Summary: Healing begins @ ~~The Dance~~
Review: Take 5 eager/artistic rock musicians - bring them together in a studio and unleash them - the result is solid gold masterpieces. Take the same group of eager/artistic rock musicians - rake them over the public a few years - relying on ingested chemicals to keep them going in order to keep the public happy - and the result is abused musicians - no good to their audience but mostly no good to themselves - if they are strong enough they will survive - if they are not ..... Now - take these broken abused musicians -extract the chemicals - - give them a few years to rest and heal - come to life - and the result is Healing. Bring these musicians together on stage when they are ready to begin again - and unleash them once more - the result is - ~~~~~ The Dance ~~~~~ ! i wept tears of joy as i watched this healing unveil before my eyes as i watched FM join together as one for the first time - such love filled the stage. So much energy flows from Christine - Mick - John - Lindsey and Stevie that it is very hard to sit still and watch this video! It was as if the healing was completed as a whole as soon as they hit the stage. i would strongly recommend this video to all FM fans! ~Legends - Poets - Priests of Nothing~ So VERY TIMELESS!

Summary: --- disappointed ---
Review: I bought, for the 1st time in my life, two DVD musicals "Hell Freezes Over, Eagles" and this one. I love FM but this DVD is soooooo disappointing, I was considering return it --- the video is dull and the audio is simply unprofessional and unforgivable !!

I rate the Eagles' DVD 100 stars !!!! go get that one.......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This DVD will make your friends jealous!
Review: That's simply unbelievable! I'm definitely not a fan of Fleetwood Mac and you would be ashamed of me if I told you that the only 2 songs of Fleetwood Mac I liked before were "Everywhere" and "The Seven Wonders", the latter being not on the DVD.

That said, I was really intrigued by the other reviews and, baffled, I decided to give it a chance. Ooooh, I wish I had more inspirations like this one!!!

In this concert, shot in the premises of Warner Bros Studios, the band reunited to give the audience the best, the *very* best of themselves, humanly speaking. The old songs are all performed in a new version, giving them an emotional power they didn't have before. Fleetwood Mac also plays stupendous unpublished works, including instrumentals and brand-new songs, which proves that Fleetwood Mac is as sparkling as in the past and, in my opinion, even more sparkling than ever!

Look at Mick Fleetwood! Yeh... look at him! Have you ever seen an old timer like him playing the drums with so much pleasure, conviction and dexterity? I bet that from the very first song ("The Chain"), you'll know what I mean.

Lindsey Buckingham is really impressive. He plays several guitars and even the banjo in the concert and it's a delight to watch him juggling with the notes. You'll be very likely amazed by his solo performance in "Big Love" and "Go insane".

And especially, don't watch the grand finale of "I'm so afraid" with a friend at home. If he falls on the terrific instrumental duet between Mick and Lindsey, his first idea might well be to get the hell out of your house with your DVD in the pocket!!

As for Stevie Nicks, she still has her angel voice. She's very convincing when she sings, because her tone and pitch always match the lyrics but never in an exaggerated way. You'll also notice that she dances like a bird flies, it's so light and aerial. You'll also appreciate Stevie's cheerfulness. When she talks to the public, she sounds so happy to see you there that you really sympathize with her feelings. Why, it makes you feel good!!

I read some reviews saying that Christine Mc Vie had lost the magic of her voice after all these years. Maybe. But I don't care. It is perhaps a pitch lower but she knows how to master it and that's why Christine and her voice will seduce you a long time yet. Just listen to her version of Everywhere: isn't that cute?

Her ex-husband John, because he plays the bass, stays more in the background. That said, he's a great support for Lindsey and shows his great sense of humour when Christine tries to force him to sing with the whole band in "Say You Love Me".

The songs are all absolute gems. Yet you may have difficulties to tackle "My Little Demon", because the tune and the words are weird! I learnt to like it and understand it (a lot of Lindsey's songs have a context related to his life) and I no longer skip it now. Expect a surprise at the end of the concert and don't forget to savour the conclusion song, offered by Christine. You'll be so upset that you'll be mad at them for leaving so soon.

The quality of the DVD is excellent! The sound, Dolby 5.1 or PCM Stereo, is perfect. The picture is clear and flawless. My God, how did they do that?!

You want to be forgiven by your wife? Offer her this DVD! You want to be spoilt by your granny? Ask her this DVD!

Whatever the way you'll get it, watch it in the evening. "It's going to be a special night for us", Stevie Nicks said. For you too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have even for the mediocre Fleetwood Mac Fan.
Review: This is without a doubt the best Music DVD I have seen, even my wife liked it (and she doesn't particularly like Fleetwood Mac). Lindsey Buckinghams voice has changed since the Rumours album days, but the overall effect is the same. I would recommend this DVD to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun -- and Educational -- for the Whole Family
Review: My sons, who are both elementary school age, love this concert. The hooks are Tusk -- with its stunning inclusion of the USC marching band -- and the close-ups of Mick Fleetwood, who has inspired my boys to assemble home-made drum kits out of anything they can find. Every time we watch this, they pepper me with questions about how songs are written, what bass guitarists do, who decides which instrument plays when, why singers have different parts in a song, and so on. Who would have thought that this DVD would have made this impression? It's a tribute to the production values that the children always know exactly what's going on and who's doing what. And the sound quality is terrific!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lindsey Buckingham is awesome here!
Review: Fleetwood Mac was always a little too poppish for my liking, with just a few songs I considered really good. I took a chance on the DVD and am now a big fan. L Buckingham blew me away. Excellent work by all band members, but LB made it worth the money. I'd give a nut to be able to sing and play guitar that well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Wonderful
Review: To many people, Fleetwood Mac is synonymous with one name: Stevie Nicks. And while her talent as a singer, songwriter, and performer are undeniable.. there is another name that comes to my mind... Lindsey Buckingham. This video is a spectacular showcase of his prowess as a vocalist and musician.. and proves that he only gets better with age. His voice, once high pitched and at times almost feminine, has gained a deepness to it that does far greater justice to his songs than ever before. Those people who only bought the CD are missing out on the best song of the set: "Go Insane" (one of five songs not included on the CD). Originally a dance track from his 1984 solo album of the same name, here it is stripped down to expose the heartache that was once hidden behind catchy beats. It is just him and his guitar and it will leave you breathless. Other stand out performances are "The Chain", "I'm So Afraid", "Bleed to Love Her", "Big Love", and "Go Your Own Way". It is easy to see why Buckingham's fans, and even many people who dismiss Fleetwood Mac as pure pop, consider him to be one of the greatest and most underrated guitarists alive today. And here you see him at his best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Older - but even better!
Review: I first saw this concert on TV. I couldn't believe it. These people have gotten better with age! They finally seem to have grown up and are all getting along, clearing the way for perhaps their best performance ever! No cracking voices or off-pitch notes here. Christie, Lindsey, Mick - awesome! Like they never took a break! Great to watch periodically as a reminder of what music - and performing music should be like.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is definitely the way to hear a concert!
Review: I already had the CD and VHS, but the DVD puts them to shame. All the old favorites are here (they left some of them off the CD)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A gem to add to my collection!
Review: I have been a fan of Fleetwood Mac music but have never seen them perform, a few comments:

-Could Lindsey Buckingham be any more intense, passionate and into the performance

-Could Christine McVie be any more beautiful and sound so wonderful

-Could Mick Fleetwood be anymore over the top in his passion and enjoyment of playing with the band.

I really love this DVD and Fleetwood Mac's performance!
