to like this... afros, bellbottoms and kimonos... mega awesome!!!

  • @DeepSouthWrestling1 You're so right, what's not to like?

  • Great vid of the band in its heyday. They were on fire.

  • man.. I majorly grew up with this band... I still have the original Buckingham/Nicks album.. love it.

  • Love this thanks for sharing!!!!!

  • There is no one else like Lindsey Buckingham, whether with Fleetwood Mac or solo. I've seen him both ways and his enthusiasm and appreciation for the audience is remarkable! Love him!!!

  • Incredible live band

  • Stevie you are so hot

  • You gotta love Stevies little double tap of the tambourine after each chorus of world turning. I also love her hair in this one, such a sweetie.

  • THIS IS A GREAT PERFORMANCE OF THIS LIVE,WOW I WAS 10 WHEN THIS CONCERT WAS DONE BUT I STILL REMEMBER PICTURES OF THE STAGE ON THAT TOUR.

  • Bands go through changes in both members and the style of music they make. "Fleetwood Mac" was no exception to that rule. Depending on who you are, each era of the Mac provokes strong reactions from it's fans. Whether it's the early blues period led by Peter Green, through to transitional period of Bob Welch, then the California pop/rock super era of Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks......

    Throughout it all, the Mac grew, evolve and incorporated different elements thanks to ALL it's members!

  • I thought the authors of this song were Christine Mcvie/Lindsey buckingham. I got one of their greatest hits cd and the liner notes say CM/LB. I do not know how or if Peter Green is involved int his song.

  • they should have changed the name of the band after stevie and lindsey joined the band, was never the same, better maybe but not the same

  • 'FM' at their finest! That's it, I'm buying ALL their DVDs and replacing my old CDs with the newer remastered versions!

    Mick is a clown, ya gotta LOVE the guy!

  • Grow yer hair! Down to here, down to there!

  • Fleetwood Mac was a cool band with Peter Green, you could see the sunset. Lindsey gave this band legs you can outrun the sunset.

  • FM is amazing!

  • I love this song. Great combination of the old Fleetwood Mac blues style and the then-new Lindsey/Stevie Fleetwood Mac style.

  • my thought on this.i love the blues part of chrissie mc vie.not the best voice i've ever heard but the depth of spirit can't be denied.i guess thats why i think she's one of the most specil people in rock

  • ...Not only that but I applaud Lindsey for really making this band something completely different and succeeding. Can you imagine any other band going through so many line up changes and still being so successful? Just think if a band like Led Zeppelin had replaced Plant & Page... Nobody would've given a shit about Led Zeppelin anymore. Fleetwood Mac not only did just that, but they did it multiple times and in some ways became even bigger. I think what they accomplished was pretty awesome.

  • Why can't people just separate the Buckingham-Nicks Mac and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac? I personally prefer Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac too but these are basically two different bands. The Fleetwood Mac we see here was going in a completely new direction and what's wrong with that? I personally think its great and it shows nothing but respect for Peter Green and all the members inbetween. They are not up there trying to copy his style or continuing to make money off of his name

  • Why does Mr. Fleetwood always look like he should be in a helmet? That doesnt matter, fricken amazing song in every way.

  • An amazing freak coincidence of talent, especially their voices which blend so perfectly ... when you compare this version of Fleetwood Mac with the earlier ones, you can see they where fast on their way to obscurity, and then along came Stevie and Lindsey, and the whole thing just made sense: it was lightening in a bottle.

  • About Pre and Post Peter Green. Two completely different bands. Both powerful, talented, hard working groups. The music stands forever from BOTH.

  • Quite the Band of Gypsy's Mick Fleetwood Has on the Great Song. Love to Share their Glory.

  • THIS SONG ROCKS AWESOMELY!!!!!! LIKE MOST OF THE F/MAC 1975 LP.

  • GOD....Stevie looks so hot!!!!

  • Is Lindsey wearing a kimono?!

    He also has the best hair ever.

  • I had the pleasure of seeing this tour. They were awesome...

  • Wow. Back when bands rocked.

