All language subtitles for Fleetwood Mac - A Musical History - Vol 1-en

I listen to Fleetwood Mac every day

because artists like that
unlock the doors of perception.

They connect you to a creative soul.

In terms of being able to do music
across a multiplicity of genres,

they're kind of incomparable.

For me, it's the marriage
of those tones,

both of the voices
but of the instruments.

00:01:30,320
is these songs that came out of
these different marriages.

Well, Fleetwood Mac were invented
by Peter Green,

who was a blues guitarist

and part of the British
blues guitar explosion of the time.

00:01:57,080
At one point they were selling
more than the Beatles

and the Rolling Stones combined,

and had a really big
hard-core blues following.

Albatross changed that slightly

in that they became
slightly more mainstream.

00:03:52,160
But it also wouldn't feel out
of place on kind of...

almost like a '90s chill-out album
as well.

To have established a blues fan base

and to then present them with this,

00:05:17,120
and there's a Fleetwood Mac song,

I think it's called Somebody's Going
to Get Their Head Kicked in Tonight.

That's certainly the kind of,
the chorus of the main line.

So, yeah, there's
lots of surprising gems

in the Fleetwood Mac back catalogue.

We're now going to do our
latest single, called Oh Well.

00:07:29,040
They don't care that you're there.

The way he's playing, the way his
fingers are, and they look so cool.

00:08:01,720
And with "Oh Well" as well,
they're already losing fans,

haemorrhaging hard-core blues fans.

They lost almost all
of their fan base in the UK

and then they lose
their main songwriter.

00:08:52,000
So Peter leaves
and you still have Mick and John,

Fleetwood and Mac,

who obviously want to continue
as a band.

And so you have this kind of
00:09:22,960
Which led to this craziest luck
ever with Mick Fleetwood going

into a studio in Los Angeles
to check out the studio,

and the producer, like, puts on
a reel to show him what he can do,

"This is what I last...
00:09:49,600
"Well, actually, I'm going out with
Stevie Nicks,"

who is the other partner in
the duo, "We come as a package.

"We don't go anywhere
without each other."

So, unbeknownst to Mick Fleetwood,

00:10:08,480
But actually, suddenly,
the magic happens.

00:11:32,840
And they're so different voices,
as well.

You know, Christine and Stevie's
voices are worlds apart.

But together...

..it's so special.

So much of the success of
the songwriting has come from

00:12:08,480

00:12:56,640

Rhiannon is written by Stevie Nicks,

and I really think
00:13:32,880
when you think of how many songs
there are in the world.

But what I like about this song,
Stevie Nicks always introduces it

as being about a Welsh witch.

This is a song about a Welsh witch.

She doesn't finish her phrases,
so she writes words that fit

the musical phrase
more than they fit the sense,

but it works
