No GYOW came before the encore and Don't Stop came right in the middle of the show (again...odd). The encore was just SOTM and Songbird. I bet Lindsey was pissed about that lol.
Sisters Of The Moon was not only on the Tusk tour, it's even on the infamous Tusk Documentary & Live Concert video. It was a staple of later Rumours shows, the Tusk tour and the Mirage tour. Why is it odd then that they would include such a showstopper and live favourite on a live video?

I'm not sure why Lindsey would be pissed, since Go Your Own Way ends the show before the encore, much as it did on recent tours And then he gets to seriously rock out on Sisters with a fantastic solo. And my three versions of the Mirage video (we are talking about the Mirage concert aren't we?), don't have Don't Stop on them at all.

Also, I have to say, knowing the Mac, I'm sure they approved that video before it went on sale. And it's got eight singles on there, four concert staples(I'm So Afraid, Sisters Of The Moon, Songbird and perhaps their most famous song, The Chain) and one album track (Eyes Of The World) from their, at that time, new record. How is that not a good setlist, with something for casual fans and hardcore devotees?

I agree with jbrownsjr, the fact that it's just the simple five-piece band playing, no frills, with plenty of drama and passion, is what appeals to me about the Mirage video.
