Something tells me Mick was an advocate for it and Gypsy---he just loves his little set and coming to front and center. Maybe it's both Over My Head and Gypsy that doesn't work?
Agreed on what was said for Sisters of the Moon. This is just ridiculous. Where is the management? They need to see how they used to play that song...I don't know who to blame. Singing over the instrumental refrain = cringeworthy. Just ending. Not rocking it and going for a more intense guitar sound. Dear band, watch Mirage, watch Tusk tour, watch Tusk Tour rehearsals...all on YouTube...or listen to recordings from the tours, I don't care. I just feel the effort wasn't put into the arrangement. Why the heck bring it out then? At least they did Beautiful Child right--that was a huge success, in my opinion. Why it hasn't reappeared beats me, it's an extraordinary song.

I so agree with you regarding SOTM. It's a watered down mess. BC would be awesome to hear again live. As I recall, it went over very well with the audiences. It's funny, fans clamored for years to hear SOTM live and now it's like ok, you can put it away again. Strictly my opinion, of course.
