I have to disagree simply because "Stand Back" is not a FM song, it's a Stevie solo song. LB and CM didn't do their solo stuff. For instance, they could have done "Little Lies" (FM song) but not "Got a Hold On Me" (CM solo song) or "Not That Funny" (FM song) but not "Trouble" (LB solo song)....it gets so jumbled up doesn't it?

This lineup of FM was breaking up from the beginning!

I'm thankful Over My Head made the DVD because I really missed it on the tour.

Over My Head made a huge impact in the 70's and it's still played on classic rock stations to this day. Stand Back is always an audience favorite but given the choice, a FM cut would make the CD quicker than any solo song would IMO.

And boy am I glad he did. That version of the song is intense. Love it!

I wish Christine would have chosen "Spare Me A Little," "Isn't it Midnight," and...for the first time ever..."Sugar Daddy." I've heard Over My head, Say You Love Me and Everywhere are fine songs, but I'm tired of them.

Mine doesn't, but I've had it for a long time. Maybe newer versions are divided?

Check, Carrie!

are you sure yours doesn't? it's a hidden menu, you have to press a button to get to it ... i don't remember what button it is though

my dvd player isn't hooked up right now, or i'd check. but i'm too lazy for that.

Ooh, that would have been fun.

I've got to say that The Dance version of Big Love is much better than the LIB version. The LIB ones isn't as good a performance and the audio isn't anywhere near as fantastic sounding.

Mine has chapters. It starts the show without bringing you to a menu but then if I hit the "menu" button on the remote it brings me to it. Maybe it is the newer ones that have it because I only got mine a couple of years ago.

I know part of it is because I am one of the ones that grew to love this band because of The Dance, but also, I just think it is a lot better. I'm sure Christine's presence helps The Dance's cause quite a bit too.

My question is, though, are there any songs on Live in Boston that are also on The Dance that you prefer the Live in Boston versions of? I really want to try and appreciate this collection a little bit more, if possible.

Please disregard this message if NO ONE pays any attention to Live in Boston. Which could very well be a possibility.

i actually prefer every one of The Dance versions. Dreams is pretty close. LIB is pretty good.

There is just something about The Dance that has me entranced, from start to finish, it puts me in this dream state. There's a kind of velvety elegance to it that I think trumps LIB..now don't get me wrong, i love LIB.

The Dance, no doubt, was better.

First of all, we got the whole Rumours lineup. That's my main reason. No Fleetwood Mac is perfect without Christine... well, actually without the whole lineup.
Second, production was better. Obviously because the show was oriented to be a DVD and CD, celebrating the reunion, so it had to follow the Eagles reunion format, or like other bands. It had to sound perfect.

And voices were in better shape, specially Stevie's. She sounded far lower in Boston.

The good thing of Boston was that it actually sounded more "live", spontaneous, natural.. ok you may say "authentic". Yes, The Dance was "too produced", but that was their point in that moment.

Stand Back was great at Boston. Yes, maybe it didn't fit at the Dance, though the band has adopted SB since years ago in their shows. And we got great songs like Beautiful Child, Sara.. songs we had never seen live.. or didn't see since long ago.. Boston is a great show. It has its highlights. But The Dance was the great reunion.

But we didn't get Sara, did we? That's a problem.

well yeah not on the DVD. Which sucked. Would've been nice to have I Know I'm Not Wrong too! I saw them do that in Jacksonville in 2004 and it was AWESOME!
