(and for a long time but I didn't know)

And she's still performing - was just inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last week! Fleetwood Mac was inducted in 1998, but she was also just inducted on her own.

2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Complete STEVIE NICKS Induction Speech

given that I noticed (as the OP indicates) that it was a performance that was something at least one level above anything I've ever seen before (but nobody asks me )

"Dreams" but hadn't seen this particular performance before. Now I don't feel so dumb

Anyway, I now know not to blow past Stevie Nicks on YouTube because I never heard of her before and its not a band I recognize and all that Thanks for the education

My brother and I had tickets to see them back in the day, but I had a summer job and he wouldn't wait for me to get out of work because he insisted leaving really early, so I missed out. I still feel disappointed about that.

Extra intensity begins at 3:10

And the keyboardist is Christie McVie, the other woman in Fleetwood Mac, she's terrific too! This is another Fleetwood Mac classic...

Over My Head

Fleetwood Mac videos I've seen, or almost all. And yes, "Over My Head" is another classic. Iconic. Flagship song. So many of them!!! There's like at least 10 top tier Fleetwood Mac songs that are hard to rank 1. 2. 3. ... they're all great, all classic, all iconic, and all that.

Maybe I should stick to star gazing with clear rankings according to brightness as seen from earth (not including our sun): #1 Sirius, #2 and #3 - ones I can't see this far north so who the heck cares , #4 Arcturus (Herdsman), #5 Vega (Lyre), #6 Capella (Charioteer), #7 Rigel (Orion), #8 Procyon (Little Dog) ...

She's also quite talented in her own right. I'm not a close follower of many bands, but Fleetwood Mac was always a particular favorite.

And there hasn't been much star gazing in my neck-of-the-woods today. I'm in New York and it snowed - again.

shut down everything. About destroyed the finances of our A.A. Intergroup which has a fundraiser in April, and very poorly attended and, it was really that bad -- the state advised no travel unless absolutely essential.

On stargazing -- I learned the constellations living in Nigeria where to the south of us was a half mile of beach, and then the ocean. So I could trace all the constellations.

Well, it aint that way in Minneapolis (or Golden Valley -- 1st suburb west of Minneapolis). For decades, I was so pissed off about the light pollution and all the naturally cloudy days and nights that I never bothered looking for stars and planets. Then last year when there was a lot of news about Mars being in its closest approach in whatever many years. A lot of discussion online here. So I decided to learn what stars and planets I could.

(get rid of that deep space junk with that checkbox -- nobody can see any of that stuff unless they live 50 miles from the nearest street lamp, so its just clutter)

Anyhow, it's a matter of learning a few of the brightest stars. Oh, there are a couple of constellations -- the Big Dipper and Orion -- those two one should be able to trace, and that's about it for those living in light-polluted cities and suburbs in northern states. The rest is learning where and identifying the 20 or so brightest stars.

Learning the asterisms (patterns of stars that don't fit in a constellation but span many constellations -- e.g. the summer triangle of Vega, Deneb and Altair. Or the winter asterism of a 6-sided quadralateral of Rigel (ORion's foot), Procyon, Sirius, Castor and Pollux of the Gemini Twins, and Aldebaran of the Bull and Capella. Very much diminished from what I saw in Nigeria. But still a delight to identify these few bright stars and the planets as they make their appearance.

I am visiting Kauai for the week. Saw this store just yesterday and thought of you.

Though if you ever listen to Steve Nick's story about "Rhiannon," she says she was a Welsh witch - so that Rhiannon must have been really far from home!

iconic Fleetwood Mac, maybe flagship Fleetwood Mac

really? This is the best of the 70's you could conger up?

I must strenuously protest the idea of Stevie Nicks being the first EVER female to be inducted TWICE in the R&R HOF.

It's just gaaaaah ... her solo career is not worthy of R&R HOF induction, it's just not. I have a seriously hard time with it. When Depeche Mode and The Smiths ... not to mention Iron Maiden & Slayer ... aren't in the R&R HoF? I just ... can't.

No offense, love ya Rhi

They made the 70's suck.
This is what defined the era for me:

on this '76 Tour. They were so awesome.

And needless to say like most of her early fans ....
I will ALWAYS love Stevie!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep On Thinking Free

Thank you for posting this great YouTube performance of my favorite song by Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. I will have to go to YouTube and save it to my favorites. I also love 💘Sisters of the Moon, so thank you for the post down thread, another one to save. And Me Lebowski, I will respectfully point out that taste in music (and other personal preferences) is what makes us individuals. Even though you are entitled to your opinion, why insist on trashing other people for their preferences? I LOVE Stevie Nicks and am exceedingly glad that she has gotten the recognition that she deserves by being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame on her own right, and not just as part of Fleetwood Mac. Go, Stevie.
