Amen. And no matter how unjustified its original exclusion may have been, the fact that it reemerged as perhaps THE song to epitomize the drama that was Rumors enabled that song to take on a new life that the others did not. We'd already heard "Dreams" 3 billion times before that night. But the unearthing of Silver Springs was an event.
Only the acoustic version of "Big Love" rivaled its importance in the set.
