I second these guys. I say it's from a tour rehearsal -- I guess in this case the '82 rehearsals. Soundwise, it even has the ambience of the '82 rehearsal audio that you've all heard. It sounds just like the rest of it. They're just messing around; you get sick of going over "Go Your Own Way" forty times so you play other stuff for fun & release. The Otis Redding material is something that all of them would have known forever.
Same thing with that "Beauty & Beast." It was a tour rehearsal. that's about the only situation that Fleetwood Mac ever got together & set up their equipment in close proximity. The band's not even paying attention. It's just a loose jam.
