It would have been easy, even in 1997, to discount Fleetwood Mac's Phoenix-from-the-flame resurrection. Yes, it had been, at that point, almost 7 years since their last quasi-hit album, the Top 20 Buckingham-less BEHIND THE MASK, and a full decade since their last Top 10 (1987s TANGO IN THE NIGHT). Their last #1, MIRAGE, was in 1982. But the Mac's legend supersedes such frivolities. One should never underestimate the power of hundreds of millions of sold albums, or a Rock n Roll soap opera nonpareil. Fleetwood Mac might have been dinosaurs by the late 1990s, but they were far from extinct.
Of course, with all the turmoil that imploded the band, it was a pipe dream for any ardent Mac fan to ever hope that the classic line-up -- obviously it's most artistic, and not the mention, lucrative -- would ever reform. McVie retired in her English castle, Buckingham was busy with his own career, and Nicks had her own solo career with varying degrees of success, half of which was riddled with drug addiction and recovery.
This line-up's last public performance was at the request of the White House. Throughout his campaign for president, Bill Clinton used "Don't Stop" as his official theme song, and President-elect Clinton requested the Mac perform it at his 1993 inauguration. But reuniting wasn't even on their radar.
But, reunite they did, and the result was a wonderful live album called THE DANCE. The Grammy-nominated CD hit #1 and a refreshed, healthy, sober and exhilarating Fleetwood Mac embarked upon a comeback for the ages, mounting a monumentally successful tour and reigniting the world's passion for the classic assemblage.
In the following clips, Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood are interviewed in North Hollywood, California, during their rehearsals that begot the CD and live TV concert. The interview took place on April 18 1997.
Enjoy these rare, behind the scenes interviews and performances from Fleetwood Mac!
This is the Fleetwood Mac lineup. Thank God for The Dance, it's their best concert and work along with Rumors and Tango In The Night.
I’d argue that Tusk would be up there as well.
@@carolinewoodward1016Yep, those too. And I agree with the stuff before Nicks and Buckingham. So many gems. Sentimental Lady, Oh Well, Dust, Sometimes, Remember Me, Why, Spare Me A Little Of Your Love..
@@carolinewoodward1016Yeah those are great too.
@@carolinewoodward1016 That’s one I’ve recently discovered. Great for you to mention it 😌. It’s a pretty good song.
Listen to this a lot, and also SN Live in Chicago
the memories she left with this band is so timeless, christine was the heart of fleetwood mac..RIP christine
"Left in '87 cause I needed (glances at Stevie) a break"
The chemistry is still there and so is the baggage
11:41
Stevie: We didn’t talk.
Lindsey (whispers): We’re still not talking 😢
At about 11:40-11:50 when the interviewer asks "Did it take some talking?" (In reference to Lindsey's comment about "The chemistry is still there but the baggage is gone.")
And Stevie replies with a grin "We didn't talk...."
If you listen, Lindsey chuckles and whispers with a half grin, "We're still not talking." 😂😂😂
Riiiiggghhhttt....
And people want to say they faked the chemistry between them during The Dance? Lmao
The nudge and the kiss truly made my day! Sooooo adorable! Happy New Year Fleetwood Mac's fans!!!
Her presence is hugely missed. Sad to think that’s it now for Fleetwood Mac all the hopes and dreams so many have for them. May Christine be at peace and surrounded by love she never said an unkind word in any interviews 💫💛🌻
Christine you left a Awesome Beautiful Legacy Sweet Songbird ❤️❤️🙏🙏 Christine You Will Live on thru your peaceful beautiful muzik ! She had A Heavenly sweet beautiful Voice ! Love Her ❤️❤️🙏🙏 God bless All That Loved Christine too 💕💕🙏🙏 I Play Christines muzik everyday & Have listened to Christine & Fleetwood Mac for 49 years & will play it everyday As long As Im Alive I Am In My 70S Now ! 💐🌺🌼🏵️🌸🍀💛❤️💙💚💕💕🙏🙏💛❤️💙💚🇺🇸🇩🇪 Love Christine & Fleetwood Mac ! Again God bless All ! 💐🌺🌼🏵️🌸🍀💛❤️💙💚
Stevie and Lindsey seem EXTREMELY comfy during this interview :)
OMG. That slight smile that Stevie gives when Lindsey passes her at 2:57. The first smile we get from her!
