Maybe if that video would have been a bit less polished, and had some of the new guys' solo works mixed in with some older Mac tunes and the Tango songs, the whole thing would have been better. As it stands, that thing sucks. A great concert video like Mirage was followed up by that piece of work Tango. Dammit! 
Haha, can anyone tell how much I HATE this video!?
Also on Mirage, I would have to say you find the best live version of Blue Letter that is circulating.

jmn3 and Hawkeye, I agree with EVERYTHING you said, in both ur posts on this thread! haha! I HATE the Tango In The Night video. And I HATE Billy and Rick's version of The Chain....Nobody get me wrong..Billy and Rick are brilliant artists and extremely talented, but I just cannot stand them doing
Lindsey's parts for any song...their guitar work and vocals on The Chain (any of their live versions).... aghh!..it sounds like they're trying too hard or something! I hate it! they've tried to "polish it up" and have just totally ruined the spirit of the song.......in fact this applies to all the songs on the video....i could go on and on about camera angles and "over-production", but you two said everything I wanted to say about this video, (and the Mirage video, which simply rocks from start to finish!).
The only thing that's stopped me from the throwing the video away is a) for FM "complete-ness" b) I like Billy and Rick's version of "Oh Well"...I like what they did with that.
(All this just MHO....!)
