[WildHearted]

I like Little Lies because everyone looks attractive and the setting/clothing is so amusing.

But overall, I think the Gypsy video is better - those sets are incredible.

Somehow in all these years of my fandom, I've never seen the Everywhere video. WTH? Doesn't fit the song at all, in fact it would have been perfect for Stevie's the Highwayman, since that's the poem they're referencing in this video. Plus, no one from the band is even in it. So yeah...Gypsy is still my favorite, followed by Hold Me and Seven Wonders.

[shackin'up]

Hold me. And gypsy. The best songs of all of these, and the best vids.

[Sanne2]

The Gypsy video is fab, but the cut off trees are weird and Lindsey's hairdo is even weirder.
The Hold Me video is nice, not fantastic, just nice.
Holland (maybe the rest of Europe too?) had a slightly different version of the Everywhere video, with the sillouettes of Christine, Mick and John, that made a bit more sense tho I have no idea why no Stevie.
I love the Seven Wonders video, so simple but so beautiful, everybody looked really good and I love the "rainbow" parts.
The Big Love video is good, very 80s, "Sledgehammer"-esque, but I don't think it's as dated now as some of the other videos from that year. I like the rewind part.
The Little Lies video is nice but kinda dumb, why a farm? Why in a barn?

What about the Behind The Mask videos?

Interesting-- from Wikipedia:

The video of the song is a visual depiction of the poem, The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. There are two versions of the video; one features the story with members of the band appearing throughout, while the other doesn't feature the band at all.

I have never seen the one with the band members! I wonder if it's on youtube too.

It's basically the same video with a few shots of Mick, John, and Christine singing inserted.

Gypsy then Hold Me. Loved both videos and both songs.

[redbird]

Obviously a certain fantasy (epic travel, adventure, whimsy, imagination, period romance) to a lot of the concepts, and a sense of theater. Except perhaps "Little Lies" which I always thought was an incredibly random video.

My favorite's "Gypsy" too. I don't know about least favorite, it might be "Everywhere" because I never saw it until just right now so I don't have a sentimental attachment to it.

[Villavic]

Which is your favorite? GYPSY!!!!

What is good/bad about these? Gypsy could have been better resolution. It is always a bit fuzzy.

Specific favorite scenes? Most of Gypsy scenes. You asked if some video is forgotten. Well, though it's post-Rumours lineup, I do like very much As long as you follow video.


Which is your least favorite? Everywhere, cause I don't see the band members. So I can put any video with Everywhere sound and that's it??

[moon]

I like them all, but Big Love is my favourite! I love the end and the band together again, you know, after the solo works of Chris, Lindsey & Stevie. Nice to see Stevie wearing again the clothes of the Rock A Little days, but it's sad to know that Stevie wasn't there when they recorded the song (and a big part of the album)...

Good/Bad: Everywhere. It's a sad story, and the members of the band only appeared in one edition, and not Lindsey and Stevie, or Lindsey.

Specific favourite scenes:
- Gypsy: The end, with everybody dancing. And the band in blck & white, with the old style.
- Hold Me: STEVIE!!!!!!! And Lindsey breaking the glass with his guitar
- Everywhere:
- Seven Wonders: Stevie!!!!!
- Big Love: The end, definitely, but all the video is really good.
- Little Lies: When everyone is walking in the barn, looking out. And Chris and Stevie walking together. They looked like sisters!

Anything interesting: Well, I only remember that the House of the Hill really exists, and it's still used for parties and weddings. Nothing new, I know...

Regards!

Big Love is high on my list, if only for the unintentional hilarity of Stevie standing there with nothing to do but swish her skirt and Lindsey thrusting away at his guitar.
