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!

There's a Christine documentary??????

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.

[lazy poker]

does anybody know if there are plans to make the docu available commercially?

[HomerMcvie]

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...

Yes of course the Tango videos were shot relatively close together. However they were shot in sequence of single release. As I mentioned, its speculation on my part. They put a ton of dough into the Gypsy video yet not make it the lead off single.

I believe that is how we ended up with a Stand Back Civil War video. If Anyone Falls was to be the lead single and Civil War theme. But Stand Back was switched but they kept the theming of the video.

I always pay attention to those small details. Forgive me for over-analyzing ;)

I'm certain that the Gypsy and Hold Me videos were done back to back.I think that Gypsy was done in LA in the studio and then they headed out to the desert to film Hold Me. I don't think that the success of the Bella Donna singles had anything to do with Hold Me being the first single.It is easily the most sure fire hit on that album and Stevie always had the second single on all of the "Rumours" line up albums.

[Villavic]

Stevie says it came out great. I don't see the Hold Me video as a great one. Never understood why they shot in a desert, it's a bit boring to me. Even more now that they say they were very upset with the heat, the high heels, drunk, etc. I far more enjoy watching Big Love or Gypsy.

I think Hold Me and Everywhere (the one that does not feature the band at all) are my least favorite FM videos.

[lovethemac1]

That was really good. I hope someone releases the entire version.

That was also the first time I've ever watched something, where I was very surprised at how old Stevie looked. As soon as she came on the screen, I was taken aback at how old and senior citizen she appeared. Her makeup was exaggerated and elderly looking. She looked scrunched down in her seat, like her back was bowing. Maybe these last 2 years have aged her substantially, not for the better. Find that hard to believe tho, I thought she's supposed to be deliriously happy?????????????

She just needs to retire now...that is all.

I never cease to be amazed at the geriatric rock stars who refuse to give it up.

I can see(I guess) doing it into your early 60's. But when you have no voice left, it's just plain embarrassing. John could play until he's 99 if he wanted to. As long as he can still play the notes- that's all that matters. When a singer can no longer hit the notes, or even close.....

Slightly off topic, I've maintained for years that that's why Robert Plant won't do a Led Zep reunion(Steve Perry and Journey, too). If you were a GOD, and have 300 million dollars, don't go back and embarrass yourself at 70, hitting a quarter of the notes. Go enjoy your 300 million, having young hotties feeding you grapes all day, while you sun bathe nude!(got a little side tracked there, didn't I?):laugh::wavey::wavey::laugh:

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.

Yes. Little Lies was released as a single in late August. It was still high on the charts when the formal announcement of his leaving the band was published in a late September issue of ROLLING STONE.

Everywhere was released in early 1988. Two videos: one with and one without band members.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:angel:

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.

It peaked at #4 on US billboard pop charts. Ironically so did Little Lies. Billy Idol's Mony Mony sort of blocked Little Lies from rising further. Dont Stop is Christine's biggest chart topper reaching #3 on US Billboard.

I forget the songs but both Hold Me and Gypsy got stuck with unusual long term songs that stayed at #1 which clogged the top 10.

I laughed when the director said that Christine was "mildly pissed off at this person and mildly pissed off at that person. But you could tell she'd been through it many, many times."

:lol::p

Eye of the Tiger was the biggest one at that time.
There were so many classic songs that hung around the top ten at the time of Hold Me.
