Great songs and artists who virtually own them?

Ballan,

I like your list, but was wondering about the "Live '97" reference on Big Love. It's one of my absolute favorite songs/guitar performances, but I'm not sure that I know this vesion. Album?

TIA,

Marty

@Martykl: This version of "Big Love" is on the "Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac" collection from 2003. Here is a Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Very_Best_of_Fleetwood_Mac

I also think this version is on a live concert DVD and I've seen a few YouTube videos of the performance. My son has tried to learn how to play it on guitar, but it's too hard. Buckingham OWNS that song.

There is also a version of "Go Insane" from the same collection that is amazing.

Thanks for the reference, I'll check it out.
BTW, I wish anyone who tries to play this song the very best of luck. I could never master the rhythm line (much less both parts) so I gave up a loooong time ago.

PS The version on the 2006 Live at Bass Hall cd/dvd is also a stunner.

Nina Simone - "Just like Tom Thumb's Blues" If anyone hasn't heard this one, trust me...

Ballan, I too love Jeff Buckly's "Hallelujah", but can't agree that he wrestled it away from Leonard Cohen.
