Not That Funny was definitely, definitely a single in the UK. I'm in the UK too btw. Anyway, that video wasn't produced just to be released in the UK but around the world. Why would they tailor it to what had been successful in one country?
Sisters Of The Moon may not have been released here as a single in the UK (although I'm not a 100 percent on that), but a, it's a kick ass performance and b, it's a kick ass performance. I prefer seeing those songs on the video than yet another performance of Dreams and Don't Stop personally. I also enjoy Lindsey's wonderfully hysterical Not That Funny. It's mad and full of life, which is how a rock and roll concert should be. (And the Mac are a rock band, not a pop band in my opinion).
It's so strange to me that you think Stevie slaughtered Edge Of 17 on the Red Rocks concert. So many people like that because she's lets loose and shows some passion. It's rock and roll! The reason I hate the Tango DVD is because it's so stilted and flashy. Stevie's voice sounds unnatural, monotone and she is very guarded with it, I guess because she was having problems on that tour. It was the beginning of the klonopin years afterall.
As for Stand Back, the Solid Gold and Saturday Night Live versions knock the socks off the Tango version IMO.
