Maybe it wasn't such a grand spectacle that's described in Mick's book, but it doesn't seem that far from the truth.

Thanks for backing me up Joe!! I kind of got the feeling that it was dumb of me to even think such a thing.

At the same time, that song can be so easy to play and so structured that it doesn't seem that farfetched to digress a bit. I just wonder what stevie was thinking then. Can you just see her standing there clueless with the spotlight on her while waiting for Lindsey to come back to earth? Most likely, she probably covered nicely.

There's another "Landslide" where Lindsey changes his part and I thought it sounded really beautiful. It's towards the end. It's on one of the Rumours soundboards. I'm thinking Little Rock.

Yeah, I definitely agree. I think Lindsey was totally out of it. I will have to listen to that Little Rock Landslide show again. Also, I think that Sara from the Sydney 3/17 show is probably the most beautiful live version I have ever heard. It's really great.
