Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (REACTION!!!) (CLASSIC ROCK MARATHON!) 

FYI!! This is an older Patreon exclusive video but we thought it would be fitting to include this in the 'Classic Rock Marathon'! Oh and there is a GREAT chance that this will be BLOCKED so enjoy it while you can lol. Thanks for watching!

Stevie Nicks had and still has a whole generation in love with her

You picked up on the basic theme of the lyrics: a relationship falling apart. The key part you're missing is the context of the band. Fleetwood Mac, just before the recording of this and the previous album, consisted of Mick Fleetwood (drums), John (bass) and Christine McVie (keys, vocals), Lindsey Buckingham (guitar, vocals), and Stevie Nicks (vocals). Of the five, four were romantically linked: John and Christine McVie were married, and Buckingham and Nicks were in a long-term non-marital relationship. Just before the recording of this album, both of those relationships collapsed. You know how they say great art often comes from a place of pain? Well, that's exactly the story of this album. This album was fueled by an unbelievable amount of drama, and it seethes with emotional pain. I mean, imagine having a nasty breakup, and then having to see that person again almost right away for days upon days in the confines of a recording studio... This is one of the songs Nicks wrote in response to her breakup with Buckingham. Buckingham wrote some songs of his own, including "Go Your Own Way". The breakup was Nicks's decision, not Buckingham, and his bitterness about that is really clear in his lyrics. You guys should really react to "Go Your Own Way" soon. It would be cool to see you guys compare these two songs, and pit the two perspectives against each other. PS: Any live video of these songs is worth watching to see how much tension there is on stage between Nicks and Buckingham. Sometimes, they look like all that's keeping them from attacking the other is the need to stay close to their microphone.

"If Fleetwood Mac could write "Rumors" on a wild months-long coke binge while they were all breaking up with each other than I can make it through this week" - Unknown... but oh so true. LOL

Stevie is singing lead vocal in this, Lindsey Buckingham sings harmony on the verses and Christine McVie is blended in on the layering(and sings that part live)

Stevie Nicks....the only person that can be in a bad with her ex-boyfriend and make him play songs she wrote about him.

You gotta do “The Chain” after hearing this one

As a formally trained musician, I was never into Fleetwood Mac, but I gave this album a chance. I was immediately struck by its sound, it might be the best produced and engineered rock album, it just sounds perfectly captured and balanced. Then I realized the songs are awesome and I've been hooked ever since

Stevie is her nickname, her given name is Stephanie. The guitarist Lindsay Buckingham is one of classic rock’s most underrated guitarists. BTW you should add the whole album to your playlist. Pure gold.

Sarah, Gold Dust Woman, Rhiannon, The Chain, the list goes on. So much talent

Boy if you guys don't do "the chain" breh.....

"I don't mid repetition if I like what's being repeated" nicely said!

I'm 72 yrs old and I never get tired hearing this group. They were awesome when they came out in the 70's. I have every albumn they made on Vinyl and CD's.

There simply isn't a voice like hers in music.

There's a comfort to classic rock. It's like an old blanket you curl up with on the couch.

When Fleetwood Mac were recording their _Rumors_ album, they were all in emotional turmoil. Mick Fleetwood (drummer) was divorcing his wife (not in the band), John McVie (bass guitar) and Christine McVie (keyboards, vocals) were having a major split in their marriage, and Stevie Nicks (vocals) was ending an 8-year relationship with Lindsey Buckingham (lead guitar). The whole album is full of turmoil (in a good way for the listeners). When Christine McVie wrote "You Make Lovin' Fun" it wasn't about her husband. "The Chain" is the only song where every band member wrote some part of it. I read somewhere that Stevie and Christine shared a hotel room near the studio because they didn't want to go home with their men, but felt that the band was important and the album was important. The group stayed together for several more albums after this one, even if their personal lives had fallen apart.

Like a heartbeat drive you mad, in the stillness of remembering what you had! The most powerful line in the song. So haunting

This is what happens when talented people rip each others hearts out and than record an album.

absolutely should listen to "The Chain" if you haven't already, what a song!

Stevie Nicks was every teenage boys untouchable dream in the 70’s

In the hip hop world the word player or playa is thrown around all the time. It amazes me she was singing about players way back in the 70's. It makes you wonder how long that phrase has really been around. Amazing song, amazing review. You guys are great!

