Tusk Tour Filmed Shows

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.

Is that the one where Stevie talks about 'packin' up, shackin' up' and says Lindsey was only interested in sleeping with his guitar? I think I have that also somewhere, I need to look for it.

I don't remember. I know that she talks about putting her glasses on and her hair in a bun and going to the Farmer's Market.

That's what's so frustrating - knowing that this footage exists after seeing bits & pieces of it over the years, but not being able to get our hands on it.

Same with Mac's Us Fest appearance in 1982 (clips of which were shown on some news channels & I think German TV) & Stevie's 2001 benefit (which we see at the beginning of the Destiny Rules doc.) I know there's probably many more, this is all I can think of right now.

Not to mention that Tusk show from 1980 in Germany, of which we've only seen Don't Stop. The German tv station has been LESS than forthcoming with any information or willingness to send me the show. Bastards. I won't give up though.

I absolutely agree!

There were probably pro-shot shows on every tour, yet they're sitting somewhere gathering dust.
Some people like Elton John and U2 are great for releasing stuff like this. Why not the Mac? Not even major releases, just getting the stuff out there.

I used to have a video that had the entire songs Don't Stop and Songbird from Mac's '82 US Festival. I had trusted another trader to convert it onto DVD for me and never got it back though.....

luv,
