It made perfect sense for the band to play it if you remember that Billy Burnette was an avowed Lindsey Buckingham fan, & DON'T LET ME DOWN AGAIN was one of his favorite songs. It was undoubtedly his idea to throw it in. The band played it magnificently: Mick & John were never tighter, & Rick's guitar was unleashed. It was gut-thumping in concert. There was no passion play of windswept emotions involved -- just the new guys wanting to rock out & pay a little tribute to a key former member.
