The agency BMI usually handles securing performance or mechanical rights for their artists. Any public performance of a commercially published song or recording must be cleared by the copyright holder (media company). Bars, restaurants, churches, schools and any place that routinely plays recorded music or hosts live performances have to have licensing agreements covering playing recorded or live music. Ask any music or drama teacher about the fees their programs have to pay to use the media they use. YouTube is a second issue. Again, we'll talk about this later, but the issue of publishing on YouTube is a second issue that is generally resolved by YouTube having an agreement with the large recording companies that permits YouTube to publish videos with copyrighted songs.

Was it because the performance was posted to YouTube? Why would RIAA be authorized to prevent a group from performing the song? Would any group anywhere in the world be required to receive permission prior to performing or video-taping a performance?

I love Fleetwood Mac. And I love this post of yours. For a while there, i was in a premature cringe mode because I was expecting a not so happy ending to the post, but I am glad that the "owners" of the music used by PS 22 Chorus received the performances warmly.
