I love The Dance but am I in the minority that thinks this mutated Say You Love Me is a dud? Even then, I did not care for the version and it gets worse over time. Chris's piano/keyboard groove is one of the best parts of the song. Its so darn funky. Having all 3 singers back, I wanted a classic Say You Love Me.
Sorry

Perhaps even back then Chris was looking to do less heavy lifting on the keys. Not only does she sing lead on SYLM, the busy piano part is iconic, and although she had keys support I assume it was mostly backup parts rather than the current full-karaoke approach.

All this aside, when they played it live in Buffalo in 2016, I loved hearing it in its traditional arrangement. |

I thought it worked best as the first song in the set. Whatever shortcomings the live arrangement might have had, it got the crowd going. The opening chords, John’s bass, and the chorus created an energy that’s the perfect way to open a show. It really doesn’t work as well live when it’s buried.

As I stated earlier, the Dance version is such a dud with the sha la las. Its new twist but a lame twist. But one area I do agree is finding the perfect live version. IMHO, the 1980 live album is my favorite. Something about the faster organ (than other years) and Mick's crisp drumming. Its my favorite even though Stevie's vocals are a bit too strong and ruin it a bit

Another reason may have been that it was the 90s and the "unplugged" treatment was somewhat in vogue. The acoustic piano opening to Rhiannon played into that as well (not to mention Landslide as already mentioned here). An unplugged Gypsy (like that one from the AHI benefit) would have been so good.

However, when I read about SYLM being an opening song, it just made sense. IMO, I prefer a song that leads up to "The Chain" than have it open the set. If anything, I'd rather have it be the first song in the encore set, with the band walking back out on a completely dark stage.

I think Monday Morning was a great first song in the Live album. I loved they released a Live album that year, whatever reasons Mick had. And probably it was one of the two reasons I became a Fleetwood Mac fan. Though maybe I'd have included other/changed few song. Anyway I think was the great way to end a beautiful era (musically).
From Mick's first book: Back at home, we took two weeks off before going back to the studio for three weeks to record, overdub, and remix tracks for a live album. It was controversial within the band, this record, because I was the only one who wanted to do it. It was not a popular decision. Both John McVie and Lindsey Buckingham thought it was a negative move, but I always bought Greatest Hits albums myself, and I strongly felt there had to be a live document of the band at this point. ..... Later in the year, we released Fleetwood Mac Live as a double album, and it wasn't a big success. There were many accusations of "We told you so," but I have no regrets.
