Landslide is the Video from the DVD

Landslide is going to be released to Vh1 as a video. The Landslide from the upcoming DVD. I personally think this is the dumbest possible decision they could POSSIBLY make. Landslide was avideo for The Dance too, and this is basically the exact same version. I would even take having Dreams released as a video over Landslide. At least the whole band is on that one.

Leave it to FM to play it safe

I mean Say Goodbye would have the same nostalgic sense and is at least a new song. I mean they released it in The Dance video as well. I also think SHN is a better choice. But, they never asked me!!!!

"Landslide" is getting to be the latter-day Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross."
How many times was that sucker re-released?

I can understand why they'd want to go with a classic track, but gosh, why choose "Landslide" again? Brilliant song that it is, VH1 already had 'The Dance' version in heavy rotation just a few years ago, and the Dixie Chicks' rendition just over a year ago.

Personally, I think they should have gone with something upbeat, like "Second Hand News."
"Dreams" would have been a good choice too.

I really don't think Dreams would be a good choice. In my post above I said it would've been much better then Landslide but that's it. Gold Dust woman's a little on the long side, but that would've really been a great choice considering it's being left off the CD. I'd say Silver Springs but that was also alredy a video live a few years ago. I'd also say Tusk would be a great choice. next to So Afraid and Come It shows The band's craziness really the best this tour. And it's not nearly as long as those 2. And really watching the song live on TV would almost be like a real music vdeo. Hell Lindsy stops playing his guitar and engage in a boxing match with Stevie. If that's not music video material I don't know what is.

"Dreams" might not be the best choice... but I was thinking in terms of recognition factor. Which I'm sure is one of the biggest factors for choosing "Landslide." It's a great song, and they already know that people love it... so they're hoping that will equal sales for the product.

But definitely something like "Second Hand News," "Tusk," or, heck, even "Stand Back," would have been better choices, given the energy of the songs.

They sure know how to play it safe. Jeeze...out of all the songs, you have to pick the one that is totally overplayed from The Dance now, seven years later, on the radio and that was also made famous again by the Dixie Chicks. I love the song soo much but I'm all Landslided out.

I would have thought Stand Back was the vid choice seeing that vh1 had it up on their site to view...

I'd go with Stand Back, SHN, or even Go Your Own Way as smart and safe choices. Less safe but great would be Beautiful Child or Eyes Of The World.
