  • Fleetwood Mac is a good argument for drug legalization.

  • I think she that is Stevie is so great and I was around in the 70s and before that.

  • Brilliant...Awesome..I Think I have Seen It All Now.....God Bless Her

  • stevie nicks was a beautiful singer and woman

  • I love stevie! wish I could sing a duet with her! been my idol since age 4~!

  • Love it when it pans out to lindsey bopping away while shredding the guitar!

  • Thanks for posting. Wish I would of seen them in concert back in those days

  • Epic performance even if you can the coke lines round stevie's nostrils!

  • Love her hair especially when it brushes across the mic..........

  • Coked-up magnificence....

  • @ouvrier i was just thinking how she looks like a hot mess here

  • People that appreciate the patina that's all over this footage can watch it much like they're watching an old silent film, at least visually. The vignettes of Japan are really well stitched into the music. It takes this performance and documents a lot more than just Stevie, the song or the moment. She is framed like an art deco butterfly... a Tiffany Hat Pin.

  • well cool

  • What the fuck is Stevie on? hahahaha

  • if you dont liket this song then fuck you

  • LOL to the first two comments I saw on here thanks!!! also, this is my favorite song by Fleetwood Mac ...doesn't get much better...

  • More cowbell!!

  • I could listen to Fleetwood Mac forever. I love Stevie. That group went through so many changes and were always consistently great. If you can find it, listen to the album Tramp...not Super Tramp. That was before FMac but that's where it all started.

  • babe

  • The opening of this song never fails to grab my ears,mind and soul.

  • Take your stupid texts off the video! SO ANNOYING!!!!!

  • Her hair looks awesome and her performance was on a different level whether it was drug induced or not. Brilliant in every way.

  • 3:42 Would love to see a whole video of this done to music. And what is the area of expertise shown?

  • thank you "Rumours " was the very first album on vinyl i bought.....spent endless hours listening wore out the needle on the record player..... love it.....

  • well sweetheart as many looks as shes had that wasn't one of them but everyone has their own opinion!

  • Deffinately not a good hair day . However, she sings good no matter what.I don't think those people there understood her and,she was out of her elements.I understand Stevie.How she sings and why she sings the way she does. Even why she moves the way shedoes. If she was to go back there now they might better understand her. But I think she was just tryin to get through that and move on.

  • @lisa42779 not a good hair day? her hair looks awesome

  • Whether she is stoned out of her mind or not, she can still sing. Great performance here. And Lindsey on the guitar at the end is awesome too.

  • Hard to watch her in such a drug induced performance. She is still amazing though!

  • @born2scare Yeah, totally coked. Glassy eyed golden goddess not unlike the Frampton Comes Alive album cover. Different world back then.

  • Very interesting, psychedelic intro, so why should I skip it;)

  • Her hair and makeup gays clearly had the night off.

  • Fuck yeah cowbell!

  • @metronomic1 LOL! One of few bands that cowbell makes absolute sense. Guess that was another 70's thing, it worked. Gotta love the floor tom action too. Gave it a tribal feeling.

  • 2:09 into it.  Look at those eyes! Skipped going to see them in '77 for FREE at the Dane county Jr Fair in Madison WI. The pinheads I was with wanted to chase the east Madison skanks instead of hearing the goddess.

  • Stevie really shouldn't have shared her coke with her hairdresser.

  • @MickeyYahoo What!?!?! She has beautiful hair!!

  • @MickeyYahoo I love the hair. I'm tired of everyone straightening their hair today. It's performers need bigger hair and more intense make-up on stage to be seen from the cheap seats. I think Lyndsey's hair is bigger! Best live version of this song that I've seen.

  • I would really like to see this song redone with contempoary Japans Nucler Issues.

  • I went to see Stevie in concert last week in Boston. What a great performance. She can still sing great and she put on a great show. Loved her performance of this song and also Rhiannon, Dreams, and lots of great songs from her new album 'In Your Dreams'. I was so thrilled to see her. She will always be the best female singer of all time to me.

