The 1980 album is akin to a concert program -- cool photos & moments, but it has beer spilled on it. It's "street" (for Fleetwood Mac, at least).

Oh yeah for sure. The Dance has it's share of problems. The fact that they didn't film it in 16:9 blows my mind.

My problem with the LIVE 1980 record is that it sounds very dirty. The performances are good, but take "Don't Stop" for example... the ending where Lindsey breaks a string and you hear Christine talking about it? Interesting for sure, but... it doesn't belong there. Give me some CLASSIC versions of the songs that I can listen to regularly. I have to say, "Fireflies" is the only one I don't typically skip over.
