It's just something I've seen Darklinensuit hinting at, but obviously I read it wrong.

Lindsey did "Hypnotized" a LOT better than what he admitted his off-stage attitude toward the song was.

Yeah, I guess the whole "I hated doing Bob Welch's songs" attitude in Bob Brunning's book is a bit exaggerated.

As is yours with "When You Say".

I won't forgive him for the ones throughout 1979/80 & 1982 as well. It just wasn't "his" song. Although with his current "let's drag out all the guitar pyrotechnics from the gutter" attitude, NOW is the time he should be playing it.

I still don't think it was any weaker than the other live versions, except for the opening riffage which he did improve upon (but never played it as fluently as Billy & Rick, for instance) when he got his Turner. Those instrumental sections get me going any time, no matter who's playing them.
Who knows, maybe Peter Green should try one of those songs that are Lindsey only in the studio (as we know of "Oh Well", it's all PG except for the recorder solo). Then we'd see if those are up his alley.
Every line-up so far has delivered great versions of "Oh Well" (ok, I haven't heard any live recording from 1994-95).
Consequently, I think Billy and Rick sounded like that aforementioned "lounge act" with the BN line-up songs live. "Don't Let Me Down Again" seems to be an exception. (Note: it could be spoken of as a Fleetwood Mac song because of its appearance on the 1980 live album and because only the hardcores have the Buckingham Nicks LP).
