Even at its lowest point, I doubt either would have seriously wanted to be in the band without the other. Whatever moments that ever came up like that were, at most, fleeting.

It was so telling that when they announced his cancer, she was right there on tour with them in 2013. Makes me weep, too.

Oh, of course was it worth! We saw our "favourite" lineup together again, and heard great versions of the classics from that lineup. Some of them, maybe paired or better than the originals (Dreams, Bleed To Love Her, Gypsy, YMLF, Silver Springs...)
It opened the door to the chance to "refresh" FM's history, as it was stagnant in that band with changing members and less success. Was a necessary move to show that the band was not a dinosaur's band, or maybe to show that those dinosaurs were still rocking! Without The Dance, we would probably saw the solo careers still going, but not a new chapter of the band, and probably Say You Will would never existed. I see less possible a reunion in 2014 if 1997 didn't exist, I mean, with a big hiatus between 1995 and 2014, probably the band could lose the interest on a reunion |

The Dance created an entire new generation of fans at the time...myself included

Yea, it was pretty important for them. It revitalized the entire organization. Goats included.

There are many reasons to neg on The Dance and the large spans of group inactivity that followed, but the 1997 reconvening accomplished many things:
1--It provided a platform for Stevie Nick's second act. She earned her space front and center, looked and sounded great, and essentially introduced FM to a whole new generation of listeners. Key tracks: "Gold Dust Woman"; "Silver Springs" 2--For many, it promoted Lindsey as one fine, original guitar player. We fans did not need a reminder of this, but the general public did. Key tracks: "Big Love"; "My Little Demon" 3--It allowed Christine a graceful exit. She looked and sounded great on tour. And "Temporary One"--regardless of what some think about it--fit in perfectly with new music at the time. Key tracks: YMLF and "Temporary One." And on "Songbird," she sounds magnificent. 4. It allowed Mick and Lindsey to re-forge their bond. Those two are very much connected--the brain and the heart of the band. |

There was so much waiting involved between '98-'03. Waiting for TISL to actually get released was like watching paint dry. There would be whispers of one time frame for release and then it would get pushed back, again and again.
Waiting to see what would become of Fleetwood Mac after The Dance was a big waiting game, followed by another waiting game as they finished Say You Will. The single best nugget to come out of that period of waiting is hands down the acoustic performance of Gypsy at the Arizona Heart Institute. I'll argue that is perhaps the best Buckingham Nicks performance/collaboration since '82. Actually, now that I think about it....when they recorded Without You for the EP, they should have done a studio version of that acoustic arrangement of Gypsy. It would have balanced things out and given Without You a sister track.

I still maintain Gift Of Screws should have been released as Buckingham Fleetwood McVie no later than 1999. An offshoot would have been the best way to go if the question was should this be solo or Fleetwood Mac. Then he could have started completely fresh for the Fleetwood Mac album.

At this point I really only want two more things before I kak it: 1) A remastered version of The Dance (have ya'll seen the HD vids from Warners on youTube?) and 2) for Buckingham Nicks to finally get a decent release CD/vinyl release.