  • i would do stevie nicks shes my goddess...FYI im 18......the 70s stevie nicks i would do......fuk were can i find me a girl like that fuuukkkk i needdd a tttiiinnneee machine

  • SWEET JESUS I STILL LOVE STEVIE

  • Temazo!

  • Guess what?! I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!!!

  • "Reeeeeeeeeaaaaaal fuckin`high on drugs" TOOL Gotta love her, though!

  • yeah she looks like shes on something but who cares - trippy version of this song and it makes ME feel like I am on something lol  - AHA Mic looks like Osama 5:06

  • Downers: no good for Stevie.

  • stevie nicks is so beautiful...my mom always tells me that when she was in high school the album rumours had just come out and it was like THE THING. all the girls tried to dress like her! go fleetwood mac what an awesome band.

  • My only suggestion is you not put those annoying bubble asking if anyone has any suggestions!

  • Amazing! I knew the song from Hole's cover! It's always amazing for me to discover that great songs have their history with greater former artists! Like Sympathy for the Devil. :)

  • This is perfect and she is a great performer,butt i like evenso that live number of 1999 with Sheryl!!

  • her eyes are the size of texas 

  • is she on drugs or what here ?

  • LOVE IT!!

    

  • Why would I want to skip the intro?

  • The number in the lower left-hand corner, is that the US National Debt?

  • @tomada36 I wish 6.5 million is nothing to the 14 trillion.

  • @tomada36 no its much larger than that!

  • Stevie Nicks musical beauty shall live on far beyond the physical beauty that she possess. She looks like a godess and sounds like an angel. Love, light and happiness to you who brings so much joy to us.

  • Thinking about snagging this dvd from Demonoid but wanted to see a bit of it first. Thanks for putting it up....yeah, I'll be grabbing it. Good shit, grainy and unpolished as it may be it does capture the post-Greene line-up at their height.

  • Its obvious the whole band is high.....

  • There are moments of near-perfect blend of grace and rage - like podiodi says, she's too mellow for most of the song. In any case, she takes Courtney Love to school - Hole's version is good, but not great.

    Switching gears: IT Crowd kinda spoiled Stevie's scarf dance - whenever I see clips of her doing it I think of Jen parodying it in an episode from one of the more recent seasons.

  • what memories...

    i was riding my skateboard in van nuys- smoking a doobie back in '77, while they were 'chasing the dragon' there in japan!

  • epic

  • awesome!! thank you for reminding everone why stevie nicks is the goddess of rock:)

  • I love Fleetwood Mac, but I have to wonder how stoned Stevie was during this performance.

  • @RainNBlood I'm sure she had done plenty of " gold dust" before this show

  • Here's a tip quit overlapping text over EPIC songs!

  • @William0zero0 turn them of then

  • @William0zero0 Agreed!!!

  • Probably Coke with a little help from screwing BOTH Lindsey and Mick.

  • i think at that point she was having major problems with every one who was screwing with her head maybe a C thing

  • only suggestion i have is , STOP with the popups during the video!!!!

  • Thank god there's a surviving live clip of this track from the era of its release. Nicks has always been a great performer but she possessed some extra heavy-duty magic between 1975-79. Any live clips from that period are to be treasured like platinum!

  • @mtopper66 I disagree. I would say she possessed extra heavy duty magic between 1973-1982. Look at Buckingham Nicks live. Look at the Bella Donna Tour. Look at her singing wild heart back stage in 1982. I think her best friend dying in 1982 and then going extensively into coke and the klonopin is what rly fucked her up.

  • Absolutely Fabulous!

    Great closing act for COACHELLA '77!!!!

  • absolutely AMAZING! love this!!!! especially around 3:30 uhh look at her, she was meant to be behind that microphone ahhhhhhhhh

  • bieng mean to stevie why

  • my witchy woman

  • stevie is the goddess Raaninon

  • She was a perfect girl. I hope she knew that at some point.

  • Probably coke fueled, but insanely awesome. Great stuff. Shatter the illusions of love.

  • This video has been colorized by computer - at least Stevie's part has.