Stevie has said that The Dance and all the hubbub surrounding it was hard for her, fresh out of rehab for klonopin, and Lindsey was like a life raft for her during all of this when she was like a deer in headlights. It’s actually what “For What It’s Worth” is about. (“What you did was you saved my life. I won’t forget it.”)♥️♥️
@@lindamcmanus3057 it's about Dallas Taylor
@@mariejohnson8523 I have since learned that, actually.
She's high on cocaine 😆😆
@@lindamcmanus3057 WOW, Stevie claims in an interview that song is about Tom Petty?!
I believe your version.
I also think they're both in love with with each other still.
I wish they would reunite and do a Buckingham Nicks album.
Now that would be full circle!!❤
Christine is more beautiful than ever! Love that Lady Di hair style
They're about to fulfill their much-anticipated comeback with a live TV concert and CD that will further cement them into the realm of living rock legends. I'd be on edge slightly.
The love Linds has for Nicks is tooooo cute and its not on stage
Naw.. he was googling over.. the tiny little brunette.
Mick Fleetwood is an absolute monster of a man
He looks so tall compared to Stevie lol
Christine had a really neat speaking voice
@@aubindemontfalcon5967 he was the band leader
when they like "there is no baggage" i feel like Stevie is like "why you always lyin...mmmhogod stop f***** lyin"
Oh I agree. She looks like a lost little girl. I mean all interviews I ever seen Stevie in, she didn't look sad like this.
Well I see chemistry still between Lindsey and Stevie
they are soulmates, it will always be there
Gorgeous Stevie 2:55 as always stealing the Show as the Camera loves this woman xxx
Of course I would go see them. My favorite. Love the group not just one person.🥰
I am from Brazil and I always love your songs
10:43. That was just adorable! The nudge, then the kiss! Precious. Why the hell are they not together?!?
Agree....
That’s toxic … literally mixed singles.
You don’t get to enjoy a person workout fully commiting to them.
@WatchYourAttitude It's hard to imagine that this was already 13 + years ago. This was such a surprising gift to Fleetwood Mac fans. The group had basically vanished by this point and then this wonderful reunion of the classic lineup of Fleetwood, McVie, McVie, Buckingham & Nicks. The Dance was epic and showed again their success was no fluke. Lindsey finally grew up and accepted FM for the supergroup it was and will always be by patching up his differences with the group and leading this gem.
Rivedere insieme la band storica (quella che preferisco) è stata una gioia. 👍🎶🇮🇹
I will always always love Fleetwood Mac my great wild teen days my Queen take me with you
LB all after SN here! Crazy how he is so over her... So cute!
That was a magical night.
cute how stevie actually smiles when lindsey kisses her:)
At 9:29 Lindsey whispers to Stevie saying "We've been through a lot"
Awwww 10:40 Lindsey is a kid hahahaha love him. And Stevie was playing along too!
I do find it interesting this discounts the effort the band put into its last album in 2003 - Say You Will. That album lacked Christine McVie but it had a few hits on it, and the album hit Gold in the USA which is the same as Behind the Mask (although one service gave that the Platinum listing). Say You Will (Nicks) and Peacekeeper (Buckingham) charted in the Top 40 as well. Considering it sold over 500,000 copies after the turn of the century it was regarded as a success (peaked at #3 in the USA in album weekly sales). The solo albums that Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham talk about in this interview never happened but instead a duet album with both of them called Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie which did well, charting in the top 20 in the USA in 2017.
I love the "Say you will" album. But the 2 singles didn't chart in the Billboard Top 40, hot 100. They charted in the top 20 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. "Peacekeeper" did make the Hot 100, charting at number 80. It's also FM's last appearance on the Hot 100, sans the recent return of "Dreams."
@@JohnSegerclucka I stand corrected, thank you.
We love this People.

Stevie looks like she should be sleeping. But Lindsey manages to get a couple of smiles out of her ;) these two are incorrigible!
