The way the Stevie sang Silver Springs during the Dance show was incredible. I'll never need to hear it again.

For me, it captured everything I loved about B/N. And then with Christine's piano and harmony. It had so much passion and every lyric was kept in the moment by Stevie. Further, Lindsey and Christine worked so well off of Stevie with vocals and piano/guitar.

Every other performance that I've seen is always second.

Silver Springs was fantastic on the Dance tour. I think it should have been dropped after that tour. It's one of my all time favorite MAC songs but it's definetly not an easy song for Stevie to do these days.

Except the back up singers kinda ruined the chorus. You can't even hear Christine and Lindsey.

Well, seven-year-old Australian me didn't see it on that tour. Or in 2004. Or 2009. Or 2013. So I'm VERY happy it stuck around, personally. Sounded good to me.

It's good. Just not explosive with the same passion. And that's what happens when you have to sing or act something a zillion times. They are only human.
But yes, I'm so glad you got to see it. You share so many things on here and elsewhere. You deserve it.

Default Silver Springs...

As good as the version from The Dance is, I think the SYW version packs in the anger almost as well. If choosing between the two then it's The Dance but I think it still was pretty damn good in SYW shows. It was fiery. I always wonder what Sara would have been like on The Dance tour...

Me too. I miss the upright piano for Sara.

The band was rocking during the SYW tour. Fleetwood Mac often steams ahead with real purpose when they have a new album to promote. Even though they didn't do a hell of a lot of SYW songs on that tour, the new material seemed to give them an urgency almost entirely absent in the two subsequent tours--and even in this On with the Show celebration. This is precisely why I want to see a new album from them before I ever see them on the road again. The new music will undoubtedly light a fire under them. That's always exciting to see....

That was a revelation. She nailed it and the band nailed it. Everything worked. I've rarely seen her embody passion and vocal control so well before or since.

I remember when I first saw the taped show. When that song was through, I leapt out of my chair and cheered. It was so spontaneous. I felt sheer joy that something great had been accomplished.

I also remember being wowed by You Make Loving Fun, and really digging the new arrangement of Say You Love Me. I also loved Temporary One and Bleed to Love Her. But it was Silver Springs that stole the show.
