You Make Loving Fun (Live Nashville 1977) - Fleetwood Mac
On this day in…1977:
Fleetwood Mac perform at the Minicipal Auditorium in Nashville. The show was a sell out, 11,000 people attended and Kenny Loggins opened.
In Your Dreams
Belle Flower piano demo
Stevie Nicks ~ Belle Flower (piano demo)
A beautiful piano demo from the Bella Donna sessions, with background vocals by Sharon.
Sun sets down, sunrise
Sing to me a lullaby
Sing to me of the daytime
I will sing you a story of moonlight
Dreams (Sweet Darlin') - Stevie Nicks
Stevie Nicks ~ Dreams (Live 1981)
“Dreams” from one of the shows from her Bella Donna-tour, unfortunately I don’t know the exact date. This is a nice live version and in great quality, she uses the word “darling” a few times in this one.
Take Advantage of Me - Fritz
Fritz ~Take Advantage Of Me
Groovy Fritz song with great vocals from (a very young) Stevie.
Forsaken Love - Stevie Nicks from unreleased demos
Stevie Nicks ~ Forsaken Love (unreleased demo with Sharon)
This song is sometimes referred to as Mistaken Love or Frustrated Love but it was copyrighted in 1978 as Forsaken Love and apparently it was part of Stevie’s unfinished Rhiannon film project. There are several demos of this song but this one with Sharon is one of my absolute favourites, I love the layerd vocals.
The acapella version of Walter Egan’s hit “Magnet and Steel” with background vocals by Stevie and Lindsey, this is really cool! Stevie was the inspiration behind this song.

Fleetwood Mac ~ Angel (Live in Mobile, 1980)
Great live version from the last month of the Tusk tour.
Stevie Nicks ~ Mirror, Mirror (Rock A Little demo)
This is the one that’s commonly referred to as “Mirror, Mirror #3”, the one with the lyrics “Well ask your mirror, I really wanted you….”. This is a great song and would’ve kicked ass on the Rock A Little album but instead was used as a Street Angel b-side.
And as all this comes to an end
So go the lilies of the valley
From this hour on
Brilliant is your danger
Stevie Nicks ~ Rich Old Lady (piano demo)
This is a rough piano demo but very pretty, recorded somewhere in the late 70s. The ending is very cute!
I guess you’ve got a mystical love
That glows in the nighttime
No colored lights dancing in her eyes
At midnight, midnight
Fleetwood Mac ~ If You Were My Love (Mirage demo)
This great song was demoed for Bella Donna, Mirage and Street Angel but for some strange reason it never made it onto any album. According to an interview from ‘81 Stevie wrote this song about Tom Petty,
As the moon rolls over the mountain
And you are lost in your dreaming
Where is the wild, white rose?
