Arkansas Times, August 26, 2014 by David Ramsey
http://www.arktimes.com/RockCandy/ar...-fleetwood-mac I'm going to piggyback off of Benji's pick [which was Tusk] and highlight the best thing the Internet ever found, the five-minute grainy footage of Stevie Nicks getting makeup for a Rolling Stone photoshoot and working out how "Wild Heart" will go (see below). People, I have goose bumps on my goose bumps. I am alive, awash, rocked, renewed. Only 866,000 have viewed this on YouTube! That means literally billions of humans walking the earth have not seen this. Music is the stuff of angels and aliens. What I'm trying to say is that when Stevie sings, it is from another place. Like received wisdom. A reminder that physics is an insufficient explanation for our universe. Here in this universe there are them that are suckers for Stevie Nicks and them that ain’t. Pity the latter. — David Ramsey |

It appears to me that she is singing to an early-stage track of the song, still in production. It's not so earth-shattering to me; it would be if she actually performed it on her Wild Heart tour.

She's singing to an early track of Lindsey's Can't Go Back.

I have a question about this video. It was filmed about sept 81. Stevie claims the Belladonna tour ended (and that she was in tears during the last song) because she had to join FM in france to start recording Mirage. But the sessions in France were done months prior to that. Plus she had the unfinished Can't Go back track to sing along to, and also was singing Love in Store. So I am assuming the Bella Donna tour was so short because she had to go back to doing overdubs? Her sense of history sure is off.

http://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/musi...OSL/story.html Stevie Nicks, wild at heart Rare is the casual Fleetwood Mac fan. It’s not unusual for devotees of the seminal rock band — responsible for such hits as “Landslide,” “Gold Dust Woman,” “Don’t Stop,” and “Gypsy” — to tend toward completism, gobbling up everything from Lindsey and Stevie’s 1973 pre-Mac “Buckingham Nicks” album to the members’ various solo albums and the promising 2013 comeback EP “Extended Play.” So for those already twirling in anticipation for the band’s Wednesday night appearance at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, this candid five-minute clip of raw Stevie power will be of special interest. Shot backstage in 1981 at a photo shoot for Rolling Stone, it captures a young Stevie Nicks unable to sit still while getting her makeup done, and lapsing instead into a rapturous take of “Wild Heart” — a song that would find its way onto her second solo album, “The Wild Heart.” But attentive ears will hear a discrepancy: The music she’s singing over is actually a demo of a song that would become “Can’t Go Back” on Fleetwood Mac’s 1982 album, “Mirage.” Are you dorking out yet? Because we are fully dorking out. Oddly (and predictably), this impromptu mashup is pretty much perfect, a fleeting Fleetwood moment caught by kismet for the ages (and arguably better than either of the tracks she fused to conjure it). The clip provides a gripping glimpse of a legendary talent at full force, and proof that Nicks can summon the sublime from the ether of her everyday. There’s magic all around her, if I do say so myself. |

Wow, this takes me back to being 14 years old again. I watched that when it originally aired. I became a huge Stevie fan around this time and was so excited to see that she was going to be in a DC video. I was a fan of them as well.

Fleetwood Mac was in the early stages of recording Mirage, while Stevie was developing material for her second album. It appears that she used Lindsey's early instrumental track as a guideline for the gestation of Wild Heart. They released the album, and embarked a short tour. Then Stevie went to work on her second solo album. The song evolved into an epic saga with very little relation to the song that became Can't Go Back. The clip is interesting from a historical standpoint. It' shows the song in primitive form, lacking the arrangement (and probably the lyrics that became the end result. It's insightful for several reasons. It reveals one of the techniques Stevie uses to develop her songs. It's also the precursor of Sharon's and Laurie's assimilation into the Fleetwood Mac camp, after as Stevie formed life-long, sisters of the moon bonds with them in her Bella Donna phase.
