Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (Official Music Video) [HD] 

My life story.

Yup

I be listening to the music.

Yup

At least a few times a year.

Amennnnn

It feels good to be right. It sounds even better.

Yerp

Lol!

I like Fleetwood Mac.

Yes is the best

yes its the famous Mark Knopfler style...very difficult to master, the thumb plays the bass notes and the rest the melody...tough as fuck./

@@antoineagagiors4013 It's really common, just not heard so much in classic rock. The masters of this style go back a long way, especially to traditional blues. My own personal modern favourite was Kelly Joe Phelps (also a masterful fingerpicking lap slide player) but he left us recently too young. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7aSCeN01BFA.html

Yeah the way Lyndsay fingerpicks is a completely unique style. Which means that even guitarists who are experienced fingerpickers can't play his songs, without a _HELL_ of a lot of practice because he fingerpicks backwards, in a way. It's like how drummers say that it's incredibly hard to play like Ringo Starr did, and he's so highly respected amongst drummers because of that. It was partly because he played a left handed drum set while being right handed, so everything he played was "backwards". And he just has such an insanely gold sense of rhythm and groove that is very difficult to replicate. Also he used the drums as a songwriter, instead of as a drummer. You can recognise every single Beatles song just by listening to the drums, with everything else muted, because each song had a completely unique drum beat. Lyndsay Buckingham is the same way but for guitar. The way he played was completely unique, completely his own. And it's very difficult to learn how to fingerpick backwards, like he does, if you've only ever fingerpicked in the traditional styles. You kinda have to throw out everything you've learned already, and start from scratch. And even then it's very difficult, but then also having to _SING_ at the same time is next to impossible for some tracks without a great deal of practice. His live solo version of Big Love is a particularly good example. It's absolutely insane playing. Buckingham is one of the top 10 guitarists ever in any genre. He has never got the respect or recognition that he really deserves.

under rated guitarist. All his solos are memorable

WAS LUCKY TO SEE THE DANCE TOUR @ WHITE RIVER AMPHITHEATER IT WAS SO AWESOME

Lol!

Oh please!

She was the Songbird ❤

So sad! She will be missed. Thanks for the memories, Christine!

She was under appreciated for her talent.

@@mandersonfilm She was absolutely appreciated for her talent. We lost a icon.

wtf are you talking about? Like it was only Stevie song? Lindsay was always main musician in the band who glued all other parts together and this song was no different. Stevie Nicks only wrote some of the lyrics. The chain is song written by all 5 (or 4) members put together by Lindsay and his guitar part really made it special.

​@@mioszw9139the only Fleetwood Mac song where the 5 of them have writing credits.

Lindsey wrote most of the songs

Stevie..broke his heart with all the drugs a sleeping with mick

Whf are you taking about Taylor

Lindsey should never have been asked to leave a very sad day

and Stevie is looking at him like "sing it to my face! you f*cking coward!"

It actually kinda mirrors the album cover, but in reverse. She's looking right and he's looking straight ahead an almost exact reflection of the cover

Lmao. Pretty much!

Watching it and it’s pretty clear there’s some hatred flying around even then

Same and I was born 33 years after they made it 2009 baby

She’s signing at him. He’s ignoring her. As it should be.

LA 1982 is my favorite version for that exact reason

You forgot Christine Mcvie awsome singer to.

Thank you!!

More likely Lyndsy was leaving till Stevie gave up butthole again...

Damn eh

Right!!!!!!! Bad ass!!!👍👍👍

@@ImmortalIdeas ✊🏻😤

He is on the never going back again live version too

@@haydnmcdonnell2397 seen it!! ✊🏻😤

YESSSSS hahahahaha he looooovin it!!!!!

Dude picks it like a banjo. It's amazing

Spot on bro

I don't think he's so underrated anymore...getting a lot of recognitions nowadays...and rightfully so

Not only that, but a pretty great singer too, and doing it all at once

Absolutely ... he's fantastic!!!

Hell Yeah!!!

