US festival 1982 the US generation documentary
 
I just recently found out about this documentary it features Fleetwood Mac. I was wondering if anyone had purchased it or seen it. If so, thoughts? Do they show full performances from the bands? If so, what songs did they show for Fleetwood Mac? Are any of them the ones that got cut from the Mirage 1982 HBO thing?

EDIT: I just checked YouTube for videos from the 1982 US festival, of course they have videos of every other band performing but no Fleetwood Mac videos.

There are a lot of videos of other US festival performances on YouTube. Van Halen's entire set from the US fest is on YouTube. But not one Fleetwood Mac video.

They're probably having trouble negotiating royalties. It's always money that blocks these releases.

I know Stevie's set is online somewhere from somebodies VHS/Betamax tapes.

Whats on YT probably will disappear when the clips of artists gets released on dvd.
