Agreed, on all points. Such a classic song, my all-time favorite from Christine. I really hope it ends up on the BuckVie Tour setlist.

I love this song! Definitely one of my favorites by Christine. It's such a lush sounding song too, very mellow.

Why has always been one of my favorite tracks by Christine. I also really like the live version from the 1975 tour with Buckingham/Nicks adding their vocals to the end of the song.

Why is a gentle epic of a song. On some days I cant stand the protracted opening to the song, on other days I feel its essential in building the anticipation. I love the 1975/76 versions of this song... but they aren't a patch on the original album version. I hope its played on the Buckingham McVie tour- I suspect its long consigned to history though.

I love this song so much. I love the Bob Welch era of it live. I am not crazy about the B/N version. Like Everywhere (the dance) I sometimes don't like their clumsy ahhhhhh, ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh.

Where Welch/McVie had this natural blend on this track.

It's a beautiful piece.

It truly is one of their best songs ever. I wish the band felt about it the way that many of us do.

I'd give anything if they'd break it out for the Buck/Vie tour, but it won't happen.
