The Dance (3/5.03/5.03/5.03/5.03/5.0)
The Dance DVD is a really great concert
Review written by John Slivinski from Houston, Texas, August 16th, 2004

This is the best live concert I've ever had the privelege to watch on DVD. Though there are noticeable recorded background vocals, Stevie and Christie sound in top form. Stevie can't quite sing as high as she used to, but it doesn't detract. I couldn't help thinking that they sounded so good that they must have rehearsed endlessly for this concert (I'm wondering if these songs are all from the same show because there aren't really any noticeable mistakes). Lindsey Buckingham does a solo perfomance for Go Insane and Big Love that is so emotionally charged that I was blown away. He is truly one of the best guitarists in the world. He plays most of the show without using a pick, as usual. Bleed To Love Her is also my new favorite song from this disc. Landslide is another top song from the disc, and this performance will leave you with wet eyes (I was feeling like I invaded Stevie and Lindsey's privacy during this song). Every song is top quality and flawlessly perfomed. Lindsey's vocals are a little rough throughout, but it doesn't take away from any part of the show. The only song I didn't care much for was My Little Demon. They could have left this one off the disc. It just isn't up to the standards of every single other song here. If you are a Fleetwood Mac fan, and love both Christie's songs and Stevie's songs, then you have to buy this concert video. Besides their voices being WAY better than I thought possible for a live perfomance, they are both stunning to look at (Christie looks better than she did 20 years ago, no kidding). I borrowed the DVD from a friend, and decided after one viewing that I would have to purchase it. The cd from this tour isn't as good as the DVD, because it is missing 5 songs from the DVD. Though the upcoming 2003 album and Tour lacks Christie McVie (I feel this is a terrible mistake and wish Christie would have decided to do it), I will still go to see them!
