Even the studio version of Outside The Rain seems really lacking compared to what it became live.
The fact that she had such immense help from the heartbreakers, jimmy, and Don Henley is what really elevated the material on that record. The lack of their involvement is really evident when listening to Wild Heart.

YOU KNOCK IT OFF!!
I'll defend STEVIE NICKS til the day I die!!!
(As you may have learned, I'm not really good at it)
But I do love Think About It, Kind Of Woman. Would have loved Golden Braid. I think Jimmy Iovine felt it was a bit boring, too. That's why he added some of the Heartbreakers stuff.
