(Comments would be much appreciated!)

This is a demo version of Fleetwood Mac's "Big Love", taken from their 1987 album "Tango in the Night". It was written by Lindsey Buckingham, and presumably this was recorded during the 1986/7 "Tango in the Night" sessions.

This is pretty drastically different from the completed version that comes to be on the album. It seems to be a very skeltal version ready for him to add overdubs, etc. and get a general feel of the song. The only thing that has stayed the same are the "love grunts" (*wink*) that were made using just Lindsey's own voice and a pitch shifter.

The pictures are of Lindsey from various eras, with a few of him with Stevie Nicks thrown in for good measure.

Enjoy!

LYRICS (for completed version)

Looking out for love

In the night so still

Oh I'll build you a kingdom

In that house on the hill

Looking out for love

Big, big love

You said that you love me

And that you always will

Oh you begged me to keep you

In that house on the hill

Looking out for love

Big, big love

I wake up alone

With it all

I wake up

But only to fall

Looking out for love

Big, big love

Just looking out for love

Big, big love

Wow!! What an awesome demo!! Do any demos exist for Lindsey's Out of the Cradle album? I'd love to hear demos of Wrong, Doing What I Can, Countdown, Soul Drifter, Surrender the Rain, etc. Thanks for posting these.

Lindsey is a absolute genius and probably the most underrated guitarist of all time.

@sevmoone There are so many inaccuracies here I don't know where to begin. Firstly, Peter Gabriel does no backing vocals at all on "Hounds of Love". Secondly, Stuart Elliot and Charlie Morgan did the drums on that album, the former playing the drums on "Running Up That Hill". Thirdly, Mick Fleetwood has never worked with neither Kate Bush nor Peter Gabriel.

Awesome demo, great to hear the origins of this classic. Also, cool pics...most I've never seen on the 'net.

I think there are a lot of production similarities between the approaches of Lindsey Buckingham and Kate Bush, and I agree with you on this comparison.

The drumming reminds me of "Running up that Hill" by Kate Bush. Maybe I should do a mashup between these two songs.

Buckingham is genius. His later live performances of this song morphed through the pain of his tormented relationship with Nicks is positively Homeric. The video of him performing this on stage at the RR Hall of Fame induction while his muse, ex-lover and the object of his torment looks on and sings chorus is pure poetry. thanks for this cool version and great pics!
