Thanks!

The song worked so well live and with a number of arrangements. I particularly enjoy the version from the 1974 soundboard (Will the Real FM Please Stand Up) where Christine is playing piano, Bob Welch is ripping away on the guitar. It's closer to the album version than Lindsey's approach, though it's a bit faster than either the album or 1976 versions.
