Unplugged???
Okay chaps...I'm looking for some help...
I've just read The Dance was originally intended to be an unplugged recording as part of the MTV unplugged series. I didn't know this. Indeed I believe the band recorded an unplugged session in April of 1997 (a month before The Dance recordings) that included a load of hits/favourites, plus Twisted and a further 3 songs I've never heard of; Where Were You, Forbidden and Shadows of Love*. Can anybody tell me anything about these 'unplugged' recordings? Does anyone know anything about these 3 'unissued' songs? Many thanks *edit: on reflection I'm guessing there's a chance 'Shadows of Love' could be confused with Love is Dangerous Further edit: Sorry- I believe April 97 was unlikely to have been recorded (and probably never a proper unplugged session) but was just a rehearsal session for The Dance. However, I'm still none the wiser about those 3 songs.

Yes, I knew that The Dance should have been an MTV Unplugged episode and it did air as an MTV special in the US but I don't know why it wasn't actually featured in the Unplugged series in the end.
However the session was recorded on the 22nd and 23rd of May. The only source I can find about it is this excerpt of this The Ledge Q&A with FM session musician Brett Tuggle: Quote:

Page 93: REHEARSALS FOR MTV's 'UNPLUGGED' Warner Bros Studios, Burbank, California 18 April 1997 The Chain Dreams Big Love Say You Love Me Second Hand News Where Were You Rhiannon Little Lies Twisted Never Going Back Again Brown Eyes Forbidden Shadows of Love Don't Stop Go Your Own Way Landslide Songbird (all songs 'Unissued') My guess is they started out with the intention of doing a fully unplugged session; hence Big Love as we now know it. However, maybe they just couldn't get it to work and decided to do the show as we now know it. I suppose they cant bill it as 'Fleetwood Mac Unplugged' if it isn't actually unplugged.

I loved the unplugged of Say You Love Me! That was fantastic.

ooh, la, la, la
Adore the unplugged version. Lindsey playing the banjo, killer harmonies, John and Mick bubbling away. Maybe in 2018? |

I wouldn't mind them bringing that version back.
