Your favorite version of The Chain?

[mylittledemon]

Hey guys...I was listening to "The Chain" from the Dance album and I think I've come to the conclusion that its my favorite version of the song. It's my favorite rock and roll song ever, but WHICH version is the tough question. I also really like the Mirage version, and the Tusk documentary version aside from the Rumours album original.

So what's YOUR favorite?

Miage Tour version.

Mirage Tour is explosive.

Stevie scares me in this but I love it!

The Mirage video version is the greatest version EVER, IMO. It's so full of energy and power.

I love the bounce in the verses and Stevie's voice in the chorus.

I like the Tusk version, myself. I like how it starts off slow and then builds to that guitar solo.

I do love it live, especially Mirage tour, BUT it's when I hear it on Rumours that it gives me the chills. Something about the guitar and the high harmonies, so great!

I still don't have and have never seen the Mirage video so I can't base my opinion on that, but I like the album version... its a little more mysterious than the others Christine's little "Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill hear you sayin" during the chorus gets me all the time.

Mirage video. It's so over the top and the looks that Lindsey and Stevie give each toher while they're yelling the song send chills.

Nothing like trying to skew the results up front.

The term "hideous Time era" is uncalled for in a poll situation. Sure, if that's how you feel, fine, no problem; then put it in your reply, but to use it in a poll point description is damned wrong.


I would think that even if that era of "The Chain" WASN'T my favorite, which it is.

People talk about how good the Mirage version of the The Chain is, but I've only heard poor quality version of it so i'm going to go with The Dance version. Does anyone know where I could get a better quality version?

I think you have to see it really. If you think of the way Stevie and Lindsey look at each other during Silver Springs on The Dance, and then multiply it by about 10, you'll get an idea of the screaming and shouting and looks they do at each other on the Mirage Video.

Some of the latter Tusk performances sound like they have this sort of energy though.

Mirage Tour version!

Not a poll option but...

I gotta go with the Mirage. That was the first live version I had ever seen or heard of the song and I was just blown away. It seems so raw and untamed...very intense.
