True, but I'd argue that this time around (considering Fleetwood Mac shows and Lindsey's solo tour), the staging and lighting really emphasized the impact of the song. I've seen it live before and watched Lindsey play it on video footage. BUT the red lighting overhead on the square platforms (kind of like a toaster oven) coupled with the huge screen in back with the smoke effect was PERFECT!! The audience went crazy for it, and I think Lindsey added a bit more chaos to the end of the solo than I've seen him do before. For a band that shies away from theatrics and the over-the-top productions embraced by other bands, Fleetwood Mac nailed everything for this song, definitely the highlight of the night when considering other elements besides music coming together in the performance.
