Tusk Tour Filmed Shows

Does anyone know how many shows from the Tusk tour were actually filmed, and which ones are circulating around? This was my favorite Mac era!

I have the Tusk Documentary which has a lot of great footage from that St Louis show, but I would love to see some more footage from later on in the tour when the look of the band started to change and the setlist as well.

I have a rare video from 1979 in Largo, MD not in the greatest quality. And I've also seen a 20/20 interview on YouTube with a LOT of footage from a show they did in 1980 (I think it was the Cleveland show, which was featured on Fleetwood Mac Live)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! If I can find anything, I'll post it on torrent sites so that all of you can download it as well!

Hello & welcome to the board!

I know there are 3 full length Tusk tour rehearsals on vid. Other than the ones you mentioned, that's it from the Tusk tour as far as I'm aware.

I only have 1 of the rehearsals, and it's on VHS. But I'm sure someone else here can help you get it via download.

I think the question referred to professionally shot (mult-camera) live shows with an audience. I haven't seen the rehearsal footage, but I assume its a amateur single camera thing --never meant for release. Is that the case?

Two of the rehearsals are single camera shoots but one is multi-camera.
I assume the band filmed the rehearsals to give themselves an idea of what the show would look and sound like.
I don't think the Largo show was intended for release either. It was probably filmed just to document it.
Also to my knowledge all the footage of the show featured in that 20/20 report has never emerged. It's possible they only filmed part of it or maybe the whole thing is in some vault somewhere. It looked amazing though.

I think one of the Ledgies actually tracked that footage to some place in Hollywood and watched it and said Rhiannon was amazing. But the place is no longer there now, so who knows where the tape is. You'd think ABC would have it in their archives somewhere.

I know that there is some concert footage and also a press conference that took place in Providence, RI on Nov 22, 1979. Some of the concert footage and an interview with both Stevie and Mick were featured on a show from back in the day called PM Magazine. I do have the show on a DVD collection.
