Maybe Irvine is my favorite of all of those---Irvine continues to be my favorite from many angles. I always thought it was a shame that the concert video they filmed was the ordinary L.A. shows instead of this amazing & scary Irvine show.

David, first of all, what is amazing and scary about the Irvine show? I've never heard it...secondly, is there a soundboard available or just audience?

It's a show that I look back on with real fondness, Joe, but it may be just my off-kilter quality. I thought the band played & sang with ferocious power, with Buckingham & Nicks especially battling it out for supremacy in the decibel department --- her vocals & his guitar. I don't think I've ever heard Fleetwood Mac so committed & so liberated onstage, but the people I was with (one of them was the rock radio journalist Laura Gross) thought the performance was lackluster ... so go figure.

I'm not aware of any soundboard recording of it, & unfortunately the audience tape seems surprisingly subdued.

and is the one that made me a fan.

I LOVE the cleaning lady version and I would just love it if they would remaster this one so I could hear it clean w/o all the tape noise.

I had alway thought those extra vocals might be Stevie on another track? I have always wondered about that b/c I, too, wondered about Stevie's back-up singers on a FM record. I think the song would be better without them.

I love it when she sings "All I ever wanted was to know that you were dreaming.." and "the wind became crazy".

It is a most haunting song and I guess that's why I love it so much..

i've changed my favorit version....my favorite version is the one they ARE going to do on the 2003 tour! Hopefully!!!


regarding another favorite version....i love the St.Louis 11-6-79 -
hey that's 23 years ago today! Anyway, i love the ending of "all i ever wanted was to knowwwwwwwwww...." i love how she just holds that note. and the film of that is classic.
