Yes, Stevie's contribution to TITN was limited at best- however, I'm surprised she would even want to show up given the situation(s) at the time.
So, an UPSIDE to Stevie for being brave and showing up and participating in Tango in the Night, when most others would have said "FORGET IT!"

People have been asking me to the effect, "Why are you so down on Stevie Nicks, chili?"...
The above situation is a "case in point". Once she started off on her solo career in 1981, she has seemed to place more priority on her solo career than she did with the band. Sure, she's SAID things to the contrary in interviews, but the ol' "actions speak louder than words" thing holds true in this case. She's kept the better songs for herself, she's seemed to save her best performances (both live & in studio) for herself, etc. Like we as Fleetwood Mac fans are just supposed to fall over backwards that she decided to show up for a couple of weeks (and not consecutively) to the Tango sessions?? The results speak volumes. Oh, gee, Stevie, thanks for NOT putting "Gypsy" on Bella Donna...and thanks for bringing us "Welcome To The Room...Sara" when we could've had "If I Were You" or "No Spoken Word", etc, etc.
And, since 1997, the same is true...the whole "Dance" reunion was INTENDED to be the catapult for Lindsey's solo album, but who reaped the benefit? Stevie and her "Enchanted" box. Stole the limelight again.
