Unearthed Live at the 1982 Us Festival Videos

Its pure rock concert greatness in excesses of the 80's. I have always said that 1982 was an end of an era for the Mac. This clip is a rock concert. Nothing like this would ever happen again. This was before back ground singers, programmed keyboards, and additional musicians. Its sloppy and spontaneous. Its rock concert goodness. Sadly today the music is precisely like the studio version because of technology and its so rehearsed. This is raw and its fantastic. The Mac was never the same again after this tour.

Thank you sisternightroad for finding this gem. I loved it in all its rawness.Please dear God allow more live Fleetwood Mac videos to resurface from the years 1975-1982. Especially the live Rhiannon's from the Tusk tour!

Actually I've seen it on Danielle's Stevie and FM Blog/Facebook Page.

Later this year also the Us Festival Documentary with FM full set should come out, let's hope it doesn't get delayed.

I remember seeing on the Facebook page that only The Chain and Gypsy were going to be in the documentary.

The full performances of many bands will be featured in the DVD extras.

definitely interesting to see, especially for fans of the band. definitely the last real tour of the Rumours era band, before the dissipation, the comeback and nostalgia act phases.

Stevie has such big wide open coke eyes right at the end of the second verse. I love how she laughs when she misses her cue. Usually she is not phased by such a thing but its great to see her have fun. Lindsey has absolutely NO eye contact with Stevie. That HBO stuff was a put on for TV

Are we able to purchase the DVD with extras if we didn't donate to the kickstarter?

I don't know for sure how it will be, if you want to ask directly to director Aveni you can do it here:https://www.facebook.com/usfestmovie/?hc_ref=SEARCH

What I can tell you is that he said that the documentary will have no song performances but only brief clips here and there because it is a documentary. But the DVD will have additional content or "extra" that will be full performance from the bands that participated. When asked by me if FM full performance will be featured he confirmed.

This.

I agree completely! I HATE all the additional musicians now. WHO decided that it just wasn't enough, them with Ray occasionally adding an acoustic guitar?

I'd certainly guess that all the backup singers was Stevie's idea. Then I'd guess that led to more fattening.... BLECK!

It would have been awesome if Lindsey did the Tango tour and it was still just the five of them and they actually have live videos of it, not the reenacted performances with occasional stock audience shots added in.

Yeah, and all those Stevie's close-ups that make no sense at all, and that certainly Lindsey would have never approved had he been there.

I guess it was a joint decision. My guess would be first of all, Stevie, but I think they all took some advantage of all the circus sorrounding them.

Didn't she recruited Sharon on Hawaii or somewhere else? I can't remember. It certainly was her idea.
