By the way, according to Transworld the VBo Stevie Nicks is cancelled.

Let's not forget the cd The Divine Stevie Nicks GH #3 - Yes an import out of UK but still a GH.

The funny thing to me about The Sance is the streamers on La Nicks' tamb. are one color in one part of the song, another color in the next, and then cak to the same color. Plus, some of the long shots appear not in sync. with the song they are singing

But, they all do it, so no biggie to me.

There's no reason not to love it, IMO.
No band is capable of being pitch-perfect in a live setting, and nearly all indulge in some post-production overdubs and/or audio sweetening when releasing a concert album or DVD.

Plus, they had a lot riding on 'The Dance'... it had to sound fantastic.

Exactly!!! There's also another import called "The Very Best Of Stevie Nicks".. it only has about 6 tracks on it, but it too is a Greatest Hits CD...

I wouldn't count an import compilation CD that she likely had no involvement in, against her.

I'm a Bonnie Tyler fan (yes, they do exist -- just ask Amber), and there are, literally, FOUR TIMES as many "best of Bonnie Tyler" collections than she has studio albums... and she was only actively involved in the release of two of those (ie: did press for them, new photoshoots for the covers, etc.).

umm... besides "It's a heart ache" and "Total eclipse of the heart" What songs did she do to be considered greatest hits? Or was it a greatest hit 45?

Just curious......

Well, in America, she also had a major hit with "Holding Out For A Hero," and a minor hit with "If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man)"... but she's had several other hits in Europe. Especially Germany.
And Europe is where most of these "best of" sets originate.

It would be so much better than listening to the bootlegs from concerts with all the crowd noise.

And she better do it fast before Fleetwood Mac puts out a fourth live album.

Exactly. I would love a bootleg series as well. Just to have high quality recordings would be magnificent.
