they may not have been good for one another, but God, they were 'perfect' together.

[sdh]

It's already been said here a few times, but worth saying once more. Lindsey Buckingham is a supreme guitar player.

Imagine getting tickets for Letterman thinking you're going to hear jokes and a couple of interviewes and you get treated to this.

My 36yo daughter died 6 weeks ago. I forgot today was her birthday. I was drawn to this video. I was just overcome with emotion with tears flowing, she was with me. I love you Becca.

[calwells]

That voice and that guitar - timeless combination. Just brilliant.

[atticusgalt]

Lindsey playing two parts, simultaneously and seemingly effortlessly. People know he's good, but I don't think most people get *how* good he is.

[patton]

When she put her hand on his back during the solo, you can hear Lindsey really dig into the strings more. Powerful love.

[jeffnnj]

I don't think many ppl realize what an incredible guitar player he is.

This song never gets old. It is perfect. The lyrics, the guitar, the voice. Brings tears to my eyes every time.

[billscott]

Lindsey loves her so much, and Stevie loves him, too.
They way she walked around behind him and put her hand on his shoulder and then she turned to the left and looked him straight in the eye for just a moment. Talk about non-verbal communication. That was just precious.


Sometimes, you just can't mix business with pleasure. Can you imagine the he'll they went through? I'm sure it was painful for both of them for a long time. Such gifted musical talent.

God Bless Them

Her voice is just amazing! There are so many covers online of this song and only Stevie Nicks can make you feel like she means it.

David Letterman presents Stevie Nicks. You ain’t dreaming’, life was this good.

[fasteddie]

Dave's shows always had the best music. So many amazing performances over the 33 years.

Beautiful moment starting at 2:28 when Stevie goes behind Lindsey and puts her hand on his shoulder during Lindsey's solo interlude

[jodyesperanza]

One of the greatest songwriters of our era, Stevie is a rare talent. And Lindsay can pick a song or two.

This is a timeless performance . Just as good as for a stadium full . She sings the song just the way she recorded it . She has her stage act polished years ago and brings a bit of a vamp act with her look . Lindsey Buckingham is one hell of a guitarist . He doesn't change one note . He recorded a perfect part and that's the way he performs it live . Some of their earlier concerts he gets to stretch out playing live , and he is a virtuoso player . He has lots of class and so does she . A class act together .

[Hammerman]

Love this song…..good to see the chemistry never really left Stevie and Lindsey…..

[dmc]

Also note how he expertly manages dynamics and phrasing, varying his volume with the mood of each passage and shaping his fills and ornamentations to enhance the vocal line.

What can I say about this performance? It brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me that my beautiful musical support system people are, also, only temporary. All the talent that we Boomers have been so graced with in our lives will still be here for as long as the following generations find them! This is one that I hope will be sustained for generations! Thank you, Stevie and Buckingham and all of Fleetwoodmac. May you be remembered forever!

[reallyseriously]

The moments she sings with no accompaniment, it takes real talent to do that. Just her voice ringing out to all of us. Thank you Stevie for a lifetime of beautiful music!