Got Tingly knowing you could cut air between the Two protagonists here and Christine Keeping an eye on the Volotaile ones and Mick likewise being Master of Ceremonies at the end a look of Relief . Yes Mate it's a Classic 🇦🇺👌

I put Mick up there at the very top of the list of best drummers, I mean no one can beat Neil Peart but Mick is right up there with him, IMHO

20 years ago I was at a Fleetwood Mac gig in Oberhausen/ Germany, in the front row. I was able to see, through a small gap, that there was a second drummer hidden under the stage, who played exactly the same drum parts (same movements) like Mick. Wow, that surprised me. Anyway, I love Fleetwood Mac and I love Mick Fleetwood.

common drummer face everywhere tbh

@@rockfilmNot really surprising there's a "support band" tbh, thickens up the sound. Saw them in 2015 it was the same.

I mean this 100% as a compliment: He looks like a Muppet.

Hippie's.

they dont sing together anymore

it wasnt only about them.

I just liked this comment to be Like No. 100

she divorced his ass and made him stay in the band lol

Almost a crime how much his skill goes under the radar

@@l.christinejones8164 Underrated guitarist... because most don't know about his skills on the guitar. He's never in any top lists (of course Lukather isn't either and he's one of the finest guitarists to have picked up an ax).

@@l.christinejones8164 Uhm, I'm 44 years old, grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, in addition to Lindsey's work with Stevie before... I'm far from just discovering Lindsey Buckingham. Look at the lists and where he ranks. For example, he was at 100 on RS top 100 guitarists of all time... And look who was put ahead of him. Look at where he ranks on other lists as well. He better than the bottom of a list, and he's overshadowed in some eyes by guitarists with lots of bells, whistles and frills rather than looking at his ability, innovation, rig and technique. In addition, people that know Fleetwood Mac don't think of Lindsey (only those true musical connoisseurs who truly know all about the band know Lindsey's contributions). When the average Joe thinks of guitarists, they think of Clapton, Hendrix, Van Halen, Slash, (or God forbid Page) etc because they've been in the limelight and given the label of 'great'. In the case of Jimi and Clapton, that's true, of course. Of course, RS is pure bullshit anyway. For example, Kurt Cobain?? Laughable. Cobain was a mediocre guitarist at best. And no mention of Vince Gill, Jerry Reed, or especially Roy Clark, who was a true guitar God. Cobain above Buckingham. Stephen Stills above Lindsey. Everyone on the list is above Lindsey, and this is ridiculous. That, my friend, is the meaning of underrated.

With no pick!

This is so true. When I learn his songs on guitar I'm like how did this guy figure this out himself. He is so creative.

CAPS! GET YA CAPS HERE

🧢

What else can you say ? ! I would have been too stunned to say a word 😆 love this hand soo much

He's from Redruth in Cornwall, so "alright, my 'ansome" would do!

Christie just acts like she just don't give a shit about the 2 🤣🤣🤣

She wrecked an astonishing band because she was having a temper tantrum, I don't love it. Yes, she's an incredible singer and writer, but so is Lindsey Buckingham (as well as an amazing musician). She should have been a grown up about it. Her body language just shouts, "POUTING CHILD" to me.

Fleetwood Mac's whole career is pretty much one big Jerry Springer style fight, shrouded in mysticism and good music. Get your popcorn.

​@@shanonrowland4953 You're not giving Lindsay much agency...he knew.

Can we all just be thankful we didn’t have to go through all of this and can sit back and enjoy what came from all of their bs?

@@shanonrowland4953 I mean he was physically and verbally abusive to her over the course of their relationship. So I would say there was some merit behind her feelings

We did...and it's magical

evie 😍

I could not agree more. I would give most of my money to be able to see a show from when I wasn’t even born

😂😂😂😊

I did see them live and they were brill.

