I think this topic was discussed years back but I can't remember for sure. Did anyone here actually attend the Burbank taping of "The Dance" back in 1997? What I wouldn't give to have been there! Describe your memories of it.

If only! I would die to go back in time and see the Dance live!

Alas - it wasn't for lack of trying. I got on the WB lot, but security was uber tight, and I didn't want to cause a scene and get tossed out on my keister.

Kind of odd actually, I've never spoken to anyone who has been to this concert...surely someone is out there??

Well when you see the audience in the dance video absolutely no one seems to be enjoying themselves the way one of us would. I assume that you had to "know someone" which explains why there aren't any big fans in the audience. Because, is it just me, or do they not seem too excited? :angel:

yeah it seems like all the real fans, if there were any, are in the back rows. The one chick who gets on my nerves is the woman who bobs her head back and forth during the beginning of Tusk. You can see her hair swaying back and forth. It shows her several times in the video. I want to smack her. Then there's the blonde headed dufus dancing between two chicks during Dont Stop. Dweeb.

I didn't even know the damn thing was occurring at the time.

I didn't even know who or what a Fleetwood Mac was! :laugh:

But man, I would kill to have seen that performance. Especially Silver Springs, just to experience that, wow.

I didn't attend the taping but one of my friends did- and believe me he so deserved to be there since he is as big a fan as I am :-) He can be seen several times in the audience and he is the first one going "woooh!" when The Chain starts! :laugh:

From what I understood it was mainly "industry" that was there at the taping...

I remember there being two or three members of the USC marching band at the time who posted over on the AMFM newsgroup.

Time for some anger-management sessions? ;)

I remember a ledgie back those days he posted he was there. Or maybe a ledgie told about somebody.. but the description included that they ask him not to scream or jump since it was going to be taped (for sound fidelity).

And I recall he said that he couldn't remember that scream from the audience during Chris saying "from the Tango in the Night album... called Everywhere". It looked as if it was included later during the remastering.

This is off topic, but I just had to say that your avatar is officially my favorite ever. Carry on.

Is Courtney Love in the audience? Not that she's a Ledgie, but it looks like her in a few shots, back when she was more "cleaned up."

Yeah..Courtney Love is there...the pan to her after or before GDW or something..I haven't watched it in a while lol...

Anyway, I wasn't there :(

Yep, that's Courtney Love next to Edward Norton, her boyfriend at the time. What was HE smoking?

I love that version of GDW too, it's one of my faves...that's my 2nd fave live Stevie song, after SOTM.

I love the guy who shakes the conducter's hand after Don't Stop. It's too funny! :laugh: :lol:

:lol: The conductor barely acknowledged him. That part always cracks me up.

Wasn't Mike B. the Ledgie who was there? I thought that was him, the lone guy in the crowd, standing, about 10-15 rows back, wearing glasses.

But while we're on the subject, I've always wondered if anyone from the boards is visible in the Bella Donna concert video, Red Rocks, Tango, etc. Especially the really notable folks - like the guy in the Red Rocks video who blows a kiss at the end - he always cracks me up! :lol:

Maybe because he's wearing suspenders??? :laugh:

I never realized that Courtney Love was in there...I mean I've only watched it about a million times. At least part of it once a week since I got it.

AGREED!!! :thumbsup: That is my absolute favorite, kick-ass performance by Stevie ever, ever, ever! I still freak out whenever I see that version of "Gold Dust Woman".

THE BEST!

Haha, thanks. I didn't think anyone would notice what it was, I made it myself. I thought it was too small for anyone to notice it was "Gold Dust Woman" from The Dance concert, good eyes! It is my favorite live performance of that song, like you said, it just kicks ass.
