Isn't it standard to only credit the songwriters and producers? If there is a contribution from a guest musician or singer, they are credited for legal reasons.
But otherwise, under the collaborative umbrella of Fleetwood Mac, there is no need to state which members sing on each other's songs. The loyalties primarily go the the writers.
Hold Me was one of their big chart hits - a signature Mirage song. And their cool video was very popular at a time when MTV was in its early stage of cultural prominence. The song is featured on all their best of/greatest hits compilations. But it was only performed on their Mirage tour. Given the ensuing changes in the band, I can see how the song fell off their radar. This current tour was the perfect opportunity to revive the song. I wonder if they even discussed the possibility. They played it so safe with the set list, but Hold Me is in their safe zone; it is one of their well known songs. I recently heard it while shopping at my grocery store.
