Hold Me Lindsey Lead Vocal Mix

I apologize if this has been posted here before but I just came across this and hadn't heard it before. It's an awesome twist on an already great song.

I never heard this version of this great song before.I love it! Of course I like the official duet version better but this is really good.

I like it a lot. The vocals during the solo, and the guitar at the end took me by surprise.

It would have been interesting if they had included this version and Gypsy sung by Christine in the Mirage Deluxe. I remember Gypsy by Chris was shared here by some ledgie years ago, but I haven't found it in the web.

Its not a Fleetwood Mac mix. It does not exist. The youtube channel is very creative and creates its own mixes. Some great technology to be able to remove certain vocals and such. My favorite of this channel is the no guitar on Isnt It Midnight. Its all bass and its wonderful. Gate and Garden is 100 times better when all the backing vocals are stripped.
Some really cool stuff. But its all original to that channel.
Chris sung Gypsy during a Mirage tour practice session. It was not in the studio. It used to be all over the web. The only one still around is Christine singing Dreams on a Mirage rehearsal. Its still on youtube.

It was very cool. But let's be honest. Christine's voice saved that song. The original is much better.

Interesting, I didn't know that.

Does anybody know the YT link of the Mirage rehearsal Chris singing Dreams? I found this, but it says it's from a 1977 rehearsal.

Thanks, Macfan4!

I found some more cool audio from those rehearsals (they all seem to be from August 16 and August 19).

Gypsy (Chris Vocal)

Do You Wanna Dance

Sisters of the Moon

Wish You Were Here

Trouble

I also have some audio of the band screwing around with Edge of 17, but it’s hugely embarrassing.

Thanks for sharing. Chris's Gypsy was on the early days of the internet in the 1990s. The Edge of 17 with Lindsey used to be on youtube. I thought it was pretty cool.
Love they tried Wish You Were Here in rehearsals. We would have to wait 35 years to hear Chris sing it live. It was one of those moments you never thought in your life you would think would ever happen.

I can't get Trouble to play.

AND I WANT TO HEAR EO17!!!!

I repaired the Trouble link in the original post.

I warned you — here is Edge.

Well, you have to be a "pick guy" to play that song. It doesn't fit Lindsey's style at all.

Thank you.

Chris really nails Gypsy, as if she was singing along to a song she'd heard on the radio for years.

Lindsey's vocals on Sisters... wow.

Thank you David!

Amen, brother. And I’m one of the few who prefer her demo of it, where she’s singing alone—and singing “Hold me like a good man should.”

Ha!! I hate that lyric, but I do like her lead vocal.

I too hate that lyric.

You two are prudes. lol

Kidding!

I guess I love that lyric because it’s so her.
Honest, unpretentious, sexually suggestive and flirty, and what she was looking for in a man.

About 20 years ago, I remember first hearing Christine sing Gypsy, courtesy of someone on this forum. At the time, I thought it was hilarious: Christine singing Stevie?! Now I hear it and marvel at how well she sang and navigated a song she didn’t write or regularly rehearse. She’s entirely at ease. The only strangeness is hearing her utter those lyrics, which are nothing like the simple, direct love songs I usually associate with her.

Wish You Were Here sounds great.

Well, slip your hand inside my glove, and we'll talk about it.

Your jam it tastes the sweetest to me…

100% the same. I heard it long ago but now I appreciate it more for the reasons you mention. I mean, I could understand being able to "karaoke" another member's song pretty well that had already been toured ad nauseum, but this was a song she hadn't already listened to Stevie sing night after night after night. Find it hard to imagine Stevie managing the same with a new and more straightforward Chris song without getting it all mixed up, let alone the fact that Chris was also playing an instrument while singing. Perhaps they had to listen to the song over and over again as part of the MTV music video recording process?

That's because one of them is a very talented musician.

And the other one is Stevie.

That is certainly possible. I also think she and Lindsey gad to know the song inside and out while they arranged and recorded it. Their roles meant they needed to do more than just play instruments…

Certainly possible, too. I guess Mirage was recorded in a more team way than Tusk. And they all were in France, so they may have been together during the recording of all songs, including demos, early versions, etc.

Wow, you're right! I always thought it was bad. She covers it well for that rehearsal!!

Giving you freedom.

You ain't putting that thing in my mouth!

Oh, nothing ever changes dear. ohhhhhh you know it doesn't!

I have known this much longer than I've known you.

So slip your jam inside of my freedom.

Now here you say you want your freedom. WITH JAM? :lol:

Think about JAM.

I am what I am
I am what I am
I am what I am...

A Jamily Man.

She stares at the jam

The Jambslide brings you down...

Ok I laughed out loud. ;)

She jams at the jam...
there are so many things to jam at these days....

When I jam you again...will it be over

Freedom, well it's a jam that is fleeting. But, it's jamming next to you

Unfortunately, it's not a joke.
