I feel like the complete Mirage tour video (and audio) is a highly coveted thing in the Fleetwood Mac fandom community. When the Deluxe Edition of Mirage was coming out, I was really hoping they were going to include the full live set from the Mirage tour, like they did on the Deluxe Tusk and Deluxe Rumours. Also, I was checking out the Live Deluxe Edition on iTunes, and Hold Me is one of the most downloaded songs from that album on iTunes.

You are preaching to the choir. No one here is going to disagree with you. This has been discussed here for years. We can only speculate. Hold Me was the biggest hit from Mirage yet was axed for the HBO concert. It also was not included in the extended VHS/laser disc show. Even when they released the Mirage deluxe live CD, it was missing.
Everyone's speculation could be different. Hold Me is a hard song to do live because its studio track has tough elements to pull off live. I think the band or someone thought they would be flamed for its different sound? They thought people would flame them for allegedly butchering it? It was not done on the Tango, BTM, Dance, OWTH tour either which tells you the band did not like the live sound.
That is only speculation because why else would a band ignore one of their biggest hits in concert? IMHO I thought Chris's solo band and the Buck/Vie versions in concert are really good.
Its a mystery to me.
