I was listening on GM on the way home from a gig tonight, and had to play it over and over(no pun intended).
At 1:42 ish... I SWEAR where John plays the rundown from the D, that the C he plays is a mistake. It should be a C#(IMHO), and they just left it on the recording, or didn't notice, or....?
Sorry, that note was driving me crazy(and it's a short trip), that I kept playing it over again and again....
Your thoughts?

Never noticed, but to add to the question, Peter also plays bass on that track iirc.

I've just listened to this a few times I don't know what you mean by the run down from D If I'm listening to the right part ,then the harmony is mainly E min leading to C (or C maj 7 )so why would there be a run down which starts on D and secondly ,as the key is E min you wouldn't expect to find a C# at all , surely ?

Again, EXACTLY at 1:42.

It just sounds like it should be a C# instead of a C.

Are you referring to the bass panned right? I believe that is Peter Green on the Fender VI. I believe McVie's bass part to be centered. It sounds in place to me, very gothic or medieval.

On a side note, listening in quality headphones I can really hear some awesome lead work Green played around the edges... I would have bumped that solo up a few db's at the end!
