This is something I was thinking about today. How they sounded on every tour between 76-82 was never to be repeated again. I’ve always thought it was cool how you can tell the differences between a rumours, tusk, and mirage show almost entirely by the guitar tones and vocals.
There’s a really great audience recording of the Oakland CA Mirage show. They were really on fire that night and it made me stop and think what a shame it was that the rest of the 80s would largely be lost to drugs. It’s amazing that Tango came out as well as it did. We have Lindsey to thank for keeping that train on the tracks just long enough to make it to the station.
