Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the official music video of the modern pop version of Fleetwood Mac performing The Chain which was included on their 1977 album Rumors.
Although the entire band Christine McVie [nee Christine Perfect], Fleetwood Mac, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood.
On Sunday, I was listening to Chicken Shack, British blues band, with Christine Perfect as lead singer.

I always preferred the Blues band Peter Green's Fleetwood Mack which included John McVie, Christine McVie and Mick Fleetwood.

"Mick had a beat going, to which Lindsey started some intense soloing, then John joined in and composed his classic bassline on the spot as he tried to find his place in the jam. All they had was this jam, which became the closing portion of the eventual song. Not having a real song yet, Stevie remembered a lyric & melody she had laying around from her Buckingham/Nicks days (which wasn't at all about her relationship with Lindsey), and Lindsey took this and gave it the opening chords and arrangement. Later, though the song was more or less complete, Lindsey removed large portions of the lyrics and added his own, according to Rick Dashut, their engineer. Christine later said she had no idea what Stevie's lyrics were about but they sounded great. You can find this story on "Classic Albums" on the AXS channel.'
This is the only Fleetwood Mac song credited to all five members of their 1977 lineup. Since various pieces were assembled to make the song, they all had some contribution.
This song came to represent the resilience of Fleetwood Mac and the strength of their bond as they continued on for many years despite their personal and professional difficulties. It was often the first song they played in concert.
The low bass line in this song was used by the BBC for the Grand Prix theme tune for many years. >>
Mick Fleetwood: "'The Chain' basically came out of a jam. That song was put together as distinct from someone literally sitting down and writing a song. It was very much collectively a band composition. The riff is John McVie's contribution - a major contribution. Because that bassline is still being played on British TV in the car-racing series to this day. The Grand Prix thing. But it was really something that just came out of us playing in the studio. Originally we had no words to it. And it really only became a song when Stevie wrote some. She walked in one day and said, 'I've written some words that might be good for that thing you were doing in the studio the other day.' So it was put together. Lindsey arranged and made a song out of all the bits and pieces that we were putting down onto tape. And then once it was arranged and we knew what we were doing, we went in and recorded it. But it ultimately becomes a band thing anyway, because we all have so much of our own individual style, our own stamp that makes the sound of Fleetwood Mac. So it's not like you feel disconnected from the fact that maybe you haven't written one of the songs. Because what you do, and what you feel when we're all making music together, is what Fleetwood Mac ends up being, and that's the stuff you hear on the albums. Whether one likes it or not, this is, after all, a combined effort from different people playing music together." (Courtesy: lucky98fm.com.)
The Rumours album was pieced together by overdubbing individual instruments, since the band was in no position to record at the same time. The only instance of two instruments being recorded together on the album occurs on this song, when the drums and guitar solo are playing together.
This song was used in episodes of Heroes ("Chapter Five 'Exposed'" - 2009), Glee ("Rumours" - 2011) and The Americans ("Walter Taffet" - 2015). It was also featured in the 2017 film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, where it appears in two scenes. All five Fleetwood Mac members agreed to its use after watching the scenes.
After booting Lindsey Buckingham from the band in 2018, Fleetwood Mac continued to perform this song in their new iteration with Neil Finn and Mike Campbell (Finn handled Buckingham's vocals). Their first public performance with this lineup was on the Ellen show broadcast September 5, 2018 - they opened with the song. The chain may have been broken, but they filled in the missing links."
