Fleetwood Mac - The Dance DVD ( 1997 )

WOW ! A GR8! Trip back in tyme but on a whole different Level!!!

This DVD was fascinating! Awesome to hear the Old tunes but even greater to see how the band has evolved into what was presented in this concert!!! Performances by all Spectacular!!!!

Many Moments captured my attention but I have to admit that “ Landslide “ and “Silver Springs” are simply Mesmerizing ! The Chemistry between Stevie and Lindsey pulls you in !

I am in awe of the talent that Lindsey Buckingham presents and have forever enjoyed watching him play. The versions on this DVD of “Big Love “ , “ Go Insane” and “ I’m so afraid “ are done with such heart that it leaves you breathless!!!

Visually Pleasing Performances that will stay with you! Highly recommended to any Fleetwood Mac Fan this one you Must not Miss!!!!! Chain Keep Us Together ******* ~ Lets Wish Forever ~! 10 Stars PLUS!!!

this is one of the best dvd's out there. they are best a great band. you won't be disappointed if you purchase this.

I like everything about this DVD. THe audio & video quality are excellent. WHy do we need at least on 100 charaters on these reviews?

Produced in 1997 by Lindsey Buckingham and Elliot Scheiner, The DVD has most of the most loved Fleetwood Mac songs of their career. Whether its Stevie Nicks and her haunting voice sounding better than ever, or the meshing of the unique spirits and styles of bandmates, Fleetwood Mac is a phenomenon. Played across the miles for the past thirty plus years, its music that our memories were set to. First kisses to "Sara" in any backseat, dancing wildly to "Don't Stop " and saying I Love You to "Landslide" or "Songbird". At many parties, it was a staple when I was a young man.

Fleetwood Mac is comprised of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks. The band wasn't even suppose to have Nicks, but they wanted Lindsey Buckingham and she was his girlfriend at the time and he would not come into it without her. She took it by storm and added her mystery and charm to its music. All have had their share of divorce, sex, drugs, and too much rock and roll or, was it the other way around? But, despite all the trouble the bandmates have shared, they came together for this reunion in 1997 for this spectacular performance.

If you loved them in the 70's, you will still love them now. A more mature sound, and more mentally together than they were 20 years ago, the lyrics seem to just come alive now. It still brings chills and yes, sometimes tears when I watch this video! You have to be brain-dead not to get that "tingly" feeling as your mind fills with the images of times gone by.

The only negative that I have which applies to many concert discs is that I've only seen it available in FULL screen format. :>(

Wow this is a great one! We really enjoyed this show. There is a warm, touching overtone as the band members have reunited and worked together to bring us a delicious taste of our 70's memories. The song selections are arranged and ordered to create an almost tangible picture of Fleetwood Mac. Solo performances by Lindsey Buckingham's fast fingered guitar work remind us that FM is one of those groups that could play 3 notes and we know instantly who they are while blindfolded. Ahhhhhh and or course Stevie Nicks soulful intensity as she moves on the stage to paint her image of the lyrics. There is an explosive crescendo in this show when the band breaks out with the pounding "Tusk". An additional surprise ensemble (that's all I want to tell you now :) marches onto the stage. Beautiful Christine McVie and her sad eyes melts my heart! She finishes the show with an absolutely "stilling" rendition of Songbird.

I am very glad that I bought this DVD.

This is a must-have for all Fleetwood Mac fans! I can't say enough about it, I really can't...

Lindsey Buckingham is one of the most awesome guitarists I have ever seen and to watch him play (he uses no pick except for the banjo) is incredible! His son My Little Demon is one that everyone should be able to relate to.

Stevie Nicks is her usual gorgeous self and puts forth a very good effort to recreate the old songs. She is awesome on all of the songs, even though I have seen her on other vids doing Rhiannon in the 70's and she totally put her all into it then, but she is still amazing! Such a joy to watch....spellbinding!

Landslide is simply scrumptious!!!!!!

Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! You will love it....I promise!

This DVD of the 1997 "The Dance" live Fleetwood Mac concert is by far one of the best! Though band members are considerably older however, they still sound excellent and perhaps in some ways, BETTER than studio recordings. If you liked earlier Fleetwood Mac than I'm certain you'll enjoy this DVD as well. Also worth mentioning is that ALL original band members in this 1997 DVD over exceeded expectations in their roles as talented performers.

