Of all the live Tusk versions that will just blow you away I totally believe Lindsey(Oh yes folks I blame him) chose THAT one as the track to define Stevie and to this day I completely skip that track. The live album does have many good selections but they completely failed with Rhiannon. I truly believe that Stevie had nothing to do with the song selections on Live because at that time she had already moved forward and had begun the production of Bella Donna.
Rant over.

Really? I don't mind that version of Rhiannon (although my favorite is from Providence 1977). And I think it's from the Rumours tour even though it's on the Live 1980 album. I think it was determined that some of the songs on that album actually came from tours earlier than the Tusk tour. (?)
But, does anyone else think that the version on the live disc of the Rumours boxset is the very same version as the Live 1980 version, just without the smoothing out of the rough edges of the music that the Live 1980 version has? The vocal and most of the music is just too much the same, and at that point (anything pre-The Dance Reunion Tour), the song never sounded the same twice, there was alawys something different, either the vocal, the guitar solo, the keyboard, something.
Or, if not, where is it from? From which of the three shows that the Rumours live disc pulls the songs did this Rhiannon come from? Thanks.
