I saw him kiss her to thank her for saying he did a good job on her music. But basically, he seemed to call himself being seductive towards her throughout.

I've seen older FM group interviews from the early 80s where the band looks similarly bored-annoyed-uncertain. Most of the five interview very well alone or in pairs. But when the five of them are all stuck together they kind of freeze up--perhaps out of fear that someone will say the wrong thing.

Incidentally, the Say You Will line up looked equally dead when they were featured on some tv awards show hosted by Jimmy Kimmell (where he talked them in Germany via Satellite.)

At the time of the rehearsals for The Dance, Lindsey, Mick and John seemed very keen to be out playing. Christine seemed excited once the music started but extremely bored or annoyed by all the other crap--lengthy photo shoots, tiresome interviews where the same questions are asked again and again, make up reapplications...

Stevie's tentativeness was VERY temporary. I think she might have started out saying "I just quit this band a few years earlier" but then saw that this was an opportunity to reignite her stardom and seized it.

For me the most interesting moment of the entire interview was when Mick mentioned that Bob Welch was maybe 5% unhappy with being in the band in 1974, a comment which Christine and John immediately pounced on. "I think it was a bit more than that! The writing was on the wall."

Ha, if it's the one I am thinking of, which was around the end of December, Lindsey definitely looked like a zombie, but they had just finished performing, so I suppose he was exhausted. He just stared. John had nothing to say, which is not atypical. Stevie and Mick were giggling like teens and having a grand old time with each other. Mick kept repeating something about them not being dead yet.

I also like in part one @ 6:26, after Stevie does her little dance, Lindsey says to her " Sweet little dress, sweet sweet dress, very nice ", in sort of a funny voice, Stevie face lights up, then Mick says " Can I get one? ".
And then in part 3 @ :56, Stevie looks like a flight attendant showing us where the exits are. No volume needed, just funny to watch.

I saw 2 kisses. Part one-@ 10:44, and part two-@ 4:17, as you stated.

Your time stamps are helpful. This weekend I will look at the clips again and use your guide to find things that I missed (like Stevie pointing out the exits). Who needs to shop for Thanksgiving, when I can do that?

He fell for her again, she watched it happen . . . meanwhile Will became a gleam in his dad's eye.

I didn't notice the exit pointing either. But I did notice how Lindsey hemmed and hawed his way through the "Twisted" reunion... Gee, where was Kristen anyway? Neal probably could have used a hand there.

Looks like the Frankenboks made an appearance long before the TISL Tour.

So did the bum hip, but who's paying attention? Oh, the camera man was...the closeup on the footwear was hysterical.

Is it just me, or does it look like Stevie is gently rocking back and forth during the entire interview? It was driving me crazy!

And it seemed like she briefly explaining to Mick why she had them on... and he said "I know"... but I couldn't make out what she was saying for him to say that or what it seemed Lindsey was saying about her shoes that caused her to explain why she had them on... It almost sounds like he was saying skeetchers or something like that. The camera was focused on Stevie, but Lindsey was making the comments about the shoes.

I think the Lindsey attitude toward Stevie, with the kisses and the cozy gestures are genuine, but anyway part of the "Silver Springs" looks and show we got at the Dance and the tour. I remember The Ledge in 1997 with all the rumours about Stevie and Lindsey coming back as a couple (our wishes) and comments about each show (Lindsey hug her! she rest her head on his shoulder!.. etc.).

It was a genuine feeling, I guess, but also a bit of a show, for the fans.

Well, to each his own, although I think that's a bit far-fetched. I mean, at that point in their lives, I don't think they would need to be quite so touchy feely with each other - "for the fans". You don't see John & Christine acting that way, for example. I mean, why would the fans suddenly be EXPECTING them to act lovey-dovey? I thought they couldn't stand each other for 20 years...lol

But, hey it is a debate that will go on for as long as they want it to, I guess...and that could be eternity...

So, I just calls 'em likes I sees 'em.

Why S&L? Because they are Stevie and Lindsey. Chris and John didn't want to start the game. Because they are british? I don't know. I don't know if fans would have followed the game as with S&L.

Cause I do remember The Ledge during the Reunion tour in 1997, and there was a lot of theories about them (wishing) coming back. So many of us followed the game, as far as it was a game.
But as fairydust75 said, During Say You Will and Unleashed interviews you have none of that. So maybe the formula was too worn.

Anyway, as you say, it's a debate that will go on for eternity. how much real, how much show? We'll never know. I just add that many of us enjoyed that flirting during the show.
