The Dance, no doubt, was better.
First of all, we got the whole Rumours lineup. That's my main reason. No Fleetwood Mac is perfect without Christine... well, actually without the whole lineup.
Second, production was better. Obviously because the show was oriented to be a DVD and CD, celebrating the reunion, so it had to follow the Eagles reunion format, or like other bands. It had to sound perfect.
And voices were in better shape, specially Stevie's. She sounded far lower in Boston.
The good thing of Boston was that it actually sounded more "live", spontaneous, natural.. ok you may say "authentic". Yes, The Dance was "too produced", but that was their point in that moment.
Stand Back was great at Boston. Yes, maybe it didn't fit at the Dance, though the band has adopted SB since years ago in their shows. And we got great songs like Beautiful Child, Sara.. songs we had never seen live.. or didn't see since long ago.. Boston is a great show. It has its highlights. But The Dance was the great reunion.
