Buckingham Nicks from the 90s through today

It's Fall 1997 and Stevie and Lindsey have it all...almost. With a wedding being planned and a baby on the way, a Fleetwood Mac reunion tour and the news of the band being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, everything has fallen into place. That is, except for Lindsey's tie to a woman from his past that can't seem to take no for an answer. Pregnant with Lindsey's child from their brief relationship , Kristen Messner embarks on a campaign to get Stevie and her unborn child out of the way to have Lindsey for herself...and what results is a fall from grace...and quite possibly, the Buckingham Nicks happy ending that should have been. "One night in a world of pain and you finally understand." ~ Stevie Nicks, "Fall From Grace", Trouble In Shangri-La, 2000

In the spring of 1997, Lindsey Buckingham was having fun in the studio, jamming with Mick, John and occasionally Christine, 4 out of 5 members of Fleetwood Mac ready to rumble. That was when Warner Brothers, capitalizing on the renewed energy and friendships, decided adding Stevie to the mix for a full-blown reunion concert would be a great idea. The Dance, as it was soon called, reunited 5 great musicians and friends...and also...a couple, 20 years smarter and saner and still very much in love. In this THIRD version of The Dance from GoldDustLinda77, you will follow along as Stevie and Lindsey finally clear the air in an effort to see, as they both approach 50, if love can conquer all...if they just sit down and talk and "let their secrets free, baby." Welcome back to 1997, that pivotal moment in history when Buckingham Nicks proves second chances are what happens if you "let the walls burn down" and talk it out.

***The final installment of the Mirage Era Trilogy*** Stevie shocks everyone in her life when she marries her best friend Robin's widower, Kim Anderson, in January of 1983, in an effort to get over the loss and raise the newborn baby boy Robin left behind. The most shocked and appalled by this sudden union is Lindsey, who had made it clear before the wedding that he wanted Stevie back! "Stand Back" takes us through the story of Stevie's ill-fated three-month stint with marriage and motherhood, her descent into drugs and madness as The Wild Heart Tour takes her away from the situation... ...with an alternate-universe ending no one will ever see coming! <3

***A sequel to "Kind Of Woman"... 1982 is a very difficult year for Stevie as she deals with heading out on tour with Fleetwood Mac to promote the Mirage album, working on her second solo album, The Wild Heart, and the resignation that she is losing her best friend to leukemia, only after she discontinues treatment to leave behind her miracle baby. All the while, Lindsey has made his intentions clear: He wants Stevie back and has made every attempt to tell her he loves her, but according to Stevie and her wild heart, "it's a shame that he wanted her" because "he didn't try." (P.S. In-depth coverage of Stevie's infamous emotional "Sisters Of The Moon" performance just days after Robin's death included!)

Continued from Part 1: Destiny Rules... In 2003, after a year-long love affair despite Lindsey's marriage to Kristen, Stevie finds herself on a massive world tour with the band she's sacrificed everything for, minus Christine - her much-needed confidant - and Lindsey, the man she's been too afraid to fight for until now... "There are too many flowers to cut down..." ~ Stevie Nicks, "Running Through The Garden", 2003

(Part 1 of 2) In 2002, Fleetwood Mac went into the studio for the first time in 15 years to create the album Say You Will, and the cameras rolled on a documentary following the process...Destiny Rules... Set after "The Dance", as Lindsey Buckingham has just spent 5 years creating the family that Stevie Nicks insisted he do at the end of the tour when a baby that wasn't hers was on the way, "Destiny Rules" is the story of Stevie and Lindsey finding their way back to each other during the Say You Will era of the early 2000s... "It's just like a river; it's never ending. I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away." ~ Stevie Nicks

"Lindsey is one strong man..."
