I do recall reading (perhaps on this forum) that sometime in 1996 Lindsey (the last holdout) decided to rejoin. I don't definitively recall when in 1996, or whether it was even specified, but very vaguely recall July.

The further question is when exactly Lindsey and Stevie agreed to join forces for "Twisted."

Twister was released on may 10. So the song Twisted was recorded before. If this statement about Lindsey confirming the reunion in november '96 is true, then by the time he and Stevie recorded Twisted, the reunion was still just a project. In any case, the ideal thing would be to find a source, a news item from that year, that formally announced the meeting.

Yes, the solo tour live version arrangement was awesome.

I think the song works best in a simple, soft arrangement (like the demo) or a complex, fast and powerful arrangement (like the solo tour version), whereas the soundtrack version with Mick's after-the-beat drumming was too safe, middle of the road and languorous.

Oh, people, people. TWISTED works best the way Fleetwood and Buckingham did it. Even the two-part harmony is best.

However ................... when Stevie and her makeshift band did it in 1996 a couple of times and made it sort of a Dave Matthews sound, I liked it.

YEP! It was amazing to hear a Buckingham/Nicks song in 1996. The soundtrack version was so FM and gave me hope for a reunion…..which it did end up happening a year later. The song should have been done on the DANCE/concert and disc.

Would have been much better than Sweet Girl... it's a shame that it just wasn't a Fleetwood Mac song in general but then it probably wouldn't even exist in the first place.

I guess Stevie did think in 1996 that Lindsey had an amazing way of taking my songs and making them wonderful (which she said in 1997) and I agree with that (also agree with the When he was happy with me ) so she asked him to collaborate and produce the song, but I don't know what they talked about or what they decided about where to take this song. So I can't say Lindsey made a mistake this time. But definitely this demo version is more emotional and much more beautiful.

i actually like this demo very much. it's different. but i still prefer the way their voices sound together on the movie version, they're just so beautiful... will never forget how i cried the 1st time i heard it.

i still have the email from john in feb 1997 (framed in the basement lol) telling me that rumours of the reunion weren't far off the mark, he said they were all talking and he hoped it would happen. so by feb i guess it was getting closer to being announced..?
