Syndicated radio show In The Studio: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands this week is running part one of a two part special on Fleetwood Mac celebrating their North American tour and the 35th anniversary of their 1979 classic Tusk. The show sent over these details:

To celebrate forty years since forming this line up, Fleetwood Mac will perform forty dates including multiple shows in several of the biggest North American cities, an unequivocal testament to this specific band's evergreen starpower. With singer/songwriter/vocalist/keyboardist Christine McVie on board, once again, Fleetwood Mac is back to full strength with the mid-'70s line up that made them international superstars.

In Part 1 which airs this week, Stevie, Lindsey, and Mick speak candidly about how Californians Buckingham and Nicks found their way into the very British band Fleetwood Mac. Stevie Nicks shares with InTheStudio program host Redbeard her awareness of the complex dynamics she would face after the two then-lovers became members of Fleetwood Mac.

"You have to remember: Fleetwood Mac was not looking for another girl singer. They were looking for a guitar player, period. The fact that the guitar player they found happened to have this girlfriend, that they instantly knew he was not going to give up for them� I know Mick joked to many people, 'Well if she doesn't work out... off with her head!'" (laughs)
