First, the situation at the time of the May 23 taping: Lindsey and Stevie seem to rediscover each other.

Let us first start with ‘Dreams’ which happens to be the perfect tableau for Fleetwood Mac’s existence. Picture if you will, the moment the three-part vocals had to be recorded: in a silent, darkened, studio room stood Stevie, Christine and Lindsey huddled inches apart around the same microphone and pouring their heartaches into it, no doubt in tha...
Although ostensibly about a father and daughter, Nicks has often said in interviews that this song has overtones of her feelings toward Buckingham. Nicks had penned this track pre-Fleetwood Mac, a time when the couple had each other and very little else. Buckingham took a payday touring with Don Everly and prior to departing he dropped Nicks off to...
One lesser-known anthem that Nicks wrote about Buckingham is the touching lament of a fading dream that is ‘Silver Springs’. The Rumoursperiod proved to be so much of a purple patch for songs about love and hate that some tracks were forced off the album by logistics alone. Back in the day, a standard album was limited to around 45 minutes of audio...
If Buckingham was a bit more willing to excuse the French, this track might well have been called “f–k right off”. It is a full hammer-blow of heartfelt fury, and it has only one target, the target being the woman who lends fantastic backing vocals to the bullet with her name on it. “Packing up/Shacking up is all you want to do” is the line that sl...
It’s fair to say that this song is yelled by Buckingham more so than conventionally sung, which lends a particularly caustic edge to the line, “What makes you think I’m the one who will love you forever? Everything you do has been done and it won’t last forever.” The answer to Buckingham’s rhetorical title, however, is that quite clearly the fact t...
The lingering love between Buckingham and Nicks exists only in fiction; even the poor beleaguered fellows from Father’s for Justice who climb parliament in their pants have acquiesced to a state of settled bitterness. The tricky thing for Nicks was that she knew her and Buckingham had a creative spark that could take her songs to the next level, an...
‘Say Goodbye’ appeared on the 2003 record Say You Will, the final piece in the band’s discography to date. Usually, these car-crash cash-ins are a waste of everybody’s time, but with Fleetwood Mac, there’s simply too much talent and adeptness at handling tricky situations that triumph ensued, particularly with this Buckingham guitar masterpiece. It...
In the unfurling turmoil of their entwined lives, it seems befitting to end at the start with the 1973 Buckingham Nickstrack ‘Long Distance Winner’. Depicted on the cover is a couple of unfathomable hippy attraction like Cleopatra and Alexandra the Great had been reanimated, absconded to California and developed sea-spray and incense addictions. Bu...
