I Don't Want To Know question

Sorry if this is beating a dead horse, but I searched around and couldn't find an answer to this question:

Did Fleetwood Mac ever perform I Don't Want To Know live? If not, why?

Cause I looked around on youtube, and it seems that they performed every other song from Rumours live, but not this one.

Is it just because Stevie hated the song, since it replaced Silver Springs?

It just seems weird that they've never performed it live, since I think that (although it should have never been put on the album over Silver Springs) that it's a great little song, and it's sorta a shame that they've never performed it live. The live Buckingham-Nicks version's pretty sweet though, I just wondered if / why they've never performed it live with Fleetwood Mac.

They might have, but no recording of it has turned up among the collectors.

The only live version I've heard was Buckingham Nicks.

I've wondered about that too... I think it could've been a good song live. :/

Especially on the last two tours with just the two of them. It would have made perfect sense to do it.

Yes. In regards to the SYW tour- why they couldn't have replaced their mawkish, maudlin Make-It-Stop rendition of "Say Goodbye" with an effervescent acoustic duet of "I Don't Want To Know"... I'll never know.

Yes. In regards to the SYW tour- why they couldn't have replaced their slow, boring, mawkish, maudlin Dear-God-Make-It-Stop! rendition of "Say Goodbye" with an effervescent acoustic duet of "I Don't Want To Know"... I'll never know.
