Lightbulb October: Tusk 30th Anniversary!

(Okay, so this might sound dumb, but what was the actual date of the release of this album?
On here, it says October 12th. On Wiki, it says October 19th.
That would be our first item of business to clear up.)

The 30th anniversary of Tusk is this month!!
We should do something... what, I don't know haha -- listening party, perhaps? Or is that lame?
I'm sure we could all use an excuse to listen to Tusk for hours on end!

What a glorious day the 12th (or 19th) will be. I'm going to not shut up about it all day. People will start to hate me.

YAYYYY TUSK!

Yeah, it shows how dumb there marketing skills were back than too......with this re-release of Rumours again thats all of a sudden disappeared......they make no sense to me at all nor do Stevie's solo camp either....stupid .......IMO........they really could 'DO' so much......esp with the Web now.....besides us losing as fans....well they lose too......oh well.....

Rolling Stone, 10-9-09:


http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdail...30/#more-14260
We just glanced over at the calendar and realized in just over a week Fleetwood Mac’s masterpiece Tusk will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Sure, Tusk wasn’t (and still isn’t) as successful or acclaimed as its predecessor Rumours, but this perfectly flawed double vinyl has a special place in our hearts, and to celebrate, this week’s Flashback features Stevie Nicks’ “Angel” as it appeared onstage in the 1979 Tusk documentary. As Stephen Holden wrote in his Rolling Stone review of Tusk, “In its fits and starts and restless changes of pace, Tusk inevitably recalls the Beatles’ White Album, the quirky rock jigsaw puzzle that showed the Fab Four at their artiest and most indecisive.”

Glad others appreciate Tusk as much as I do. It really was/is an exceptional album with it's own unique blend of songs. Tusk will always be close to my heart.

Default Rolling Stone Remembers Tusk

Flashback: Fleetwood Mac’s “Tusk” Turns 30

Bonus Flashback: The USC Trojan Marching Band, the stars of “Tusk,” perform the title track live — without Mac — on the 1979 year-end episode of Solid Gold, hosted by Dionne Warwick and Glen Campbell. Watch it below:

Only SOME of the songs from the Live album were "culled from the tour to back it"...a few others were actually recorded in 1977 ("Dreams", "Rhiannon", "Don't Stop") and as early as 1975 ("Don't Let Me Down Again").

Still OK to enjoy it on the anniversary, right?

It's just that 14 is not usually a marker or milestone. Now, next year, when Time is 15 years old, the big ONE FIVE, you can bet the world will be all over the celebration!
