The "Full Band" Songs

[Andy Man]

There is nothing like listening or watching Fleetwood Mac perform a song together as the group of five. However, FM is a band where a number of their recorded material does not contain all five members. I've always struggled with knowing exactly which songs in the bands catalogue truly contain each member "playing their part". I've made a list below, but wondering if those who have more knowledge than I can confirm..

(Note: a (*) means I am not 100% sure)

Fleetwood Mac (1975)
Monday Morning
Warm Ways
Blue Letter
Rhiannon
Over My Head
Crystal
Say You Love Me
World Turning* (Is Stevie on the album version?)
Sugar Daddy
I'm So Afraid

Rumours (1977)
Second Hand News
Dreams
Go Your Own Way
The Chain
You Make Loving Fun
I Don't Want To Know* (Is Christine on the album version?)
Oh Daddy
Gold Dust Woman

Tusk (1979)
Over & Over
Think About Me
Sara
Storms
Sisters Of The Moon
Angel
Brown Eyes
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Honey Hi
Beautiful Child
Tusk
Never Forget Tonight

(I could be wrong, but are most of Lindsey's tracks Lindsey-only?)

Mirage (1982)
Love In Store
That's Alright
Gypsy
Straight Back

Tango In The Night (1987)
Seven Wonders
Everywhere
Little Lies
Welcome To The Room...Sara
When I See You Again

Thanks. Changed this in the list above.

I think the girls do harmonies on NGBA. Just the "mmhms." Unless I'm thinking of a demo

[ViscountViktor]

I Know I'm Not Wrong definitely has Stevie and Christine in, it's in the Tusk doc.
You can here backing "oohs" from Stevie and Lindsey on Warm Ways.

I'm fairly certain Stevie is in Warm Ways. She is certainly on Everywhere--you can hear her, and Mick makes a point of discussing her participation on it in his book.

Stevie does not sing on the album version of World Turning.

No idea about Only Over You--Stevie probably isn't on it. She may be on Wish You Were Here, but again, I doubt it. She is, I believe, absent from Hold Me.

Christine is vocally absent on I Don't Wanna' Know. She may be playing a mixed-down organ part on it, but I can't hear it. Stevie does not sing on Don't Stop--but some studio hands sang along to the last part of the song--according to Ken Caillat.

She sang "Wish you were here" in some makeup video.

The photo shoot for Rolling Stone?

You know, now that I'm looking at the original list for this post, I think "Book of Love" features all five. As does Can't Go Back. And Save Me a Place.

I do remember this. vaguely... It's called Wish You Were Here/Wild Heart... etc..

[MikeInNV]

Fun thread, but it's not always about whether Stevie is on a track. Should WISYA be listed as a full-band song?

Christine sings on it.


There are a number of Tusk songs without Mick, Christine, or John (ie: Lindsey plays the rhythm parts)...

I thought she was singing to Love in Store before switching to Wild Heart.

Aren't they all just Lindsey altering his vocal in production?
