What Did TJ Bryan Watch On YouTube Yesterday? Fleetwood Mac On The Midnight Special!
With the passing of Christine McVie, I’ve been diving in to some vintage live performances from Fleetwood Mac. Unfortunately I never got to see Fleetwood Mac live (I have seen Lindsey Buckingham solo – incredible), so thank goodness for all of the archived footage on YouTube.
The Midnight Special was a late night musical variety show that aired on NBC in the late ’70s and early ’80s. It was not dissimilar from the British live music program, The Old Grey Whistle Test. Fleetwood Mac performed on both shows, and seeing television performances that are live and not done to a backing track is a treat.
First up, check out this beautiful version of “Over My Head” that really highlights Christine McVie.

And here’s another incredible performance, “Rhiannon” as seen on The Old Grey Whistle Test.
