I'm new here and only recently re-discovered my Fleetwood Mac love from years ago, so I'm not as overexposed to the solo Big Love arrangement as others here. But I definitely understand the desire to hear new arrangements of other songs - it's variety! I've closely followed other artists in the past and it gets disappointing hearing the same rendition of the same song time after time, years after years, after putting in the time and effort to tune in and hear all of these special appearances. I remember being like "Ugh, really? THIS again? Why am I up taping this at 1am for this exact same song?!" I can definitely relate to that frustration. (Of course they're playing for the broader audience and not "to me".. but... You have decades of music to choose from and you keep playing the same track over and over? It's just boring!)

I love Big Love and the solo version is extremely impressive... but if he does do it every performance, it is bound to get old. I do understand why he chooses to do it (it really is a monster of 3ish minutes and bound to impress). Heck, it still blows me away since I'm still kinda new to that arrangement myself . But I wouldn't want to hear it on everything.

I completely agree with wanting to hear an acoustic version of Tango In The Night!

(Does he ever do Caroline?)
