I really think the Mac version of Farmer's Daughter is an enhancement of the original, which to my inexpert ears at least, is a bit Beach-Boys-by-the numbers; I'm sorry I never got to hear FM play it live. Didn't they put "Thanks, Brian, you're the greatest" in the credits? It's a little gift from BW to dwell upon in the days following his passing.

I love Farmers Daughter and was happy to hear it on the Dance tour. I wish it was included on the album. Great harmonies which is what I have always loved about Fleetwood Mac. Those three voices sounded amazing on that tour.

Using the vocal Christine has live. I would have loved a proper version of One More Night.

A better form or arrangement might help. The vocal is Pristine McVie.

I think Save Me was the right choice for the single...

Unless.... they released Love Shines. I think that would have been epic w/ Stevie in the video. (not published video).

I thought for sure you would have said Second Time should have been the first single.

Second verse!

I love Save Me- it’s high energy, Christine sounds incredible, and Rick’s guitar solo is fantastic. I don’t know that any other song off BTM would have been a better choice for a first single- Skies the Limit was pleasant but lightweight and Love is Dangerous and When the Sun Goes Down were too bluesy for top 40 radio. It was just the way radio airplay was changing, unfortunately.

Couldn't agree more.
