Video with 6 notes

Fleetwood Mac- Sisters of the Moon (live from the Mirage tour)

This video/performance is simply perfect. There are enough tiny transcendent parts like Mick Fleetwood having a roadie pour beer into his mouth or Lindsey Buckingham’s open shirt and hat combo to make the video excellent before you even get to the amazing power of Stevie Nicks, possibly at her peak as a live performer here. Her wailing “you say no baby!” followed by what sounds like her speaking in tongues packs more punch into 30 seconds than most performers ever achieve, and she just twirls away like it’s nothing. As always, the other members of Fleetwood Mac get a bit outshined by Stevie, but the band jam at the end is nothing short of epic, with Lindsey especially powering through some insane playing. It’s been said many times, but the reason Fleetwood Mac worked is the competition between the performers to constantly out-do each other, which pushed all of them further and further in live performance.

And how can you not love Stevie’s crazy faces from 4:56-5:18, or her saying “You have no idea how many stuffed animals live at my house” as she leaves the stage?
