It's a song that a studio can never do it justice, it's meant to be played live.
OT: Godspeed Christine McVie

This one hurt. Loved Fleetwood Mac and loved Christine's non drama input to the band's success.
She was always in the shadow of Stevie but was a reckoning force in the band.
One of my favorite and underrated tunes not only of Fleetwood Mac but in general is "Think About Me" - a beautiful tune of the band.
She will be greatly missed.
RIP !

It makes me sad that this group of very talented people had so much difficulty just getting along.
As you know, that happens a lot in life. Very talented people often have big egos and that makes it hard for them to work with others. To make it worse, often a big ego is necessary to have individual success, and that makes it all the harder to have group success. Sorry for the lecture!
yeah they still did it in the 2018/2019 tour with Neil Finn from Crowded House taking over for Lindsey, he was solid but seemed as if Stevie's vocals were prominent that Christine's and Mick still did his all out drum solo
considering they stayed together during breakups and affairs they did pretty good. They made it through that part. It was after starting with 87 and Tango in the Night. Lindsey veered the band off into a poppy quirky sound while Stevie was hitting Betty Ford, then he didnt even tour with them on the album, the comeback was great in 97 or 98 and they toured again for the Say You Will release which really was just a Stevie solo and Lindsey solo mashed together. Lindsey getting fired from the band probably has alot to do with some bad treatment of Stevie by Lindsey. I also think Lindsey is insanely jealous that Stevie that not only had a way more successful solo career but then had a massive career revival that has cemented her as an icon almost as big as the entire Fleetwood Mac collectively
A lesser known FM song of hers "Why" from the “Mystery To Me" album.
Good guitar.
Good guitar.
Always thought that it was cool that her maiden name is Christine Perfect.
And the best songwriter in the band. From an article I saw today.
The numbers don’t lie: McVie wrote or co-wrote half the songs featured on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group’s 1988 “Greatest Hits.”
By contrast, the much more celebrated Nicks had only five songs on that album.
Neither is Buckingham any real competition for McVie: He only had three songs on FM’s “Greatest Hits.”

McVie was joined Fleetwood Mac about 3 albums earlier than Buckingham/Nicks. Have to check the chronology of the 1988 list to see if than came into play.
If that's the case, it's a lousy list. A number of their early songs belong, starting with "All the Things You Do" back in '71.
While I agree somewhat with this, in rock music much of the egotism is fueled by the wrong things: fame, having sycophantic and less than knowledgeable “fans”, groupies constantly telling them how great they are, too much money at a young age, being referred to as a “genius” which is kind of laughable. The best rock musicians tend to be grounded about their craft and understand there are many more accomplished in other genres of music and those who came before them.
dont forget drugs and alcohol and that was a major factor in Fleetwood Mac with all its members
none of those hit the charts. You are looking for a boxed set with all their songs, their greatest hits was a 88 release that didnt even have Landslide or The Chain on it
If any list of Fleetwood Mac's "hits" didn't include Black Magic Woman the list is wrong.
I was a fan of hers, but I was a Fleetwood Mac fan starting back when Peter Green was in the band.
One of my favorite guitarists.
