I disagree with that, I hear casual fans ask or talk about
Silver Springs all the time. I'm not into it myself. I was during the Dance tour itself, but I didn't like it on the Dance dvd and I haven't really liked it after the Dance tour, but that tv moment stood out for people who had never even heard of FM and they still remember it to this day.
I saw someone who is a techie, not a music personality say she went to the jazzfest in a post and someone shot back, "Oh,
please tell me they did Silver Springs." And she said no, that that would have been such an emotional high point, but she said that NGBA was a good substitute. Silver Springs seems to be on a lot of people's minds and I think it's liked by casual fans even more than focused fans.
I don't think shippers look to
Silver Springs for special moments. It's probably been 10 years or more since anything special happened during Silve
r Springs.
