Besides this song being my anthem for my spouse, I've always loved it! Everytime I see Jonathan play the bass, I think about my son, who taught himself how to play the bass & guitar. Maybe, he'll be the next Jon or Lindsey? I enjoy hearing this song because of the wonderful memories I had in the past. It's motivating. I watched when Fleetwood Mac went to the Grammys here and England for this song. I always wondered if Lindsey was wearing a long black coat in one of the Grammys?
Saw this video on Youtube and ordered "The Dance" DVD the next day and had it in hand 4 days later. Best recorded live version of this song available anywhere. Had to have it. This song along with Dreams had special meaning for me - similar situation.
WOW. Go to a concert and a jam session breaks out. That`s what makes live music so much more powerful. Everybody in the Band really looked like they enjoyed playing this one. Lindsey and Stevie eying each other at one point during of the Chorus was interesting to say the least. WELL DONE MATES........
Oh, God! Lindsey is AMAZING! I like how his guitar is designed. It's ergonomically just right for his body. He can press it close without it digging into him. I've got to think that was custom-made. I've seen earlier vids with him with a different, more clunky axe. He go it so stream-lined. Nice design!
@cubswin3838 Not exactly custom built but he did commission Rick Turner to design it for him. Anyone can buy one though I'd love to have one if I was rolling in cash right now
Caught this concert in Phoenix, me, and my Daughter (ice cold beer, on the grass, and free tickets she won at work, even better) in the middle of the show, Mick put on a vest, which turned out to be an electronic drum set, and went nuts on stage for about 10 min.. Awesome!!! The old man is still an artist with the sticks!!!
lindsay buckingham is so underated listen carefully you people who dont know nothing about guitars on ''Big Love'' he is playing a base line and picking the lead chords at the same time insane!!!!
Stevie hurt this song. She blotted out Christine's delicate voice and tried to compete for the volume with Lindsay. This was HIS song and she tried to take over. Diva WAY out of control.
@cubswin3838 dude, the song is written in direct reference to her! if she wanted to go absolutely nuts during it, not that she did here in the least, she should be allowed to! Its called artistry! P.s. I agree with gnads
@cubswin3838 Stevie sang harmony in the second verse with Lindsey. Lindsey and Stevie sang the melody in the chorus while Christine sang harmony. I think they complimented each other very well here.
That's what I call a great band. Drums, base guitar player, singer, with back-up vocals, all getting "DOWN", on a classic song. Just let the vibes & show carry you away. My fav all time,Fleetwod Mac #.
@taurus2leo That's what makes their music so amazing though, they sing the songs with meaning because they are so deeply personal. But I agree you can feel the tension and unspoken words haha.
Lindsey Buckingham, along with Richie Sambora is the most underrated guitarist of all-time. That is why they are two of my all time favourites! Love the Song, Love this Performance! GREAT JOB!! :)
Gotta love them, they know what music is all about! I hope all you FM fans have the chance to see them live, if not, these videos almost make you feel like you were there
Performances like these are what music is all about, its not money, its about getting out there and having fun, the crowd picks up on the vibe you put out, if you're having fun they will too.
its great to se after all these years that they still got it together such a great band i know they been going through personal problems over the years..they can still rock
this is probably one of the best sounding concert dvd's i own! the performance is just awesome on all the songs on the disc! highly recommended if your a fan! and yes gemmalah22, i agree that lindsey is the man. awesome guitar player!
This is a very good performance of a great song, but for some reason they have never been able to capture, live on stage, the anger and intensity of the original studio version. In this case, I think it's the tempo. This version is somewhere in the neighborhood of 116 bpm, while the original studio version is closer to 126. It just doesn't have the driving urgency of the original.
@imsuperpeter --- No doubt he is! I'm a drummer too and played this in cover bands. The beat and changing rhythms make this a really fun song to play. Get into a righteous groove with your bass player and its almost better than sex!
I attended their reunion tour after this album was released. Best concert ever, hands down, partly because they seemed so thrilled to be playing together for a live crowd, as they are here. It was a truly joyful event for them and the audience.
Maaan, I remember watching this on PBS of all channels back in the late 90's, I had a set of 12" Pioneer floor speakers and they just belted out sweet music. I've always had a thing for Fleetwood Mac but this particular concert rests fondly in my memories. It's really too bad the use of high definition video cameras wasn't really practical back then...
Doesn't it kinda bring a tear to your eye when you notice Lindsey's actually singing to Stevie Nicks? Remember they got divorced during the making of this album. :\
@AllHailHelms Broke up, not divorce; the two were never legally married. You are thinking of Christine McVeigh and her husband in the band as they were the ones who did divorce......
bloody superb, lindsey is/was a legend on the guitar and the whole of the mac together is a joy to behold..every single track on the dance is superb!!!
@Matthew9966, @weezadam Have you guys ever seen Steve Morse at his prime? Probably the greatest guitar picker ever. Check out Dixie Dregs - The Bash (Live 1978) 1:00 - 2:00 here on Youtube. He's unbelievable.
IT FUCKING BLOWS MY MIND! I'M SITTIN IN MY PAJAMAS ON MY COMPUTER STILL DANCING BY MYSELF TO THIS SONG AND I DO EVERY TIME HOW COULD THEY NOT!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!
So many good number on this concert. This was just one of the peaks!
