Tusk Australia Shows - Help me sort this mess out.
Ok so here's the dealio - I think I may have just discovered another Tusk Australia show that has been in existence, and I'm sure some of you have, but due to some errors has been mislabled etc.
As far as I know there is the Melbourne show from 3/11/80 that is also mislabled as the Melbourne 3/3/80 show. The reason I know it is the 3/11 show is b/c before Songbird Christine says "this is the fourth show in the last ten days here so I hope you are not getting bored with us." She says the same thing in the show labeled as 3/3. The show labeled as 3/11 is TAO and has louder sound than the 3/3 show. So, I think that is pretty clear, but now my confusion turns to the Sydney shows. At first I thought that there was only one Sydney show in existence so when I recently traded for an upgraded copy, I compared it with the copy I already had and discovered that they are indeed different. First, both shows I have are labeld as 3/15. However, these are some of the differences I noticed in both shows: Sydney#1: Before WMYTYTO Lindsey says "We're going to try some new songs from the Tusk album and, you know, who cares." This is not present in the Sydney #2 show. Before GYOW Lindsey says "Sydney, this is our last city before we move on." Sydney #2: Before GYOW Lindsey says: "Sydney we'd like to thank you, this is our last stop in Australia for several years." When he starts playing he screams "come on you f**cking Jackies (?) stand up." This is not present in the Sydney #1 show. Sydney show #1: Before Songbird Christine says "I hope you're not going to go home with ear damage, we're pretty loud." This is not present in Sydney #2. Sydney show #2: Before Songbird Christine says, "Like Lindsey said, this is the last concert we're doing in Australia for a long time." Also, the Sydney #2 show I have begins with WMYTYTO while Sydney #1 is a complete show. So anyway, I think that show #2 is actually the Sydney 3/17/80 show because of Christine's & Lindsey's comments about it being their last show in Australia. So does anyone know if the Sydney 3/17/80 show does in fact exist? I just found it strange that nobody had it listed on their sites.

Now, the thing is, I HAVE an audio cassette of another Sydney show that I got years ago from some guy in Long Island who sold me literally a shoebox full of fm concerts for like $5. Anyway, too lazy to check that cassette upon downloading this "other" show, I thought maybe the "3/15/80" online was indeed the same show as the tape I had. However, upon listening, that version didn't quite sound like the tape i had listened to a LOT several years ago. the in between song chatter was different, in particular.... So I concluded that they were two different nights without even listening to my cassette again. Right after reading this thread, I dug out the tape and it is indeed labeled "3/17/80." I didn't play it....just seeing the label was enough proof to me that the version online is a different night. And, your transcriptions of some of the banter within the two shows sounds exactly like what i have. Lindsey's comments about the "Jackies" totally brought it all home. And, the 17th i have is the complete show....and the better one, IMO. The sound quality is the same on both. I think the same guy must've recorded them. So, I guess that's a long way of saying...yes, this show is out there. Hope this makes sense! Last edited by joe; 05-01-2005 at 10:14 AM.. |

Joe, you should think about having your cassettes (especially any of them that aren't already out in the trading community) converted to disc... Have you considered asking Brian J. if he'd be willing to do it for you? I can't speak for him, but I'm sure he'd be interested. Just a thought... Cause I know I wouldn't mind a copy of the 3/17

i will listen and compare the 2 shows....just not now. i've got too much work to finish for graduation this month. when that's over, i'll start listening!
my 3-17 show may in fact be an audience recording, albeit a good one at that. as i said before, i'm not 100% as i haven't listened to it in years. i can convert the show to cd, no problem. cripe, i've got enough software choices to do that. |

So where could a local Aussie like myself pick up one of these shows on CD ????

The 3/17/80 Sydney show was also the last show right before they went to New Zealand. Wasn't it in New Zealand where Lindsey supposedly kicked Stevie and was mocking her on state etc? I actually wonder if Lindsey's uncalled for behavior began at the 3/17 Sydney show?? If you listen to it, Lindsey sings WMYTYTO really obnoxiously. And right before the song he's like "who cares," just kind of being a d**k. Then during Landslide where Stevie takes the pause after "snow covered hills", he starts playing some weird guitar part that is really fast and rockin' (sort of) that I have never heard before. Makes me think he was deliberately trying to be annoying. Anyway, those are just my thoughts.

I know it's fashionable to ascribe all sorts of sinister motives to these guys when stuff like this occurs onstage, but it's generally people who don't play an instrument who do this. These people see all sorts of Grand Drama in every little gesture up there on the stage, & they never stop to consider that it takes a certain amount of concentration just to get the chords played correctly on your instrument -- there's less opportunity than you think to carry out some sort of mysterious "acting out" to bandmates, this sort of temperamental communication that is alleged to be going on all the time. What happens is that playing & singing the same stuff night after night for months on end, you do whig out a bit, & that can express itself in dozens of ways, both harmless & harmful to the show. Stevie has always talked the most about the "emotion" of being onstage & the "relationships" & "interaction," but of course she doesn't play an instrument, so it stands to reason that she's always had more opportunity to conceptualize grand onstage dramas. But even she doesn't do it half as much as fans do.

I actually thought the same thing. Lindsey was apparently very uninhibited at this point. I actually thought that he had definately tipped the bottle in Sydney, ESPECIALLY at the 17th show. Listen to his comments. It's a bit out of character for him. So, it makes sense that something happened in New Zealand that culminated in pissing the band off. Maybe it wasn't such a grand spectacle that's described in Mick's book, but it doesn't seem that far from the truth. Quote:
There's another "Landslide" where Lindsey changes his part and I thought it sounded really beautiful. It's towards the end. It's on one of the Rumours soundboards. I'm thinking Little Rock. Last edited by joe; 05-07-2005 at 09:52 AM.. |
