Oh right! you mean Sara wasn't included at the DVD.. you are right (cause it was performed in several shows of the tour as I read).. yes, that was a mistake i guess

i have them both and i love them both. if i had to choose which one i liked the best i would have to choose live in boston.

I'd like to add the main thing I hate about "The Dance" is that is wasnt filmed in widescreen. Also, the 5.1 sounds crapola. It's way better in stereo.

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

oh word. I Agree 100% with IIM. and Spare Me A Little is KICK ASS...but I would have went with a Tusk song [a la Brown Eyes or Over and Over] rather than Sugar Daddy.

Im personally not to keen on Everywhere on the Dance, the OMH is blah, but I do rather love SYLM on there. the new twist is really cool

Watching this again, especially "Tusk" because I find it so damn entertaining, but do I hear Christine in the harmonies at the end there? Little cutting and pasting, maybe? Sneaky!

"The Dance" by far. The band had become a bit of a joke. All of their releases bombed miserably by their standards. Even if one combines the sales of "Out Of The Cradle," "Street Angel," and "Time," and hell throw in the box set, and it still adds up to a miserable failure. Stevie was headlining quarter-to-half filled venues, Lindsey was downgraded to opening act, and Mick and John's new Fleetwood Mac was part of oldies packages. Christine was the only one smart enough to stay home, realizing they were old and people didn't like them anymore. But, then realizing there was a lot of money to be made, they somehow found a way to bury the hatchet. But, they looked great, sounded great, and played with confidence.

LIB feels like the contractual obligation album by people clearly tired of being around each other. It's nice to have a full show of the set they played over 175 times. My biggest gripe, though, is that the CD was mostly songs that were also on "The Dance." Gee, why not put songs NOT on that album on there? They had to know most people weren't going to play that instead of "The Dance," if for no other reason than "The Dance" has Christine McVie.

I prefer Live in Boston. Because of the fact that it seems to be less over produced than The Dance was.

Besided I have never saw a Dance-tour performance with my own eyes, because the didn't come to Europe that time around. I had to travel to Germany to see SYW and LIB is an extra memory for that show...

I have it on my Ipod in both a audio as well as a video-version..

LIB wins in so many ways for me. It's just a way better representaion of Fleetwood Mac live then The Dance is. Don't get me wrong, I love The Dance and think The Dance CD is way better then LIB, but LIB is the 10x better DVD IMO. The intensity is so much higher, especially on Lindsey's end. It can be at times like a heavy metal show (Come, So Afraid especially) and as for Stevie, she's half and half. Half the time she's better on LIB half the time she was better on The Dance. I can't believe I'm alone in think Gypsy is better on LIB. That's the one song that I think is most obvious as being better on LIB, her vocals are way beter. Silver Springs on the other hand was way better on The Dance, the rest are all kind of even. Dreams and Rhiannon aren't that good on either when I think about it, Rhiannon rocks a little harder on LIB but really she hasn't done that song well until the past year. Gold Dust Woman on the other hand is incredible on both. I like both equally. The wail is better on the dance, but I think the rest of the song is better on LIB. And then of course Stevie's best 2 songs on LIB weren't on The Dance at all, Stand Back and Beautiful Child. Oh and I can't forget The Chain, that one goes to The Dance overall especially on the vocals, but LIB has the better ending guitar solo.

That whole post made me realize what an INCREDIBLE tour Fleetwood Mac could have if Stevie brought her vocals and performances she's been giving this past year, with what Lindsey always does, I'm not saying SYW Stevie is bad. Stand Back, GDW and Beautiful Child were incredible, but the rest was merely average. If she sang like she has on her recent tours alongside Lindsey's antics I can't imagine the possiblities !

We shall see in 2009...
BTW tho I didn't agree with everything you wrote in your review, it was very well written. I like the way you are very detail oriented.

I hate the way she sings that. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I can't stand it. The general love for it amazes me, year after year. It's such a great song, too, & what a shame she & the band ruin it night after night.

A live "Twisted", SN/LB style would ROCK it. It screams to be done live!

well...maybe we can hold out for "Buckingham/Nicks" tour since Stevie wont do a "Fleetwood Mac" thing without Christine. I can see them doing a tour together ala Lindsey's last solo gig. Smaller venues...you know they'd sell out. No problem there. Do maybe about 16 songs or so...

Crying in the Night
Stephanie
Gypsy
*new song*
Never Going Back Again
Crystal
Twisted
Landslide
Leather and Lace
*new song*
Frozen Love
Rhiannon (a new updated version!)
Big Love
*new song*
Say Goodbye

But that doesn't solve Stevie's problem. It isn't that she doesn't want to go on the road without Christine (she does that every year on her own). It's that she doesn't want to go on the road with Lindsey.

yeah I guess so. I didnt see it that way. Hmpf. Oh well. No more Mac then. Well, I'm sure they'll make it happen. The Dance happened. Say You Will happened...
