For me, just watching any interaction between the 3 songwriters and John too (I don't get terribly excited about Mick touching or gazing at people) is magical. Many times when I mark my Dance boots, I label them by what the members did when they were taking their last bow and in what order they did it. That's often how I tell one show from another in my descriptions. As for the song audio, one show is pretty much like another for me, so I never think that a song performance is especially good (well, I do think the RRHOF version of SYLM is beyond beautiful) and I don't compare that. That's all a haze to me. One show blends into another audio wise.

But I like to hear the different things the members say when they talk and I like to see them exchanging moments with each other. I don't care how mundane it is. What are Lindsey and Christine going to do during Stand Back. Has Christine really stopped hugging everyone at the end? Why? How far is Lindsey going to cross the stage towards Stevie for Silver Springs (which was way more exciting on tour than it was on the DVD, for me). What's Lindsey going to do to the 3 of them for GYOW. Oh, why did they take that part out of NTF? That's what I liked best!

I liked watching the Dance tour change over time and wish I could have seen every single one of them.

As for the SYW tour, I loved it. I'm into Stevie and Lindsey. I'm from Michigan. I'm still upset that I didn't see the tour end there. I feel I betrayed myself and my hometown. But it was a Tuesday night and I couldn't get there. I loved it toward the end when Lindsey's dedications became emotional. I'm glad I was there for Reno and Madison. Even so, overall, I don't have a particular yearning to have more of those shows than I already do.

The Dance though, I regret it on a weekly basis. I am not into CDs, but I would pay a great deal of money for videos. $100 per show, at least.
