I LOVE her vocals here. I really wish this was brought back! The audience went nuts for it!

Thanks PriestofNothing!

Its crazy that this and "Destiny Rules" were dropped, and "Say You Will" kept on

^^ o.k. yes... I agree.

I hear it and the crowd going wild. maybe we hear that, but what we can't see, is everyone getting up to go to the restroom??

IDK, but I really love this song.

Oh well - I couldn't care less if the crowd doesn't enjoy it. I would have enjoyed it

This should have never been dropped. It had the most potential out of all the new songs on that tour. It seemed to be the most polished on opening night.

Thanks so much for posting this! It was great to see such a rare, one-time performance (Or did she perform it once more?). And it seemed to be well received by the audience. I love the song too. Could it have been cut from the show because the set was too long for them? I wouldn't have been troubled if she dropped one of her well-known songs that she's performed a million times over for the past 25 years and released on a half-dozen times on various compilations.

For me it would be embarassing as a songwriter if all I did was perform the same handful of songs written decades ago...just to placate the casual fan. Talk about stagnation! Play for your real fans Fleetwood Mac!!! Let the casual fans who only know the hits take a pee break if they can't deal with songs they don't know. The best, most enjoyable concerts are the ones that are inspired, with something unexpected, and not just a juke box review of the same old familiar songs.

Each tour is an opportunity for them to redefine themselves, yet they are stuck in the mud, just regurgitating the same thing over and over, like a tightly choerographed Vegas show, with little room for the "spontaneity" that Lindsey so often espouses. I almost wish they never had any chart hits -- it would relieve them of their perceptions of what songs they fell they have to always include in their sets.

Lindsey's ego needed two very long guitar solos.........

Her feet are cemented to the ground - possibly due to hip trouble she allegedly was having. So, the song has little energy. But, she does sound good on it.

This song is my fave from SYW. I remember when we were getting ready to see them the first time, I was like, GOSH I HOPE THEY DO THIS SONG, little did I know that they had done it a couple of nights and had it dropped...... Such a good one.

I thought he meant he hasn't seen her solo.

I love this song too. and I like the new life it got on SYW.

I can only speculate as to why it was dropped, but this song is hard to sing, even for me. getting ready to do it in Boston I was like "why the hell did I pick this?" it's kinda all in a similar note so that when you go for some of the killer notes your voice is like, wtf...we were relaxing.

it's a challenge, but I wish they would've stuck with it anyway cause it's killer. I know the Boston folks were shocked and pleased when I did it.

when that drum kicks in...sigh. awesome.
