I definitely recognize Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide", and felt as I'm returning from a pretty harsh Covid recovery that this is the analysis I wanted to first feature. The emotion, the execution, the pain. I've never seen a live version of Stevie Nicks performing it, so I'm excited to dive right in!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Fleetwood Mac performing "Landslide" Live for the first time.

    Silver Springs was my wife's favorite song from Stevie, she is no longer with us. If you get a chance listen to it. I tear up every time I ever hear it. Love you forever Haley.
  • @OpusXtr
    Someone commented recently that some singers sing songs about breaking up, Stevie wrote one that is a legend and made her ex play guitar on it. That’s gangsta. Lindsey Buckingham is one of the best finger style guitarists out there. He also knows how to wrap the music around Stevie’s voice.
  • @drakepeppers4137
    As bored, lonely old man who loves music I watch alot of reactions. You have become my favorite. Fascinating. Great job Kid!
  • @officehaifa
    We've been refugees for the past four months, since the war struck here. My wife, three kids and myself, away from home, totally displaced. We're struggling to keep things as normal as possible, for the sake of the children and ourselves, but this is probably the mother of all landlslides for us. Hearing you talking about this song just brought down all of my inner walls, the dam have been breached. Thank you so much for this and for all of your incredible videos, you do the lord's work. I pray that we'll all have better, normal times, and my god , how much I miss home...

    This song is about the changes and challenges of life, which Stevie Nicks wrote "Landslide" in 1974 in Aspen's snow country, while her then-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham was on tour with Don Everly. Stevie Nicks has said in interviews that the song was about her romance with Lindsey Buckingham and their career struggles, as well as her relationship with her business-executive father. Her months in the mountains inspired the lines with the song's title, "And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills/‘Til the landslide brought me down.", which one verse contains questions that most of us ask ourselves at one time or another: Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? It's an emotional lyric and while it may seem simple, the introspection of those words resonated with millions of record buyers.

    I remember my wife singing this to our kids just before bedtime. I can't tell how full my heart was the first time that I heard my daughter sing this to her daughters... ❤
  • @AmberNicoleB1004
    I'm 37 years old and this song has made me cry ever since I was a child, way before I could even comprehend the lyrics. I always been aware of Fleetwood Mac and my Daddy always loved Stevie Nicks. It wasn't until he passed that I had the very distinct pleasure of rediscovering them and falling in love with Stevie Nicks. "Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?" has really resonated with me since then. I have tickets to see her in SC in 9 days. I know he'd be so happy for me. Thank you so much for this! I hope to hear more Fleetwood Mac or solo Stevie on the channel in the future. The Midnight Special live version of Rhiannon is the closest thing to magic I've ever experienced.
  • @Shundave
    I’m 62, and Landslide is my all time favorite song. It has been since I was a teenager. In recent years, it has become more meaningful to me as my dear wife is suffering with Alzheimer’s, so we’re going through the seasons of our life, and many changes, and dealing with the one I’ve built my life around slipping away — the ultimate landslide. Thank you for the great analysis. I thought I knew everything about this masterpiece, but I learned more about it from you. You’re the best Elizabeth.
  • @gregsteele806
    Awww, they cut out the part where the two of them completely break down after the song. They hadn't sung this song live together in over a decade at this point. I can't even imagine the emotions involved, but the little "Thank you Lindsey. Thank you Stevie." gets me every time.
  • @ericelander9936
    My wife of nearly forty years was the youngest of five children and she was extremely close to her daddy. He passed nearly thirty years ago. She loved this song and especially this version. The "This is for you daddy" part got her every time. I lost her six weeks ago today and this reaction is tearing me apart. Miss you so much Baby. Love you always.
  • Also, Lindsay is an extraordinary guitar player. Quirky and unique, like Stevie. This performance definitely shows two old separated lovers re-connecting, and we are lucky to be allowed into that space. Magic.
  • @NorthernKitty
    I had the privilege of seeing Fleetwood Mac in concert in Auburn Hills, Michigan during "The Dance" tour. The way the stage was set up, the audience nearly fully surrounded them. Our tickets were behind the stage, which at first I thought would mean we had the worst angle to watch them perform. Throughout most of the concert, their backs were to us. Instead, it allowed us to witness perhaps the most magical moment of the entire concert. During one of the interludes of the song "Landslide", Stevie turned her back to main audience and was facing us. She brought her hand up to her eyes to dry her tears. We were graced to be able to witness this genuine emotional gesture that the rest of the audience missed. I immediately choked up and the rest of the song felt like a good cry together with Stevie.
  • @Hydrangea1971
    Stevie Nicks is in a league of her own. I adore her, het voice, her songs. I've had the privilege of being at a concert of Fleetwood Mac and it was truly magical!
  • @Greygoateebloke
    I love the dynamic between Stevie & Lindsay, although it comes from a place of pain. The live version of "The Chain" from around this era is possibly the most passionate exchange and display I've seen on stage. Love it!!
  • @sodejablues
    I truly needed this today. This is a performance for the ages in so many ways. Lindsey Buckingham never uses a pick. His intricate fingerpicking style adds so much to this version of the song. I cannot express how much comfort this channel has given me during the past few months.
  • I've been listening to Stevies beautiful voice for 50 years. I'll never get tired of it.
  • @justshay
    This one and Silver Springs are tear-jerkers for sure!
  • Still hope for the Charismatic Voice to watch Stevie Nicks as singer for Fleetwood Macs "Rhiannon" performance from the Midnight Special, where she really shows her rocker personae with all the power she had and you wonder where it comes from in that tiny person. I'm kinda sad not being able to watch this here tomorrow for the premiere though.
  • To me, unique voices are as attractive as unique faces. It is what makes a person memorable and precious. When you hear Stevie Nicks, you KNOW it is Stevie Nicks. It is just gorgeous.
  • @dyounggolfmaster
    My 22 year old son has always enjoyed playing this song in the car from time to time. Primarily because he knows it always gets to me, and he likes it. Maybe he had been thinking about his last semester and all of the unknowns and uncertainties that would follow. But, I could tell when he played it on a road trip during the holidays, he was playing it for himself and not me. He knows he can talk to me about anything, and does. But sometimes, nothing needs to be said. The music and the message is enough, and as a parent you just share and cherish the moment.
