Which Angel is your favorite?

[David]

Have you guys heard Angel from other stops on the 1979–80 tour, like Los Angeles or Mobile? The St. Louis performance isn't the only good one. It was a long tour with plenty of great Angel performances.

I've wondered, too, why no performance of it by Fleetwood Mac since 1980. I really have no clue. But the electronic keyboard Chris used onstage (the Yamaha CP30) was such an essential layer in the track — with a sort of squawky jazz-guitar attack — that its absence (she ditched the board after her 1984 solo tour) may account for the band's decision not to resurrect.

Well gosh, now I'll have to research my old CD's and cassette tape bootlegs.

I loved her playing on that song, simple yet self-assured, even jaunty.
