Live (1980) - remastered and expanded???

depp91 · #1 11-02-2013, 01:38 AM

Yesterday I read the article on wikipedia about the 1980 live album by FM, and I found this:
"A remastered & expanded version of Live is to be released sometime in late 2013 by Rhino/Warner. A track listing for any extra tracks has yet to be announced." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_%2...d_Mac_album%29)

But unfortunately, there was no source given. Does anyone know something about this?

this probably is referring to the collection of 3 live CDs from the early 70s, and they've got their wires crossed (unfortunately)

Well, sad to know that it's not official sources yet, but if this is true and one day Rhino/Warner release a new and expanded version of Live, I hope they don't forget two essential and very important songs: THE CHAIN & TUSK. TUSK!!!!!! We're in the Tusk Tour!!!!
Regards!

Don't hold your breath on that one. There was a similar snippet about Mirage being remastered and expanded about 2 years ago and then disappeared outta nowhere and no remaster unfortunately. Long story short, Wikipedia is not a very reliable source.

And what do you know? It magically reappears

"A remastered & expanded version of Mirage is to be released sometime in early 2014 by Rhino/Warner. A track listing for any extra tracks has yet to be announced."
Lets see how long it lasts this time.

I recall something about them having 400 hours of recordings to go through when they chose the tracks for the 1980 Live album. I know this won't happen. but I wonder how many discs it would take to release all 400 hours worth?

Approx 333 (an average cd holds 70 minutes in the old days).

Wow! I just converted hours to minutes and divided by 79 (since you can get 79 minutes on a disc) and it's 303 (and change, so say 304). I dread to think what the suggested retail price for a 304 CD set would be!

I would love a soundboard recording of every Rhiannon from every Tusk Tour show.

It's probably been happening already. Somebody went through the live archives and grabbed some 1977 recordings for last year's big Rumours multi-CD set. Has anyone on the Ledge talked about that? I keep it in my car's CD player. I can't get enough of it. Those live cuts take you right back to the stadiums in summer 1977.

I got that set back in June for my birthday. I listen to the live disc all the time. Love the Intro bit a la Tusk and the live Oh Daddy, GDW, and The Chain.

More live CD's from the Mac would be awesome.
