The mid-70's saw Fleetwood Mac relocate their operations to the US. Singer Bob Welch left the group, with Lindsay Buckingham and then-honey Stevie Nicks joining. The end result was a run of success, despite romantic discord between Buckingham and Nicks, and John & Christine McVie, that lasted for years.
The band's self-titled 1975 album produced the #11 hit, "Rhiannon", written by Nicks, inspired by the tale of a Welsh witch, as Stevie explains in introducing the song on The Midnight Special. Pay attention to the lyrics. YouTube commentators noted the lyrics performed live on the show differed from the finished product on the record, long a radio standard.
