Stevie had a driver's license at one time, it must have expired shortly after the making of this video. I recall in a recent interview that she wanted to get her license back because she wanted to drive again after all these years. If you happen to own Walter Egan's "Fundamental Roll" Stevie's Mercedes in the cover photo. She's also in the inset photo dressed as a cheerleader. This and the 1st album was produced by Lindsey Buckingham with Stevie providing backing vocals.
@jason75 This is NOT after she departed Fleetwood Mac. Walter's album was done in 1978 -- Stevie, Lindsey, Mick, and John all did some special contributions to this album. Stevie was most prominent throughout the album, and Lindsey assisted with production in addition to playing on it. This was just off the huge success of RUMOURS and before they all sequestered themselves to record TUSK!!
Another bit o' trivia...the T-Bird that Ms. Nicks is driving in the video is pictured on the back of the "Not Shy" album...only the "Blonde" in the driver's seat with Walter on the album is Carol Ann Harris, Lindsey Buckingham's post-Stevie girlfriend.
Great song from Walter, saw him live the summer tour for "Not Shy" album, you can hear the Fleetwood Mac influence in his songs...still sounding great today!
Thanks so much for posting this video. "The Blonde In The Blue T-Bird" is actually the first music video I ever saw! When I was 12 years old and living in Hawaii back in 1978 my friend and I were at a record store in a shopping mall and the clerk played this video on the TV!
Wow--never woulda thought there was a video to this obscure track I heard a few times on a weekly local 70s radio program. 2nd only to Mag & Steel for my top WE song.
It's her in the car, but not on stage. My recollection is that the voice on the recording is Stevie's, but the backup singer on stage in the video is not her (i.e. lip-synching.) I hope that clarifies my earlier post.
She's too good at harmony singing, I can't even hear her. Is she the one who sings backup for the refrain? But if she is, then why that other girl pretends that SHE sings??
Maybe because Stevie supported them both by cleaning houses and waiting tables (WORKING) during the time they were trying to get established. Both have stated this to be true. Lindsey was able to concentrate on music during that time. Also, it isn't as if Stevie can't write music herself. She has been successful on her own (I love Lindsey too so I won't compare their solo success -- but it seems you have that's why your statement is just sour grapes).
That's not true. I can recall Stevie saying how, back in the Buckingham Nicks era, Stevie was the one working as a waitress and cleaner and making the money whilst Lindsey stayed at home and "worked on the music."

Awesome vid. I don't know where you discovered it but thanks. It was probably the last time Stevie actually drove a car. LOL.
I haven't seen this since it was on Midnight Special in 1978.
Thanks for posting.
what a treat it is seeing stevie drive an actual car!!!
from a time when music comes from the heart .

Never understood why this song wasn't a hit
Great track from the "Not Shy" album.
💕💖💗💙💚💙💗💖💕
could someone post magnet and steel? this is also a great song thanks!
Walter Gets Stevie. end of story :D
Stevie Nicks driving the car, and that's actually her singing backup vocals...not the girl in the band.
That is Annie lip syncing, that is Stevie Nicks singing on the actual track...Stevie's vocals are so distinctive...that vibrato is unmistakeable...
stevie's voice was even more prominent on the album cut.
I can hear Stevie Nicks in this song, but I don't hear her on Magnet & Steel.... Like both songs!
She's too good at harmony singing, I can't even hear her. Is she the one who sings backup for the refrain? But if she is, then why that other girl pretends that SHE sings??

@FishNoLegs
LOL=they do favor a lot!
This is after she departed from fleetwood mac
Why would Stevie have a driver's license anyhow? Lindsey did EVERYTHING else for her.
@gobbaf lol Stevie and Walter dated, so yeah.
Wow, I didnt know Ted Bundy could sing!
wow, this might be the worst thing i've seen on youtube. I had to watch it twice to be sure.
