  • Billboard's #44 hit of '83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed new year! Cowritten by his Purpleness, himself, Prince Rogers Nelson.

  • Justin Bieber would totally tear this song up!!!!

  • Timeless '80's tune...

  • I wanna bring the 80's back

  • All you people are saying how good the 80's was. Quit rubbing it in my face. It's not fair to teens like me :(

  • @Roachtrix Look on the brightside, You guys got all the cool gaming platforms, iPads, and all other the neat gadgets,

  • Thank you for this posting.Best one of this on YT.Great job Kim.

  • Wow, she is so good. So so so so good!

  • what ever happend to my yesterdays

  • i love this song!!! Stevie is my fav...and the great Bon Jovi <3

  •  There is no comparison from the music we hear today to the 80s music . We are living in a different era and need to expose teens of today and tomorrow to this old music. We miss out on the good bands like Player Baby Come Back, Styx etc. While the teens are rocking to Lady Gaga I'm listening to Lionel Ritchie Oh No, Say You Say Me, Commodors etc.

  • First he took my heart then he ran, stand back stand back....La la la la la

  • Amazing voice

  • I am a "senior citizen" and I love Stevie Nicks My favorite female singer of all times My grandsons 19 and 17 think I am a hoot

  • Beautiful song!!!

  • Don't know why people have to put down Gaga. She writes her own music, just like her fore-runner Ms Nicks. It's the ones who are just parrots, like Katy Perry and Rihanna that no NOTHING about music that are sickening.

  • I LOVE STEVIE ALWAYS :]

  • My wifes name is Rhiannon =o) Im so lucky

  • Beautiful song!!!

  • Love her!

  • Fourty Two people don't know how to Stand Back.

  • True story: Stevie was cruisin' SoCal, heard "Little Red Corvette" on the radio, & pulled over with a fragment of a melody stuck in her head. She called Prince & hummed/sang the melody. Prince showed up at the studio, & without saying a word, sat down & played the entire synth/keyboard riff, laying it down in 1 take. He then got up & "walked outta my life 4ever, like a dream", as Stevie tells it...Amazing Sh*t.

  • @Tarantulisimo Wow..Thanks! Never heard that part.

  • Kind of hard to top those vocals....

  • Love the song; hate the video.

  • Umm this song pretty much owns EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that's been out since music started to suck...

  • smoke up, it's been a banner year!

  • fucking amazing work out song too btw...

  • Uhhm could you imagine the clubs when this song was new? Getting all coked up in the fabulous 80s and then dancing to this?!?!?!

  • Comment removed

  • LEGEND.

  • shes beautiful

  • It is both depressing and comforting to me that I can only enjoy what MTV was originally intended for here on YT.

  • Prince helped write this song? That's great, I've always liked this, it's my favorite track she's ever done. Thanks for the info.

  • @Angel3243 The keyboards and synth are a dead give away 80's Prince signature. Though in his later years he was better known for his guitar

  • This song RULESSSSSSS  !!!

  • THIS SONG IS THE SHIT!!!!

  • @dolyn1971 I agree! This is also my favorite song that PRINCE wrote! Yep, he and Stevie Nicks wrote this!

  • Who is the chick? Lol

  • will always love this raspy voice :)

  • the Linus Love ft. Sam Obernik version is 10,000,000 times better!

  • @Skuksy You're mentally ill.

  • The should play this song on WMATA or any public transportation system as a whole to keep people back from the edge of the platform when a train is approaching and especially when it goes out of service.

  • Prince was doin his thang in the 80's ..Kate Bush doesn't agree though, lol!

  • Ah, you people need to lighten up. Sure I like Stevie more then Lady Gaga or many other new singers these days, but that doesn't mean they don't have talent...

  • The remix for this was an awesome rave anthem too!I love Stevie,she is the BOMB!

  • A high school student in the late 1980s modified the lyrics to the Stevie Nicks hit, “Stand Back”: “Will I stand or will I fall? Well, we’ll be dancing in hell before we get that call.

  • People prob don't know this but goths love the 80s. Picture people in Bauhaus shirts groovin on the dancefloor to this. It's that serious :)

  • Why Does video look so Blurry and whos that other lady ?

