First off normal stuff.... Les Paul Epiphone...1 rythm git fiddle....2 leads....
Epiphone bass cause it was nearby....and jammed throught the ME-25.... Drums are Alesis Nitro...

Turn this way way up..... ..

I saw Fleetwood Mac at the first US festival in September 1982 near San Bernadino, California.  They closed the 3 day and night event on Sunday evening where about 250 thousand people had attended.  I was and am a big fan of all that is Fleetwood Mac.  I hadn't realized until that night how big a stage presence Lindsey Buckingham was.  That never really showed up on their albums.  This band are all superstar musicians...the very best at what they do and their collective energy was massive.  However this entire song hinges on the little bass lead that Mr. Mcvie plays and then Mr. Fleetwood adds too with the drums... then of course comes that great guitar and vocals...

this is a tribute to that greatness... and I am pinching myself that I can actually get to the vibe of this thing as a musician... and I plan to over time add to this...if you take the time to listen....thanks...and hope you enjoy it..
this is a remix   got rid of 1 lead guitar and copied the other a bit out of synch and then panned 2 of them left and right

Yeah man, nice. You really went for it on this one and if you are gonna go for it this is not a bad song to do it on. I watched a concert of them on YouTube a few months back and they are great. The great thing about them is they have so many angles to come at a song from with them all being able to contribute in a big way musically.

You knocked this outta the park. Great soloing and love that rhythm guitar sound, it literally knocks you over when it comes in. Great work on everything on here.

Love...love...love this progression...it is like a sound that is in your head forever and just follows you around....that is the power of Fleetwood Mac....wizards if you ask me...I have a real soft spot for the original line up with Peter Green and Danny Kirwan (look up a live version of "something inside me" gives me shivers all over).....superb stuff......I also love the Lindsey Buckingham era....hell of a guitarist....one of the best fingerstyle electric guys around for sure......deep groove here Steve....

Love the ending to this song. Rumours is a great album of course and I have a soft spot for Tusk as well. Very cool cover I like how you did your own spin on the guitar solo.

Probably the most iconic bass riff ever (thanks to F1....). Simple but so effective. And this takes it to 11!!!!!

Loved the mayhem, the wild guitars and the massive sound! Drums are great as well. Super cover Steve, well done all round.

I can say that at this moment I rediscover Fleetwood Mac which was really an excellent group, with beautiful personalities
nice work Stephen, I didn't know
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
