Lindsey was the accent king,” Caillat marveled when speaking to the Grammy Museum in 2012. “He could accent with guitars, he could accent with toms [and] he could accent with Naugahyde chairs.” Aware she had something special on her hands, she returned to Fleetwood Mac’s workshop. “I walked in and handed a cassette of the song to Lindsey,” she told The Daily Mail in 2009. “It was a rough take, just me singing solo and playing piano. Even though he was mad with me at the time, Lindsey played it and then looked up at me and smiled. What was going on between us was sad – we were couples who couldn’t make it through.

When studying the recording of Rumours, it’s impossible to avoid the topic of rampant cocaine use. Fleetwood famously worked out that if he laid all of the cocaine he had ever snorted into a single line, it was stretch for seven miles. “The tales of excess are true, but we’d all be dead already if we weren’t made of stronger stuff,” he wrote in Play On. The Berkeley Community Theatre was unavailable, so Caillat booked the University’s Zellerbach Auditorium for March 3rd, 1976, complete with orchestra shell and a nine-foot Steinway. “As a surprise for Christine, I had requested that a bouquet of roses be placed on her piano with three colored spotlights to illuminate them from above. I really wanted to set the mood!” he wrote in his book, Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album. “When Christine arrived, we dimmed the house lights so that all she could see were the flowers and the piano with the spotlight shining down from the heavens. She nearly broke into tears. Then she started to play.”
