This show has been floating around for years in two forms.

The older version has always been poor quality both in sound and picture.

The second one appeared about 6 years ago and was obtained
from a stock footage house, which one I'm not sure. I've owned the first one since the late 80's. I got a copy of the second version about 6 years
ago when I borrowed a copy from a friend and converted it to DVD.

He said his copy came from the person who got it from the stock footage house.

Which means his copy was two generations away from the master, assuming the stock footage house has the master. Anyway you look at it was a major upgrade to the copy that had been floating around.

Now for the bad news, being this comes from a stock footage house this video is branded with the "For Screening Only" tag. Although this sucks its
not as bad as you think. Its not really that distracting and is worth
overlooking since the quality upgrade is so high. So until someone comes
up with a version without the branding this is the best copy you'll see.

Between Station Man and Spare me a Little there is a beeping tone for about
ten seconds and then Spare me a little fades in very little to no music is missed.

Also the end of hypnotized is cut, maybe 1 0r 2 seconds of music is lost.(This
is the same on both copies of this show that I own)

As for the show itself its top flight. A nice rare glimps into Fleetwood Mac
at the begining of the Buckingham/Nicks era. Although this is my least
favorite version of Fleetwood Mac up to this point you can see that Stevie and Lindsey breathed new life into the band after all of the turmoil of 1974.

Enjoy!

Trade Freely and Do Not Sell this Video!
