I liked the SYW tour very much and I enjoyed Live in Boston, but I was kind of psychotic about The Dance. I can remember when I first got it, I would watch it twice in a row and then I'd go out and do some shopping and I'd be standing in the check out line, looking at my watch and wondering if I could get home in time to watch it once more before I went to bed. I almost lost my sanity over that DVD.
Now, if they want to release that on Blu-Ray, I'm all over it.

Oh no - don't get me wrong.
The Dance is amazing. I grew up listening to FM because my mom was a fan, but I didn't become rabid like I am now until I caught
The Dance on TV when it first came out when I was in high school, and it sort of snowballed from there.
I think
The Dance is perfection and a testament to just how great a band they really are - if anyone unfamiliar with FM asks me what they should see/listen to as an introduction, I fork
The Dance over, because there is no way NOT to be knocked out by how fantastic they are when you see that.
So there is that side to my love for this band, and the OTHER side is how much I love how freakin' goofy they are - Mick's weirdo faces, Stevie's diva melodrama, Lindsey's tiny
Mirage hat and bunny hops, etc. Stuff like the over-the-top phony boxing (good thing about the cord, too, because I think Stevie wouldn't look good with her teeth knocked out) feeds that for me - and the moments of brilliance, like
Beautiful Child, juxtaposed against that goofy just really served to endear that DVD to me.
