Why live

[The Chain]

Just curious if anyone can comment on/upload their favorite live performance of Why by the Rumours lineup. I love the original, but there's just something about the arrangement, especially Lindsey's guitar, that I love from the 1976 performances.. that amazing Midnight Special version, wobbly-at-times vocal performance or not! I used to have a few different versions, but of course, they've all been misplaced, deleted over time.. Anyone care to share?
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.
