Fleetwood Mac’s Reunion Album ‘The Dance’ Turns 18

[michelej1]

I remember I loved that DVD so much, I would watch it multiple times in one day. I remember going grocery shopping at 9:00 p.m. once and saying, "If I hurry, I can make it home and watch The Dance again, before I have to go to sleep." I was obsessed.

0 years ago I was on the road seeing Stevie's tour with Don Henley.

I had been on the Penguin, I think around 1996 or so. We started to get little sound bites of each song... and just like now, I was dying to hear it.

Great concert yes, it was tame in comparison; but, the joy I had from having the 5 them back together... . Oh my!!! Could not stop playing it.

their best live album and fully deserving of No. 1 chart status.

This dvd was the first dvd I (or anyone else in my family) owned. And the only dvd player we had at the time (around January 1999) was on our computer. It wasn't for nearly a year (Christmas 1999) until we had a stand alone player for the TV. At 13 years old, I had just discovered Fleetwood Mac the previous fall through a cassette my dad made 20 years earlier of the original Rumours LP and The Dance on cassette which I bought. Played it a bunch. Great show.

I took it with me every time I went on holiday to keep me company. I couldn't leave it at home. I would miss it too much!

I used to take it with me, too. In case a friend would let me play it for them.

I drove my whole family crazy. But I'm very obsessive/passionate with every thing I love, so they're used to it.

FM has been my biggest obsession so far. I have never ever spent the amount of money I did with anyone but them. That's how I know!

Mine too. I've always been the kind of person to fall so quickly in love with something and become obsessed. However, my love for Fleetwood Mac has far surpassed any of my other obsessions. I think my friends and family are tired of me talking about FM/Stevie and making them listen to albums and watch performances. Oops.

Like many of you, me and my Mom absolutely wore this video out (We were still VHS-ers in 1997; I got the DVD a few years later). This was my first introduction to FM; I was 10 years old and totally enamored. I remember being spellbound by Rhiannon, floored by Gold Dust Woman (we were always asking why they left that off the CD?!), moved to tears by Silver Springs, rocking out to air guitar on So Afraid....we pretty much switched up watching this and a VHS of the Disney Going Home documentary my mom had recorded when it aired around 1993- it's a GREAT retrospective/history of the band with great interviews and clips and should really be released in some format. This is how I first glimpsed the Rosebud Rhiannon, Mirage Chain, etc.

I still wish my mom had taken me to see the concert, and Enchanted the next year, but alas it was 1999 before my first concert (The Cranberries!).

Such incredibly fond memories of The Dance. They were BACK. Stevie was absolutely stunning, they are looked and sounded great. As my first foray into FM, it will always hold a very big place in my heart.

NOW how about a re-release with unreleased rehearsal footage, how killer would that be ?!

My partner at the time yelled at me for watching it so much.It was great to have the Mac back after Mick had tried so hard to cheapen the brand even if it was mostly nostalgia based.
