Hi all.

I've been listening to Tango these past two days non stop...First time in years.

Anyway, I remember now how much I love Isn't it Midnight. I was wondering--and I don't want to be too pushy--if anyone has any live MP3s of it? The one from the Tango tour is good; and I'd love to have one from the Dance.

I'd be much obliged.

Here's "Isn't It Midnight" from Fresno on the Tango tour. They never did this song on the Dance tour.

They should have. They should have dumped that crap ass version of SYLM and thrown Little Lies in there. Im sorry, Christines song from the Dance Tour were totally half-assed, except Everywhere. Even You Make Loving Fun was shortened. Why did they pick 'Over My head' for the DVD, that one is such a snooze. They had so many other choices (not counting the pre SNL stuff) - Hold Me, Love in Store, Little Lies, Isn't it Midnight, Save Me, Skies the Limit...grrrrr.

I agree about putting in songs of hers from either Mirage or Tango - and NOT Everywhere. I really never cared for that cheesy doctor's office song of hers! Seriously. Especially live. However, I'm glad they did OMH at least for the video but they could've funked it up a bit like they used to. I don't think YMLF was shortened. I think it's the same as the record but us fans are so used to the live versions containing that extra 2nd verse ("don't break the spell...") and accompanying extended bridge.

I've been listening to Mirage lately and thought that Love in Store would've been great to hear on the Dance as well as Little Lies or Isn't it Midnight.

Oh well...

I really like Everywhere live. Im glad they did it.

As for YMLF, I like in the old days (even with Rick and Billy) they switched it up and has that little instrumental part in the middle.

SO what did she do....

Everywhere
Temporary One
Say You Love Me (sorry, I need those keyboards)
You Make Loving Fun
Over My Head
Dont Stop

I always thought so, too. They could have rock that up a bit like they did on the Mirage tour and it would have made a great show piece. I didn't understand why the band chose to strip back the arrrangement on OVM when they'd been doing high energy versions of it for years. It was as if they were trying to copy the album version.

The live version of Isn't It Midnight has always seemed much better compared to the studio version. The lack of Stevie on the Tango version is quite obvious when listening to the live one. Plus live seems to rock out a bit more. :)

That is true, she brings so much more to it. Though Christine's voice on the live versions I've heard has always sound a little strained, a bit less clear than on the studio version. So I'm not sure which I prefer...

I agree with you about Say You Love Me, although I don't dislike the Dance version. I always want Christine keyboards, always. But, I LOVE the Dance tour version of Oh Daddy. That was my favorite live version of that song ever! On the tour, I think they should have got ridden of the two Buckingham/Nicks solo songs(Go Insane & Stand Back) & added a few Christine songs like Brown Eyes or Hold Me or Little Lies.

as much as i love her i have to agree that Chris's songs on the Dance were pretty weak. it was definitely Buckingham Nicks version II. her songs were there to simply make the reunion complete. but it was clear that she had no interest in doing anything new or interesting. definitely phoned-in performances. the trade off was that everyone got to hear how great Stevie's voice had become and lindsey's "big love" was a new thing for most people (those of us who hadn't gone to his Out of the Cradle Shows)

Wow, I couldn't disagree more. While she wasn't breaking any new ground with the song selection, all of her songs were well performed and impeccably arranged. I think the banjo-version of SYLM worked quite well--a charming interlude. And YMLF rocked the house. Her voice was flawless in that context and I didn't see her as phoning things in.

I think sometimes Fleetwood Mac were inclined to put the songwriters in their specific boxes:

Lindsey could do the harder, edgier stuff, Stevie had the mystical songs and Christine did the pop ballads.

all of them are perfectly capable of getting out of those boxes - Isn't it Midnight shows that Christine can rock.

Say you Will shows that Stevie can do a pop song and Say Goodbye showed that Lindsey does have a gentler side.

NO doubt if they tour again without a new album they'll revert to type.

I thought that Chris' dance songs all sucked execpt YMLF and her new song.
SYLM was horrific. They should have dont IIM on the dance tour, along with Hold Me [im still wondering why they didnt do that one...hell it did better than gypsy on the charts :rolleyes: ] I liked the OMH from the Live CD, this one as said, was just missing something. Everywhere sounded wierd with Stevie in it...

I like the IIM from Tango ALOT better than from the Tango DVD [I saw it on youtube], I do like the addition of Stevies vocal to it, but just the arrangement was crappy!

I've got Hold Me live from 1982 and 1990 - and I don't much care for the Live versions.

Mick stated somewhere (in his book?) that Chris wrote it for/about Dennis Wilson....anybody got a "yea" or a "nay" on Mick's comment?

(Or was that the little voice in Mick's head talking for him....?)

No way - the Mac only did Hold Me on the Mirage Tour. I don't get it either, it's a great song and was a major hit. Would have loved to have seen them do it during The Dance or Lindsey doing it solo on the SYW Tour. I think I would have rather had them do Hold Me instead of Don't Stop.

They did it on the Mirage and the Tango tours. In my opinion anyway, I always thought it was one of the few songs that were more enjoyable on the Rick/Billy tours than they were with the previous Lindsey tours.

