I think that 16 minute version is locked away forever. Even Stevie said she doesn't think it'll ever see the light of day.

There are several live soundboard recordings that are floating around. My favorite is from the Tusk tour documentary. This show is available on many trader's sites. It's from St.Louis 11-6-79. The song (as appears on the video) was edited quite a bit but the full version is available on the soundboard.

Incidentally, this version IS the version on the Live album but they rerecorded the vocals and added harmonies from Lindsey and Chris. I personally don't really like it. I thought the original version had so much more passion. If you listen carefully to the Live album version there are parts where the original vocal bleeds through. One part that comes to mind is on the final "in the sea of love" verse....when Stevie sings "when you build your house" quicker than the original vocal you can hear that original vocal right after....go listen to it! it goes "when you build your house" (Live album vocal) and then right after that is the faint remnants of the original "build your house....then (call me)" in a higher key which she's belting out....

Anyway, i'm forever stuck with the visual of the performance. It represents an essence of Stevie that i've never seen since. She made sure that performance was special. Back when that song was out and a few years after in the very early days of video, that video was used as a promo clip for the band whenever they were featured on tv....i remember first seeing it on solid gold in 1980 and it was always on MTV...go figure. My....times have really changed....anyway, she looked like a victorian goddess with the hair up in that big onion bun and the red shawl draped around her....and the ending is classic with her head back at Lindsey's mic singing " all i ever wanted was to know........" if that's not classic, then shoot me down!

So, you need to get that!
