Default Christine documentary from last year Hold Me music video behind the scenes clips

https://www.instagram.com/tv/B2s0JyrgOc0/

At the end of the clip when Stevie says “we were all full of sand” then it cuts to a clip of Christine sniffing and fidgeting with her nose, it definitely looks like she did a bump of cocaine lol. That’s how one would sniff and fidget after taking a bump.

I wouldn't be surprised, especially if it was Mick's birthday. By all accounts they were pretty out of it at that period in general. Of course, it may have genuinely been the sand- pesky stuff gets everywhere!

Yes: Fleetwood Mac's Songbird- Christine McVie
It was shown on UK's BBC 4 and run for an hour and a half. Not bad.

Wow, I really really enjoyed this short clip. They were so out of control its amazing none of them did go off the deep end. WTF John so drunk he's ready to fight people knocking on his trailer? Stevie shows up late high as a kite. Mick running around with a sword cutting cake and furniture.
They take separate limos to shows but even recording a music video, they keep their distance, have separate trailers, and don't converse.

One tiny detail that stuck out to me. The guy says he first met Christine after they shot the music video Gypsy. Christine said Stevie got to dress up pretty and now its her turn. So the video Gypsy was made before Hold Me? If so, it shows that Warner Brothers wanted to release Gypsy as the lead single. Music videos are usually made in sequence of singles released. But no way in hell when Bella Donna is still on the charts that it would it be cool for Stevie to have the lead off single. So I wonder if they made a change in releasing the first single. Edge of 17 was just dropping out of the top 40 while After the Glitter Fades was released when this video must have been shot.
Just my speculation but something that makes you go hmmmmmmmmmm.

But weren't the Tango videos all shot relatively close together? Because they were releasing Lindsey videos quite a while after he'd left the band.

They'd been sitting in the can for release...

From, what I gathered, “Hold Me” was always considered to be the lead single. That doesn’t mean, however, that work on the “Gypsy” video wasn’t done first. FM were making a two-pronged attack....one on the airwaves and one one MTV. Perhaps the idea of making Gypsy a visual centerpiece was considered first? However, all evidence shows the label and the band expected “Hold Me” to be issued first. At any rate, the chart performance certainly confirms that it was the right choice as lead single.

I remember when it was first released. Riding around in the back seat of my friend's car. Hearing the piano beginning on the radio, and screaming at everyone to STFU and CRANK THAT SH*T UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember it like it was yesterday...

Hold Me is one of those songs that the first time you hear it, you know its a big hit. It does not need to grow on you. Its the perfect pop song yet not a simple pop song. There are so many intricate layers that make it so good. The piano beginning, the catchy lyrics, the percussion, and the catchy chorus.
I remember Christine stating the song came together so fast and the lyrics just flowed. The song is complicated to do live and needs Lindsey. However Chris's solo live version is still the best live rendition of the song ever. YES, IMHO its even better than the Buck/Vie version with Lindsey on lyrics and the piped in backing vocals. Chris's band really nailed it and made it look easy without piping in backing vocals.

Yeah, didn't it almost go to number 1? You couldn't get away from Christine from 1982-1984. She and Stevie (WildHeart) were all over the radio. Then Everywhere and Little Lies hit us again in 1987. As Long As You Follow in 1988, Save Me in 1990.