I've been a Fleetwood Mac fan since about 1976 when I heard stuff off their first American made album on the radio. I happened to see this DVD as well as other FM DVD's and I thought it would be nice to have since I'd seen clips from it on YouTube. It's a very nicely done video. Very clear and clean with 22 songs on it. Mostly classic Fleetwood Mac but there are 4 new songs as well. One thing I'd like to mention is that there is a fine line at which a camera shot lingers too long and then not long enough. I guess it's a matter of personal preference but I like the camera shots to be a little longer than most that were on this video. It drives my eyes a little buggy sometimes. Other than that, the music is great the FM members look great and the stage set and lighting is pretty cool.

Audio and video were top notch. All round an excellent preformance with 2 of the best female vocalists around, not withstanding Stevie Nicks. This was a great DVD, highly recommend it to anyone, great addition to any collection.

It brings back my time. One of the best bands of all time. Two of the best voices in the business.

original!! rare!! fleetwood mac: the dance dvd concert music double-sided, w/ac-3 dolby sound, closed captioned video disc version in its orig sleeve w/artwork! excellent concert music performances! review by used1goods a ebay and half.com seller and buyer

I already owned the cd, so it was only natural to own the DVD. I love everything about this DVD! Great addition to anyone's collection.

I bought this as a gift for my NEW boyfriend. I noticed he had an old Fleetwood Mac cassette tape in his car (he's 55 yrs. old). What a great Christmas gift! He sat there mesmerized! I loved the interaction between the group members and the harmony was fantastic. There was only one song I didn't like, but he seemed to enjoy the entire DVD! Thank you!

Loved everything about it. We are interested in good concerts and like the cheaper price we pay to watch them. Fleetwood Mac put on a great redo of all of them together again in this wonderful concert.

I love this DVD! I had the concert on VHS & like to many of my other tapes are impossible to watch now that some time has gone by. Fleetwood Mac has been one of my favorite groups for years. And this is a great concert with all my favorite songs on it. There isn't anything that I don't like about it.

I have followed Fleetwood Mac for over 25 years. When I bought my first DVD player in 1997, I immediatedly purchased "The Dance" as DVD in addition to the CD. So I am definitely biased in favor of Fleetwood Mac. The DVD is excellent. I loved all the songs, but the ones I liked best were Stevie Nicks' Rhiannon and Christine McVie's Songbird. There is also a surprise when the band plays "Don't stop" which was quite fun. I was not able to attend any of the live performances promoting the album, but this DVD definitely made me feel as though I was there - in the good seats. I watch this DVD several times a year and have also downloaded the CD to my iPod. All of the songs are the best of Fleetwood Mac. I have since seen Fleetwood Mac live and Stevie Nicks live, but I still consider this DVD as my favorite. If you are a Fleetwood Mac fan, this is a must addition to your collection.

This is not only an awesome band... this is thier music at it's best.

Modern technology and the events production leaves you breathless... not a single nuance or detail of these timeless songs are left unrealized.

An audio as well as visual experience that will fondly convey the memories and or events from your life that took place when "Fleetwood Mac" was at the height of their popularity and dear to your heart.

I have wanted this dvd for years and I was so thrilled with it. Fleetwood Mac are still my favorite group.

Could not use the DVD because of an incorrect "region code"...Check correct region codes for your area before you purchase DVD's. US is region code is #1 and will only play region code #1 in the USA on your US DVD player. Seller was GREAT to deal with!

Fleetwood Mac has always been one of my all-time favorite bands ever since Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham joined the group in 1975 and they caught my attention with the release of the Stevie Nicks' classics "Rhiannon" (The White Album - 1975) and "Dreams" (Rumours - 1977). Out of all the Fleetwood Mac songs there are, those two remain my favorites. I've only seen the band live twice, the second time being their 1997 "The Dance" tour (Christine McVie's "swan song." A major loss for the band). So, since this concert was Christine McVie's last, and since you get the "best seats" when watching a band filmed live on video, buying the DVD of "The Dance" was a no-brainer! Sorry to see you go, Christine! I bought the band's 2004 live concert DVD set they did without you. Always entertaining, but not quite the same.
