No offense to Lindsey, but nobody sings this song like Bob Welch! Bob's version is magical and hypnotic in itself!

[@dontirkkirk4534]

His heart’s clearly not in it

[@stevegant7286]

@Glenn Yates Maybe, but nobody sings "THIS" song better than Bob Welch because he's the original singer! Originality is very important not to mention the emotion Bob sings with.

[@cbrue1896]

This was Bob's big tune for Fleetwood Mac, so its understandable that Lyndsey's singing of the tune isn't up to how Bob sang it, BUT that kick-ass guitar solo that Lyndsey lies down is awesome! Christine McVie's Hammond playing is almost call and response with Lyndsey's guitar solo. Also, you can't beat the powerhouse of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. By this time in their careers, these two guys have been playing together for about 8 years. Such tight bass and drum playing on this track. Thanks for posting this one!

I wasn't a big Bob Welch fan. But this is one of his songs that I always loved. In his absence... I think Christine should have done the lead vocal on this one... staying with that smooth vocal tone of Welch's original version.

[@Doggeslife]

amazing to see them so early in the stage of developing the new Fleetwood Mac. Obviously Lindsey hasn't got the song down vocals-wise, but I loved the guitar he slipped in there. Thanks for sharing. Remember to keep this in perspective.....This is in the days when people would reply "Stevie who?"

This is from the '75 tour promoting their first album with Buckingham and Nicks, the one that spawned Rhiannon and Over My Head.
