Christine doesn't confirm that Lindsey threw his guitar at Stevie, though, at least not in that clip...

I've also heard that Christine threw a chair at Stevie once. And that everyone but Mick was pretty violent at one time or another. (My source is pretty good, but I don't want to spread stuff like that because I didn't see it for myself)

From what I heard it was during the Tango sessions when Chris was trying to get her attention when she was staring at the stairs.

She chaired at the chairs! There are many things to chair at these days!

And somehow Lindsey "flicking his foot" playfully (but drunkenly and inappropriately) at Stevie has become "Lindsey KICKED Stevie".

Perhaps the "chair he threw at her" was from a Lego set?

Stevie over dramatizes everything. So does Mick. They're both flakes.

I mean, when you throw an electric guitar and it lands on the stage floor, can you imagine the noise coming through the PA? Not to mention the potential damage to the instrument — did his roadie have to bring out another Turner for him to finish the concert?

I have no doubt that Lindsey was acting like a jerk and was both baked and drunk. I just want to peel back the incrustation of storytelling and get to what actually happened, who witnessed it, and how big of a mess it actually created. Mick said that the show was simulcast for New Zealand radio. Where is that? Nobody in New Zealand managed to get a cassette recording of it?

I don't think a published review of the New Zealand show has ever seen the light of day either.

In Christine's defense, I'd have a hard time not throwing running chainsaws at her.

I'm not sure if these have been posted in this thread, but here's a few more recollections about the New Zealand incident:

Consider the enormous variety of memories, several of them contradictory.

Stevie 2005: “We were on the last song of the set ... that is the first and only time we have not done an encore.”
Carol Harris: “The band had only been playing for a little while.”
Mick 1990: “Halfway through the performance, he snapped.”

Mick 1990: “He started to kick Stevie while she was trying to salvage the number [“Rhiannon”].
Rolling Stone 1997: “He came over—might have kicked me, did something to me, and we stopped the show.”
2009: “After their team meeting, Fleetwood Mac did return to the stage.”
Carol Harris: “The whole show fell apart.”

Mick 1990: “It turned out they [the audience] either didn't notice it or thought his behavior was part of the act, or just a joke.”
Carol Harris: “The audience was stunned.”
2009: “Street Talk was the support act that night ... as Fleetwood Mac deteriorated in front of our eyes, I remember a chant starting up—‘Bring back Street Talk.’ ”

2009: “It was March 1980 in Wellington ... that night in Athletic Park” [March 20, 1980].
Mojo 2003: “Playing to 60,000 in Auckland, New Zealand” [March 22, 1980, in Western Springs Stadium].
2009: “Hammond [opening act Street Talk] said the gig that followed at Western Springs was a good concert but Wellington was most definitely ‘meltdown night.’ ”
Mick 1990: “In mid-March we flew off to New Zealand to play in front of sixty thousand fans in Auckland.”

Did this happen in Auckland or Wellington?
Did the audience notice or not?
Did it happen during “Rhiannon” or the end of the show before the encore?
Did Fleetwood Mac return to the stage or not?
Did Lindsey kick or not?
Did Lindsey throw guitar or not? Why does Stevie call it a black Les Paul, when Lindsey was playing a Turner on every song that Stevie was onstage for?

I reckon Dennis Dunstan could provide the most accurate account, since he wasn't partaking in any... substance abuse.

He seems to have too much class to ever tell, though.

Plus, he's still working in the industry, and it would be a dumb move on his part.

This is an impressive presentation, David! No joke. Quite entertaining and instructive.