True, some GREAT Christine songs on the Tango and BTM tours....Everywhere, Isn't it Midnight, Little Lies, Brown Eyes...but then there are those songs that, while Billy and Rick get credit for doing a good job, I just could never warm up to their versions...in particular, the "big guns," The Chain and Go Your Own Way. Both of these songs seemed to just lose all of their punch. As a matter of fact, The Chain has never been the same since then, even with Lindsey in '97 and '03-'04. Both songs were so emotional on the Mirage Tour and then were so blah after that. Go Your Own Way seemed to have come back to life but The Chain has, in my opinion, remained subpar ever since.

I completely agree. The Mirage tour was in credible for The Chain and GYOW. The Chain I think has lost its punch because there really isn't that tention anymore, so really the song is just "lyrics that speak the emotion of another time." I loved GYOW on the Mirage tour because Stevie really stole the show by wailing the end "AHHHHHH YOU CAN CALL IT UNDER, THE LONELY, AH THE LONELY, THE LONELY DAYYYYYYYYY..."

Mirage GYOW was perfection, raw emotion - Lindsey's awesome "BABY I'd GIVE YOU MY WORLD" and "OPEN UP", Stevie's Woah's and ahh's, and Christine's subtle lyrical foundation in the background were just incredible together. I always hated the way Billy sang that song. Rick's playing was technically fine, but I found the last solo in particular to be uninspired and boring. It was too anthem-like...which is fine for some bands and some songs, but not an emotionally charged song like GYOW.

I respect Rick a lot. He's a decent guitarist and unfortunetly didn't really go anywhere in his career. However, I think Billy sucks miserably. I don't believe they should've performed any Lindsey song, just like I don't believe Stevie should sing Landslide unless she's has a strong connection with whoever's playing the guitar.

That'd be my guess, because it wasn't done. :D He/she probably just got it mixed up with another song, although I couldn't guess which one.


Those of you who've mentioned Brown Eyes - I couldn't agree more. I know The Dance was more of a hits-based (OK, Rumours-based) tour, but they threw Farmer's Daughter in for God's sake! And yeah, I could have done without Stand Back & Go Insane myself - more Mac would have been better. Not that I dislike The Dance, I still think it's fantastic. But we are Mac fans, and we like to bitch. :laugh: So I would have put Brown Eyes & Little Lies in place of Everywhere and Farmer's Daughter. Give me Seven Wonders instead of Stand Back while you're at it. And hey, Linds? Dump Go Insane for a kickass rocking version of Tango in the Night. Please & thanks.

The Chain? Mirage tour all the way. So much raw emotion. God, I love those versions. Actually, I would say I love my Mirage tour boots best - the setlist, the vocals, the last tour without a 50 piece band backing them up....awesome. :nod:

I can see what they (and you!) didn't see in the Mirage Tour versions of Hold Me, it does lack substance - especially in comparison to the great studio version. I would think that in the more recent years with the entourage on stage with them to help fill in the sound, they could have pulled off Hold Me.

Gypsy was not so hot on the Mirage Tour either but it was resurrected many times since.

LOL you are so right - I did imply that but didn't really mean to do so. Although there are some decent versions, Gypsy is a song that just can't be replicated on stage.

That being said, I do disagree sort of, just about any song can be played live - it's up to the musician(s) to arrange it so it works. If done well(at least in rock and roll), live versions shouldn't replicate their studio counterparts anyway.

I'm still disappointed that they couldn't at least give some life to Hold Me. It really is an incredible song, one of my favorites, and one of Christine's best. Much better than the overplayed and semi-dull You Make Loving Fun.

He might have a point if JMN3 is talking about the Dance version. Just compare these two:

1977:

I wouldn't call the album version overplayed, since it's the only single from Rumours that isn't played on the radio so often I start wondering if someone in the band just died recently.

I meant overplayed in the sense of overplayed in concert. And the 1997 version of YMLF was indeed, very boring, esp. compared to the earlier tours.

Am I the only one who liked the live version of Hold Me on the Mirage tour? Yeah, it's a little raw, but in a rock and roll way. The studio version is pretty and lightweight. The live version had some muscle, courtesy of Lindsey's guitar at the end of the song. When I saw a Mirage show, I was wondering how it would sound. It held up nicely. But instead of singing "Hold me...hold meeee" they modified it to "Hold me...hold me, yeah!"

Yeah, it's a little raw, but in a rock and roll way. The studio version is pretty and lightweight. To me, it was pretty & heavyweight. Any song that's so amazingly orchestrated is no lightweight effort -- it's serious creative achievement.

I also love the You Make Loving Fun from The Dance. I don't think it's boring at all -- well, except for the backup singers on the chorus. Their approach doesn't fit the band. They belong on someone else's stage.

They never resurrected Love in Store, either. And to the best of my knowledge they never did Think About Me live, did they?

Yes, they did. It was late during the Tusk tour just after they released it as a single. I'll post it later today, unless someone else does first.

Yeah. Micks drumming was awesome back then in general. He really drove well on coke and alcohol. Musically speaking. :laugh:

His drumming on the Tusk-album is the most original varied and experimental poprockdrumming I've ever heard. He took that with him on stage. Fenomenal.

Thanks, MacFan! This is a fun performance. I love the keyboards and guitar, here. The arrangment sounds a bit like their live version of Angel.
