Well neither can a majority of our Ledgies and when you correct them on it they have a minor meltdown.:laugh:

I got banned from one of the Lindsey Facebook groups. A woman kept spelling it Lyndsey, and all I said was, "would it kill you to learn how to spell his name? It's "LINDSEY".

Banned. :lol::lol::lol:

I can't imagine being banned from a site for saying exactly what I wrote above. Ridiculous. Oh well. :laugh:

Has anyone ever been able to decipher the last verse that Stevie sings on this live version of Sisters of the Moon? I've heard her do it a few other times as well. The most I can pick out is "where have the white birds flown; have they flown so very far". I can't make out the last two lines.

Nope I could never figure this out either. Based on the new version, I came up with this unintelligble gem...

Where are the white birds flown, baby
Have they flown so very far
No they're just a please
They're in your heart

Where are those white birds flown
Have they flown so very far
No, no, that's just a sneeze

:D

'Where have the white birds flown?
Have they flown so very far?
No, they're just asleep...'

Can't make out the last line: 'Therein.... ???'

Mick is a lying sack of sh*t. A deluxe scumbag.

Homer, you never disappoint! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it. :laugh:

These tracks are very exciting. I couldn’t be happier. I am always drawn back quite nostalgically to the final month of the 1980 tour, and consider that month the band’s live pinnacle (not counting the blistering Green days, of course). The most heavily invested jamming I can ever remember the band doing — the most playful sort of musical circumnavigation and the brashest, snottiest attitude — was during that month on all of Lindsey Buckingham’s battering-ram songs: “What Makes You Think,” “World Turning,” “Go Your Own Way,” and above all “Not That Funny.”

Such a perfect description of those songs, and most of his stuff on Tusk. He was mad, mad, mad at Stevie. I'm stealing the "battering-ram" bit. :thumbsup:

Yes. It's from Cecelia.

Have they flown so very far?
No, they're just asleep
Therein, therein, herein"

From Steve Hoffman Music Forum

The sleeve for the LIVE album indicated that this song was recorded at a soundcheck in Santa Monica, CA, but there is some evidence indicating that it may be a studio track after all. It seems our Fleetwood Mac heroes were possibly telling a little lie about this track.

And the dates on the new Live package are confusion, too. Aside from Farmer’s Daughter and all the other nonsense dates for about eight of the live tracks, there is One More Night, which is dated 9.4.80 in the running order and 6.7.79 for the 7-inch single. We know that didn’t happen for two identical-sounding cuts.

All stupid, all careless, and all emblematic of how unorganized the Fleetwood Mac archivists have always been. Maybe the archivist clerk pulled a mislabeled Farmer’s Daughter originally in 1980, or maybe there actually was a live Farmer’s Daughter from Santa Monica in September 1980 and nobody was ever able to find the damn thing.

I know how to spell the fellow’s name, but now that I use voice dictation more, if it’s wrong it’s wrong. I am not even that particular about spelling “Michele” correctly.

The vision of them all sitting around crying about Farmer’s Daughter is a bit much to swallow.

Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Live’ now available as separate 3CD and 2LP sets

Having released the box set last month, Rhino have announced that they will reissue standalone 3CD and 2LP vinyl versions of the Fleetwood Mac Live reissue.

As a reminder, this live double album was originally released in 1980 and features music mostly recorded during the world tour for 1979’s Tusk. The strong setlist includes massive hits such as ‘Dreams’, ‘Go Your Own Way’, ‘Rhiannon’, and ‘Don’t Stop’.

The new standalone three-CD set is as the same as in the box, so two discs as per the original release – except remastered – and a bonus CD featuring over an hour of unreleased live material. The 14 bonus live tracks include seven songs from the Tusk tour (1979-80), four from the Rumours tour (1977) and three from the Mirage tour (1982).

The 2LP vinyl isn’t quite so exciting since it’s simply a remastered version of the original. There is no bonus seven-inch because that is exclusive to the box set. Nevertheless, you now don’t need to buy that same box if all you want is remastered vinyl.

Both three-CD and 2LP versions of Live will be released on 25 June 2021.