  • Top that the voice no frills just talent no fancy augmentations. True talent

  • People need to stop comparing artists.. people make music for the world and all everyone does on youtube is say who sucks and who's better.. just enjoy the music otherwise don't listen to music at all, you waste your time and everyone else's by putting down artists who are doing their best. I personally find there's a time and a place to listen to every kind of music.

  • @iTellyoueveryting Explain Rebecca Black.

  • @ReallyBadService She was only 13 last year, can't hate on a 13 year old. She created a lot of good humor though, check out Brock's Dub and laugh your ass off.

  • STEVIE NICKS is the "ROCK GODDESS"...

    BTW!

  • Yes, she said Prince was on the synths in 1983 and he proposed her to write Purplel Rain's lyrics, but she was scared caus' the song was 10mn long! She's still happy Prince did it himself.

  • Okay, I've watched this video like 50 times since youtube began, and now I have a question: What's the deal with the woman dancing around in her room every other clip ---- who IS she? Is she original with the video?

  • @wcleighty I noticed that too, the woman who posted this obviously got carried away with the video and added in a few shots of herself, haha.

  • Yeah no one today puts their heart and soul into their music they way Stevie did/does. Today's music is all "manufactured" and sucks including everyone's darling Taylor Swift.I do wish Stevie had not joined her on stage though.

  • @stratosfly9 WHOA! Taylor Swift is awesome! I know she does not match up to Stevie, but Taylor is talented.

  • Greatest woman Rock star! Love your voice, Stevie!!!!

    

  • Love this!

  • Prince on synths?

  • Comment removed

  • She is the coolest, baddest, 1 bad ass chick!!!! love her!!!

  • Stevie Nicks Hits so hard GaGa all the time! XD Great Stevie Nicks...the best ever

  • 34 people are hearing impaired from listening to too much of the noise that passes for music these days – i.e. Lady GagGag, Katy Perry and their ilk.

  • @HellBlazerRaiser

    Aw. I'm actually a big fan of Lady Gaga. BTW, "Lady GagGag?" That's a pretty ancient joke by now.

    At least you like Stevie Nicks, that counts for something :)

  • @HellBlazerRaiser strange you mention Katy Perry as a poor excuse for music these days, Stevie Nicks is actually a massive fan of Katy's and actually does the voice over in her latest single. they are also set to record together in the near future... i love Stevie to death, and nobody will ever surpass her, but people like you who dont even give artists these days a shot have no creditability here. Katy wrote a beautiful album "Teenage Dream" and has earned much respect from the music industry!

  • @HellBlazerRaiser got that spot on.

  • You know, putting "FAIR USE" on something doesn't mean you have the rights to post it, you dimwit.

  • She is so hot.Long live Stevie

  • I hate this song, and I hate this version of the video. The one where she fucks the horse is better. I sing better than Nicks, Fitzgerald, Sinatra, any of them.

  • @goldenoIdiesPete How 's the weather that fairytale world you live in?

  • @goldenoIdiesPete what the hell are you talking about? Your mama fucks horses. Stevie is a goddess! As for singing better than Nicks ? Yeah... in your dreams. Now go hang yourself.

  • So horrendously '80s that it's awesome!

  • @MuchoKiller The video, yes.  The song is timeless.

  • Ohhhh that Witch...I just love her to the maximum!

  • i need to hide under some purple kush for a few weeks!

    Just found out that P worked on this song...

  • You wonder where the drummer is roughly 30 years since this video.

    30+ years, not a short period of time...

    Anyone fill me in?

  • this song rocks go stevie nicks i ♥ you

  • i love this woman ,

  • Yes, Prince co-wrote this song.

  • @spottedliver Dont know if he wrote the lyrics, but he played the keyboards and came up with the keyboardparts.

  • yes that's right, he only did the synth/keys. saw her in concert last night so i'm still high from the seeing her!!!!

  • discovered her music after finding out that Beyonce's Bootyliscious sampled Stevie Nick's Edge of Seventreen........i think she's amazing!

  • LOVE>

    

  • my wife seeing her tonight she is probably closing with this- thats gotta be golden- i am metal but Nicks is money

  • Saw Fleetwood Mac in Australia 2010 and they sang this song - love it so much!!!! She is amazing

  • I love you stevie nicks you are a pretty flower that keeps blooming. thank you stevie spence from TN

  • 34 people need to stand back.

  • @bodaciousbetsy wow that was original

  • @bodaciousbetsy Also Lady Gaga and Miley need to stand back.

