Has everyone seen the UNCUT SN behind the music segments are up on youtube?

It's really good. The extra interview time clarifies some things, or explains them better. There is also more music played throughout, which I found much more enjoyable.
I've been getting really emotional lately about Stevie/Mac. I keep bursting into tears. I think it's from...realizing that nothing will ever sound that great again. No one will ever do that. At first I thought I was imagining it, or it was pms or something. But it's not, it's discovering a new beautiful sound each time I listen, even though I've been listening pretty exclusively for at least the past 12 years, plus unwittingly falling in love when I was little.

The past few days it's been the harmonies on Never Forget and Honey Hi that have been really getting to me. I can't believe how they sound together. Each voice distinctive, but also blending perfectly.
But it could be anything. Almost any time I listen to Stevie's voice, especially from the early to mid years, or when she does harmonies with herself - I can't believe that there will never be anything like that again, including Stevie herself. It's gone. And at the same time as I am sad, it's too much beauty, it fills me with uncontainable joy.

I dunno, maybe all that sounds dumb. Maybe I'm "pre-mourning" and also mourning that I wasn't there when it happened; I couldn't have more of it. I want more, I want more forever. I want something exactly like "that" always being newly created. I never want to be without "that". I want a new exact same band renewed for eternity. If there's an afterlife, I want them to be the constant soundtrack there, too. And I want to touch stevie's hand once during the edge walk!!

It's really been affecting me, I really have been crying, either from being sad or from being so joyful. And otherwise I'm pretty happy and regular right now, things are going fine. It's starting to freak me out a little. I'm not usually quite this mushy.

Anyway, the uncut Stevie BTM is pretty cool.
A couple segments are missing - Part 3 most notably, when they are "discovered". That's one of my favorite parts 'cause it has the live Rhiannon clip, and the snippet of Say You Love Me, and everyone is all happy and beautiful and getting famous and being stars and touring and sounding great together and coming up with kick ass rad songs.

I just got through watching them. Someone posted it over at sevenwonders...
It was really great...HATED the guys voice though!

Now if SOMEONE will just upload the Fleetwood Mac behind the music that I have never seen..."(

Never Forget and Honey Hi

...sigh...

[Janis_no1]

Hey Amber: i haven't read your entire post, but i did see the bit about honey hi, i love that song too. I get emotional sometimes too, coz i feel as though i missed so much... Im 24 and being in Australia means im limited even more to what is left.... of course thats about to change for a few nights!

I love honey high... i cant remember never forget... you see i never look at the actual titles of songs or the albums much, they just go in the car and in the cd player at home yet i have little idea the actual song titles....

Im about to watch youtube, i cannot believe how much i have seen on youtube, it took me 3 years to get to see that much, and then youtube comes along and there is SO MUCH STUFF, bless Priestofnothing for sharing so much with us!

[Janis_no1]

oh yes i've seen this one!! I love her hair curly too! I was surprised she talked about being fat

[BombaySapphire3]

I was just thinking today hours before I read your thread, how perfect the chemistry of Buckingham /Nicks era Fleetwood Mac was on those first 3 albums.The instantly apparrent alchemy of The White Album ,that chemistry taken to it's perfect zenith on Rumours and the brilliant splintering of that evavescent chemistry on Tusk.For a few years this band really was something and that something is unrepeatable by them or anyone else.The chemistry was never the same IMO after Tusk.There have been flashes of what once was since but certainly not sustainable over an entire album.Even as it was all unfolding there was always the constant threat of the band breaking up and never making another album ,so I guess we're lucky we got the later albums with the occasional reminders of how great the band had been for those few glorious years when at least on vinyl everything seemed so right.

[Angelick Witch]

I totally agree. With how amazing they were, and how it's slipping away, and it'll never be the same. I am _so_ sad I missed it all. I mean, I was only _born_ in 1989! And I only found out about them a year and a half ago. I'm so scared I'll never get to see them live. At least we have those albums. And those videos and everything.

... And if Fleetwood Mac aren't playing when I get to heaven, I want my money back!

