Leather and Lace (Henley/Nicks) Demo Version * Stevie Nicks Intro HQ 

Fucking Don Henley man.. his voice is so unique and he just has a power and a view on things.. only he could do this with Stevie Nicks.

What a great version. Clean and crisp vocals, with just a guitar. This one goes on the list.

Don Henley has the best rock and roll voice ever.

You know........There is always some singer who comes around and compares to someone. No one will or has yet compare to Stevie Nicks. One in a lifetme voice.

Love this raw version, if it wasn't for this platform we would never have heard it.

The voices of angels. Two legends together.

One of the greatest Duets of all time.

I love this extremely raw version of this song. And it is a very hard toss up for me as to whether Leather and Lace with Don Henley or Landslide holds the favorite place in my heart! They both are breathtaking! ❤️❤️🙏🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

I love his voice

This demo is the best version of them all.

This is a perfect example of what ya get from two extremely talented entertainers singing a playing music, without synthesized, computerized background music! You get " AWESOMENESS and PERFECTION" , and you just can't beat that! Loved it and thanks so much for sharing! 👍👍😎

I can’t imagine anyone else doing this song such justice.

Omg her voice is so lovely and full of character. Guitar only shows off her voice and Spirit. I would be Amazing to write even one song this wonderful. Thank you poet Stevie Nicks.

I love this song and honestly this is the best version I have ever heard.

It's one😢 of my all-time favorites 😊

Her voice is so pure here. And Don also as amazing. Beautiful and thank you very much for sharing..

Stevie Nicks is my all time favorite female singer and songwriter! Just love her! Amazing lady!❤️

When music...was music.

But they did leave each other. Two bright stars cant occupy the same space. They will destroy each other. A beautiful song never the less.

Never heard this version before, very nice!!

Precious rendition. Masterpiece.

wow Don's voice is so smooth even in a raw recording, amazing.

❤. When Stevie sings her magic, it’s like her raw, beautiful spirit is sending out love.

Such a great song with a back story I never knew about

OMG so raw, so heartfelt, so freaking true no matter how many layers you have to peel away !

Unplugged raw version no acoustics nothing but pure vocals and heart

On top of everything else, pretty sure that’s a rare example of Stevie playing guitar. As she jokes at the end, it’s not sterling, but shows she could play more than well enough to write incredible songs like this one.

The history to this song is amazing!! To find out it was supposed to be for Waylon and Jesse is really cool. The demo is even better!!!

Now it's 37 thumbs down!!! Who, in God's name, are these people?!! I've always loved this song, and this demo version is bare bones beautiful. Hey 37.....WAKE UP and REALLY listen. Please.

They were meant to sing this together. I can't believe how well they compliment each other. I have hoped that one day they would put together a complete album. Love you both very much. Peace and be safe.

This is going to be my wedding song someday...

My parent's wedding song. It's always been special. They often joked that was the reason I became Stevie obsessed. My dad is gone now, but I just sent this to my mom...I hope she loves it. I know it's hard for her to listen to, but I couldn't just let this go, it sounds beautiful this way. Stevie using her upper register is so rare, ugh, it's perfect.

Two golden voices.

The memories around this song, so many!

I agree whole heartedly with earlier comment. Too many times music is over produced. This version is unbelievable. Music doesn't have to be perfect. Raw versions like this...its the music breathing... Beautiful.

Yes and WE WERE\ARE LUCKY to have lived during her reign as a Rock Goddess. I get emotional when I think of her. She was my first crush, she was and is a major part of my life. When I hear her I am transported back to those beautiful days when my family were alive and we spent all of our time listening to music. I miss them all, but they come back to visit when I listen to my Stevie. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Its a beautiful song it shows that it was very carefully crafted and lyrics revised over and over. Beautiful 😍

❤❤ my favorite version of this song ❤️❤️ wow beautiful

This SONG IS A CLASSIC ONE BUT SADDENNES ME SO DEEPLY....ERYTIME I HEAR IT I SMILE THEN I CRY....HEART WRENCHING TRUTH....🤷

This is the best version I have ever heard if it were not for this platform no one would ever hear this version

So good to hear the story of this fabulous song. Ty I still love it❤

The 2 best Rockers EVER! Unquestionable! Love you Stevie and Don Forever!

