Favorite Versions of Live Song
 

Here's a bunch of my favorite. But some of you might have versions that are better than the one's I like. So I'm open to change. :lol:

ISA Live album (Mirage tour close 2nd)
YMLF (Mirage)
Chain (Mirage)
Sisters (Mirage)
GYOW (Live "Cleveland") He even says Cleveland Thank you all, very much..
Dreams (Dance)
Over My Head (Live)
SYLM (Dance)
Songbird (Wembly 1980) Have a wonderful Summer!!! Her voice is shot and I love it.
Second Hand News (Live Deluxe LA Forum)
Oh Daddy (gosh I don't know)
Little Lies (Shakin the Cage)

I can agree on every one of those except SYLM. I don't care for that Dance version. So I would have to say maybe the 1976 live version. Stevie sort of ruins the Live 1980 version a bit for me. But the band is tight on that song.

Little Lies 1987 had those screeching opening keyboards that were so 80s but just echoed in the arena. Love it too!

Oh Daddy from the Rumours tour. Chris just did not have much passion on the Dance. She just looked so sad :(

The Chain (Mirage - Live at the Forum, 1982)
Sisters of the Moon (Mirage - Live at the Forum, 1982)
Stand Back (Live in Boston 2004)
Landslide (Fleetwood Mac Deluxe - Live at Jorgensen Auditorium, 10/25/1975)
Big Love (The Dance)
Silver Springs (The Dance)
Rhiannon "Is that what you want from me!!!" (Tusk Deluxe - Live At Tucson, 8/28/80)
Songbird (Tusk Deluxe Live At Wembley, 6/27/80)
Over My Head (Live)
Angel (Tusk Deluxe, Live At St. Louis, 11/5/79)
Everywhere (Tango in the night live, 1987)
Not that Funny (Mirage - Live at the Forum, 1982); as I already said it, just while enjoying a bottle of merlot on friday or saturday evenings with my bf.

Bonus tracks:
Edge Of Seventeen (Live In Chicago 2007). That Waddy+Lenny intro rocks!
Say Goodbye (Soundstage presentes, 2005. Duet with Stevie).

I love the Stand Back on the Shake the Cage tour. I think that's my fav.

A lot of folks at that time didn't like her doing a solo song during FM. But, it's all the same. At least they weren't as hokey as her solo band.

I love the intro at the Live in Boston. But like far more how she ends it at Tango video.

I really liked the way Stevie and her band did Rhiannon on her HBO special in 81. It just sounded so fresh after the greatness of the White Album tour. After her voice changed it just wasn't the same. But then she sang it in 81 and I imagine it was the band that gave it new life. Bob Welch and friends Gold Dust Woman was pretty awesome too

I do love that Bob Welch version! Forgot about that GDW.

Gypsy - acoustic 2000 (AHI benefit)

Is there a youtube for such a claim?

I’m with you on these!

Also:

Songbird (I love The Dance version best)
Over My Head (the live version on the White album deluxe)
Stand Back (from Storytellers)
Eyes of the World (from Live at the Forum, 1982)
You Make Loving Fun (Paris, 1977)
Tusk (Tusk Tour Doc)

I always loved the Rumours 20th anniversary special version of Songbird. Chris does it live but its not in front of an audience. They talk in the middle of it so it gets ruined but I wish I could have a full version. Chris sang it with such emotion and sincerity.

I think the Mac's 1990 version of Stand Back is the best ever.

The only solo song I think Stevie's band did better was Gold Dust Woman Bella Donna/Wild Heart tour. It was a much darker and rocked more than the Mac's version.

The worst version of Sara was Stevie's Wild Heart. Heartless and mailed in. They keyboard intro killed the song too.

I love Stevie's electric version of Landslide on the Whole Lotta Trouble tour.

The Rumours Rhiannon is the best version ever. Period. Simply insane.

Best Oh Well is Lindsey's Tusk Tour. Even better than Peter. Although I have never heard a Mirage version. Is that not sad we dont have a full Mirage show yet?

Ok, I almost stopped it. The start is rough (I can't stand the nasal) But as it goes on it gets better and better. Not my favorite, but I don't mind it.

We could lose the ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh's.



This version you have has the best guitar solo. I love the end of this.

Mirage Tour is my favorite. Her voice somehow as weird as it was that day, lifts the song up.

I agree the Mirage version of live Gypsy is the best. Its almost like they knew they could not sound like the album so made this country vibe version instead. Her voice was in peak form and could handle that bridge....NO PROBLEM.
Also we get Chris and Lindsey singing back up. I don't think that ever happened again.

I even love the Christine Mirage rehearsal version :)

Ever heard Christine sing, Rhiannon? I think she voices, "Etc. etc. etc."

:lol:
