This happens all the time with different bands. In 1981 Stevie had too many good songs for just one album. It was hard to pick. Those days only 10 songs could fit on vinyl. She obviously loved the song to do it live and give it life. I love the song live but I am not sure what song I would remove from Bella Donna except maybe the Highwayman.
In 1984 Christine McVie did the same thing. She recorded a rocker for her solo album that did not fit on the album but included it on her solo tour. The song was "Too much is not enough." Its a great song and a rocker. She performed it on MTV too.
I think some songs make better live cuts than studio songs. This is why they include them in live sets.
I would love to know why Running through the Garden was not included on Rock A Little.
