I have a feeling McVie was playing something similar on the studio version, but it's buried in the fade-in of the other instruments. The descending figure on the studio version sticks to a pentatonic scale (a five-tone scale, versions of which they use all over "Tango in the Night").
Wow! I coudn't say it better...because I have no idea what any of that means! But thank you anyway. Wish I had a technical knowledge of music.