I know you jest, probably.? This concert was way after the drama of all that. They did run into a little bit of drama this year when they kicked Lindsey out of the band.

nashville slim why did they kick lindsey out

@@MolagBalls idk, haven't looked into it 2020 yo

NO LINDSEY NO FLEETWOOD 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I think it's more Stevie than Lindsey now, he's more focused on his guitar. Could also just be another part of the show. That they still have drama today though is freaking incredible

Not sure why that first part was necessary. Appreciation of Fleetwood Mac doesn't require any particular life experience. All are welcome!

He's so in to it that he looks insane...

He's a madman!!

reminds me of animal off the muppets! love it!

@@justjazzy81 I can picture him saying “Wooman!” 🤣

He is just revelling in the ton of money they all made out of this material.

Absolutely the best!!!

Feels like I'll never be the same. Sad AF

The Queen And Christine

This band was such a big part of my formative years, And Christine was a big part of that. So much talent in a majical band.

Their music does live on forever.

@@CryptoGrizzly710 sher is garbage just like your comment

I wish she looked at me like that

And he at her

He is better off w / out her ♥️♥️🎸🎸🎸🎸

You mean you can feel her bitterness over the fact that he's moved on, and she's still a single, bitter old hag.

@@melissah.9225 why be so rude?

@chaz5229 DAMN Straight!! THAT'S an understatement, BUT IT was sure Great to see them work IT Out on stage!! ROCK ON Chaz!!

Love the beat fuckin good

@@user-lc8kq6ex5d Absolutely Straight Up!! YOU Àre FUCKING Right On, Have a Great New Year's Eve and Day/Night!!!

Es ist immer noch der Wahnsinn

Amo demais ❤

Me to❤❤❤

@Blunt33bdx seen them enough to tell you that you are SOO FUCKIN' Right!!! They rocked me every time every way every year I saw them up to now!!! 2023, everything about them was wonderful exciting and different EACH time!! EVEN without Lindsey, they can Rock like hell!! FM is one Hell of a Band!!

Absolutely agree. I picked up my love for them and many other bands that played before I was born (and after) from my parents. I wouldn’t take it back at all. I have a record collection I’m very proud of and would rather buy records then most shopping 🤩

ahhh yes.....chills

@@gms77777that moment is so electric, intense and alluring. I was 13 watching this air on PBS with my dad.. he turned to me and said…they have history and laughed.😂 I had no idea at the time what he was talking about.😅❤

Yes, but they are also watching each other's lips to synchronise their harmonies. As Lindsay also has to concentrate on his guitar, most of that responsibility falls on Stevie.

She did him a favour breaking up his wife does not look like a fat grandmother who is dressed up for a funeral.

What actually happened between them, that resulted in this hate ? Sorry, I'm not familiar at all with Fleetwood Mac.

@@theprogrammerrolandmc3039 oh shut up for the love of god

@@rockdoublard okay basically it was lindsey being abusive and hurt stevie and they both hurt eachother and then they broke up and not a long time after that lindsey left the fucking band and then stevie left the band and then they reunited with fleetwood mac. It's not basically that much hate. They're now in a good place somehow.

@@Neeeeeeeeeeggg Thanxxxx a bunch ! 😃

And me xx

I agree

I was thinking more of The Ace of Spades.

...let me know when it is and I'll be there! LOVE this song!

You mean your Celebration of Life 🎉😊

Both.

He was the heart and soul of the band... period

💃🌻

Facts

@@zodspeed I saw this tour. Very very good

Im kinda jealous of how your era's music is made, i hate modern musics that my friends always hear. Old musics are the best

Count yourself lucky mate im 27 and id give anything to be able to see half of who you've seen

Well, you sad f••ker. I really wouldn't boast that "I've only been to two concerts in my life." I've been to a few more than that. And I'm only 69.

I'm 50+ & been to one concert & 3 plays. Out of the state twice, if you count a trip to Italy before I was 1/2 a year old. We all have lives that could've been better in some way. We're lucky enough to have experienced some fun culture. We can appreciate the good things & be happier or can dwell on wishes. I try to notice the good stuff. Practice helps. Meanwhile...wow, you got to see the Stones... That's freakin amazing! My brother let me tag along to Kenny Loggins. Only concert I'm likely to ever see. It was nice ngl. ☮

Sorry for your loss

Aww . I understand happen 2 me . This song hurts so much xxx

Nicely said.

its true sometimes we got to live with that

I am smiling and nearly crying after reading your beautiful comment

They said that about AC/DC in 1980.

