see to me her voice sounded amazing on that early version of Chain or Dreams. on this one her voice sounded almost as nasal as on her SYW songs.

wow, I thought it sounded sooo much better than her IYD stuff, which Dave clearly used some digital technology on.

so this song was actually recorded? Cool!! I must have missed that memo! Can't wait to hear it.

CADreaming · #34 02-01-2013, 10:13 AM

Yes, think release on album is Mar. 12.

I saw Sound City last night and was truly surprised how much this song kicks ass. Stevie sounded really, really amazing. I cant wait to hear it in its entirety.

As far as her sounding "nasally", I suppose she does now compared to her younger years, but I guess I'm used to it? Regardless, I think she sounds great. At least she doesn't just yell all her songs now like Lindsey seems to do.

yeah, i'm sure we are all biased more or less towards whoever our favorite is.

although must say i was really disappointed with the song and her singing and completely shocked when Grohl then commented how great she sang it?!

of course everything he recorded for that real to reel was "amazing" and "f'in great" to him -man's gotta self-advertise i guess

speaking of not hearing how bad stuff sounds, i was also shocked that Lindsey let out that GYOW demo - man, does he sound flat there! if i were him i'd never let that out... he must really not care much what gets out these days since he said they all had to listen to and ok those releases.

re Lindsey shouting - again i was really really surprised starting from april 2011 in Saban on how great he has been singing and sounding. but of course you wouldn't know that if you don't follow what he does solo, or didn't hear his latest One Man Show live release.

I don't follow his solo career. Maybe he'll sound great in the upcoming shows. But it's all a matter of opinion of course anyway.

As far as Stevie goes, I guess we'll just agree to disagree, which is fine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the heads up!

I totally dig the music... it sounds like the Stevie of 30+ years ago before she got all addicted on sonic clutter. I'll have to hear the studio version before I can make a judgement call on her vocals, though.

It's such a shame this song will forever be buried in this obscure documentary soundtrack... it would have made such an awesome foundation for a solo album, or a very passionate Mac song!

Wow, this sounds like classic Fleetwood Mac. They did an amazing job with the arrangement.

I tried to make out the lyrics but there's part of the chorus that I just can't seem to grasp:

We don't talk much about it
It goes back so many years
All the times we almost didn't make it
We stayed clear

Dancing with the devil
Call it respect, call it fear
But we never allowed the devil
To come to the party

We were careful in our way
Walked through the darkness
We made a pact not to dance with the devil
Even when the devil seemed to have a heart

He said we'd never be sorry for what we'd done

But we never allowed the devil to come to the party

You can't fix this, you lost a friend
Hearts breaking right and left
_________________
And the devil pours another glass

It's so easy

The devil pours a glass of champagne
ASks someone new to dance
It's so easy to ruin peoples lives
He twirls around and starts to laugh

Tear up the invitation
Hear the bells ring on the hour
He twirls around and he laughs

You said we'd never be sorry for what we'd done
But we never allowed the devil to come to the party

You can't fix this, you lost a friend
Hearts breaking right and left
_________
And the devil pours another glass

No we never allowed the devil to come party
We said that we would never be sorry
For what we'd done

Never come to the party
If you think you won't come home

Never dance with the devil
He will burn you down
Never dance with the devil
He will burn you down
Never dance with the devil
He will burn you down

You can't fix this
You can't fix this

now see, I totally hear the nasally-ness on this, but it really didn't sound like this in the theater when the documentary showed the in-studio recording session.

I'm curious to hear the album when it comes out.

i don't know. my understanding is this documentary has already been picked up for distribution after just one festival showing (unlike IYD doc), granted that showing was at Sundance. do you really think SN solo project would get more exposure? i actually thought it was great advertising for all of them - BN, FM, and SN that their stories are such a big part of the movie.

i do agree with you that i'd prefer she gave that song to FM and add it to the 8 they already have to finish that album they've been working on and by all accounts she's been holding back.

but for her personally and her career, i think having it as a part of this sountrack was much better move. i'd probably do the same if i were her. i guess we'll have better idea one way or another soon, once the soundtrack is officially released.

CADreaming · #44 02-01-2013, 01:41 PM

^ I see what you are saying Elle, but I actually think she does intentionally do other projects to coordinate and promote with FM. By staying out there busy like she likes to do she keeps the FM "brand" in the front of people's minds. Smart. It helps her - but it helps them.

Foo Fighters, Stevie Nicks, Slipknot and Nirvana members play Sound City gig - watch

The gig follows the LA premiere of Dave Grohl's Sound City documentary
[excerpt below]

Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks was the final guest musician, performing 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around', with Grohl filling in Tom Petty's role. She sang new song 'You Can't Fix This', from the soundtrack, which she told the crowd was about her late 18-year-old godson, who last year died of an overdose at a frat party. "In our day, we made a pact not to dance with the devil," she explained before the track.

Nicks also sang Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams' and 'Landslide'. The evening came to a close with a near-10 minute version of 'Rumours' track 'Gold Dust Woman' - watch footage of it below.