  • god, they are all so damn hot here <3

  • "Rhiannon" ,"Say That You Love Me" and "Landslide" may have been well known from the FLEETWOOD MAC album (1975), but "World Turning" stands on its own as a great track. Kick ass bass work from John McVie along with Lindsey Buckingham's guitar work. This track should've been released as a single because Christine McVie and Buckingham are great together.

  • 4:41 Stevie knocked a mike down... Klutzy or raptured? You be the judge?

  • Christine, Stevie, Lindsey and Mick play so well together. None of them even try to steal from the other's thunder. They're all great performers. What an awesome band!

  • @TheMenenkoFiles Don't ignore the bass...

  • Lindsey Buckingham is the most underrated guitarist in rock and roll.

  • TIGHT!!!!!

    The only word that comes to mind watching FM play.

  • god this Youtube is so amazing... how lucky we are to have this stuff...

  • yeah I grew up with that Buckingham/Nicks, Fleetwood Mac stuff... what a great time..

  • That fogie at the end who speaks kinda reminds me of Gene Simmons, but with a foot-long beard and a crazy accent.

  • What a great performance. Music isn't made like it used to be. Thank you for posting this video. Love this song!

  • lol i thought this was a cover/remake of greeney's world keep on turning :) but it's nothing like it this one is good too i guess... i love the band in this format (stevie is great) but no lineup can hold a candle to the original Dirty Mac. Peter Green is the REAL supeRnatuRaL!!!

  • @PaulXPZ ~ I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you. I NEVER cared for Peter Green or his music. There's no one else like Lindsey. This is just my own personal opinion though. (:

  • you are BOTH right. Peter Green is SSSSupernatural. AND Lindsey is DA BOMB. and the world is so much better for their worlds having met

  • @biglindseyfan77 Lindsey is awesome, green not so much

  • @biglindseyfan77 - why's there gotta be a best version of the band? I really dig each iteration. The "bridge" band with Bob Welch made some great, ethereal music with tremendous grooves. I dig em all on their own merits.

  • @biglindseyfan77 : LOL - I am a BOB WELCH fan, but appreciate all of them. The whole story is unbelievable

  • @PaulXPZ You know the Dirty Mac is an entirely different group, right? Fleetwood Mac != Dirty Mac, and they don't have any of the same members. :P

  • @SgtShwat i was joking arround with the name (it's what John Lennon used to call them, he was a bit jealous that FM was outselling the Beatles and the Stones combined in that period)

  • @SgtShwat that's not entirely true - Mick Fleetwood is the one constant in FM:)

  • @PaulXPZ Apples & oranges. Green was hard-corps blues.  Buckingham is rock/pop. They are both talented artists.

  • christine is pristine...as always

  • Christine McVie is awesome!!!!

  • christine mcvie = so unbelievably underrated as an FM!

  • love this song,,and this an amazing performance, thanks for posting. bb

  • Lindsey Buckingham is one of the best rock guitarists ever.

  • @ALTERED13TH thats true!!!!

  • lot a talent in fleetwood mac what a band.

  • @nat00ben06 ~ I agree. Thanks for commenting!! (:

  • Just cause we're young doesn't mean we don't have taste! ;)

  • LB looks a little like Justin Timberlake back then. Never would be able to match this sound though, thats for sure!!

  • @bd5035 ~ I don't think he looks like Justin at all. (lol)  (:

  • Sing it Christine!

  • Saw them Tuesday. Went on my own. Scammed standing in the front row, and had a stitch at one point. Still beside myself.

    Thanks for posting - truly enjoyed it and have been belting this in the shower for the last few days.

  • Thanx for this I bought the M. Special series and it doesn't have this song.

  • You're welcome. Thanks for your kind comment!! (:

  • Some wild bongo-ship by Mr. Mick Fleetwood

    probably one of my favorite Mac songs by far.

    You can tell Stevie sang a lot of back up vocals for this performance xD

    her voice sticks out like Mick Fleetwood on the cover of Rolling Stone in a cheerleader's outfit (in a good way)

  • Glad that you enjoyed this!! Thanks for viewing my video!! (:

  • AWESOME Lindsey!

  • I agree.  Thanks for your great comment!! (:

  • @biglindseyfan77 Always thought he and Chris made for better collaborators.

