I think that was to be used a la The Dance, but was not.

That's one of the things I'm talking about... they needed to do something in conjunction with VH1. Have the network broadcast snippets from that Blockbuster Studios rehearsal concert, or do some little sit-down interview that they could have aired.
I was baffled that FLEETWOOD MAC had a brand new album coming out, and I wasn't seeing a single bit of promotion on VH1... not until the "Peacekeeper" video was finally released about a month later. And that wasn't much.
I also think they should have spread things out a little better, so that the Today Show, Dateline, and Leno appearances weren't all broadcast within the same 7-day timeframe.
Or perhaps appear on Letterman a few weeks later.
Anyway, it's all water under the bridge now.
