To hear segments of Mick Fleetwood's new radio interview in New Zealand.

Easy Mix's Mick Fleetwood Interview - What Really Happened Onstage In New Zealand 30 Years Ago...
We love Fleetwood Mac - what a band, what a legacy and yes, what a soap opera. I interviewed Stevie Nicks once and she said that New Zealand was the only country the band hadn't done an encore in because Lindsey got angry at Stevie for singing the wrong part in a song and threw his guitar at her before they all stormed off the stage. Lindsey told me he doesn't remember this happening at all and when we interviewed Mick he says he thought it was a lighting rig that had fallen down and he went on the radio the next day to apologise! - Tim. (radio interviewer)

The segments are very short, but Mick discusses about the incident that happened on stage 30 years ago in New Zealand, between Stevie and Lindsey. After Mick also wrote about the incident in his own book, now Mick says that he thought it was a lighting rig that had fallen down on the stage... Then Mick briefly says that there could be a movie about Fleetwood Mac... They all 3 (Mick, Stevie and Lindsey) have different stories about what happened in New Zealand 30 years ago, and now Lindsey claims he has forgot and does not remember what happened back then about the stage incident... Could you imagine all 3 of them in a room trying to remember stories, for a script for a movie... the arguments they would have over who remembers what, and who's story is correct??? I say they could get enough material out of that 'making a Mac' movie for another music album... "Rumours 2" ~... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Reminds me of this (from an Australian article in 2004 for the SYW tour):

Quote:

"Things are better now than they used to be," says Nicks. "In the old days we were angry with each other and didn't like each other. We had to go on stage and play. It was all about dirty looks and not having much fun. That's partly to do with why Lindsey left the band in '83."

"Eighty-seven," interjects Buckingham and, as if on cue, there follows a few minutes of intense discussion between them about just when the guitarist was in the band and when he wasn't.

"But honey, you really left in '83, you only came back to do [the album] Tango in the Night in 1987. You didn't tour."

"No, no, I was in the band until 1987," he insists, and suddenly it's as if only the two of them are in the room. "I was there for the whole thing. I produced the album and then I pulled out for the tour because it was just too crazy."

Nicks gives this a few seconds' thought.

"I thought you pretty much left. Oh, I can't even remember," she concedes.

Buckingham, however, is eager to make his point, recalling how the artistically adventurous Tusk, the relatively unsuccessful follow-up to Rumours, was a turning point in his relationship with the other members. He's still addressing this only to Nicks.

"It was harder for me because after Tusk there was this dictum that came down [from the other members] that we weren't going to move to the left too much anymore. It was hard for me to reconcile the process because that was interesting to me. In some ways I was treading water, but I was never not there. I was there for everything."

Nicks thinks again. "So where was I?"

Then, realising there's a third person in the room, they laugh and acknowledge the therapy session ambience.

I know Mick was telling people in Meet and Greet that Sara was about him and Stevie said that Sara told people that too, even though Stevies says Recor knew it (supposedly) was not about her.

I think they all just wanted to forget what happened in New Zealand. Everyone here certainly remembers it... ;)

"Remembers" ... ;)

Well I think we finally found the model for the Fleetwood Mac movie: Rashomon :thumbsup:

Mick has got to play some part in the "inspiration" for Sara. Think back to the 1979 Innerview in which Stevie said: "Mick is involved in Sara because he's a very deep & dear friend. There's another musician in Sara. There are many men in Sara."

Sara just might be the kinkiest song Fleetwood Mac ever wrote.

I always thought Sara was about Mick. Singing and undoing laces, I just sorta pictured him. But then I stopped cause I don't want to see more. Haha.

Oh, Lord!
I now need to bathe in bleach!

I could see him as the Great Dark Wing (and that's what I remember Stevie saying somewhere--that he was the inspiration for that since he wore that funky-assed cape) but that's about it.
I'd assume the singing and lace-undoing was Don Henley.

I think anything stormy was Lindsey.

And Sara, of course, is Stevie.

I agree with this. I think she was saying that Mick was sort of the saviour to her when Lindsey was being a prick. Which, I guess at that time, was most pretty regularly.

Mick said in his book it was about him arriving in his black Cadillac.

Mick doesn't sing in the Mac.
Sometimes people sort of are sing-songy. Like my mom sings to Muzak and doesn't even know she's doing it.
I have always pictured him doing that.

LOL. Ok. As you wish.
