i was hoping someone might help you out from several people who actually really know how to analyze music around here (David comes to mind but i guess he's not around much anymore).

i'd say The Chain or maybe Tusk songs might be your best ones to analyze (Tusk is very interesting and and kinda off-song - lets talk about Tusk! ). maybe Chain especially, since you now really have the whole anatomy of the song with those early cuts just released on Rumours deluxe?

well, my theory was to go with opening night tix $60+ and possibly a trip to NOLA at around $500+, so no, it never crossed my mind to buy a $90+ recording of what I have already bought 4x over. Although I would love the live CD, I think I already have what I need on CD to analyze the work, I hope...

why would you need to buy $90 recording?

both live CD as well as demos/outtakes CD are a part of the $15 3CD set.

(btw i completely agree with you, although i didn't even own Rumours before, i would never even dream of paying >$70 for a vinyl (i don't even have a record player where i live) and a Rosebud DVD. but 3CDs for $15 i though was a pretty good deal.)

also, i believe you can listen to both live and demos/outtakes CD on spotify, but not completely sure.

Thx for the help, elle. You are right, I can get the 3CD fairly cheap on Amazon. $15 isn't bad for the live CD w/ extras.

I read that there is a vocal demo of Keep Me There and a duet of NGBA. Is this really much different than the 2004 reissue, anyone?

I thought so.

There's a vocal demo of Keep Me There, Stevie's version of 'The Chain' before it became The Chain, a duet of NGBA (actually, I think Christine sings on this too..) that also features more/different instrumentation, a duet version of Doesn't Anything Last, a GYOW demo, a Lindsey solo version of IDWTK, a NEW piano demo of POTU (although I think the one we already had was better musically, although not as good of quality sonically), an instrumental version of Songbird, and a few other things that I think I'm missing...

Overall I enjoyed it and thought it was worth getting.

Like Elle said, you can listen to it on Spotify to see if you are interested enough in what is there to buy it.

Thx for the clarification, I just went out and bought it and have only listened to 1/2 of it.
