Last night I put on my headphones and listened to the Live in Nashville (May 21, 1977) bootleg. It's probably their best recorded live performance. They were a BAND. They sang and played as a really tight unit. Now, I don't expect the singing to match what they were capable of back then (Stevie's higher register was still intact), but if they're going to record and/or tour with Christine rejoined, then I'd like to feel some of that old unity again. Is that even possible? I don't know. Should they go back to playing without the extra musicians and backup singers? I don't know.