​@@healingenso7923AC/DC were young men. Mick, John, Lindsey and Stevie are in their 70's. Factor in that Lindsey isn't currently part of the group, and John is full of arthritis these days, I reckon its safe to say that the Mac are over.

Hell yes, I first heard that bassline when I was watching F1 in 1996 as a kid. This tune was the intro song back then.

Lindsey's gotta be the most under-rated guitarist.

Oh right which one is C. McVie? The Keys ?

​@@vectraautomation4426 I doubt you could distinguish Guitar from Bass Guitar.

Correct! see Rick Beato.

His hybrid finger-picking style almost reminds me of Mark Knopfler.

I could watch him play all day!

With you there. I am mesmerized by Lindsey's superhuman guitar playing!

@@epistte i thought the exact same thing. Two true master's.

Yeah IKR? Fleetwood Mac wouldn’t be the same without them both 😢(Lindsey is still alive. He got fired 4 years ago after smiling at Stevie while she was accepting the awards)

What total CRAP no Fleetwood Mac without Peter Green

The engine of the band disgraceful to kick him out no lindsay no mac simple

Right? Loved his voice from the moment I heard it 🥰 If I’m not mistaken, he was supposed to sing lead more, but was instead replaced with the gorgeous blonde who sounds a bit like a goat lol. Too bad, would’ve loved to hear him more often than Stevie honestly 😒

@@heathermiller6046 It was Lindsey who brought Stevie into the group - he was asked to join by the band to be their new front man in the mid 70s and he said he'd only join if Nicks (his girlfriend at the time) could join too. Because he was a more prolific song writer he generally had the most say in the decade that followed on who sang what, and started making solo albums while still in the band. Of all the people who left/came back/were kicked out etc, he probably had the most control over it and definitely want replaced against his will

@@tamaskemner5739 :Please Tamas Kemmer, look up on wiki to find out who this super group is. Either you are too young to know about them or you have lived under a rock.

mesmerizing !! 🤯😱

The guitarist is Mike Campbell not LB.

@@je7887 Campbell played with them for like two years after they ‘let Lindsay go’. He wrote no songs for Fleetwood Mac, and is most certainly NOT the guitar player at this show, which was filmed twenty plus years ago.

@@je7887 That is Lindsey Buckingham lead guitarist and singing the hell out of his song.

chains they've got)

Hi Richard! Could you please tell me what form of recording you have because the cd I have is the worst recording that I own. Out of about 600. You would think a high end system would be a plus for this cd. Bryston cd, Krell preamp and amplifiers mono blocks. Thanks you so much. Oh yeah Thiel 7.2’s.

The bass was too low IMO

no doubt, im glad we agree❤

as anyone should

Word.

❤️‍🔥👍

No doubt

Brillliant bass playing by McVie!

This is the timestamp I play on repeat.

Epic!!!

Das gabe ich auch, bin heimlich an das tonband meines bruders gegangen, und hab sie alle gehört: carol king, alan parson, wolfsmond, nina hagen, fleedwood mac, cat stevens, eine bunte mischung, aber ich liebe sie alle..

me too

I am so glad I got to see them in 1976 St. Louis MO. Superjam.

My 5years old daughter loves Fleetwood Mac!, we have to show kids what real music is. I was born in the 80s so I just have the records from the best era of music.

That's because the stupid cow can't let go. He's moved on and has a happy family life and she's still alone because of her ego. Pathetic.

Whatever, they are all still making a ton of money out of that excellent material, good reason to keep singing it like you mean it.

Louis Brownisky Yes! However Lindsey said the audience responds to them doing that so some of this is playing to the crowd.

It’s so painful to watch.
