Fleetwood Mac - Tango In The Night - 1987


This one-hour film was taken from the Shake The Cage tour. Lindsey Buckingham is freshly quit and two new guitarists are aboard. Link in comments.

I enjoyed Christine's singing especially.

*Here you go*

I love the version of “Isn’t It Midnight” from this. Stevie Nicks’ backing vocals (absent from the studio version) really add to this version.

I agree with you about Isn't It Midnight and think Stevie make Everywhere worse.


A Stevie-less version of Everywhere is here;

I’ll check it out, thanks!

I've been playing the album repeatedly and think it's the best album ever. And this was with Stevie Nicks in and out of rehab, and Lindsey Buckingham salvaging her vocals, and their fistfight, and Lindsey quitting the band.

Alan said...

Yeah, I think that's why Steve didn't contribute backing vocals to the studio version of "Isn't It Midnight", because she was in rehab. And I seem to remember a story about that fistfight, and her chasing Lindsey down the street saying her brothers were going to kill him. Ah, fun times...

Edfray said...

So Stevie was winning the fight and Lindsey ran. Excellent.

Have you checked out the deluxe edition of "Tango in the Night"? It's got some interesting alternate versions of some of the songs.

Edfray said...

I've got it but haven't listened to it all. I should. I plan to read Mick Fleetwood's autobiography, and expect to find some laughs.

There is a lesson here I think. Quit the band and you will be replaced by two - not just one - younger men who play guitar as well as yourself and are as cute. Game over.
