I got THE DANCE!
 

Yesterday I was really bummed cuz one of my friends left for college. My mom knew it...and to try and cheer me up she bought me The Dance DVD

Wow...it definately helped cheer me up. It was sooo good. I loved Silver Springs and Landslide. I loved Bleed To Love Her and all of Lindsey's stuff. Especially I'm So Afraid. Holy crap that was good! Tusk was so awesome too with the marching band. I loved how Lindsey and Stevie sang to each other.

What are your favorite parts of the DVD?

I love the rawness of "Gold Dust Woman" on The Dance.....should have gone on the CD in place of "Sweet Girl"!

My favorite parts are Silver Springs (without a doubt-- it still makes me go crazy) and I looooorve that version of Big Love because it was the first time I had heard that song performed acoustically-- I was completely blown away.

i loved rhiannon...stevies newly composed opening to it..ie the first 1 min....i almost wept wen i heard it "and rhiannon..dont go...rhiannon..stay." the epitome of beauty.

i also love landslide and big love....lindsey was very nice there..coming from a male! lol

and also i loved the opening the chain..i cant wait til december wen im in the 20,000 capacity men arena, man uk :laugh: :nod: :) :D ;) lol

No! I love Sweet Girl, it rocks! They should have put GDW in the place of the God Awful "My Little Demon"! Now that is a bad song... I agree that GDW is great on the Dance though. You can only get this version on an Import CD on Amazon.com

My favotie parts from The Dance would be the new version of "Say You Love me". I love how they are all there singing in the front and everyone is looking at each other.

I also love Silver Springs, of course! It is powerful.

I really love I'm So Afraid and I can't get enough of Stevie's backup vocals on this song. Also, try and hear Stevie's backup vocals on Everywhere. They are incredible once you recognize them.

Songbird is wonderful at the end of the concert. I love it! It is one of my favorites. Also, Temporary One by Christine is amazing.

Hmmm...

The Fluorescent Green Cup!

The "Ooooh La La La's" on SYLM

How you could see all of them on SYLM

Lindsey on Go Insane ;)

"Hi good evening everybody, thanks for coming... Welcome to our little soiree'! I'd like to carry on now with a song from the Tango in the Night album, called, uh... Everywhere!"

The Chain

Songbird

Gold Dust Woman

I'll add more later...

I LOVE The Dance movie! My favorite parts are

Tusk (One of the best versions IMO)

Go Your Own Way (It really rocks!)

Gold Dust Woman (Not only because I love the song anyways, but because of that wail at the end lol!)

Big Love (Better than the album version)

Rhiannon (Tho it's not my favorite version)


For some reason, Silver Springs never did anything for me (go ahead, flame away!) I think I may have to go watch the DVD again for the 100,000,000 time!

The highlight for me is Silver Springs, without a doubt!

Persoannly all of the songs are good in their own little way. I would have liked them to include evverything on the CD. Why didn't they just make a double CD with the set list split in half on the CD'S. The whole concert just rocked and to choose which ones would have had to go is too hard.

PS My fav moment is Silver Springs. It always gets me everytime.

Matt :)

The Dance DVD
 

What a rockin show. I love this DVD. My favorite song is THE CHAIN. I also love I'm So Afraid, Big Love, Silver Springs and Go Your Own Way. Lindsey's guitar work is incredible. I love it. Congratulations on a very wise purchase.

Three words....
 

I'm So Afraid


Nuff said. :nod::thumbsup::D:cool:

Re: Dance Faves
 

"...from our Tango In The Night album..."

And you thought you'd seen it heaps ;)

Silver Springs-- the bow at the microphone in the darkness. Like she's showing us how emotionally drained she is. Lovely.

I love how Stevie speaks with a little bit of a twang on this.

"Silver Springs is a great ol' song, thank yooo."

*blink* Stevie are you SURE you're not from North Carolina? :laugh:

Silver Springs, what can I say? Passionate, Beautiful performance, changed my life, seriously.

"Temporary One" without a doubt is the best moment on it for me. It not only showed Chris making a return to her fun, lighthearted style of songwriting in her prime (1971-74) but lyrically it really seemed to sum up where the band were at the time, at least in the chorus.

I put it on the jukebox at the bar when I was all jacked up the other night, and when it came on they turned the music way down. I got pretty fuggin' pist about that one. So then I payed for 6 more Fleetwood Mac songs in a row, ones that would really annoy drunk barhoppers, like Tusk and Everywhere. :laugh: Morons.