  • Lady... you AND Stevie ROCK!!!!!!!!!! Don't take any s@#!$ from those corp. Bastards!! Light that cig!!!!!

  • Im glad the real version is still on u-tube-whats so great about this video?.its out of focus all tho the concept is a good idea using footage of saturday night gig.I think video artist like Stevie nicks the real deal is the best.fair use ok but interupting an artist and spilcing yourself thinking your one of the stars on the video of all time is rather tacky with no taste.the real Stand Back video is and will always be the mona lisa of rock stars.not this fair tacky use

  • she is the most beautiful woman in music...if you were born in th 90's you would not get it

  • @billtou812 I was born in the 90s and I adore her and her music beyond mere words.

  • 33 people need to stand back

  • haha. What is going on with that lady sitting at her desk, dancing and mugging for the camera? haha. Is that you, the uploader? That's awesome, haha. Wait..that's not part of the official video is it?

  • me trae recurdos, muy buena

  • I had this single.

  • Luv this song!

  • @tomnightlife. You're sick. Why post shit like that? Dream on sicko. She deserves respect.

  • @drpepperchris39. Absolutely agree. Stevie didn't have to have a gimmick,or dress like a slut to sell records either. Such a poet and looked like a goddess.

  • thirty-three idiots.

  • EL SONIDO DE LOS OCHENTA , LA BATERIA SOBRE SALE MUCHO .

  • I love it all, her, her music and her voice!!!!!

  • I don't now what I love the most: her music, her voice or simply her !

  • I have always loved stevie, She is truly amazing. I grew up listening to her and still enjoy her music.

  • I just saw her performing on America's Got Talent 2011 - she still rocks! Her voice is unique!

  • Stevie Nicks still looking good and still rocking lets see these so called artist of today try to touch her i don"t think they can because they don"t have what stevie has and other great artist like her talent stevie nicks and other artist like her is what made MTV & VH1 back in the 80s MTV & VH1 is nothing like that anymore nothing but crap now. anyone agree with me leave me your comments.

  • It's fun to read the boomers being nostalgic... They're right, this is the good stuff. I'm rocking to more of my Dad's tunes than my generation, the artists and songs just had more soul back then. Of course that's a generalization.

  • @Radnog Your quite perceptive there has to be some truth to this, because the music will never lie to you.

  • @Radnog

    I wouldn't call it a generalization but I might be biased because my radio dials are set to 60's 70's and 80's. I am 24 years old by the way.

  • GODDESS

  • You go sister honey. Love her.

  • Love,Love,Love it!!

  • Stevie Nicks is and always be one of the best. Her music still rocks!!

  • I danced alot to this in 1998 onwards

  • I recently bought the very best of Stevie Nicks (Crystal Visions) and loved the album so much that I have ordered more of her music. Stand Back is perhaps my favourite song on the album. I also think she is a woman who knows how to look great. Why can't we have more female pop stars with her sense of style?

  • This Gal sings better than any of these other Crap Female Singersthat are out there right now,

  • Wat een kut nummer zeg!

    max wenzel

  • When somebody will live and feel this kind of music again???

  • @LUISFERNANDO1970 AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Modern music definitely has its own sound. Pity I can't get into it. Maybe because I grew through the big change in music in the 70's, 80's and even the 90's. Most wrote their own stuff. Much of today's cookie cutter bands have music written for them, songs written for them, and all sound a lot alike. How many NSYNC, Spice Girls type bands does one world need? Show me something original that is nice to listen to, and I'll change my opinion of today's music.

  • Dont act like everyone of this generation just listens to lady gaga and pitbull. Lots do, but I know lots of kids my age who listen to both or hate modern music and love classics.

  • This was the best Stevie Nicks solo ever! A wonderful time in my life.

  • you noob's wouldn't know what music is if it fell from the sky and knoked u out.......this song is a hit from way back

  • you noob's wouldn't know what music is if it fell from the sky and knoked u out.......

  • It's true the music finish in the 80's now it's all shit... pour people of this times the don't know what is real music.

  • Football Focus theme! Woohoo!

  • this is real music, stevie nicks is awwsomeee, I love her music

  • O.M.G Stevie Nicks is awesome she is the best singer in the world

  • would not be summer without Stevie Nicks :)

  • Is it wrong that I want to hear her sing this song after I cum in her mouth?

