Wow thanks for posting and writing all that information. Curious why they picked the Don't Stop sound check where Lindsey breaks a guitar string at the end. You hear his guitar at the end sound like he breaks a string and then Christine says...You broke a string, didn't you.
I love all the songs but Dreams. And I like all live Dreams performances. You can tell it was recorded during the Rumours tour because Stevie is sort of dramatic singing it and that drives me crazy. She usually does not sing like that but it sounds like a karokee version of the song

Best live performances of Rhianon, Sara, Oh Well, Over My Head, and I'm So Afraid. I'm So Afraid is probably one of the best live performances ever for the Mac on this album. But the real treat of the album is Over and Over. To include a song from Tusk that was not a single was a great idea but the harmonies live at the end are really something.

I'll echo that thank you! I've always wondered when these were done and could only find the locations. I'm surprised that Oh Well was done on the Tusk tour. For whatever reason, I can't picture Tusk era Lindsey performing this.

Speaking of breaking a string, it always amazes me when a guitarist is able to continue on after doing so. There's that video of GYOW in Australia 1977 where Lindsey breaks a string and just continues on with the song. I just think of the fast thinking you have to do to be able to continue on and applaud the guitarist for being able to do so.

For those wondering about Sara recorded at St Louis, I think it is not the same performance of the Tusk documentary since the band performed two nights at the Checker Dome, the 5th and the 6th of November.

It was conveniently "ready" for this rush job live album. The Dreams and Don't Stop videos had already been filmed for promos. And the Cleveland concert had been filmed, too—it was used in the ABC 20/20 program. And of course Sara and Oh Well from St. Louis were filmed, too.

I forgot that the Tokyo gig was filmed—that takes care of Monday Morning.
