This is my favorite song. It's been immortazlizd on YouTube, so if anyone is going to judge it, it's gonna be me.

Agree. The band has the music sounding very close to the 1982 recorded version. I actually like how she sings it today given her limited range. Even during The Dance days, she strained to get to those notes of yonder and it sounded, well, strained. Same with Silver Springs. But fast forward to 2016, singing the bridge an octave lower from "And if I was from a child" sounds more natural without sacrificing too much emotional depth. Sharon and Marilyn sing the same melody as Stevie on those lines, so it just sounds fuller to my ears. I really enjoy what Al brings to the song, too. He has a very nuanced voice, so when he sings "Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice," it really stands out in a good way.

So * * * 3/4 stars of our 5 for the 2023 Gypsy.

I think this acoustic version with Lindsey from 2000 is the best it's ever sounded on stage. I'd love to see this arrangement make a return.

I loved this. It was such a nice surprise at the time and I would’ve sworn they would do some form of this arrangement with the reformed 4-piece Fleetwood Mac in 2003. Of course, it’s never been done that way again in 23 years.