My favorite line is " players only love you when they're playing "

Love this song. Love this reaction. For more Fleetwood Mac id recommended "landslide" and "the chain"

That whole album is fantastic, not a bad song on it. One of my all time favorite albums!

The word you are looking for when describing this band as a old band sounding new , Its called timeless. Timeless music. It was awesome back then and it still is now

check out "The Chain," "Rhiannon," and although it's one of their most popular, "Landslide." all beautiful songs

Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty - Stop Draggin My Heart Around

This whole album is one big domestic dispute between the members of the band

The whole Album is a playlist lol

One of the best SOUNDING albums ever. rest of album is also killer.

“Layering” before layering (and auto-tune) was a thing. two people singing together in harmony. Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie.

Stevie Nicks is magical. She is one of a kind. When I listen to this album, all I can think about is how hard it must of been for them to be in the same room as each other - which Stevei said she often had to leave and write alone. Such a unique band with a rich history.

Fleetwood Mac is a band with three lead singers that complement one another's voices. Most times what you hear is three voices - Stevie, Christine and Lindsay.

Fleetwood Mac is so chill!! Keep them coming. Do THE CHAIN next!

This song has an out of time, hypnotic effect to it.

That's actually TWO female voices harmonizing so beautifully in this classic. No disrespect to Stevie, but you have to also give proper credit to Christine McVie, so totally underrated both as a singer and keyboardist for the band, going back to the early 70's incarnations of The Mac. Shout out to "Christine Perfect"!

Imagine getting to hear a Goddess for the first time

Been listening to this song for 42 years. Not sick of it yet...

Fleetwood Mac must listens; "The Chain" (killer bass line);"Go Your Own Way"; & "Big Love".

If this song got you feeling a kind'a way , " Silver Spring" is gonna REALLY mess you up !

I love when people discover older music and have a great response. This is great education for everyone.

One thing that elevates Fleetwood Mac's slow songs from being "just a smooth song" is the drumming. The way they throw in sweet fills in every single break. Give Mick Fleetwood some props.

Gold Dust Woman is just hypnotic.. Fleetwood Mac is among my fav mood music.

Stevie Nicks is and always be the sound of a generation

The lyrics hit hard for me. I cheated on my wife and this is like her singing to me. I feel horrible and every time I listen to this song it reminds me of what I lost.

Christine McVie is the second female voice layered over that of Stevie Nicks.

Guy's, Stevie Nick's & Tom Petty did a duet. The song: "Stop dragging my heart around".. Also a classic rock song by two of the greatest vocalists ever. Rip:Tom Petty 💝

I’m so happy you guys are brining music to the masses and showing your clear appreciation of it.

George: "Sooo... Stevie Nicks is a female?" Me: *falling off my bed dying of laughter.. OMG! I love it!!! Y'all really are new to Fleetwood Mac. George, you're a Fleetwood virgin! (and my crush on George just increased tenfold) Hehehe... But seriously, *every* song on this album is awesome. You really can't go wrong... And one of the best albums for road trips!

The entire album should be “playlist” I stood in line for hours waiting on it to hit the store shelf!

I know these dudes are gonna flip out over a certain portion of The Chain.

The harmony, lyrics and weepy guitar slay my soul. Dreams is my favorite song of all time... you've got to listen to Rumours ... daily. It is dope.🌬🔮⚡ And yes this is my first choice!

Stevie Nicks Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie, their voices melded together so well it sounded like gold

Stevie Nicks is the only woman who can sing a song about her sorry ass man ,make him play guitar , sing back up all while moving on with another band mate

They need to just listen to the whole album from start to finish.

2 years later and I still watch this video. I love that y’all immediately picked up on the overall vibe of this song and how it makes you feel AND loved it.

The term you're looking for to describe the dreamy, flying feel of this song is ETHEREAL.

The Chain Stop dragging my heart around

The 70’s were THE BEST time to be a teenager. I’m so, so, SO glad that I was there to live it and love it. It truly was the best of times. I would relive it in a heartbeat!

Fun Fact... Stevie Wrote This Song In 10 Minutes 😭💯

Been going through your catalog. Love the honesty. Love when you both dont want to stop listening to comment. Your Silence is real.

My dad says that when I was like 4 or 5, that I would ask him to play this over & over again while I spun around the living room...Then I spent the better part of my teenage years trying to emulate her writing & style...By time I hit 20, I owned at least a dozen pairs of boots & literally a hundred scarves, lol...Great memories, thanks...!

