7. Everywhere (vid)
8. Family man (vid) (still under investigation)
9. As long as you follow (vid)
10. Save me (vid)
11. Skies the limit (vid)
12. In the back of my mind (vid)
13. Paper doll (vid)
14. Love shines (vid)
15. Oh well (from the first "video comp reel" on the Warners vault list)
16. World turning (Midnight special)
17. Over my head (Midnight special)
18. Rhiannon (Rosebud (or Midnight special))
19. You make loving fun (Rosebud)
20. I'm so afraid (Rosebud)
21. Dreams (Paris promo)
22. Sara ("4:00" is what it's listed as on the vault list)
23. Love in store (Live in LA)
24. Eyes of the world ("Eyes" (as it's billed on the list) Live in LA/visible time code)
25. The Chain (Live in LA/visible time code)
26. Say you love me (Hall of fame)
27. Landslide (Hall of fame)
28. Go your own way (Brit awards)
29. Don't stop (Brit awards)

If time permits (since the "Family man" video is still being considered), it would be good to include "Why" from "Midnight special" as it would be a good "nod" to the post Green/pre-BN days (even though it has BN on it as there doesn't seem to be any Welch era footage on this vault list) just as the Green "Oh well" I've listed would touch on the Green era which surely wouln't be too painful for the diehard BN only fans to endure as they surely liked LB doing this song in concert and it's only for a few minutes for god sakes, (you can always skip to the next chapter on DVD or fast forward on your VHS copies) and the post Rumours era is covered with the complete band video list which we seem to have agreed on already which is great. These live choices are good because:

They, as equally as possible represent each member with 6 performances from the Rumours era (2 SN, 2 CM & well, sort of 2 by LB "World turning)), 4 from the Tusk/Mirage era (it seems from the list. "The chain" which is everybody, and 1 from each of the three) and 4 from the 1997 reunion era (2CM, 1 LB & 1 SN. This seems to be as even as we'll get, not only on eras but on people. Also, it coveres all the US hits as well as possible (sorry overseas people, you'll see in an earlier post, I tried for you). In addition, this would keep people like me as happy as possible that we stick with more "rare" footage as oppossed to cutting into the Mirage tape (which we can't touch because of HBO rights anyways), Tusk doc, etc. For those of you fans that do fall into the catagory of what was stated earlier as "too young" and "never seen or able to get those tapes", Send me a private message/e mail with your postal address and I'll send you a VHS copy from my originals of whichever one of those commercial releases you need, aside from having an original, this is the best condition copy you can get, that is until the time comes when we can get the entire thing(s) re-released on DVD/VHS. I'll send it to you for free and with my own money if it means we keep that footage off of this release. Pretty please?

As my VCR is set for Leno tonight as I presume everyone's is, I can't time the performance clips until tomorrow but I think this collection would fit time wise as I say, hopefully with "Why" but I wanted to see if anyone liked this list before bothering to time them so I hope this one works for the masses. Any thoughts? Is there any angles I haven't covered (other than my original wish that we don't chop into things, which some of you are probably correct in saying that there's no way to do a collection and not cut in given what's on the list and given all of these particular politics involved. Let's just please stick with the vault list, I mean isn't that the whole point of what we've been hoping for for years was to get a hold of vault stuff? Now that the chance is here, let's not say "well, we want stuff from "The dance" or whatever instead because it sounds swell" I would hope that these would be considered good enough versions to include as the everyday buyer hasn't heard all versions like we have so there's no way we can judge what is going to be considered "best" as this is an opinion, not a fact. Anyway, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed this list is liked though. OK, What do you guys think?
