By the way, can anyone make out what she says at the very beginning when introducing the song? Right before, "This speaks for itself". I've played it back numerous time & I just can't hear what she said.

Here's another "Songbird", from the Mirage video.

I think she says something like " Mick, John, Stevie and Lindsey I love you guys so much"

That was great by the way - thanks to priestofnothing for posting

The big hug at the end was very touching.

That's what it sounded like to me, at least something like "I love you guys so much."

As for the camera problem, I'm sure that the person operating the camera was trying to get to a place where he or she could get Christine's piano in the frame, and I'm glad they did, because I always enjoy being able to watch a piano player's hands. It's just amazing to me that this footage exists at all. A big thank-you to those brave souls who risk having their equipment confiscated (and possibly not returned) by venues with rules against such taping.

"Songbird" is such a lovely song. But I thought it was always brave of the group to end a show with it. The conventional thinking in rock concerts is to end with an uptempo number to send the audience home on an up note. Maybe they were just trying to calm down all the obnoxious noisy drunks in the audience by making this their final number of a show.

I've always thought it nice that Fleetwood Mac sing a lullaby to their fans at the end of the evening

No, you're not cracking up. This time I listened to it with my headphones. And she definitely says, "Mick, John, Stevie & Lindsey. And, I love you guys so much. This song speaks for itself."

By the way, that's the first time that I've heard "Songbird" when she didn't dedicate it to the audience.

That's a relief then.

Here's "Farmer's Daughter" from Pittsburgh earlier in the Dance tour. There are some really terrific close-ups too.

Thanks for that!

It's always nice to see clips from the Dance Tour as we didn't get to see them in Eurpoe at that time
