Stevie was to perform Go Your Own Way
I woke up this morning and saw Stevie trending on twitter. I think she performed in Houston last night and commented about Maui. There was a photo of Stevie on stage in the 1970s with an acoustic guitar. I think we all saw clips of her strumming with Fleetwood Mac. However someone posted that in February 1977 the band went into Rumours tour rehearsals and Lindsey was trying to teach Stevie the acoustic parts to perform live. However she could not cut it and the band was forced to hire Ray Lindsey. I suppose Ray would be forever grateful for Stevie not able to do the job. They actually posted the audio of Chris talking, Lindsey playing, etc. Stevie jokes that her debut is not debuting
Sort of surprising since she plays piano fairly well Hope this link works https://twitter.com/morethanashoe/st...13929738444802

But the idea she was EVER capable of playing live onstage (no discipline and no consistency) and especially on one of LINDSEY'S songs is beyond laughable.

Yeah I agree, this can’t have really been given any legit consideration by Lindsey. That acoustic part was so important to the song’s construction- I can’t imagine him really suggesting that she could handle this on stage every single night.

Did she not receive an acoustic guitar on her 16th birthday. She should have went Eddie Van Halen all over them.

She just did not have the chops to play seriously in front of a paying audience (for show, she used to play the electric piano on “Rhiannon” for thirty seconds on the 1983 solo tour). Wasn’t it some print interview where Christine said that Stevie should have built her chops and played onstage just to be thought of as “one of the musicians”? Stevie had every opportunity to do so in a fifty-year career and chose not to. (We know why: it doesn’t look alluring for the Welsh witch to have a guitar strapped around her shoulders. It restricts her flowing movements.) Her guitar playing is OK for someone’s living room (that may be her playing on one of her demos on the Enchanted box set), but her piano playing shouldn’t be foisted on any paying customer — except in a decorative context (where she puts candles on a grand piano and bangs out “Dreams” or “Gypsy”). She is practically hopeless on an instrument. Her voice is her instrument (and a good one it is). https://www.pinterest.com/pin/fleetw...1823104572544/

Carol Ann Harris mentioned this in her Storms book. According to Harris, Nicks was the one who suggested that she play the acoustic guitar onstage, but Buckingham quickly grew frustrated with her inability to play the part sufficiently and ultimately decided against it.

He may have said some things out of frustration. Her response was "Would you say that to Eric Clapton."