  • @abingdon66 What makes you think it's been colorized? Stevie wore that much make-up & still does. Just saw her the other night. Videos in 1977 weren't sophisticated enough or bothered to be colorized. And for all the people who say she looks wasted, she still makes those expressions & eye intensity; she's singing this great & still sounds the same way. I took video on 3/27/11 & she sounds the same! This is a bang-up performance by both she & the band. If they were on drugs it didn't matter.

  • @Grendelmonster8u Stevie's hair looks partly gray and so do the faces of some of the band members. Her makeup "stops" abruptly and has distinct boundaries. The colors are flat, instead of graded. Not sure if I'm using the right terms here, but when b&w videos and old films were colorized during the 1980s, many of them had these flat "poster" colors. In any case, I wasn't criticizing the performance at all.

  • @abingdon66 Her hair is frosted (which my mom did also then). In a 1978 concert she went back to the light brown & streaked blond look. In early 80s videos (disco era!) her make-up has distinct borders & when I saw her last Sun night & I had a close view seeing her face her blush wasn't blended as much as street make-up. There may be something to the quality of the film (Mick being real dark) & the spotlight on her. But her hair was definitely not grey then. Details may seem nitpicky, but...(:

  • I wore a few of their albums out in the 70"s thanks for sharing :-)

  • 17 peole who hit dislike, are mad that tou have footage new to them, they have thought they saw it all. Thanks man!!

  • There was something in the 70's & 80's.... must've been the coke or fuckin chernobyl but that era had THE BEST ARTISTS AND BANDS THAT EEEVERRRR walked the face of this planet... from Zeppelin to Deep Purple to Fleetwood and on and on.... u just don't get this kind of quality today. I wish I was alive back then... rock on Stevie

  • God bless Japan in these trying times!

  • She looks so waisted, I'm surprised she made it through the song.

  • I'm sure everyone in the audience was so high that it was an amazing experience and one many cant remember, I wish i could have been there!

  • Well I say that is was a great Fleetwood video. Drugs, Drugs, well now you can buy them at 7/11(K2) 

  • OK, so she's a high functioning, beautiful 'coke' head. Long as there is no 'coke' mustache, I don't need to be reminded...

  • Stevie coke coke coke coke wasted

  • "...follow those who pale in your shadow..."

  • loved it .. thankyou .. !

  • Thank you.  Something other than the obvious. Excellent choice!!

  • 17 people better put their kingdom up for sale. :)

  • act high,baby.

  • Wow. Amazing Fleetwood Mac and the wonderful Stevie Nicks. Completely mesmorising. 35 years on and it is still an all time favourite tune. Please tour again soon Fleetwood Mac with the classic lineup including Christine.

  • Yeah, who cares about the drugs, so many people were doing drugs then it's like ~shrug~. This is a good live performance and video, thanks. Definitely their peak with their '75 album and the '77 Rumours was such a great album - listened to it over and over...thought Stevie was cool.

  • The best version of this I have seen. Glad I hit upon it.. Geez she had it

  • I think that was the same year I saw them at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. I've always been a fan. I use to have posters of Stevie Nicks way back then.

  • love the segment with the martial arts 

  • @trinicanta Exactly! From the martial arts video portion (approx halfway thru) to the end. Lindsey jamps in w approx 2 min to go. Pure magic! Stevie's voice intertwines perfectly with the instrumentation. Love this live version of Gold Dust Woman. The band is playing on all cylinders....maybe even enhanced turbo charged cylinders...LOL!

  • Outstanding "live" version of Stevie Nicks' Gold Dust Woman. The instrumentation is crystal clear. You can really hear how the classic Fleetwood Mac, drum & baisss compliments Stevie's voice, so well, on this video. The last 2-3 minutes are pure magic.

    Stevie's voice & Lindsay's guitar rock it out to the John McVie/Mick Fleetwood beat!

  • she's got cocaine eyes

  • she was definitely the 'gold dust woman' back then..

  • very cool vid. thanks.

  • Love it. RAW!!! Before the legend of Stevie Nicks began.

