    On a Stevie note, were you to recommend five songs to someone seekng a crash-course in Nicksdom, which would you select? I have Edge of Seventeen, Leather & Lace, Stop Dragging My Heart Around, and from FMac the entire Rumours... but that seems like Stevie-lite to me, given the rabid following she inspires. Anyone's opinion would be fantastic.

    Hmm, it's hard to answer this one (at least for me). I have my favorites, but I'm not sure if they're the kind that would appeal to a casual fan. Here's some ones from Fleetwood Mac.
    Note: the videos from MySpace are linked, not embedded. You have to click on those to see the video.

    Hint: If these are slow to load, put your computer on mute, press play, let it go all the way through, then go back and turn the volume on. It should play smoothly then.

    My favorite rock song EVER.
    Gypsy

    The version of this from The Dance is what got me into Fleetwood Mac:
    Silver Springs

    Another magnificent song from The Dance:
    Landslide
    http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...videoid=110442



    This song has a very non-traditional structure, but she sings it with such emotion and the melody is beautiful.

    Stevie is known for the way she did this song live back in the day, especially the part from 4:45 onwards. This is from 1976. Prepare to be blown away!

    Perhaps one may think it is cheating to have 5 Mac songs and 5 solo songs. Maybe it is. So sue me.

    WARNING: Some of these videos are pretty cheesy and dated. Concentrate on the song please!

    One of my favorite solo songs, and a big hit for Stevie. This one ROCKS!
    Stand Back

    This was another big hit:
    Talk to Me
    http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoid=28815303


    The next three are personal favorites, but weren't hits. In fact they're all pretty obscure.


    I love the almost dance-hall feel of this, and the rockin' piano solo!
    Gold and Braid

    I love the emotion of this one, and the imagery.

    When I first saw this title, I was turned off. Was this a theme song to some fantasy movie? But when you listen to it, you realize it's about the battle inside you. All my friends who are hardcore Stevie fans have their own interpretations of what her imagery in this means to them, for what that battle is. For one of my friends, it was the battle to come to terms with his homosexuality, to come out to his family and friends and tell them he's gay. For another, it was struggling against suicidal thoughts. For me, she's singing about the battle for sanity in the midst of despair, uncertainty, and confusion.
    I certainly call that a dragon.

    Those who get Stevie's music - those who are touched by it, are moved by it, are connected emotionally to it - we're very passionate about her. When someone sings song after song that touches your soul, it's personal. This is especially true when it's not just the song, it's the power of the singer's voice to convey as many emotions as it provokes.

    You know, I have been having a hard time lately and many of her songs speak to me so much. She has a way of making you feel like she understands the kind of pain you're in, and somehow, that makes it more bearable.

    The people whom her music has helped, the people whom SHE has helped - like my friends above, like me - those are the "rabid following." And there are a lot of us.

    Those who don't get Stevie's music have no idea what the big deal is, and never will.

    Well, Soda, I did it! I just booked a second row seat through the Sydney Morning Herald's pre booking service. The price is A$495.

    Yes, it's pricey but I just got a fairly decent tax refund and this will pay for it. I thought 'oh well, what the hell'. I am not 'rabid' as you are but I am sure I will enjoy it and I somehow feel this is a way of 'giving you something back' for all you have done for me if that makes sense. The show is on December 7.

    I won't be able to do the spectacularly detailed reviews that you do but I promise to give both Lindsey and Stevie a big smile for you.

    That's great! They play hit after hit. Even a casual fan will enjoy it! And I appreciate the thought. You know, Lindsey might even smile back!

    Soda,

    Just went back and really listened to that 1976 live Rhiannon video. Man, Stevie was really pulling Lindsey and Mick into that song wasn't she! You seldom hear a Les Paul finger-picked like Buckingham was doing it in that song...he was tearing it's heart out! And what can you say about Stevie's vocals...and Christine was pristine on her keyboards and backing vocals too! It was all good!

    Oh, no joke, Mike. Lindsey's solo at 3:22, his backing at 6:00 - as you probably know, his unusual finger-picking of electric guitars (he has never used a pick) is pretty famous.

    Lindsey has said that watching Stevie on this song used to "inspire" him, ahem, and he took it out on that guitar! Some versions of this he goes so wild that at the end he shouts "YEAH!"

    Gotta love it.

    Sadly, the current way they do Rhiannon has no guitar solo. BOOOOOOOOOO.

    I can only imagine that if Lindsey gets "inspired" by the way Stevie tears that song to shreds, there must be a lot of little Les Pauls running around "out there" now!

    I've seen folks like Jimmy Vaughan finger pick a Fender, and Albert King finger pick a Gibson, but King worked off of a Gibson Flying VEE....but don't recall ever seeing an LP played that way by anyone! Buckingham's style is not strange to me. I mean, I've been watching him play that ax of his since the mid-seventies. Just that I've never seen him ripping into a Les Paul with it!
