Fleetwood Mac - The Dance

Fleetwood Mac's 1997 reunion could have been the kind of event that works on video--great concert, after all--but ends up not paying off in repeated listenings on CD. But The Dance, while concentrating on the group's '70s and '80s triumphs, finds the Mac energy running high and impassioned. New songs like "Temporary One" and "Bleed to Love Her" are fine additions to the canon, while "Everywhere" and "Say You Love Me" both breeze along the way you remember them and manage a reinvention in the live setting. The dark side of the vision is accounted for with Lindsey Buckingham's crazed solo "Big Love," but best of all is "Silver Springs," wherein Stevie Nicks tears the roof off the sucker and sets fire to the rubble. --Rickey Wright Amazon.com essential recording

 Nostalgia

This album is definitely worth it for fans of Fleetwood Mac. I would think that most fans would be quite sceptical of bands getting back together but the only hint that you get of a separation is a softness and maturity in sound. This may come from new ideas and experiences. On the whole a very enjoyable trip down memory lane. December 18, 2007

 The Third Time is a Charm!!
This is how much I love this album; I bought it twice in a month on cassette when it first came out because my first copy got stolen. Don't think that I wasn't furious about that. Now I'm finally purchasing it on CD. I've loved Fleetwood Mac since junior high school in the 70s. They rarely disappoint. Is it considered sacreligious to say that I love this album more than "Rumours"? Stevie Nicks still rocks after all these years and age doesn't seem to be slowing anyone in the group down. The songs on "The Dance" are timeless and still bring back wonderful memories from my formative years. The current rendition of "Rhiannon" is my absolute favorite. It feels the way it is meant to feel: mystical and haunting. After nearly a decade, this is still a CD that I recommend to anyone who doesn't have it already. December 18, 2007

 Wonderful live versions from a classic band.
This is the second time that I bought this cd. The copy I originally bought when it was first released began to skip, so I had to get a new one. I often do not enjoy live albums, but this is the exception. It is the next best thing to being at the live show. Wonderful mix of both old and new songs. November 26, 2007

 good old mac
I hadn't listened to Fleetwood Mac in many years, although Rumors was a big part of my personal soundtrack in 78-80. I bought this for "Silver Springs", a truly beautiful song which I was not surprised to learn could and should have been a track on Rumors. Anyway, I was amazed how wonderful they sound in this live performance ,20 years after their heyday.A definite must have for even a casual Mac fan

 Bringing in 2 new generations
I was born in 1980, but i remember my mom listening to Fleetwood Mac when I was a kid. When this concert came on TV she watched it, and being that I was in a marching band, I was captivated by the addition of the marching band at the end of the concert. We bought the DVD and CD and I must have watched and listened to it over and over and over again. Fast forward to 2007. I was borrowing my mothers car, and this CD was in the CD player. My Little Demon came on, and my 7 y/o son asked me to turn it up. We listened to that song repeatedly for the 30 minute car ride. My mothers CD has some scratches in it (she's actually on her 3rd or 4th copy since that first one), so here I am buying one for my son and I. April 28, 2007
