Why Midnight Special 1976
Ok so I just saw this performance today and I have to say I was completely blown away!!! I had never heard this song before and Christine just sounded incredible on the entire thing! Her emotion and the way she hit every note spot on was just amazing! Of course when Lindsey then segued into his guitar solo it was incredible...he needs to do an acoustic guitar album. And then when the Lindsey and Stevie came in to sing harmony at the end...wow!! The three of their voices stood out more on that performance than any other live one I've ever seen!! Just the way they blended together was phenomenal. Their vocal was just the main focus at the end and it was about as perfect as three part harmonies can sound. Also not to bring up the (sometimes too) much talked about "soap opera" of the band but this song must have been somewhat emotional for all of them to sing/play considering this was performed in 1976 when all the drama was basically hitting the fan...I can only imagine the sentiment going on during the performance...very moving. If you haven't seen it yet here's the link:

I absolutely LOVED Midnight Special back in the day! Thanks for sharing that link, it is very moving! My absolute favorite FM Midnight Special performance is Rhiannon!:

"Why" is one of my favorite Christine-Mac songs. I especially love this performance with the triple-split screen.
And of course, Stevie's shaggy hairstyle. |

I know what you really were trying to say was just "outta sight, man!" |

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! Viv....thanks for catching that! What was I thinking? *shakes head* I was trying to put 2 sayings together from that time and had a, "brain burp!" Not just a little one, but a big one!

I remember early in my Fleetwood Mac fandom, while I was still discovering the eras of the band before Stevie and Lindsey, I saw the in-studio live sessions with the 1974 with Heroes Are Hard to Find band, with Bob Welch, as well as a couple of support players, which included another keyboard player. I was sort of confused but fascinated!

I have always loved that version of WHY... Lindsey's guitar is great... the harmonies at the end. Beautimus!

If you're referring to the Don Kirshner's Rock Concert TV show appearance, that wasn't "in-studio" that was live in a theatre (granted, a small capacity theatre, probably 2,000 or less capacity), not a studio soundstage as was MIdnight Special. I know, I was in the audience. Plus, the only "support player" during that performance was Doug Graves, who played organ & synthesiser, while Christine focused on acoustic & electric pianos only.

Perhaps you have written about this in another thread...but what was the circumstance in which you were in attendance (are you spotted in the film!)? What was the atmosphere/mood like, regarding the band and response of the audience? Did they do retakes? Was the entire show included in the film? Wish it would get a DVD release!
