Hold Me

Oh, yeah, that noise. I know what you're talking about now.

AWWW man...I like this song live! It sounds like they're having so much fun with it. No, it doesn't sound THE SAME, but it still sounds cool...well to me anyway! I love how they all chime in with the "Well, why don't you..."

I actually think it kinda ROCKS whereas the album version is a little too low key.

I love this song. Actually, it was the first song I rembering hearing when I became somewhat familiar with FM that I really really liked. I would just listen to it over and over. But now, I've listened to it too much so it's kind of lost its "favorite" title with me. My favorite parts are the harmonies. Christine's and Lindsey's voices can be so similar that I get confused as to who is really singing. I actually kind of like it live....the "why don't cha" part is pretty cool, but I agree, it seemed hard transfer live.

And as someone else said, I think Lindsey really liked the song. In every single Mirage bootleg I have he introduces it as either "his favorite song of Christine's" or as "one hell of a song."

I totally agree. I like both the album and the live version. I also don't think they sound the same but the live one kicks more ass!

You can find the same thing on lots of FM stuff including Gypsy & Sara and it drives me nuts cuz I can't stand things that are out of tune. Hopefully I'm making sense...I'm typing w/ one hand right now.

Are you sure? I have been playing guitar for 8 years now. I'm pretty sure that guitar is in standard tuning. When I play it, the notes sound are in the same key. I'm not adjusting the tuning or anything. And from listening to the record, I don't think the guitar tracks were sped up...maybe a pitch change but thats it.

Where can you listen to the live version of Hold me?
"at your home silly."
No I meant, where could I download the song? Any info appreciated

I loved it live, too. Lots of muscle & none of that "pretty" singing (that Fleetwood Mac never reproduced onstage anyway, except for Peter Green, who could sing onstage as well as he could in the studio).

Hold Me is DEFINITELY not in standard tuning(which drives me nuts, too). You can't play along without retuning, which is a PITA, Lindsey! Leave that tape speed knob alone!

Hold Me is my FAVORITE FM song, period. I'm basically a Lindsey fanatic, but I fell in love with this song when it was released (I was 12!). I love Linds and Chris harmony! Good to know that it's one of his favs. I've never heard it live, though I can understand how it definitely wouldn't sound the same! But I'd probably like it too.

I'll make a clip of it. Hold plz.

EDIT - Woot.

That's what I thought you might be talking about after I watched the video looking for it. I think it sounds more like something Lindsey did in the studio...almost like the love groans in Big Love?
