Anyone familiar with this show? The version I have is 44:00 and is not the whole show. The quality is pretty rough. Does anyone know of a better quality version of the whole show? It's obviously pro-shot. Mine is labeled 7-8-78 Largo, but Stevie announces it as Washington. We even get to see Stevie play the cowbell. lol It seems like there are many concerts filmed throughout the years at Largo. I often wonder how Largo got to record the shows and who's in possession of the master tapes. I'm thrilled with the audio recordings that FM has released over the years, but I would love some high(er) quality videos throughout their early years. Some are on YouTube, so someone has them.

Years ago I used to go to local record shows and this one vendor, who looked like they just stepped out of their trailer, had a large collection of bootleg videos for sale of a bunch of different artist. They would mass duplicate them on the cheapest video tapes known to man and create their own handwritten labels. Most of the song titles on the labels would be incorrect. A couple times I bought tapes because I thought there were songs on them that I didn't know only to get home and realize the song was "Dreams". lol But I got to say they had a lot of rare shows and I often wondered where they got them from. This is well before the internet and even DVDs. This Rumours show looks like the type of show they would sell at these shows. I bought a handful of bootlegs from this vendor over the years and was happy to get what I could, but they were copies of copies of copies.

Largo Maryland is just outside of Washington DC. It was the home of the Capital Center (I believe it was actually in Landover MD) and I believe the venue itself used to record a ton of shows (basically what was shown on the screens during the shows) and that’s why many bands have shows that have circulated for years from Largo. I doubt anyone actually owns the masters at this point and this is more of people that worked there over the years took and released the tapes.

8/7/1978 is part of the Penguin Country Summer Safari 1978 tour, kind of an extension of the Rumours tour. What surprised me was seeing Lindsey with his "Tusk/1979" haircut. At first I thought the date could be wrong, but I just found another '78 video where he's already with that haircut.
