So... if it's not a "Live" recording what is it? A dead one?
I think the purpose of a concert album is to preserve the arrangement of a song as it is done on a particular tour. If the band was performing the song all together does it matter that it was recorded in front of thousands of people or a handful? It's all about the arrangement. I'm glad he didn't go into the massive overdubs, like how Stevie's vocal on Sara was completely rerecorded later. But even so, I love the versions of those songs as done on that album. I also love The Dance and it wouldn't matter if it was done at a soundcheck or performance. It's the way the song is done live that makes for an interesting concert album.
And I don't know how he could say Landslide sounds bored. It's a testament to Stevie, voice going hoarse from a long tour, the way she sounds so emotional, almost of the verge of tears. No matter how many times and ways she does this song, the Live 80 verion will always be one of my favorites.
