The studio version of "Sisters of the Moon" is terrific and the live versions found on the Tusk and Mirage tour are almost as good, but the quality absolutely tanked by the 2013 tour and On With the Show. I still enjoy the acoustic rendition of "Big Love" but would welcome a rendition that's more faithful to the studio recording.

As for other songs that FM has performed poorly in the past, I wasn't a fan of "Not That Funny" on their 2013 tour or even their original Tusk tour, but I love the studio version. "Hold Me" doesn't translate perfectly live, but it wasn't performed poorly. I don't understand why Fleetwood Mac kept "Blue Letter" in their live set up until 1990. In my opinion, that was a wasted slot.
The best part of Not That Funny live was Chris's honky tonk piano playing. It also made for some great visuals during the Mirage show. But on the Dance, I dont think Chris played on Not That Funny. The real piano was sort of retired after 1987
