What do y'all think? I definitely agree about Over & Over- it's definitely the best live Christine performance I know of. Over & Over is the one Chris song I *really* hope to hear this year. :nod:

No Sisters of the Moon from Mirage? Fail. I don't think the author looked very hard for rare and unique live performances. Some of the Rumours-era live songs are the only existing video of those songs, so my take is the person was choosing songs rather than performances, singular moments of magic.

I would agree with Angel Tusk tour.

I might also go with Big Love during The Dance tour, but I'd seen Lindsey do it that way solo and I think that's when I was most blown away, because it was new to me. So, it could have been better during The Dance, but the surprise factor was gone.

I love Over and Over.

The Chain, Mirage Tour much better.

The Chain, Mirage Tour much better.


^This.

Mirage tour "The Chain" might be Fleetwood Mac's best live performance ever, of what we've seen on YouTube at least.

I think "Sisters of the Moon" from the Tusk tour is better than the Murage performance. Stevie's voice is definitely better even though she doesn't go nuts and Lindsey's solo is in the right place. I think moving the placement of the solo on the Mirage tour version is a detriment to its effectiveness. It's perfect on the Tusk album and tour.

It is pretty sensational!

While I like "Need Your Love So Bad" and "World Keep On Turning", I would easily take "Oh Well," "Rattlesnake Shake," or "Manalishi" over those.

Favorites
1. Angel- Tusk tour
2. Sisters of the Moon- Mirage
3. I'm So Afraid- 1975 (out door concert Lindsey in red shirt)
4. Rhiannon- Midnight Special 1975

[Montclare]

I did something similar to this a few months ago for a friend (and just for fun). I have some of the same ones, but you definitely also have to have-

World Turning, Largo 1975
I'm So Afraid, Rosebud (quite possibly my favorite performance of theirs ever)
Sisters of the Moon, Mirage

And I'd replace the versions she lists with-

Songbird, Mirage
Never Going Back Again, Japan 1977

For The Chain, overall, I prefer the 1979 one, but I do love the intensity of the Mirage one, both for the looks Lindsey and Stevie are shooting one another, and Lindsey's guitar solo.

I think all thier live performances have unique qualities. I liked sisters this last tour. I liked her wailes and "No!!!" In the chain this tour too. It reminded me of the mirage video. I think she watched the video before they went out

If she watched the Mirage video, wouldn't she have a better idea about the last time Sisters was performed than she does?

If they were going to include not only the show at The Roxy, but Gold Dust Woman, I would for sure have gone with The Roxy performance of GDW. I think it's a million times better than the Japan one they went with. The energy in that performance is insane. It both gives me chills and makes me want to jump up and dance at the same time.

Yes I love this performance too. One of my Stevie favourites - its amazing! :nod:

[aleuzzi]

I'd have included
Rhiannon from Rosebud
Sisters of the Moon from the Mirage live video
Tusk from the Tusk tour video
I'm So Afraid from the 1976 outdoor show video
You Make Loving Fun from The Dance
Miles Away from Midnight Special 1973
Bermuda Triangle from the Sausalito soundboard
Loved Another Woman from that '74 live show

I would not have included Gypsy from the SYW tour!

I'm one of the biggest Christine fans on the planet but her vocals on Over and Over from the live album are so horrible!
