That version of BE is 100% perfect in all its plush glory.I am very glad they gave us both versions to enjoy. The reason everyone is saying this new one should have made the cut is because it is beautiful and we have all missed Christine so greatly. But when the newness wears off I'm sure most will remember the original version as the definitive version.

Viv, you amaze me with such an articulated statement. The points you made were just sloshing around in my mind with no context. Let it BE two equally excellent renditions of the song! Puzzling are the choices they sometimes make, but that is part of their artistic process, not ours. Let's celebrate that alternates such as this exist and they are sharing them with us.

I'm really digging the live complication that reconstructs a set list from select performances from several locations. It makes me wish they did that with the Rumours deluxe. With that stingy issue we only got 12 songs.
