I don't see any chance this would ever happen. I think one of the misses of the album was that we didn't get a proper Tusk era full concert since Live was made up of things from '76-'80, not to mention the 'new' songs. That was rectified with the Tusk Deluxe release. As much as I love me some Live, that version of Sara on the Deluxe release was even better. The Chain, and especially Go Your Own Way from Wembley is the best version ever IMO. Just incredible playing.
I've mentioned this before but here is my list of oddities of the album:

Dreams - I HATE this soundcheck version. Its sung just as Dreams was being released as a single and Stevie is trying way to hard singing it. It sounds like she is auditioning for American Idol. I hate it so bad and never liked it. Worst live performance of the song ever IMHO because of how she is singing in wild ranges.

Don't Stop - I hate this live version so bad. Why in the world did they pick a version where Lindsey breaks a guitar string at the end? You can even hear Christine say "You broke a string, didn't you"

One more lonely night is cute but definitely padding. Give us another live track instead

I like Fireflies but record it in a studio later. Give us another live track

Not That Funny - OMG you know Lindsey made sure this song made the album. He has a fascination about it. And you know what.....its a rocking version and takes the song to a new level.

I may be in the minority but never cared for Farmers Daughter

Can you believe the Chain is not part of this album?

This is really Fleetwood mac unleashed. Its what you got in concert compared to the studio Mac. It needed to be heard and IMHO the Live album is one of their best albums ever
