I love this video but it does have some very bad edits. I had both versions
of this, one on VHS the other on Laser Disc. The more expensive Laser Disc
version looked and sounded better (different mix?), but had less songs than
the VHS version! :distress:

Christine didn't sing any of her hits from the White Album. She sang her best song from Tusk, except you would have thought if she was gonna pick a song from Tusk it would have been her hit single Think About Me. She sang three of her Rumours songs and two of her Mirage songs.

You would think for the rediculous price they charged for those things that they would have more goodies than a video had to offer. Instead you got less. How unfair.

For these types of releases/broadcasts, the entire show is filmed/taped. Then they go back and edit and decide what songs are in and others get left on the "cutting room floor."

Therefore, the entire 2 nights of these LA Mirage shows exist in some vault somewhere, as well as the 2 nights of St Louis 1979 Tusk shows...and so on...

There was a similar problem with the two releases -- VHS & laser disc -- of the Christine McVie concert. Slightly different track lists: one with a few more live tracks & the other with the concept videos in place of the live tracks. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Yep.

And, somewhere in some vault is the entire UC Santa Barbara show from May 1976...of which only "I'm So Afraid" & "Over My Head" (and bits of "World Turning") are seen in the Rosebud promo video. I'd love to see THAT entire show released someday. They did a KILLER version of Danny's "Sunny Side Of Heaven" to open their set---and, to add to the "vibe", just coincidentally, a 737 was taking off from Santa Barbara airport and was over head in the near background (with the Santa Barbara Mountains in the far background) of a blue sky just as the song started. The timing of the jet's takeoff couldn't have been more coordinated with the song if they'd actually planned it.

i'm doing the bow on the live album.... i listened to them last nite!

That's interesting that they would splice right in the middle of a song. I wish I had this video so I could watch and catch that.:nod:

Ive always thought this tour was the mac at its performing finest. Its so disappointing that the entire show has never been released in stellar quality. no doubt it would sell, especially if people knew the quality of the performances. especially with a tour in 2009, and a new album coming out, it might be good to do what Lindsey did with Live at Bass Performance Hall and release this show with better edits, in full length. Get the non-ledgies pumped!

I guess I can dream right???

Ahhhhh...the cutting room floor stuff.....I wish we could get to see some of that stuff. Can you see the drool running down my chin just thinking about it?!

It's hard for me to decide, but I think I prefer the high points of the previous tour to the high points of this tour. I do actually believe the band was tighter, more together, in the latter months of Tusk, but things were humming at this point, too -- no getting around it. Chris McVie was on top of the game on boards (she's virtually indistinguishable from the previous tour to this one), but Mick had a more metronomic wallop for Tusk, & Lindsey I think is really where the greatest discrepancy lies.

I was always disappointed that the shows planned for filming weren't the best performances -- but then it's almost impossible to know beforehand just when you're going to rise to the occasion. If only (with 20/20 hindsight) they had filmed Detroit on Sept. 19 or Irvine on Oct. 18 -- shows in which everything clicked so beautifully: band, audience, pacing, &c.

They don't levy taxes on dreams ... yet. ;)

Well, if I recall, those two nights at the GW Forum were make up shows for earlier postponements due to Stevie's health/voice.

Yes, Lindsey's guitar tone was more generic & unpleasant during the Mirage tour...almost as if he was using some sort of solid state distortion device (giving his tone a real "buzzy" sound) rather than the warmer overdriven tones of a good British tube (valve) amp, that he'd been using on earlier tours. I'd agree with David that those final days of the Tusk tour were probably some of the "higher" points of the bands' performances. Although, I don't think they ever sounded better (read: tighter & more dynamic) than they did during the mid-summer of 1977.

Hi chiliD: What a total shame that the 'full' Mirage concert isn't released on DVD yet...total shame. Same for the full 'Tusk' concert....or the Tusk Doc..still not released on DVD with extras....Same for HBO special for Stevie...this should be the complete concerts as well.....with extras too....I don't understand what they are waiting for?? Makes totally no sense to me period. Same with all of FMac's videos should be released on a compliation as well.....Don't they realize what an opportunity they have...same with re-issue cds of 'Live'/Mirage/Tango/Mask with extras?? Makes no sense really to me.....I'll have to really watch that video again sometime....I did always notice how when Stevie sang SOTM at the end...during the band sort of solo...it gets cut short...when Stevie is dancing in front of Mick with the cow bell....it just ends up cutting right to the Mic and Stevie's at it.....it must have been totally awesome...what a waste.....how sad.....
Someone mentioned the Detroit show....wow I'd have loved to seen that...other than having the sound board recording....that would've been like awesome to have had it on video......:shrug::thumbsup:

I agree with you and I'm sure all the other members of this board feel the same way. As far as "what are they waiting for?", I think they're waiting on all of us to get too old to care. :mad:

But it's the same with many other artist, Elvis Presley for example. His last two movies were concert documentaries, "That's The Way It Is (1970)" and "Elvis On Tour (1972)". There is more on the "cutting room floor" from these movies than has been released to date. The Elvis boards on the net are full of complaints about this footage not being released.

BTW, I think my laserdisc version of Mirage had "Rhiannon" edited out... what tha..!?!?!?
