Where's the jam at the end?? The only decent live version I've ever heard from FM was the Japan 1977 version. And Philly 1977, I guess. I'm sorry, but FM just can't play GDW, it's just so DEAD. After Stevie sings the tag, it just fizzles, but what's worse is that it stays that way until the end. You can't even really tell when it's over; you have to listen for the complete silence and then maybe it's over. Even Stevie's current solo band plays it better. And even the Sound City show band was more faithful to the album version and jammed the end. I actually stayed awake and was moving around for that band's version.

We might have to just agree to disagree then :shrug::o I think for the most part, Rumours era performances were so hypnotic and varied compared to the most current versions. So I would agree with your Philly and Japan picks obviously!
My words can be a bit dramatic I guess sometimes, haha but by 'killer' I would most accurately describe that as trance-like or hypnotic. So, for me, I was captured by it! To each their own..but there were later '78, and even '77 performances when her voice was weak/cracking and couldn't hit/hold the wails. That's another reason why I was impressed by the strength..
Also, DEFINITELY agree with the switched up performance at Sundance. I loved that rocking tempo, even if some of her vocal quality had to give for the energy!