  • This video is great, thanks for sharing :)

  • You're VERY welcome. Thanks for your kind comment!!  (:

  • I loved The Midnight Special with Howlin' Wolfman Jack.I use to "tape" record the show by putting the micrpophone up to the speaker of the t.v..I was way ahead of my time.lol

  • Thanks for your great comment!! This show is one of my all-time faves too. By the way, I used to do the same thing. (lol) (:

  • Great song, loved it.

  • Thanks!! Glad to hear that!! (:

  • Far out...

  • Thanks!!  (:

  • Rock Band DLC

    25/8 XBOX 360

    25/8 Playstation 3

  • Thanks for the info.!! (:

  • plus so great to see Mick up front with a flourish and John Mcvie treating us all, as always, to supreme base playing, and darling Christine, and the ever stunning stevie nicks, sighs, simpers, man they had it all

  • hey j, long time no speak, hope you are well, will message a real message soon, its gone 1am and I'm just getting some lindsey before I go to my bed and dream. i think you should get a MEDAL for your services to Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey. I'm obsessed with Law and Order at the moment. Just to add this is a blinding clip!!!!! Lindsey at the start is like witnessing the first most perfect moment a man was created and put on this earth, ha ha ha, god he never stops rat-a-tat-tatting on my soul

  • Thanks for both of your comments. I LOVED what you had to say about Lindsey!! I feel the same way about him. (lol) Great to hear from you again!! Keep in touch. (:

  • Rock Band!!!

  • Indeed they are.  (:

  • I love them soooooooooooooooooooo much!. My heroes!. Have been a fan since i was 11.. Now im 20 and for the first time im going to their concert!!!.. Im sooooooo happy cant wait till its october!...

  • You're in for a real treat!!  They're AWESOME, especially Lindsey!! Thanks for your comment!! (:

  • how cool is this

    great days in music x

  • Glad that you enjoyed this one!! Thanks for your comment!! (:

  • I had the great pleasure of meeting all of them, and having my pic with Lindsay and their all very nice people...Mick even hugged me. It was awesome!

  • Wow, you're VERY lucky!! I'm so jealous!! (:

  • the shear impact of lindsay buckingham and stevie nick's contribution to fleetwood mac is clearly excemplified in this video . the great vocals of the buck's nick's partnership outshines the effort of christine mcvie . lyndsey and stevie are the embodiement of fleetwood mac !

  • Well said. Thanks for your great comment and for viewing my video!! (:

  • This incarnation of Fleetwood Mac is great, the most successful commercially, but the embodiment of FM? Try watching Peter Green, the original embodiment of cool, the best white blues guitarist ever. I dig Lindsey Buckingham, though, too. Great voice, excellent songwriter. The brains behind this version of the Mac.

  • @dec222222 Lindsay totally rocks, stevie is ok, and i love christine's vocals, keyboards, songs & attitude!!

  • Yes, agree to a point for sure. But they also brought out the best in Christine too!

  • @dec222222 yeeeh...but still Christine is the SHIZ :L

  • @dec222222 Don't forget Peter Green. Pete wrote Santana's Black Magic Woman.

  • @dec222222 If you like the contribution of Stevie & Lindsey, you might want to try and find the one & only album they did together as the Buckingham-Nicks Band, shortly before joining Fleetwood-Mac Not too many great tracks on it, but as a whole was an awesome outing!!!

  • One of three encores during the unleashed tour - so great

  • Thanks for your comment and for viewing my video!! (:

  • I can't wait till June 5th when they are in Saskatoon !!!.....this is the best video of World Turning - thanks for posting it !!...look how young Stevie is...just a baby!!...Mick looks so young too...having the time of their lives - I wonder if they thought they would still be touring at 60 years old.........and still be selling out concerts and sounding so GOOD !!!!!!??

  • I agree. They still sound AWESOME today (especially Lindsey)!! Glad that you enjoyed this video, It's one of my faves!! (:

  • they played the music - they WERE the music..........so much emotion in all their songs

  • Thanks for your great comment!! (:

  • holy shit that was good.

  • Thanks so much!! I LOVE this one too!!  (:

  • never seen this before, very nice and kind of different from the Rumours style.....not as good though. ouch!