Fleetwood Mac Live: 3CD and 2LP Sets to be released separately. Available June 25, 2021
When Fleetwood Mac released their first live album in December 1980, it captured the legendary band’s most iconic lineup on stage demonstrating the full scope of their collective, creative powers. Recorded mostly during the world tour for Tusk, FleetwoodMac Live delivered a double-album’s worth of exhilarating performances that included massive hits like “Dreams” and “Go Your Own Way,” “Rhiannon,” and “Don’t Stop.”
Back in April, Rhino gave the band’s live debut a much-deserved encore with a new 3-CD/2-LP collection that features a remastered version of the original release plus more than an hour of unreleased live music recorded between 1977 and 1982. Following this, Rhino will make the newly remastered live album available as a double vinyl on 25th June 2021 (vinyl doesn't include the previously unreleased material)
Rhino will also make available a separate 3-CD version which includes remastered versions of the original 2-CD version, plus it will include a third disc of remastered previously unreleased tracks.

Here are two of the demos from the $100 "third disc"!:lol:
Sent to me from a former Ledgie who was banned from here.

One More Lonely Night. Christine's voice is so crystal clear. Stunning. The rightful STAR of FM.

Fireflies.

Nice! They are on Spotify now too, and I expect other platforms. I agree, that One More Night demo is PERFECTION. I've been ignoring that song for years (just wrote it off into the same tepid ballad category at Never Make Me Cry) but her vocals on this are beautiful. Just re-listened to the full band version with fresh ears and have a new appreciation for it.

That Fireflies demo is... something. Interesting to hear them working it out, I suppose. Never realized how important the guitar/vocal harmonies were on that song until they were taken away. Wish they had included the duet version with more Lindsey somewhere on this set (on that note, it would have been cool if that song had more parts for all three vocalists, with it being about the whole band and everything)

This is just Stevie on piano and Mick playing, right?

I like this more than the LIVE one.

Piano bouncing through the song.

Both women’s voices sound superb on their respective songs!

I also think both of these songs could’ve used one or two more melodic ideas/hooks to push them over the top. The demo versions make that even clearer than the released ones.

I still like them though.

and THAT gets to everything Lindsey has ever done for any of her songs. Her demos where it's just her playing piano are soooooo FLAT musically. He puts in lifts with guitar and/or vocal and breaks to make it more interesting. Sara is a superb example on Tusk. And if I've said it once I'll say it a thousand times, reallllllly listen to Storms...he adds so many subtle lifts and build ups to add momentum and multiple guitar layers and MULTIPLE keyboard layers from Christine. You THINK you're just listening to Stevie over his acoustic guitar, with some backing vocals sprinkled through the choruses...nope. There's a whole little orchestra of sounds and swells going on in there to give it momentum. Genius.

One More Night is beautiful in it's raw state. I've always thought it was one of her best vocals ever. However, the raw vocal on this is just simply beautiful. I love her trying to figure out the piano parts while she's singing it. What a talent Christine McVie is!!

Fireflies, I love the band version. Thank God Stevie has people help her flesh out music. this has never really been a favorite song of mine. But the full band is wonderful compared to the boring demo.
Yes, the vocal is incredible. I LOVE anytime we hear her play like this. Her piano playing just pulls me in. I am still bitter Smile at you never made Mirage. Yes its a great Stevie vocal and song. However, Chris's piano is insane on the song. Her playing on Mirage was incredible and I miss music like this.

I like Fireflies but musically its pretty basic and repetitive (yawn). I still would ax both these songs and Farmers Daughter to add The Chain and Sisters on the album. As good as the Live album is, 2 of their best live songs from this era did not make the album. WTF?

Smile at You demo is Chris playing piano?! I thought that was Stevie.
Wow. It's a tour de force!

Is Chris playing on this Fireflies demo?

There are so many demos and versions of the song so I don't know which you are referring. The track I am referring to is not really a demo but a finished track that did not make Mirage. I find it impossible to believe Stevie could be playing piano on that song since its so good.

I have no idea about the Fireflies demo

I was thinking of the one on 2016 Mirage Deluxe. I think that's called Angry Version in Stevie Nicks fandom.

After another listen, it does sound like her style of playing. It sounds good but can hear the amateur in it. She is credited on the song for playing piano?

Now we know the reason it never made the album :lol:

I know which version you mean. And yes, there is no way in hell that's Stevie on piano. hahahaha... Plus, you can tell by the style it's very distinctively Christine McVie.

Good demo. MUCH better than the boring released version. I might even listen to this a second time.

Boring demo. Flat and terrible vocal. I used to love Stevie's demos so much more than the recorded versions. I never want to hear this demo again. However the Fireflies demo with Lindsey singing on it is pretty good but I haven't listened to it in 2 years.

I agree. That was lackluster, to say the least!
