Tango Questions
1) intro and 2:03-2:20 "Little Lies": Lindsey on string instrument?
2) "Seven Wonders" (1:53-2:18) keyboard sound (not slide or ac. gtr): Lindsey on string instrument? Is it my ears are does each song have a crazy-long fade out (or gap between songs)? "Welcome To The Room" sounds like a song from The Other Side Of The Mirror (which is where it should have gone). Should have Jeremy Spencer'd Stevie (as in, how they relegated him to one song on Then Play On). Might have woken her up a bit. Of course, by this point the group had evolved to a three-songwriter team so that may not have been possible (plus she may have quit). |
All synths.

Some of the keyboard parts were DX-7's and Fairlights, but also guitar synths and vari-speed guitars made to sound like keyboards. |
I always thought the intro and little instrumental bridge in Little Lies sounded like Lindsey’s guitar run through a synth :shrug:

the Cradle tour. Additionally, Lindsey probably doesn't get the credit for being the innovative mid 80's -- mid 90s synth programmer he was. |
Let me know...for what I read in the past, TITN started as a project which combined a work of Christine and the work for "a third album?" by Lindsey. Am I right?
I always thought that the keyboard/piano/synth parts were all by Christine, with Lindsey's collaboration. But was Lindsey who really played there? Maybe I didn't understand right, but for what I'm learning now, most of the synth partes on the album were played by Lindsey...So which parts were played by Christine? Is TITN a Lindsey's entire solo work where the rest only played what he wrote/thought/composed, and then Stevie Nicks added her own part?? More questions for the thread haha ;) |

Tango was not just current in 1987, it was pushing the synth pop envelope. In retrospect, I guess a lot of the ideas came from his work on Go Insane - that was kind of the woodshed album for Tango. |

There’s a demo of “Everywhere” floating around somewhere, which was first aired on a Timothy White interview on the radio back around 1988 or 1989. You can hear the DX7 on that prominently (it sounds like a digital suitcase Rhodes and it was very common on all those sappy love ballads of the 80s). I don’t think that demo keyboard was kept on the album cut — all I can hear on “Everywhere” is a very phat pad. But as John Run noted, she didn’t even play that on tour, instead switching to maracas. |

I agree and vote for more warmth. |
Everywhere is wonderful work of pop music craftsmanship and perfectly fitting vocal performance. The fact that it is the 3rd most streamed song in the Fleetwood Mac catalog is further evidence it is one of the most enduring songs of the Rumours era band and has identified with a generation of music listeners who are likely a different (younger) demographic than the make up of this forum. This list below is from the chartmaster comprehensive streaming database updated through January 31, 2021. A new update will likely be coming soon.

Not taking anything away from the songs but I just see commercials in the top 5 |

Love that Oh Daddy is on that list, too! That one DOES surprise me a bit, given its melancholy. And it’s above SYLM, OMH, or Hold Me—shocker! |
Who is streaming Oh Daddy? Step forward. Reveal yourselves.

When did John get sober? I forget... |

Seriously, she was so checked out of the creative process. Didn't she Fed Ex her brilliant song When I see you again to the band when she was on the RAL tour. Her note read: Here. Do something with this. To make the final cut, Lindsey edited out 5 whatsamatta babies and sang the ending and slapped it on the album :lol: When you show up and do a vocal like this......what do you do? You tend to lean forward and find clever ways to imitate her voice :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53SSoF1LVQM |
I think John McVie got sober after The Dance.

I don't hate Wassamatta Baby as much as the rest of you. Granted it's a bad vocal, but Lindsey does save it, IMO. |

Got it :lol: |

I think (hope) the cancer scare was the final straw with his drinking, but who knows? |
For example: Are the last 15 seconds of 'You And I, Part II" a keyboard played by Christine? A keyboard played by Lindsey? Something else played by Lindsey?
Thanks. |

On a related note- I think Lindsey would be jealous of me, for the first time in my life.... The Beach Boys are hanging out at my watering hole(well, one of my watering holes) in Nashville. They just finished their show, across the alley(at the Ryman). |
Little Lies will be ear worming to a TV near you on Sunday as it is featured in an Amazon ad during the Super Bowl.
