Stevie Nicks - Fleetwood Mac HOLD ME Video Shoot - Rare Footage

Released in 1982, after a short hiatus following the successful TUSK tour, Fleetwood Mac's MIRAGE brought them back to the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 200 chart, something that eluded them since 1977s mega successful RUMOURS LP, which remains one of the Top 5 selling albums in history.
The first single was the Christine McVie's "Hold Me", which reached #4 on Billboard's Hot 100, and remained there for almost 2 months (it was the 31st biggest single of that year). With McVie's husky, smoky delivery and her impeccable gift of writing great pop melodious gems, "Hold Me" remains one of Fleetwood Mac's most indelible classics.
In the summer of 1982, with temperatures reaching more than 100 degrees, director Steve Barron (who had recently directed the classic video "Don't You Want Me Video" for the Human League) took Fleetwood Mac to the Mojave desert to shoot the video for "Hold Me"; the video, like so many other videos from that era, makes little-to-no sense, especially when married to the song. John McVie and Mick Fleetwood goofily "play" archaeologists unearthing ancient guitars. As Christine spies through a telescope, Lindsay paints Stevie in the blistering heat, then Stevie paints Stevie in the blistering heat, who , in turn, traipses across the desert in her red platform boots carrying her canvas. It was/is all quite ridiculous, but the video was a huge hit for MTV at the time and remains a fan favorite.
Barron directed other classics of the early days of music videos, such as a-ha's "Take On Me" and Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", but "Hold Me" is inexplicably left off of his Wikiepedia page.
In this rare behind the scenes footage, Barron directs a breathtakingly beautiful Stevie Nicks for her scenes in the video. The clapper board dates this as June 24, 1982.
