I bought the 45 single when it was first released. It's not a demo -- it's a remixed edit version of the Live album version. It is a fairly common practice to prep a song for single release by remixing it. I don't believe there is any real demo (of the song) = usually a rough "demonstration" of the song presented to the band..to see if it's worth attempting. This deliniation, of course, gets very muddy because Stevie, with her own team of musicians, sometimes develops her demos to the point where they sound like outtakes. Some make it to her solo albums...some become Fleetwod Mac songs.
But I don't think was the case with Fireflies.
This song, like Farmer's Daughter and One More Night, I believe, was created during the Tusk tour, specifically for the impending live album. What could be mistaken for "demos" (a term often missused) , are the numerous outtakes that exist as the band tried to get the song togther.
