    Pros: easy listening, great vocals, full of energy
    Cons: none

    Jun 29, 2002
    Pros: Great sound quality for a live album, The Dance offers updates of classic FM favorites.
    Cons: "My Little Demon" doesn't quite cut it...

    Summary: When thinking about Fleetwood Mac’s The Dance, the oft-quoted Romeo and Juliet line, "My only love sprung from my only hate" runs through my mind time and time again. For three years now, this has been my absolute favorite album. But my opinion ... read more

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 25, 2002
    Pros: Ability to listen to the Dance in your car!
    Cons: Missing Gold Dust Woman, Go Insane and Songbird

    Summary: This CD is great especially if you already own the VHS or DVD or the Dance. This way, you can listen to the live album in your car or wherever. I am disappointed that they cut alot of the tracks like Gold Dust Woman, Go Insane (Lindsey Buckingham's 1984 ... read more

  • May I have this Dance?

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 25, 2002
    Pros: Great shots of each member, songs you have always loved...live.
    Cons: With VHS, you play it so much, you wear it out, get the DVD.

    Summary: This video is a must have if you are a Fleetwood Mac die-hard fan and even if you AREN'T a die-hard, but like their music. There is so much emotion in these songs, you can't help but sing along and get up to dance. Lindsey Buckingham, guitarist and lead ... read more

  • Long Live The Mac!

    Sep 10, 2001
    Pros: Great classic music
    Cons: New songs are lacking, Missing a few too many hits

    Summary: The year was 1997. One of rock’s greatest bands reunited: Fleetwood Mac--Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham. It had been 10 years since Buckingham left the band and seven years since Nicks had left. Two ... read more

  • "It'll Be Better Than Before!"

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 28, 2001
    Pros: An excellent collection of all of many of their hits, great energy
    Cons: "My Little Demon" isn't a good song

    Summary: I can't remember my folks listening to Fleetwood Mac when I was younger and until a couple of years ago, I couldn't have identified many of their songs. I started to notice them more as I began listening to a '70s station. Also, as a Bill Clinton ... read more

  • Velvet Violence, Demonic Dazzlers With Questionable Morals?!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 18, 2000
    Pros: Fun adventure, good shots of band dynamics, slick and polished, perfect to the last note.
    Cons: If you don't like Fleetwood Mac, this will make you sick.

    Summary: Maybe Fleetwood Mac never officially broke up, but they fell apart. The general favorite lineup had been the one that created "Rumours," and when that lineup was no more, Fleetwood Mac was as good as dead. Ten years later, in 1997, they had ... read more

  • Not before time

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 6, 2000
    Pros: The return of the classic line-up, fabulous reworking of Silver Springs
    Cons: New songs that won't set the world on fire, but that's a minor quibble

    Summary: Whatever the members of the band may have said at one time or other over the years, this reunion was inevitable - and welcome. After Lindsey Buckingham left the band in 1987, Fleetwood Mac's commercial fortunes suffered a fatal blow. 1990's ... read more

  • Almost perfect .. but not quite!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 23, 2000
    Pros: Good but not the greatest
    Cons: A whole dimension is missing

    Summary: Fleetwood Mac is a great band. The classic line up (McVie, Fleetwood, McVie, Nicks, Buckingham) must rank amongst the best of all time. They produced fine songs, memorable melodies, great instrumentals, superb best selling albums. Their history and ... read more

  • Return of the Mac

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 3, 2000
    Pros: Very true to the original sound, the band members are all still in their prime!
    Cons: No "Gypsy", but that's OK!

    Summary: I'm not a big fan of live CD's, so it goes without saying, I was reluctant to pick up The Dance. One morning on the radio, our morning crew was kind enough to share a few bars of the chorus from "Everywhere", as played on this album. ... read more

  • A group for everyone to enjoy

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 13, 2000
    Pros: A reunion with maturity
    Cons: If you own the rest of FM albums this cd is redundant

    Summary: Back in 1997 Fleetwood Mac announced a reunion tour. A concert I was lucky enough to attend. My husband was not quite up for the concert at first because he viewed Fleetwood Mac a band for a previous generation. You see, he is the baby in his family ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 25, 2000
    Pros: 106 minutes long; ALL the good songs; watch the chemistry unfold.
    Cons: None.

    Summary: When Fleetwood Mac reunited for "The Dance" tour in 1997, it was a monumental event--and I passed it up. At the time, I wasn't the real FM fan that I am now, so when my mom asked me if I wanted to see them live, I figured there would be ... read more

    Pros: WOW...beautiful...simply beautiful
    Cons: absolutely none

    Summary: Since Fleetwood Mac came to be a few decades back they've had all sorts of problems not uncommon to Rock stars. Stevie Nicks faced a cocaine addiction and the affair with Lindsey Buckingham created quite a problem for the band. However, through all ... read more

  • Mac Dancing - Fleetwood Style

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 10, 2000
    Pros: Substance over style
    Cons: Keep the marching band !

    Summary: In one of the most endearing collections of songs ever, this album (with the better video package), shows the power, sex and draw of Fleetwood Mac, in the post-Peter Green and blues years. You can read this as the pop years, too. I've been a ... read more

    Cons: as a live performance album, the sound quality could be better

    Summary: I will take the opportunity in this review to talk about Fleetwood Mac, the songs, and the members of the band. This band has captured my imagination like no other. The Dance was released in August, 1997 on the WEA/Warner Brothers ... read more

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 24, 2000
    Pros: Fleetwood Mac comes full circle with all guns blazing
    Cons: The live versions of "Gypsy" and "Gold Dust Woman" are conspicously missing

    Summary: Fast forward to 1997. After a series of failed albums by Fleetwood Mac, not to mention losing each member one by one, Mick Fleetwood tries one more time to woo everybody back into the fold for a reunion. It all went so well at President Clinton’s ... read more
