Okay so I was always familiar with this version of the video:

But thanks to this actually interesting listicle I find out:

"Stand Back" was the first and last time Stevie Nicks wrote a video. She picked a Civil War scenario, using Gone With the Wind as her inspiration, but the house that was rented as a set (located in Beverly Hills, not rural Georgia) caught on fire, and Nicks was filmed riding a horse, which promptly galloped into a grove of trees with the singer on board. "I almost got killed," Nicks says. The video "was so bad, it was almost good." Still, she decided to shelve it and pay for a completely new video. Her manager, Nicks recalls, called her "an idiot."

That original version, with commentary:

It would have been fun to ride that horse naked with her sitting on my lap facing me.
