I think it's their signature song. It sums up the band's inter-relationships, dysfunction and cocaine usage perfectly. Just about everyone knows the studio version. Let's take a journey through some live versions. Live at some major festival, 2015. I dislike this one the most. Stevie's voice is going, but that's the least of my complaints. At this point the band is doing this for cash, and it shows. Lindsey Buckingham is a smarmy douche his awful personality just radiates out from him. Also, this live take manages to completely remove the balls from the song's famous bassline. Live, 1982. Only plays in the left channel. Stevie (and the rest of the band) are coked to the GILLS. Her voice is in tatters, the rest of the band is sloppy. This rendition is terrible, but somehow authentic. It really conveys the state of the band in 1982. Live 1977. Now this is magic. Steve's performance here is actually BETTER than the studio version. At 2:19 she hits the high note so beautifully that it actually causes Lindsey to look over at her for a second. It's goosebumps inducing. I can only imagine what it was like to be there at that show. Oh, and this is a peek in my virtual record bag: Quote
