IMO i think its a waste to close a show with the most popular single... it just doesn't move me.... plus wasn't GYOW in the encore... and Songbird... now that was moving....

2. because it's not all about the hits.... for me (and i am not being sarcastic) for me... it's about the music regardless if radio or not... i don't let the radio tell me what the best songs are....

I completely agree with you. It's just usually tour video's tend to be packed with bad cutting and all the singles with the odd album track. Plus, what really baffles me is that SOTM wasn't on the Tusk set list or on anyother after Mirage....why? No GYOW came before the encore and Don't Stop came right in the middle of the show (again...odd). The encore was just SOTM and Songbird. I bet Lindsey was pissed about that lol.

The encores were "Blue Letter", "Sisters Of The Moon" & then "Songbird" closed the show. However, they mixed up the order on the video. "Blue Letter" is in the middle of the video set list, for some strange reason.

And, they also added a clavinet to "You Make Loving Fun" in the editing process. When I saw them on that tour, there was definitely no clavinet.

Certain songs remain a mystery to me - why are Not that Funny and Sisters of the Moon even on there? As far as I know, they were not singles. I much prefer the Tango in the Night video except for Stevie's close-up's that were clearly done seperatly (what was with that!?) however White Wing Dove live Kicks ALL the FM live video's.

You know, that's why I LIKE the Mirage video. It wasn't perfect, it wasn't too retouched, it wasn't overedited to make it look like an MTV video or movie. It's about as close as you can get to a real concert, IMO. Yeah, they're off-key a whole bunch. Yeah, I'm not really a fan of LB going down on the mike during NTF. But these are great, emotional performances.

I loathe the TITN DVD, but I'll agree with you that the WWD vid takes the cake. Fabulous, that one.

How can you loathe the TITN video? I love it. I love Christine's live version of Isn't it Midnight and Stevie's version of Stand Back but I hate the editing - it's all over the place. And does anyone know why Stevie's close-up's were done seperatly? They did it on the Red Rocks video too and it is really annoying. Mirage just makes me cringe. I loved the Mirage album but the video was disapointing. Stevie's vocals on Rhiannon are evil and every so ofter during Rhiannon, Sister of the Moon and Gypsy she glances over at the other band members to sort of say "help!" and Lindsey (being the arrogant bastard that he is) is just giggling to himself and hoping this would push Stevie aside for a bit (he never liked her being the biggest artist in the band). So anyway, what are peoples feelings about the Red Rocks DVD? I really don't like it that much - especially not Stevie slaughtering her own song (edge of seventeen). Loved I Can't Wait and Outside the Rain though. Does anyone have a clip of the I Can't Wait red rocks performance?

Actually I thought Stevie was bad. "The Chain" was cool..."Not That Funny" and "So Afraid" were awesome..."Sisters of the Moon" was definitive.
