"Fabulously"??? REALLY?? That just makes me question your own standards of musicianship, there, David. I would be embarrassed to even be in the same room with them if I was in the band & they played the way they do on those "demo"/"outtake"/"whatever" versions of "Smile At You". I've heard garage bands of 15 year olds who play with more energy & aptitude than Fleetwood Mac does on those versions.

On the finished SYW version, everything finally comes together and adds punch & intensity.
