Yes that's the Rumours Tour. That's the final eight or ten days, in fact, of that tour.
Problem is, Stevie's vocals were pretty drugged-out-drippy-doodle-woodle hinkie-dinkie-parlez-vous by that point. She sang as if she had a staf infection or an inflammation on her mouth or lip, trying to restrain motor movement out of pain or something. I think her tour doctor shot her mouth or jaw up full of painkiller, so she sang all her songs -- Rhiannon, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman -- like Gloria Grahame singing in Oklahoma & not moving her mouth.
But of course the band's playing was slinky & winky & kicky & dicky: the interspersal of FX on pianet with Gibson Les Paul with undulating, cobratastic bass line all created mystery & history & herstory & gory-wory.
