Ironic, that just 6 years earlier, Fleetwood Mac was headliner Dave Mason's opening act at that very same venue. (with the, at the time, ubiquitous opening act for seemingly 1/2 the concerts in the LA area, Little Feat being the third act on the bill)


I think "The Bigger The Love" was left off Time due to the fact that Billy had already recorded it two times on two different solo albums, and, also, with John McVie's "Gotta Band". But, the Fleetwood Mac live version was really different than any other version I'd ever heard, so in that way, it's a shame it didn't get released after all.