10:40 I love Lindseys playfulness too darn cute 💞
Did you notice how he blushed after that? Awww
Thanks so much for posting this, there can't be a better behind the scenes subject than Fleetwood Mac! Lindsey clearly trying to re-connect with Stevie but she's having none of it! Although I get the impression things changed as the weeks progressed, listen to the lyrics from 'Thrown Down' off of Say You Will. Written almost definitely after Lindsey's 'baby news' became known.
Rumour has it that Stevie and Lindsey were seeing each other at this time.
@@utbabee I have heard a few things but Chris said they were fighting none stop. Safe to say things are worse than ever now!
@@Lovethemseventies Oh I'm sure. Seems like they have always fought. And I truly believe that Stevie is done with Lindsey. After all of the comments about SN from LB in the news lately, she will never reconnect. She certainly doesn't need the $$$$. I just saw Lindsey in concert last Saturday night. Wow. He still has it! His voice, though a bit lower, is superb. Best I've heard him in 30 years. I was shocked how good he sounded. He truly was the genius behind the band. Stevie may have been the face/voice of the band, but he was the catalyst. Too bad he didn't get the notoriety that she did. I think that's where a lot of his anger comes from. Just my .02.
I’m glad they kicked out Lindsey. 😂🤙🖕 bad assed Stevie, bad assed Babe 😎🌙💪
@@utbabee lol
Ohhh please Stevie and Lindsey! they're LOVELY!!
Say what you will....no band on the planet has a history as diverse as this one.
I Have The DVD, of “ The Dance “… I Love so much, I watch & listen Often. Xxxxx🕊🕊🌟🌈✌️😊🇦🇺
The press tour for the Dance tour started about 3 months after Stevie was out of rehab for the tranquilizer Kolonapin(sp)? Prescribed to her by a physiatrist. She said this was the first period in time since 1975 that she was drug free. She's also said this was the most vulnerable time in her life. On another note. I saw Fleetwood Mac perform. On with the show in Indianapolis, on Oct.21. Transcending show. I, like all the other 18,000. Fans that night didn't want the show to end.
+Cmash Stevie finished kolonapin rehab a few months before "Street Angel" was released in 1994, not 1997
Incorrect. Stevie finished rehabilitation in 1994, this was spring 1997.
Klonopin
Ok seriously! All I want to do is cut out the 10:43 part of the video and watch it all day long. i think I watched it about 5 times or more now. They are sooo cute!
I agree with marguitar1, I really miss Christine. She added another depth to this band. And yes, Lindseys' firting with Stevie was cute, although I wondered why she didn't even attempt to look his way.... smile at him or something.
Thank you whoever you are. never seen this footage of this great band before. they should tour with the Eagles once more
Wow they seemed so happy to be together again😂
Hi Neil Preston the greatest Rock n Roll photographer to ever live❤❤❤❤
Gee John, as always, looks thrilled with being there …lol
AWESOME!! (:
Wow, Stevie looks like she is not in a very good mood, lol
But when Lindsey kissed her on the back of the head it made it all better
She’ was still dealing with benzo as I recall (apologies if im wrong please feel free to correct me) but she def has a Klonopin’y face there
Maybe she wasn't. Sometimes people aren't always jolly (I'm sure you, dear reader, know this already!)
I don't what's "lol" about someone being unhappy but each to their own pleasure........
;-)
@@ENigma-um8zw What is a Klonopin's face like, please?
@@ENigma-um8zw she had been sober from klonopin since 1994
Am I crazy or is Christine's hair much shorter here than how it appeared in The Dance? Thanks for sharing, by the way!
her hair grew after the dance album was released she had a mullet
Painfully awkward at times lol but hey that's life still love them
11:40
Stevie: We didn't talk.
Lindsey: we're still not talking...(in to Stevie' ear)
...awkward...
Can they just kiss on stage already!
lol seriously how fucking awkward is that!
They fuck though?
Lauren White i don’t understand?
Also I love Christine's expressions as Lindsey talks about growing up, from about 11:14 to 11:30...looks pretty annoyed
Stevie looked thrilled when she kind of stumbled into view.................
At 9:27 or so he leans in and sniffs her! Then the nudge and kiss after continually looking at and leaning in to her... the body language says it all. lol. So cute.
