I hope you get this message because I really enjoy these segments and you are so funny. You always have me laughing. Besides knowing your Mac history, you are very funny about it.
You guys missed a major point about Landslide. Landslide was always a major staple of Mac concerts from the first tour before the White Album was released to the Tusk tour. It was the hold up the lighter song that Stevie would dedicate to the audience. It also was a staple on rock stations. It was never released as a single (pre-Dance) but was like the Gold Dust Woman of the album. It was known as a song by the band that got airplay. Stevie stated that at the end of the long Tusk tour that she was "Landslided" and was tired of the song. Even in 1980 she introduced the song as "old." Besides the short Mirage tour, the song was never played through the multiple solo and Mac tours of the mid to late 80s. For the BTM tour, Stevie dug it out and told the audience after almost a decade not being performed it was time to put it back in the set. It was performed in 1990 with the Mac and on her extremely short Timespace tour. Both those tours were not huge draws so many did not get to experience Landslide again. When the Dance happened, Lindsey was back on guitar and it felt like an experience from the 1970s. It made it so much more special. If the song had not been shelved for a decade especially after being a Mac concert staple, I dont think the Dance Landslide would have been as special. It almost felt like a new song again.

Thanks again for these videos and for sticking up for Sugar Daddy. The White album is special because you can hear classic Mac song/sounds like Sugar Daddy or Warm Ways. Either of them could have appeared on Mystery To Me or Heroes. You also get Buck/Nicks sound on Landslide, Monday Morning, and Crystal. Yet you also get songs like Say You Love Me, I'm So Afraid, and Over My Head, and Rhiannon that are the mix of both sounds. It showcases the organic beginnings of the band's sound that would go on to make Rumours.
