Fleetwood Mac

When Fleetwood Mac performed “Rhiannon” live in Oakland on May 20, 2009, the band was enjoying a fascinating revival of both their classic hits and their legendary dynamics. Just a couple of years prior, they'd released "Say You Will" in 2003, which marked a significant point as it was their first studio album without the iconic lineup of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks working together in the same way as before. This live performance truly captured the essence of Fleetwood Mac's enduring appeal. It showcased not just their ability to mesmerize crowds but also the strong emotional connection they maintained with their audience, decades after first hitting the charts. It’s also worth noting that “Rhiannon,” which originally appeared on their self-titled album in 1975, was a massive hit, still resonating deeply with fans. The 2009 show thus not only highlighted their legacy but also the evolving relationship between music and its listeners across generations—a real testament to their timeless artistry.