Stevie's Sad & Not Feeling Good...She Has Gone Through So Much In Her Life..
Would you go to see “Fleetwood Mac” without Lindsay Buckingham?. No, I’m sorry everyone!!.
Absolutely not!
No way. That would be like going to a Men Without Hats concert and them not performing Safety Dance!
If I had a free ticket and they were at a nearby venue, yes.
No need to be sorry.
:-)
I wish they added Cheryl Crow she's a good songwriter good performer and what's wrong with doing Cheryl Crow songs on a Fleetwood Mac tour
It is not our Fleetwood Mac ☹️😭
Wow, how tall is Mick Fleetwood? Stevie Nicks is mesmerising to look at.
Stevie Nicks. 5’1”
Christine McVie. 5’2”
John McVie. 5’9”
Lindsey Buckingham 5’10”
Mick Fleetwood 6’5”
Mick is 5' 10" the rest are midgets
@@thereseember2800 christine mcvie was 5'5"..RIP
I wish Christine was still in this band.
Creo que fue un reencuentro en muchos aspectos.
The British humour is so funny….
Missing you, forever Chris.❤see Stevie super ego showing. Though….i hate saying that.
As i love her.
John McVie looks like a mean MF'er.
Absolutely ...
If they don't still love each other ... then ..
I am a Marshian !!
Stevie and her Herman Monster shoes
Ha ha! She says she will always wear them because she's so short. About 5 feet
I still laugh at Buckingham throwing all that shade
I am a latinamerican Fleetwood Mac's fan and I would like to watch this videos with Spanish Subtitles. Thanks and I really like this band
Excuseme Fleetwood Mac but I don't know speak english..! Only spanish.. My name is Hector Martinez and leave in Mazatlan Sinaloa México... ! Todavia recuerdo aquella noche del 24 de diciembre.. No recuerdo si de 1977 o 1978.. Un amigo mio escuchaba su disco de Rumores.. Y yo dije... Wooooooooooow...! Que es esto..? Nunca en mi vida habia yo escuchado una musica mas hermosa que la de ustedes. En ese momento me enamore de FLEETWOOD MAC.. DIOS MIO..! Desde ese dia me atraparon.. con canciones como hand's second new.. Dreams.. never going back.. Don't Stop.. etc. etc. Despues siguieron monday morning.. Aunque ese fue un album anterior.. shugar dady.. Rhianon. Over my head.. Say you love me.. su album doble de Tusk. Mirage.. Fleetwood mac live.. Tango in the Night.. LOS AMO AMIGOS..! Yo no se si algun dia ustedes lean esto pero quiero decirles que despues de mi familia.. Ustedes son lo que mas amo en el mundo.. Quiero que sepan que si la musica es un arte.. Ustedes hacen de ese arte; Otro arte mas hermoso... Ustedes hacen esa musica.. La arreglan y wooooow..! No se que decir.. Solo siento.. percibo que esas voces de Stevie.. Lindsay.. And Christine, mezclados con el virtuosismo de mi buen jhon en el bajo y la recia personalidad y originalidad del señor Mick en la bateria.. Los grandes arreglos de Lindsay.. Y los coros.. Oh Dios mio..! Siento que estoy en el cielo cuando los escucho.. GRACIAS FLEETWOOD MAC..! Por regalarnos su arte.. Y deseo de todo corazon que siempre esten juntos y ya nunca se separen como sucedio cuando grabaron behind the mask. Time and say you will.. y live in Boston.. Solo me resta decirles que aca en Mexico.. Tienen un amigo que los ama... GRACIAS..
@slk117 I don't think they were annoyed...they were most likely bored shitless. :)
I can only imagine the sex, drugs and rock n' roll this band experienced back in the 70's and 80's. I miss Christine though!!!
I couldnt really hear the mumbling but as soon as I heard “not the 13 year old girl topless” I thought ‘they must be talking about blind faith’ 😂
Cut them some slack! They're probably tired and on top of it they have a camera on them constantly. Eventually you would start to feel self conscious!
