They sort of already did this, or at least PLANNED to do this. "The Dance" was supposed to be an Unplugged album. When MTV approached them they wanted the Mac to do an Unplugged album in the same vein as the Eagles' "Hell Freezes Over" (which is why they used the same producer). MTV gave them a list of songs they wanted them to do on the show and the Mac went about with coming up with arrangements for the songs. Some of the songs were used as arranged for the unplugged set "Say You Love Me", "Go Insane" etc. I believe "Silver Springs" was also arranged accoustically. But FM went back to MTV and said they would rather just do a live album instead.
