A segment from the long running Australian music TV series Countdown, which aired on the ABC from 1974-1987.
This particular segment aired during the Countdown episode which originally aired on December 24, 1977, on the ABC.
This clip features an interview of American singer Stevie Nicks from the American/British band Fleetwood Mac, conducted by Countdown Talent Co-Ordinator Molly Meldrum, at her home in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California.
The interview begins, after an in-studio introduction by Molly, with a discussion about how she joined Fleetwood Mac, and what she knew about them prior to joining. They also discuss what she likes, such as her house and her dog.
The segment ends with a clip of Fleetwood Mac's hit 'Don't Stop'.

Vaxfacts: Nicks' home, where this interview was conducted, was once the home of silent movie star Vilma Bánky.
Just prior to this interview, at Regine's restaurant, bar and discotheque in New York City, Molly danced with Stevie Nicks at a party thrown by Rod Stewart's record company, unaware of who she was. When they sat down for this interview, a week or two after the party, Stevie asked Molly if she knew him beforehand, to which Molly, still embarrassed about not recognising her, said no.