How flipping talented and blessed you must be to be able to sit down and write this for someone and be PERFECT!!

The Best songs are the the ones that don't need electricity. The Greatest songs are the "originals", played live, instead of in a studio. This song brought the best of Rocks two bands together, Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. I am so grateful for this song, for Stevie Nicks and Don Henley. I've been playing this song on guitar and singing it, since my first year of High School and I play it, to this day. I can no-longer sing, due to polypoid-corditis, but I can still dream. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸✍🏻♥️🇺🇸✨🌍💫

I’m am awestruck by this music-and the added inflection in Stevies voice,is so easy on the ears - Bravo!

Gawd.....love this beyond the stars. My brother & I used to do this song, acoustic, similar to this. It's a sweet song,,,,,,one for the heart. ❤🎵🎶🎵❤

The commentary at the beginning just adds to the specialness of this sweet poem.

Don Henley - just a genius with his voice. Imagine the voice on their child....

This is beautiful, and I feel like this raw version should have been left alone and put on the album in addition to the one on there. LOVE this just the way it is

What a great song , love it

My Mom loved this song. She said it was her and my Dad's song.💕🌹

Wow....first time hearing this version. Love it!!!

Sometimes a song is most beautiful in its simplest form. Recently lost my MOST beautiful wife of 27 years. This song always brings a tear to my eyes, thinking about her.

Those two voices could launch rockets into the stars.............Rock Stars..........jetting it in 1975,,,,,,still in orbit today........

What a treat!

I like Stevie's Demos the best ❣️🌟

Dang! I would love to have heard Waylon and Stevie sing this!

So amazing. Her voice is so amazing.

My goodness...the story *and* the demo...what a gem....

I have never cared for this song, stumbled upon this, and this is beautiful! So raw and authentic. Thank you for sharing, it's giving me chills.

The only duet that could have pulled this song off so perfectly

Totally Awesome!

Beautiful woman, have been one of your biggest fans since "Woodstock" I was only 60 miles away at the time, but couldn't get there cos they closed the roads so we watched on tv! & that was just the beginning of your amazing career ~♡~

Absolutely! My favorite!!

You do what Waylon wants

I had always loved Steve and Tom Petty the best but this is so raw and real. Thanks

So glad she was dating Don Henley!! We would have never had this song!! Love this version of Leather and Lace.

I’ve always loved this song & had no idea she wrote this for Waylon & Jessi. Love the “back story” of how it all came about. Not a huge fan of this version bc of the tempo but the pure rawness of it I love. So glad the released version was a little slower & the music (while maybe a little too polished) has so much more feeling & their vocals still capture ALL the feeling of the lyrics AND music! Thanks for sharing! Great story & rare glimpse into the raw magic of how this song came to be.

Two very fine voices, great with just a guitar, raw talent, been listening to Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles and Don Henley on tour

I love ❤️ love ❤️ Don Henley. This is brilliant thank. You. Stevie. Don so lucky. To be part.

Fascinating interview. All this info about the history about why, and how a song was written.

Stevie is so good at singing in tune

Awesome 👌 Love It 💘. One of The ALL Time GREATEST MEMORIES EVER ❤ BEAUTIFUL SONG.! LOVE THIS VERSION. NEW SUBSCRIBERS...

She's right on this song! And i'm herding this song from raw form right now. Makes me think of the recording of song! And also listening to i love Stevie Nicks and don Henley on this track. When i was young kid living in salt lake city at time when i herd this song on the radio! It gets me back home there when i listen to it! And they both still rocked right now!

What irony...Stevie wanted to write a song for someone famous...like...herself. Not to take anything away from the great WJ, but, Stevie, especially with FM...pretty famous by any metric. On the released version, besides Stevie's incredibly emotive delivery, Roy Bittan's keyboard is magical. Incredibly tasteful. Amazing how diverse the music was in 1981/1982. Sad the industry died with file sharing and streaming.

Thank You!

I really love this song. It is so true with the story of mine and my late husband’s meeting.

I Love Stevie Nicks. Yes I do

Amazing 👏

Holy Smokes. Thx a ton to the guy who posted this. Blown away

This is sooo good.

Beautiful version and back story.

Wow!! Fantastic version.

Stevie, I love you!

I love this version the best

We all just Love Stevie and the Doors!

Beautiful
