I like Family Man, but I imagine Tango with two Lindsey songs from OOTC instead of FF and Caroline. That would really be better!

For all of you Tango lovers. This one is for you bwboy, wherever you are.

Seven Wonders stripped down to bass and vocals. She definitely sings rainbow's edge at the end of this early version

the pic of Christine on that link is sooooo gorgeous. She was at her absolute most stunning then, with her longer, fuller hair.

I know this has been posted before but since we are celebrating Tango release month, this little gem should not be forgotten: filming the Big Love video.
Its the dawn of the big hair late 80s. This is the highest hair Chris has ever had, no? For Seven Wonders its a bit down from this and then straight for Little Lies. Lindsey and Mick have so much make up on even from a distance. I love the sound of Mick playing drums over the recorded track. Others can pretend to play their instruments, not Mick.
No scenes of Stevie playing that tambourine make the video. They don't look like they are enjoying the experience very much. This was their first music video together since Hold Me. Stevie's dress Gurl please! A drag queen on Rupaul's drag race would be sent home for wearing such a thing. I wonder if this dress was made especially for this video so she can pull up the sides with something to do. Its not a typical dress. It allows her to pull up the sides and dance without showing her undies. It had musical notes on it. Gurl please! When she is just standing there from the rear it looks like she would weigh over 200 pounds. She's trapped on this small stage and tries to do some sort of dance with picking up each foot a few inches. Its the goofiest thing I have ever seen. This video is so cheezy and the special effects look like something from the early 80s, not the late 80s. Does anyone know this is was a real house or just a studio lot? It looks like part of it was shot outside since John is wearing sunglasses. The best part is them at the beach and its only 2 seconds.

This is so 80s

Hi! Now that I read all your comments, I only can blame Lindsey for all of that...

NOPE!! Hahaha just kidding

Lindsey definitely took the production in bad moments...Tusk, because it was "not Rumours", so it's not that popular...Tango, because it was "too plastic", so it left some radio tracks and nothing else...And then OOTC, because it was "not according to the time", so it made him disappear some years before the FM returning...¡Ay caramba!

He put his best efforts on three albums that went to trash after some years because of the times they were recorded! But come on, most of the 1987 music was plastic and synth-made...Of course we can't compare TITN with the Peter Green or Welch/Kirwan times, but it's a very nice album.

Oh, and about the tweet, I posted that I love Big Love but my fav one is You & I, Part I...I think I'm the only one hehe

I think the point is that it doesn't hold up to the standard that White, Rumours, Tusk, and Mirage set. Those albums sound like THE BAND, not some stupid computer.

Tango is the AI for 1987!

I agree. It would be like comparing The Works with A Night at the Opera.

The fact they didn't take a promo pic when they were doing the Big Love video on the beach is an all-time tragedy.

True, I wonder who the girl was in the video. A model of some sort.

Mick wrote that the Big Love cost a quarter million. But 250k was 835k of today. I wonder how much did the Hold Me video cost, I guess much less.

By the way, judging by the clothes they wore on the beach, no surprise they chose a weather completely opposite to the Hold Me desert.

I could be wrong but I remember Gypsy cost $75,000 which was a ton of dough in 1982. I never heard about Hold Me. Stand Back (second cut) cost $50,000 in 1983. I only know that because it was in a magazine about the second shoot that cost $50,000 because she did not like the first one.

Was not Madonna's Express yourself the first video to cost 1 million to make?

According to Wikipedia it cost 5M. When I see the list I wonder why some videos cost so much; they don't seem so wonderful to me. Well, those were different times.

I missed this last year - very interesting... It sounds to me that she's singing 'Sara' before the second and third verses, or at least, 'ara'! Am I right? I've never been able to decipher it. I always wondered if it was 'ever' or 'never', but 'Sara' would make a lot more sense!

It's "Tara", or that was the consesus in this forum long ago.

I think her adding Tara and saying rainbow's "edge" instead of end in the first chorus justified her getting co-writing credits
