Default This didn't make me laugh, but...

But I completely disagree. It was what Google AI answered to What was the best Fleetwood Mac concert?

Maybe I should agree cause The Dance was the first concert I was able to go to. But I guess it is in human's nature to yearn for what one didn't have, so I'd have answered it is any concert from the Rumours-Tusk years, shows that I would never have been able to attend since I was just a boy. Therefore, although there are clips of some live songs, these tours have an air of mystery to be discovered for me (which excludes Mirage since there was a commercial video of almost an entire show, plus the 70s FM era was king of magical, or so I feel).

Anyway it's interesting how Google justified its answer:

Widely considered Fleetwood Mac’s best and most iconic concert is The Dance, recorded live at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, on May 23, 1997. This reunion concert marked the return of the classic Rumours-era lineup and featured the famously intense, emotionally charged live performance of "Silver Springs".

Why The Dance (1997) is Legendary:

The Reunion: It reunited Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood for the first time on a major stage in 10 years.

The "Silver Springs" Moment: Their live delivery of Stevie Nicks’ unreleased Rumours track is praised as one of the most dramatic and raw emotional exchanges in rock history, captured as Nicks and Buckingham locked eyes during the finale.

The Scale: It blended an intimate acoustic setup with explosive full-band energy, culminating in a massive finale featuring the USC Marching Band on "Tusk"
.


Widely considered?

Emotionally charged? Yes. Or at least that's what they transmitted at that moment. And the mere fact of reuniting was already exciting.

Legendary? I think the 70s years were much more legendary. There are plenty of reasons. If a reunion were enough to be legendary, the 2014 concerts would also be like that, with Christine's return.

The Scale... I'd understand scale as overall magnitude or bigness of something. And yes watching the Marching Band performing Tusk (and DS) with the band was great. But if I hear "scale", I immediately recall the Tusk tour.

I loved The Dance video and the concert I went to (NYC nov. 97), but I don't think the best Fleetwood Mac concert was in 1997. And Google answer is mostly based in two songs, SS and Tusk. Not enough to justify it.

I hope they never apply AI to trials and sentences.
