I still keep my Rolling Stone issue from october 1997. I got it in NYC when I went to see them on Thanksgiving day.

Most definitely! The dance version of Silver Springs has to rank up there on everybody's list of favorite live performance. When there 3 voices join together in the chorus, I get goosebumps.

My first (real) FM concert! I had been a fan for 2-3 yrs at this point, and had seen the Time tour but never thought I'd have the chance to see these 5 on the same stage! I went to 2 shows (Shoreline in Mtn. View and Hollywood Bowl) and loved every second of them.

Like every other FM fan, I wish the experience had been a more positive one for Christine, and that she'd continued on after The Dance. They were on such a roll, who knows what might have happened if they'd gone right back into the studio?

However, this being the Mac, we know they hate to do the sensible thing and strike while the iron is hot, so '98 and beyond might not have turned out any different that how they did...

I believe she is squeezing the Charmin.

I had seen The Tango tour, and Behind the Mask, but the Dance tour was my first Lindsey experience. This was the first and last time seeing the Mac with my favorite lineup, but what great memories. There was so much buzz and excitement surrounding the tour, the CD, it was on VH1 forever, a very happy time for those of us that thought it would never happen again. So grateful it did.

I have the same memories of this time. It was a very good time in my life as well.

This is one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac performances. I love this arrangement. Of course the song is one of my favorites, regardless of how its peformed or who peformed it.

Ditto. I thought this version worked quite well, despite my love of the piano part. The vocal harmonies were superb as well. This is my all-time favorite Christine McVie song. Although, You Make Loving Fun is a close, close second.

This song really rocked back in the day!

Wow! That was way better than I remember it. Vocally it was very nice. LB sounded so good.

Man, Christine's voice was still great in 97!!