[gldstwmn]

There are some really beautiful photographs in there that I haven't seen before.

[vermicious knid]

I would go straight to part six just to see the 1981 video of her explaining how Jimmy Iovine "layed down the law". She is as beautiful as she has ever been in that video. Now that's the uncut interview that I want.

[danax6]

Amber, it's posts like that I don't need when I am already feeling terribly nostalgic.

Btw, as I already mentioned on another board, the part where Keith talks about Stevie cleaning is funny. "Yeah, Stevie, you have to clean under things also." I can so picture all of that.

Oh Amber- I know exactly how you feel. To an "outsider" (heh), that may sound over-emotional, but *I* get exactly where you're coming from. And for the record, you always have such a great way of expressing your love of Stevie.

I was there- I am 37, so was a teenager and totally into Stevie during the WIld Heart and then die hard concert goer for RAL. So I can relate to the "pre-mourning" thing, which I think I've been doing for several years now. I love Stevie. I adore her. As stated in other threads, I would listen to her sing anything and be fine with it. But there is always this little part of me that is sad because that Stevie that was, never will be again, and reality says that she can't go on forever. No matter how good she sounds, how beautiful she looks, there will come a day in OUR lifetimes, where she's not doing anything anymore and that does make me sad, too.

Thank GOD I did this past Gold Dust Tour. She always seemed to bypass me, no matter how desperately or pathetically I thrusted my hand in her face (maybe that was the problem? LOL) It's like she had a Janet radar, but the kind that made her drift right past me without even looking!

I will watch this tonight. I wasn't sure if it was worth watching, but I definitely will now.

Amber- you are so cool. Please continue to write posts like this.

[JazmenFlowers]

I've been putting off watching it until I have the time to sit down and enjoy it.

By the way, Jannie and amber - I love your posts too and agree wholeheartedly. I consider myself so lucky to have been able to shake Stevie's hand during the Say You Will tour - if you can imagine my reaction when she goes to walk off stage at the end of the show and I'm there in tears screaming her name, she looks back and goes "oh" and comes directly to me, shakes my hand and exits. And to have all of this on dvd (although you can't actually see me) makes me so happy. I watch it over and over just to see her stop and go "oh" and make her way back to me. I'll never forget it. That was such a magical night.

I know exactly what you mean. I went through this - majorly - in 1987 when I really seriously discovered FM and SN. I had known (unbeknownst to me until I re-discovered them) Say You Love Me and Dreams and Rhiannon somewhere out in the back of my childhood mind... but when I fell in love with Tango, and went to see them in concert and then started to buy all the albums and all Stevie's albums, I mourned big time! I was 17 in 1987, so I didn't really have any conscious memories of them all in the 70s. Even in the early 80s... I loved Leather and Lace and Stop Draggin My Heart, but I was 11 - not exactly buying albums and going to concerts yet. All I wanted was to go back in time and experience Fleetwood Mac and then Stevie in real time. It was really emotional for me, too, so I know exactly what you're going through. And it's still something I think about today, looking at where music has gone in recent years. It's depressing - but at least we will always have the words and the music and the performances. And thankfully, because of their longevity, we've all made our own memories of them, too. I can tell you, I have shaken Stevie's hand, more than once, and had a "connection" moment with her, too - and I can tell you, I did actually think, I can almost die happy now. But I still have to have that conversation with her...

[bikerchic]

Wow! Those are awesome! Thanks for drawing our attention to those Amber. I have never seen Stevie's BTM before. A special thanks to priestofnothing for putting all this great stuff on youtube. You should change your name to priestofeverything!

I love the part, I think in part 3, where Mick says "Her Rhiannon in those days was like an exorcism", f**k, I laughed at that part

I totally agree with what your saying Amber. Stevie said she wanted to be just like Janis Joplin and have her audience in the palm of her hand......well she got that! I get chills or start to cry if Stevie hits a certain note in a song or when I watch the emotion she puts in a particular performance.

[JeannieKartis]

very cool, thanks for posting...
