Thanks! I wasn't sure about starting "another" play list but finding live recordings amongst all the others was getting a bit arduous.
I'm a hardcore Fleetwood Mac fan and I don't have The Dance, how is it in sound quality and liveness?
As I said in the post, I really like the SQ and performances on The Dance. It's got great sound for a live cd, probably because it wasn't recorded at a traditional big live venue but more of a studio with a small audience like in an "unplugged" style. So if you're looking for raw unrestrained big arena rocking sound this isn't it, but if you want the "you are there in the first few rows in a small venue with a polite and small audience" then this is it. You can hear all the micro details in the mix that are often drowned out by big venue audiences, and everything is clear and well pronounced. And it does rock (the drums on The Chain and Tusk make my sub woofer "dance" lol), but the overall approach is more stripped down and relaxed.
Steppenwolf - Live, 1970.
Another great classic live "raw" recording.

I like "live" that captures the essence of being there. Whether it's a intimate small club or a insane roaring packed stadium.
Rather than throwing a Fillmore East album out I thought of this one that I always enjoy. Malian guitarist Habib Koité has a live album recorded on a 2002 European tour:
Habib Koité and Bamada ~ Foly! Live Around the World
btw... Fillmore East and West produced some excellent recordings. Let's see what you like.![]()