  • Umbelievable. Thank you so much !

  • This version sounds Asian.I guess that makes, considering where they were playing.

  • FC...I love nearly every video you have put out there for us...ty. This one is not up to snuff.

  • Thanks flamingcrystal. I love this. My crystal is the saphire!

  • Dnload the audio from this track at searchripgrab doht cohm.

  • one of the most beautiful woman and talented song writers ever.

  • shes still fine at 63 and going strong

  • pretty nice

  • My favorite Stevie Nicks song, but I like the one from The Dance vidio better

  • Shes the Queen!

  • Comment removed

  • She is just as beautiful drugged out as she was then, as she is sober now. I wish I had what she is on in this video..! :)

  • LOVE Stevie!!

  • @jetskidrummer She is a total classic singer !! She is and always will be awesome !!!

  • incredible. thank you for sharing. really captures the moment.

  • in her prime....right here..!!  " gold dust women... shes a dragon....women..women.... i love that part.

  • great performance--thank u 4 sharing! & i love 2 watch mick go nuts on the drums!!

  • what an awesome video  thanks

  • This is one of her peaks. The height of her powers. Also, check out the version of this song done with "Bob Welch and Friends." That version is a little more intense where this one is a bit more sublime and mellow.

  • @blemelin Yes, I agree woth what you said about Bob Welch and friends being more intense, but I believe I like this version better, especially the end here with Stevie vocalizing and Lindsey jamming on the guitar. Both are good though.

  • An Awesome Goddess sent to earth

  • Waylon Jennings does a great cover version of this on the Waylon & Willie album.

  • 2:30-2:37...one of the sexiest music snippets ever.

  • FM should play this song like this now-jamming at the end.

  • iIjust did that,just now,a long time ago, i wounder if they know thire song went" Doug"?

    Look at what that song keeps calling,If you see her tell her Doug

    an then now i said oh.I did that, I've tryed to be heard in sound from here.

    and then i became a chistan,and thought all soungs arn't suppost to say doug,and all most did it in the name of the lord but then thought no then it woun't be reconized as raw.

    So I decided to make it all say Doug,when ever i could.Douglas Oscar Garner

  • Cocaine is a hell of a drug...

  • herion and liquor..much..lol

  • Stevie is looking smokin hot in this video but i think she had a bit to much gold dust before the show if you know what i mean. LOL

  • awesome song. awesome singer. New Stevie in March 2011...WooHoo!!

  • What a fucking magical voice she has, I didnt grow up in this era at all but she has a majestic soulful voice and an absolute AMAZING fucking stage presence

  • Her stage presence was magical....it is impossible to take your eyes off of her...

    Stevie's voice has gotten alot stronger with age... no she can't hit the high notes on Rhiannon or Dreams like she once did but the rest of her range sounds so much fuller and less wobbly than it used to

  • I have seen Fleetwood in concert in 91, also saw Stevie by herself in 1986, lifetime fan, they are awesome!!!

  • I worry about the girl in this video, although it was some years ago. She is clearly so out of it. That's very sad, but I'm given to understand that she's cleaned up her act. Well, Fleetwood Mac itself is a textbook case of how you can succeed wildly inspite of yourselves ... many of the stuff that came out of Buckingham/Nicks was just so incredibly hostile, and it spilled over to the others. Makes me wonder ...

  • @westernjen How can you say it was so incredibly hostile. Stevie wrote some great songs that I don't think were at all hostile. Lindsey the same, although I must say that I prefer Stevie's songs over Lindsey's. This song for instance, is almost like Stevie spilling her soul, saying yes, I use cocaine. She knew it wasn't a good thing, but it is so easy to become an addict. Yes, she cleaned up her act, since, which is good.

  • Every fucking thread re: Stevie coke coke drugs etc. Stfu and get over it.

  • @stevepaxify

    yeah, gotta love how people think it was just stevie nicks strung out on coke... it was almost everyone back then.

  • @stevepaxify COKE COKE COKE COKE COKE COKE COCAINE HEROIN SPEED VODKA COKE COKE COKE
