Yes but they are just few songs. I don't understand why they don't release more The Dance songs on YT in HD.

Because they've always sucked at business. They even hired that idiot drummer as their manager once!

The alternative would have been exponentially worse. They recorded Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, and Tusk under Mick’s tutelage. I doubt the last two could have been made if Stevie and Irving had been pulling the strings. Fleetwood Mac really hasn’t had a masterpiece since Tusk.

Their egos shouldn't have been out of control until post Rumours, so I disagree.

Never Irving of course! But if they had had a manager with a Brian Epstein's conflict management skills, the story would have been different. Mick may have had an approach to the band's whims, but his accounting skills were a disaster and the trigger was the small profits after the Tusk tour. So it was logic they looked for different managers in 1982.