Rumours may be the best album of all time.

It is her singing. Other female vocalist band member Christine McVie.

I love rediscovering these classics through you guys. Thank you!

Many of the songs Stevie Nicks wrote we're about her long time boyfriend, Lindsey Buckingham, and their turbulent relationship. He is the guitarist in Fleetwood Mac. He wrote several about her too (You can go your own way). Imagine going on stage every night and singing songs written about you and your messed up relationship. That's one reason their songs have so much emotion. Can't go wrong with Fleetwood Mac. So many hits, great band. Worth your time to dig into their catalog

Stevie was in a relationship with Lindsey Buckingham, another member of Fleetwood Mac, and this is her break up song with him. NOW. It's time to listen to Lindsey's breakup song from the same album! "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac is another colossal classic rock hit from one of the best ever.

Your reactions are so beautiful! No computers or anything. Harmony and great musicianship !

She is singing this directly to Lindsay. So much real music drama. An opera really.

Stevie Nicks - woman Lindsey Buckingham - man. And yes you guys are right, the groove IS gonna get you.

The best way to describe the tone of Stevie's voice is sultry. That's the word you were looking for I believe

The whole time I just looking at Lindsy's picture on th3e album cover like......they have no idea he is right there! great job guys! as always

This is music that makes you feel something inside your soul that you can’t really describe

There’s a reason why Rumours has sold so many units. Every song is amazing.

Perfect starter song for them. One of their best. Stevie Nicks is the singer in this song but frontman Lindsey Buckingham sings a lot of their songs as well and they sing together in many tunes also. Yes, Stevie is female and Lindsey is male, go figure! Buckingham is one of the most underrated guitarist there is and Nicks is one of the best vocalist ever. A band that had many great hits, a staple in classic rock.

This is amazing! I am 52 and I have been loving this music for so long. I love their reaction! This is classic brilliant music and I am happy these guys appreciate it.

Saw them in concert in 78 and from the 13th row on the floor you could "feel" the drums...Mick is a wonderful drummer.

There is something magical when Stevie, Lindsey, and Christine harmonize.

Silver springs! The emotion in that song! She is a national treasure. She is this phenomenal live as well.

This is my favorite type of reaction that they do. A song that I have been listening to for decades that they are unfamiliar with. Watching them discover a great song and the enjoyment they get. Sometimes they don't always like what I think is a great song but they are always honest.

10/10 album. One of the best produced albums of all-time. They made magic.

"Go your own way" definitely a must play

Two words: THE CHAIN But also Stop Draggin' My Heart Around is stellar

Love the comments, and the channel. Keep rockin the jam.

The dynamics in their vocals is one of many reasons why I love this band, and this song is just other worldly.

The whole song was directed at Stevie's "Ex" Lindsay Buckingham, who was standing right next to her on stage playing guitar for Fleetwood Mac.

Wait till they find out that the "player" in the song is the guitarist in the band lol

Seeing George fall so hard for "Dreams" is everything to me 😂💜✨

Lol you guys crack me up!! This song is a classic! I saw her in concert she’s amazing!!

Favorite band of all time. 3 different lead singers makes it sound like 3 different bands. HAVE TO DO "THE CHAIN"!

"The Chain" by Fleetwood Mack - It is their best song.

Just seeing this video but the entire album is actually insane. Probably one of the greatest albums of all time. Listen to the entire album.

13:16 she’s like a witch of some sort, her voice is just tantalizing and it just lures you in. It’s amazing and so iconic and like nothing else. Like a creepy lullaby that you can’t stop listening to.

You have to check out the Song "The Chain" from Fleetwood Mac

I remember hearing this song around 4 years old and 45 years later it never gets old. Her voice is amazing. One of my favorite go to bands.

You guys really honor these songs you invest your time in. Thank you. This is great...

Haunting vocals of the legendary Stevie Nicks

Fleetwood Mac- The Chain Fleetwood Mac - landslide Ps. Bone Thugs sampled “The Chain” for their track “break the chain”. Two absolute classic tracks from Fleetwood mac

You two are delightful! Thanks.

I got this album for Christmas in 1977 when I was 13. Great album. One of the greatest rock bands in history. Super soulful. Harmonies like velvet heaven. Unique rhythm section, one of the best guitars in rock n roll. 3 singer song writers who each write their own songs when they sing lead. Super energetic. Super classy. And live. They are as one.
