Crap! you're right, that solo is missing! darn! wtf.
I'll be a betting man and say that Stevie wanted more of that darn synth (ala they way it was done on the '81 HBO special....barf) and wanted lindsey to tone down the guitar. I guess that is whats off about the recent arrangement of Sara, its too close to the solo version that was always piano/synth heavy, while the Fleetwood Mac version had the signature guitar runs that have been previously mentioned. IMHO, it was those differences that really set the Fleetwood Mac live version on a whole different platform. The current version just sounds like an "ok" tribute band arrangement.
Also...whatever happened to that kick butt solo in Rhiannon that he played on the mirage tour!?
It's amazing all the great little things that get left out or forgotten over time. I wish I could hear the reasons WHY!
