Fleetwod Mac - The Dance


The Dance is a live performance by Fleetwood Mac, released on Cassette, CD and VHS
in 1997, and later on DVD. It hailed the return of the band's most successful line-up of Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie and Stevie Nicks, who had not released an album together since 1987's Tango in the Night. It was the first Fleetwood Mac release to top the US album charts since 1982's Mirage. This was the last Fleetwood Mac album to feature Christine McVie, who departed the group a year after the album's release. 
Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 199,000, The Dance became the fifth best-selling live album of all time in the United States, selling a million
copies within eight weeks, spending more than seven months within the top 40, and
eventually selling over 5 million copies there. The 44 date tour grossed $36 million.

Live Performance:

The concert was recorded for Fleetwood Mac's MTV The Dance special at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, California on 23 May 1997, and features the University of Southern California Marching Band who play on the tracks "Tusk" (having played on studio recording) and "Don't Stop".

Although predominantly a live greatest hits package, The Dance also features new material written by each of the primary songwriting members of the band (two from Buckingham) as well as popular album tracks. For example, "Bleed to Love Her" was a previously unreleased track when this album was released, although the song was later recorded during the "Say You Will" sessions. No tracks from the Mirage album were included on the CD, although "Gypsy" is included in the video and DVD versions.

The album cover, taken by David LaChapelle, has Mick Fleetwood recreating his pose from the cover of Rumours, the band's most successful album and Lindsey Buckingham holding the cane used on the cover of the Fleetwood Mac album.

This album spawned two singles; "Landslide" and "Silver Springs"
