This isn't a reissue of a studio album, it's a reissue of live material. Studio albums contain classic recordings of the songs that people always hear on the radio or are most familiar with. Fireflies was already rereleased in 2018 on 50 Years Don't Stop, not sure if One More Night was on it.

So if you're going to release live recordings of old songs, why not release live recordings of this new lineup which Christine has said was the most fun tour or easiest going tour ever, rather than live recordings of the band with someone who is not a member now? That's what I ask to FM and management.

Live was was a Top 20 album and the only release from the Rumours lineup to not have a deluxe reissue. A 40 year old legacy live album being reissued has nothing to do with the new lineup. Like, they’re not reissuing this over/instead of the 18-19 tour. This reissue wasn’t something driven by the band.

I guess they're legally obligated to promote it on their social then.
What was on The Dance deluxe reissue? I dont have that one

Top 20 is not impressive BATMN

He told me that LIVE was the only release by Rumours lineup not to have a deluxe reissue. I don't have a Dance reissue... I want it!

Very well played, Grasshopper... very well played!

^On a Dance reissue, I'd like to hear Eyes of the World, Stand Back, and Sara from the Dance.. or was Sara on BTM Tour?

Oops. Forgot about that, probably because I only think of that as a scripted made for TV special, void of any genuinely organic moments. And, it was mostly rerecorded in the studio afterward.

To me Dance, is the legacy live album. Definitely more well known too.

Honestly, I was never that crazy about The Dance. I watched the video a thousand times more than I listened to the CD.

Although I LOVED Live 1980. It was much more raw, and of course I was at a different stage of fandom in my life.

I love the new songs on Dance. I hate the CD bc it has Landslide and Dreams which I don't like from that show. But Gold Dust and Gypsy from that show are sexy-time!
Also nice to see poor Lenny in the back there. Mick threw him off the bus for Taku. I'm a Lenny lover. He's amazing to meet in the flesh. Real NYer.

Honestly, I file The Dance CD right beside Behind The Mask. I'll bet it's been ten years since I've listened to either. I watch The Dance DVD a couple times a year.

I NEVER got into the extra players in the FM orchestra too much. I could maybe name you one of $tevie's original backup singers, and that would be it. I'd come closer to naming Lindsey's (or Christine's)solo bands than percussion and backup singers in FM. I always figured those were $tevie's paid yes people, so I didn't have much interest.

Yeah Fleetwood Mac live did not sell all that well. It only managed to go gold back when these bands sold millions with most releases. An easy comparison would be the Eagles double live album released at exactly the same time. It went platinum six times over.

Re: Silver Springs

Life's Been Good isn't an Eagles song.

The Eagles were much better at incorporating their solo songs into their shows than FM.

Joe made Life's Been Good an Eagles show highlight with the hat camera

Don's even played drums on that one in the shows.
