Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
With each passing year bringing another high-profile rock reunion, prompted as often by balloon mortgage payments as any real artistic hunger, old fans could be excused for greeting 1997's announcement that the big Mac was back with skepticism: at their commercial zenith, Fleetwood Mac had offered superb transatlantic pop-rock with the added spice of a remarkable back-story, but the band's long decline and underwhelming later personnel shifts didn't bode well.
Such guarded expectations make the musical punch of The Dance all the more impressive, and enable the meticulously produced concert special to genuinely surprise. The band's musicianship–-the one constant between the original, late '60s English blues band and its platinum '70s lineup featuring guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks–-is in peak form, buttressed by a discreet auxiliary of additional musicians. Even with the hired guns, though, it's the rock-solid rhythm section of founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, and Buckingham's impassioned playing that strike sparks. Always a dynamic guitarist, Buckingham brings feverish intensity to both group classics and solo turns such as 'Go Insane.'
Both familiar hits and new songs (including the solid 'Temporary One' and 'Bleed to Love Her') further confirm that this isn't a rote exercise-–the band sounds fully engaged. Buckingham, Nicks, and the elegant Christine McVie retain their vocal charm (although Nicks has clearly lost her upper register). And the sense of old wounds healed, and older affections acknowledged, gives true poignancy to the set's high mark, a brilliant live version of 'Silver Springs,' a truly haunting Rumours-era B-side that proves deeply moving. --Sam Sutherland

Rating:  - Absolutely incredible
I've been watching this DVD on and off for the last ten years. It still brings tears to my eyes, still makes me laugh, and still makes my heart well up. Fleetwood Mac is a phenomenon, and they prove it with this DVD. The performances are all amazing, and they are truly all at the top of their games.
I was born 30 years too late... if only to see them, Zeppelin, The Who... I guess I'll have to be satisfied with this amazing DVD. Wonderfully put together and wonderfully performed!
Rating: - Almost perfect
This is a DVD that we will probably wear out. Stunning performance, great sound (although the bass is boosted a little to much). Enjoy this one :)
Rating: - The "Mac" is Back, and Better Than Ever
After a long period apart (aside from a one-shot reunion for Bill Clinton's 1992 inauguration), the "Rumors" era line-up of Fleetwood Mac -- Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham -- reunited in 1997 and the results are breathtaking and magical. This is a group of muscians who simply get better and better with age. The opening number, "The Bridge," brings all the pieces together for a stunning beginning, with the impeccable rhythym section of John McVie ... Read More
Rating: - Fleetwood Mac "The Dance"
This is an amazing DVD. The CD is great but the DVD is amazing. If
you are a Fleetwood Mac fan this is an absolute must have!
Rating: - I watched this 52 times in two days!!!!
I have always had the "Rumours" album but I never paid any attention to them until I ran across the DVD of "The Dance." I have watched this DVD 52 times in two days and am nowhere near tired of it. Fleetwood Mac is now my favorite group. Come back, Christine McVie! You're the best!