  • lol there are 30 gay people tht like c(rap) oops i meant rap. t(-_-t)

  • Anyone who doesn't KNOW that Stevie Nicks is the BOMB is RETARDED! She could sing the alphabet and STILL be better than ANYONE!!!!

    PS...I'm a black woman AND STILL say if you don't like her....YOU'RE STUPID!

  • @detroit2g oh but now dont forget haley-- i mean haley could sing circles around stevie-- or so the haliens think so--lol

  • Look into the jews before it's too late. Dump Israel-first traitors from gov't.

    And yes, this song kicks ass!

  • Stevie Nicks Kicks Gaga's Ass any Day,

  • @ozzman123 any fucking day of the week!!

  • @ozzman123 That's like saying Aqua kicks Metallicas ass anyday lol you comparing 2 totally different genres

  • @ozzman123 I like Lady GaGa so go open your mouth under your dog's ass while he's taking his evening crap.

  • @ozzman123 Even if Stevie was in a coma, she could do that. Any day of the week.

  • @ozzman123 That's not even a contest. This woman's voice is amazing in any decade. But while were at it , Kim Carnes & Any Lennox will both kick "Gaga's Ass". Pat Benatar & Blondie on the other hand I'm not to sure about. While I really like both their voices I got to be fair & give Gaga credit where it's due. Gaga's in some rare territory which for a change is nice to see.

  • @bronxboyXXX For me, it's hard to touch Stevie circa '75-'83, but Gaga's got true talent. She has won me over. Stevie looks more and more like the pioneer she was - even in the mid-'70s you did not see many female singer-songwriters that could do rock, ballads, pop - and all with one of music's most unique voices and personas. She just gets better and rocks on and on and on!

  • @bronxboyXXX

    Personally I think Pat Benatar's music is is appealing to a larger generation of people than Gaga. It definitely has something to do with the style of music. I mean, when I hear Poker face I want to throw up seriously..

  • @suny123boy1 I agree. I was just referring to the sound of their voices. (IMO) Pat Benatar flat out made nicer sounding music but I was not crazy about most of Kim Carnes selections either. Stevie Nicks on the other hand is the entire package. Awesome voice & Awesome music but Gaga is still making garbage for the most part. Other than the way Gaga dresses there is nothing all that interesting about Gaga at the moment for me because I don't listen to music with my eyes.

  • i like this song but idk why her voice is like that maybe something wrong with her throat then. she could of sing it better and sound good to to bad

  • I had to hear this damn near every morning cause of my dad. He loved him some Stevie , like it was yesterday .Time sure has standed still.

  • I read somewhere that Stevie Nicks was having so much trouble with the production of this song, that she almost gave up... She was very inspired by Prince's Little Red Corvette... That she tried to make a replica... After a lot of frustration. She gave Prince a call. He came in and actually laid down the keyborad tracks for this song.. (un-credited) And this song was born... Great stuff...

  • I love you Stevie Nicks!!!!

  • Stevie is one THE baddest chics breathing!!!!!!!

  • Hands down the best female vocalist of all time.The voice just puts me in a trance.

  • @KnowImillian

    Damn. This "white" woman" would rock any black girl into reality. Stevie is the BOMB!

  • yes she is still beautiful. I saw her on Oprah. WOW!!!

  • *happily shaking my head*

    Stevie...Stevie...STEVIE;D

  • Oh, Stevie...why are you so awesome, and why are there intermittent scenes of a lady dancing in this video?

  • Loved the way she sang this song on her birthday show at the Wiltern Theatre. Awesome concert. Still beautiful and sexy at 63 years, as evidenced by all the teens and '20s in the audience and the young men repeatedly screaming "Fuck yea!!" Love you Stevie.

  • Prince did not write this song, he simply played the backing synth. Stevie Nicks even says that "Little Red corvette" inspired this song.

  • @samusez - not only did Prince play backing synth he also helped her arrange it , as she she called him to come in ;) inside knowledge .

  • I wish I could sing like Stevie Nicks.

  • May Healing and good health come to Stevie Nicks .......

  • i willl wage $ that the back up voice on this song is carly simon ..if u can drop all lthe voices u can hear her,,, man i love this song loved being around in the 80s

  • another brilliant song written by PRINCE !!!
