‘Hey, we’re making an album – let’s go!’”īuckingham relented, partly out of a sense of duty. And Lindsey was in many ways pressured into it.

“The reality,” he says, “is that Fleetwood Mac were intending to make an album. “We had such a good time in the studio and realised that we still had something to give each other in musical terms after all.” “It was the first time for nearly five years that we’d all been in a working environment together,” Christine said. She invited Buckingham to produce, alongside engineer Richard Dashut. The wheels had been set in motion when Christine McVie recorded a version of the Elvis Presley hit Can’t Help Falling In Love for the film A Fine Mess – backed by Mick Fleetwood and the band’s other remaining founding member, her ex-husband John McVie. But while he was busy making music, Mick Fleetwood was busy making plans to get the band back on track. “At that time,” Buckingham later admitted, “the group was a bit fragmented.”īy the end of ’85, Buckingham – working alone at his home studio in Los Angeles – had three songs finished: Big Love, Family Man and Caroline. It was rumoured that Fleetwood Mac had split up. More surprisingly, Mick Fleetwood had been declared bankrupt following a string of disastrous property investments. Nicks had been treated for drug addiction. There had also been problems for them over these years. In that time there had been solo albums from the three singers: Nicks’ The Wild Heart sold a million copies Christine McVie’s eponymous album yielded a US Top 10 hit with Got A Hold On Me but, to Buckingham’s chagrin, his album Go Insane didn’t make the Top 40.
Fleetwood Mac had been on indefinite hiatus since 1982, following a world tour in support of their album Mirage. In 1985, Lindsey Buckingham was writing and recording songs for what was planned as his third solo album. There is an irony about Tango In The Night: that it began not as a Fleetwood Mac album but as a solo project by the man who would leave the band once it was completed. It was almost an obsessive-compulsive desire to not give up. “My motto” Fleetwood says, “was ‘the show must go on’. And this was key to the success of Tango In The Night.
While he freely admits that his own drug-fuelled insanity was instrumental in Lindsey Buckingham’s exit, it was Fleetwood who kept the band together once Buckingham had gone. And for Mick Fleetwood, it represented a personal triumph.
Perhaps most significant of all, it marked the third coming of the Mac, following the successes of the Peter Green-led blues rock Mac of the late 60s and the Buckingham/Nicks-fronted AOR Mac of the 70s. Just as Rumours had done in the 70s, so Tango In The Night defined soft rock in the 80s. It became the second biggest-selling album of their career, after 1977’s 45-million-selling Rumours. It was a dangerous period, and not a happy time.” And yet, for all the drama that came with it, Tango In The Night was a hugely important album for Fleetwood Mac. “It is,” Fleetwood says, “a pretty wild story. The band also performed at the Hornbill Festival in Nagaland, India.Ī behind the scenes travel video can be viewed here. ‘ This Morning’ live from the Television Centre in London (Playlist gathered from articles - not in order except the start, end & encore)
