The answer to this was actually really easy for me. No song showcases every danmed member of Fleetwood Mac all at their "Zeniths" like a REALLY GOOD live Rhiannon from 1975-1980. And I mean really good. Midnight Special don;t cut it for me. There's about a 7-10 way tie that do cut it for me. Almost any of the Tusk bootlegs I have are included. But so is Largo 75, and a few from 77 and 78. Just you have the obvious Stevie at her Witchy Vocal Exorcism Zeneth. Lindsey's had many guitar Zeneths but you cna't argue that his Rhiannon solos have to be some of his best. Not just the solos, the slow build up to Stevie's finish have some of his most psechadelic licks ever. And speaking of the slow build up, did someone say Christine's finest playing ever. Her danmed piano playign is the freaking glue that throws the song into outer space, then Stevie lets out that wail before the dreams unwind part that throws it past outer space into the after life, but first is that hypnotic piano. And Mick and John are all over the song with awseome drumming and bass. SOTM may have temporarily borrowed the title for a milisecond, but Fleetwood Mac performing Rhiannon from 1975-1980 is their Zeneth.

Green Manalishi Live comes close, but there's not enough of a Chis showcase.
