Also, just for the record, I actually prefer the Soundstage version of "Gold Dust Woman" over The Dance.

Actually I prefer any band's live version of GDW over FM's live version from any tour but the Rumours tour in 1977. FM's just gets so boring the way it just kind of drags and takes forever to die out quietly after the "she's a dragon... Gold... Dust ... Woman..." part. It's like they don't play the whole second part of the song. They just ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist; it annoys me as much as it would if they were to stop "The Chain" at the last note of John's solo. It's like "where's the rest of the song?, where's the intensity that builds to a second climax? (the first being the Stevie wail). The Sound City Players seem to be the most faithful to the album version and effectively build that intensity in the second part of the song.
