Yeah, I think so. It was after the Grammy medley as I recall.

The chemstry between them is palpable in this performance. I will always believe they hooked up again during The Dance. Six weeks in a foreign country indeed :cool:

I agree.

Thanks for posting Neil - I've always wanted to see this, can't believe I missed it at the time.

Ah, but you know, Stevie can speak English. :laugh:

but, somehow she knew -- then again, maybe she boinked the German bellhop and made that escapade into a poem :cool:

Bellhop, waiter, pot-ay-toe, pot-ah-toe. I'd agree if they had been in Germany for 6 weeks. ;)

She meant they no longer spoke the language of love but knew they could relearn it:)

I was just messin' with y'all.

That verse is not to be taken as literal as some people do, but I'm also not sure if I completely agree with your interpretation.

Oh I'm just messing too Vanessa. I don't take it literally either:wavey:

I'm not so sure about that. I believe the Grammy medley came after the Brit Awards, although I don't have the exact dates. They made an appearance on German TV around the time of the Brit Awards. The host of that TV show wished them well at the Grammys. I'm pretty sure that the Grammys was the last Christine performance with Fleetwood Mac.

Thank you so much, Neil for posting this video.:thumbsup:

Wow that was great. The GYOW was really tight.

As far as my timeline recalls, these were the movements in early '98 before Christine retired for good

That's perfect, Neil. Thank you.:)

Very forensic, Neil. Thanks!

It's weird, because I assumed Christine stayed behind in the UK after the Brits. In fact, I am sure I read somewhere in one of her 2004 interviews that Chris thought it was her last performance. Then again, her memory of the timeline seems to be pretty hazy, as she kept on talking about Clinton's inauguration in the same breath as The Dance.

-- here we go:

"The last proper gig we did was in Atlantic City in November, 1997, but then we played at The Brits in 1998 when we got that Lifetime Achievement Award. The sound-check the night before sounded rubbish, but we pulled it off on the night. We’d already said our goodbyes on tour, so we all whizzed off in difference directions almost straight after the show"
