The Dance is a live album by Fleetwood Mac, released in 1997. 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 a decade earlier. 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 (Fleetwood Mac has since announced a new album featuring McVie to be recorded in 2015), who left 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 6,000,000 copies worldwide. The DVD version has been certified 9x platinum in Australia for selling 135,000 copies. The 44 date tour grossed $36 million.
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 perform on the tracks "Tusk" (having played on the original 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 a studio recording of the song was later included on the Say You Will album. 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, Rumours' predecessor.
This album spawned three singles; "Landslide", "The Chain" and "Silver Springs", and earned the band 3 Grammy nominations in 1998, in the categories "Best Pop Album", "Best Rock Performance by a Group or Duo" for "The Chain" and "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" for "Silver Springs".

You may need to Update your PC software so it can playback Hevc x265 Files,
Unless you are trying to play it back on an old Pentium III .. lol
A Core Duo or better is recommended, with the latest Codec Package and
or Media players installed that support Hevc playback.
Your Humax or USB Port on your Tv etc..etc.. will not be capable of playing
such new technology yet, but in the future playback support will be widespread, it just takes time for it to filter through to the Consumer.
You may recall that this was also the case with nearlly all the Video Codecs
that we have become accustomed to using today, like AVC x264 etc..etc...
Here is a list of Media players with links to them, you do not need all of them,
the list is there to provide you with variety so that you can chose the player that suits you ...
Note: Please be wary of any extra bloatware that may be incorporated into any of the installers,
which normally comes with a few extra boxes that are pre-ticked at some point during the install process, but if you untick those boxes you can skip the Bloatware, which is what you really want anyway ?? True?
