After the Buckingham Nicks album failed commercially, Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac after hearing Lindsey's guitar playing at Sound City Studios contacted Buckingham and asked him to join the band. Lindsey stipulated that if you want me, you have to take my girlfriend too.  This led to both Buckingham and Nicks meeting the band on December 31, 1974 and becoming members of Fleetwood Mac, a pivotal moment in music history, the band's history and all of their careers.