Lyndsey and Stevie had been together since secondary school and had a REALLY messy breakup. In the VH1 Behind the Music episode they did about them they very rarely communicated outside the band until about the turn of the century.
Oooh Lindsey kisses Stevie at 10:43!! ♥
Okay LMAO @ Lindsey "still not talking" but he'll rub up against Stevie and nudge her and then kiss her....RME
my god they all look proper fed up!!!
10:43💜💜💜
Christines got great legs. she was voted "best legs" in britain back in the day and this clip really shows why.
Male legs. Puke!
I love FM. One of the best concerts if my life.
@realsavagelike I looks shorter but I've compared it and the difference is that here she wears her hair behind her ears. and on the dance she wears it over her ears. which makes it appear longer. but it's the same length.
Are they taking a photo against that dreary backdrop!?
A little too loud there Lindsey ...still not talking lolol
Hahaha "We're still worried about some nostril shots here." -Mick talking about the women worrying. And then Lindsey kissing Stevie's head ughhhh :)
???
@JZEmma I just saw that! I'm totally freaked now! So cute!!!!
10:40 heart melting. if only someone didn't get pregnant. sigh.
Stevie was pregnant in the 90s?
@@jamesnuttall_ ha ha. no, lindsey's girlfriend "accidentally" got pregnant.
@@Linda-it9dh I suspect she was already pregnant and Lindsay knew it -- he just wanted to have the last laugh on Stevie. However, I might be wrong...
@@reesemorgan2259 wow I hope he didn't know it as that would be incredibly malicious and cruel to all parties involved.
@@Linda-it9dh Well perhaps I'm twisted. I haven't heard it as a rumour or anything - I just thought it would be an opportunity for revenge, given how angry and obsessed he was supposed to be. Received wisdom etc. Lol, I suppose I bought into that soap opera...
at 5.00 is it me or does it look like lindsey is losing balance or has the shakes
Poor Stevie, she looks like she is walking to the gallows! I love this band
She was fresh out of rehab and she has said that being out and about after klonopin rehab and weight loss was terrifying, and Lindsey was very helpful to her.
She's high on crack
Man... I'm having some trouble watching this... look at their faces... Look at Stevie and John faces!!!
Stevie was nervous
Stevie nicks and lindsey buckingham got back to together for the dance tour but found they could not be like they were hell they lived together 5ys
Didn't anybody know they got together before the middle and then Lindsey got a phone call from Kristen ..I'm pregnant!!!
sometimes I think this is just a fan fiction but after I watched this, I don't know... Stevie is pissed, Lindsey is trying to please her, the kiss in her head at 10:40, the "still not talking" like he's messing with her, trying to get her to talk to him, I just don't know. there are things I think the fans will never know, or maybe we'll know just in, I don't know, 20 years lol
@ChierichiniMac no entiendo entonces si te dan ingles? pero no en el colegio?
xq en el colegio no les dan ingles? en el mio hasta usamos uniformes estupidos haha ;)
God they look miserable, even before the q&a section when they get asked the same questions for the 5,000th time
Is it just my imagination, or does Stevie turn around at 6:35 and say to Mick or Lindsey, "I'm gonna kick your fucking ass."?
Yes they were making fun of her shoes LOL
10:39 That is all.
I need a hotty like Lindsey - Please
11:45 "Still not talking" lol yikes
11:45 "we're still not talking"
"the baggage is not" BHAHAHAHA
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham went to high school together. Longevity begets a special friendship, ie playfulness.
They met in HS but didn’t go to the same school.
11:46 "we were talking"
Chris has great legs
Male
@@h-l-l QUIT IT
God Almighty.....21 years ago already....
I know. I thought the same thing.
Well you're probably right. But I'm talking about back in 1997. That's when this interview took place.
Mick: I like the cover that Blind Faith did.
Photographer: Not the one with the naked 13-year-old girl, right?
Seriously. Those drugs didn't help Blind Faith, when it came to choosing an album cover.
watched this many times...how did I not notice Chris's legs....they are so skinny
Saxaphone music
chookfeather She's a knockout
She was so skinny during this era! she’s always been very slim, but here, she’s especially skinny. I hope she was doing alright
She’s a HE
RIP christine mcvie
