I can kinda see where they are coming from- it's such a laid back chill song that it would create a little bit of a lull...

I think with the right arrangement "Over My Head" would have worked. It was too laid back on The Dance video but I never found it to be dull on the early years versions I've heard (including the live 1980 album version which I believe was from a 1977 concert). Hell, the way they arranged "Rhiannon" for The Dance was laid back and essentially created a lull. Seriously, at least for the CD, they should have dropped "Rhiannon" for her stellar performance of "Gold Dust Woman" that night (I believe there was talk of swapping "Gypsy" for "Rhiannon" which I think would have been a mistake).

While the idea of one of them doing "Songbird" makes me physically ill, there are some songs that I could see Stevie or Lindsey doing some justice to. I agree, "Oh Daddy" seems like such a logical choice for Stevie as well as a song that would go over well. Being that it's off Rumours, it's obviously well known (despite not being a hit single) to the audience. Plus, I think Stevie's voice would do well on it, while not doing a massacre as she would on some of Chris' other tunes. For Lindsey, I think it's even easier due to the number of collaborations Lindsey and Chris had over the years. "World Turning" and "Don't Stop" are obvious candidates (blah on both of them by the way), but I would love to see Lindsey take on "Hold Me", "Little Lies", or "Isn't it Midnight." As I am typing this, I'm trying to come up with a tune from Tusk I'd like to hear them do and I'm thinking that Stevie might do a good version of "Brown Eyes."