See, I think Temporary One is one of the worst songs on The Dance and one of Christine's worst songs ever. It's *too* poppy for its own good, IMO; after awhile, it really starts to grate on my nerves. I think her best period of songwriting was from 1979-1990, Behind the Mask (the song) being one of her best compositions. I think it's her crowning achievement and it's really dark, something new for Chris. It kinda sounds like something Stevie would've written. But, to make a long story short, I always skip over Temporary One. :laugh:

I like Temporary One too, especially the part with "going down into Soho" It just reminds me of her earlier song-writing (71-74), which I agree, was her prime.

Shamus:)

I like Temporary One.

Argh...you guys won't believe what happened last night. i was watching The Dance again, and suddenly, the middle of I'm So Afraid, RIGHT when the guitar solo started....the sound cut out!

I screwed around with my sound equipment and connections and have come to the conclusion that there is a problem inside the DVD player. I can still get sound...but you have to turn the speakers up to as high as they go and the sound is really quite and it sounds bad. So...today we're gonna probably take it to the place we bought it from. So, again, I am Dance-less :distress:

The Dance was what really brought me back into The Mac. My favorite moments are...

The Chain - I still get goosebumps, from the beginning where they show everyone getting ready to the last licks. Lindsey looks really nervous!

Bleed To Love Her - A real sweet song, I like the intro Lindsey gives.

Big Love - My highlight. This got me into Lindsey,

Go Insane - ^

Blast! Well I like it. TOO poppy? Give me a break, this is Christine McVie we're talking about! I don't think she's been anything BUT too poppy! I bet you like "Everywhere" yet called "Temporary One" too poppy. :laugh:

Temporary one is the best song of all time! Everyone is really joining in on this song and it is a fun song, too. I love the lyrics:

The river goes on and on and the
The Sea that Divides us is a
Temporary one and the bridge will bring us back together

I love it! Maybe my favorite Christine song ever. Plus, you can tell by the audience that they are really into it. For a new song, at least!

I'm not really crazy about Temperary One- it IS a little to "poppy" for me, but I do like the lyrics and overall it is good for Christine.

My favorite moments are:

The Chain- it is SO awesome when you hear the opening riffs and "Fleetwood Mac- The Chain" flashes across the screen and then you see Stevie in that great pose doing that thing with her tamberine- know what I'm talking about? GREATNESS!!!

Gold Dust Woman- the best version ever PERIOD. That wail (SP?)is out of this world---should have been on the CD!!!

Rhiannon- was my favorite song from the Dance when it first came out (I was 10 :) )

Go Insane, Big Love- just Lindsey and his guitar at their very best :nod:

Silver Springs- obviously :D

Sweet Girl- I love this song! Although I must say I like the Enchanted "demo" version more. It's alot "rock-ier" and is longer than the Dance version-anyone concur?

Overall, one of the best concert videos of all time :nod:

:wavey: adam:wavey:

Her songs were never THAT poppy! Temporary One is middle-of-the-road pop that you would expect to hear from the lounge singer on Ally McBeal. I think the music itself is very uninspired and ordinary; nothing stands out. If that song is any indication of how her songs would've been like on SYW, it's a good thing she had nothing to do with it. :laugh:

As for Everywhere, it's never been one of my favorite songs but the music itself is very good. The lyrics are a little lame, but I love the music. Overall, it's another of her worst songs, IMO.

Vonda Shepherd (lounge singer from Ally McBeal) played as the opening act at a place I was working at a few years ago and she played without a band. It was wrong for the room. Someone asked me what I thought and as soon as I said "Vonda Shepherd would have been better with a full on band" I looked up and she was standing to my left and had clearly heard what I said. Oops!

I like "Temporary One" ALOT. Along with "Bleed To Love Her", these were the best of the new songs, in my opinion. I LOVE the Dance DVD. The highlights for me:

Everywhere
Say You Love Me(I like the updated version with the banjo)
You Make Loving Fun
Silver Springs
Over My Head
Tusk/Don't Stop(I like the USC band on these 2 songs)
Songbird

I'll be the first one to defend the song, but bro, this is kinda pushin' it. :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I really like Vonda Shepherd and actually own two of her albums. She gets on your nerves after playing her for more than twenty minutes, but she's genius on the piano. :nod:

She is a good musician and she was sweet. But like Stevie says "A girl needs a band.":laugh:
