fleetwood mac the dance | Year: 1997 Classification: Music Video - Pop/Rock Directed: - Bruce Gowers Still One of the Best You'll Ever Hear Fleetwood Mac sounds even better than they did in the 70's. I don't think I've ever heard a live performance sound quite this good before. All of the members, with the exception of Christine McVie, have lost a little of the high end in their voices, but it dosen't really affect the performances. Many of the classic hits are done here, and some of them, Christine McVie's great oldie, "Say You Love Me" for example, are done in an unplugged version. This effort even brought her out from behind her keyboards to sing, and play the tamborine. Lindsey Buckingham, is one of the most underated guitarist of all time. His playing on "Big Love", and "Go Insane" is incrediable. Stevie Nicks can still sing with the best of them. She finally gets to make a hit out the never-released-on-an-album song "Silver Springs". All of the singing members of the group bring new songs to the stage as well. McVie's "Temporary One", and Buckinham's "Bleed to Love Her", are the best. If you want the full performance, you'll have to buy the DVD, or VHS, of the concert. The CD release cuts out a large number of great old songs, like the closing classic, "Songbird", to be worth the purchase. All in all, Fleetwood Mac, shows that, like the Eagles reunion, some groups really do get better with age. An Instant Classic!!!! Im a 19 year-old college student and I saw "The Dance" for first time in April on PBS and became an instant fan that night. I went right out and bought "Tango in the Night" and "Rumours". I never enjoyed classic rock until I watched this concert. The DVD's sound quality and the performance are nearly flawless. My picks of the night included "Everywhere", "Gypsy", "Go Insane" and "You Make Loving Fun". Stevie's vocals on "Gold Dust Woman" and "Silver Springs" are intense and give me chills every time I hear them. Lyndsay's guitar work is spectacular (his solo on "Gypsy" is perfect) and Mick and John's driving pulse equally infectious. Christine is still my favorite and even though her stage presence is somewhat lacking, she is a briliant song-writer and musician whose voice is is in top form, "Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii". The new material was outstanding, with the exception of "My Little Demon" (I just don't get it!). "Sweet Girl" and "Temporary One" could have been on any of the classic albums. I only wish that there had been room for a few more songs. Why wasn't "Sara" in the set list. My personal requests would have been to ditch "Demon" and "I'm so Afraid" in favor of "Monday Morning" and "Second Hand News". It would be nice if Christine would have done "Little Lies" and "Hold Me" and Stevie could have added in "Sara" and "Seven Wonders". Even though their "classic" material is mostly associated with the seventies, it would have been nice to see their 80's pop gems get their due. This DVD showcases the band in top form; expert performers finely tuned in their craft. The piano in "Rhiannon" and the banjo on "Say You Love Me" were perfect touches for the night. Stevie's expressions during "Landslide" timeless, "I'm getting older, too....." makes you realize that they are all in their fifties now. John and Mick prove once again that that they are perhaps the premier bass line of the past quarter-century. I suggest getting "The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac" and giving "Say You Will" a shot. Some of the material is pretty good (listen to "Steal Your Heart Away"). That being said, this DVD is a treasure you need to buy and share. Thank you Stevie, Thank You Lindsey!! Like my title refers to a moment of the concert, after Nicks sang Landslide, i believe they were so emotionals like fans of this extraordinary band like me when we see this concert.
