I bought mine via Amazon Merchants. Still for sale, new or used.
Fleetwood Mac: Mirage Tour DVD (http://www.amazon.com/Fleetwood-Mac-Concert-Mirage-Tour/dp/B0003NRGYW/ref=sr_1_6/102-8230268-5260147?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1190649787&sr=1-6)

The cover image is incorrect, but my DVD has outstanding video and the audio is good too, not 5.1, but at least stereo 2.0.

[Sarah]

you know, this is the one thing i've never had. i have all kinds of rarities, and even an original copy of the tusk documentary, but i've never had the mirage tour vhs or dvd. bummer.

there is a version available on amazon, and it pops up on e-bay as well. it has the tango tour lineup on the cover, but it is in fact the mirage video. i guess i could break down and buy it.. but that error is so blatant.. it kind of throws off my obsessive compulsive need to have everything in my collection in perfect condition. i'd almost prefer a bootlegged copy of it.

anyway.. here's the link, if you could overlook the cover:

edited to say: jinx with richard b. buy me a coke.

[kathy1]

thanks for the help.

even an original copy of the tusk documentary, .

so by original version do you mean the unedited version? i have the vhs of it but i have heard that the laserdisc version was much longer. If this is true, were there more songs or just more behind the scenes stuff? or both?
i heard the "angel" scene was longer and that is my fave part.

or do you mean "original" as in first print run?

original as in first print run. :) i couldn't comment on the length differences, because it's the only version i've watched. and it's been a long time... i don't watch it because the picture quality is perfect and i don't want to ruin it by running it through the vhs player. i'm going to put it onto dvd, i just haven't gotten around to it yet.

i need to look into getting the laserdisc version to check that out.

But even if the company that produced it had legitimate licensing & permission, the DVD was still "ripped" from a VHS source & not the video source (it was shot on video instead of film) used to produce the original VHS. I wonder whether the silver box or the black box was used (the silver being the better picture & sound).

Oh, it most definitely is. But by bootleg, I meant "fan circulated".

Curiosity: this dvd is from Brazil, no? Do they respect US Copyrights? I know many countries don't, but I'm not sure about Brazil.

[danax6]

Definitely get the laserdisc version. It has far superior sound to all the crappy 'bootleg' versions they are selling everywhere. I have the Brazilian version and a version I ordered from Australia (where they promised me 5.1 surround sound) and both just hurt my ears. The laserdisc version, however, utter bliss compared to that crap. My laserdisc version comes with the extra stuff that surfaced here and there, only the sound, though tweaked to get the best result, doesn't match the rest of the laserdisc, but still better than those crappy dvds. Sarah, I can make you a copy if you want. :wavey:

The quality is poor. I never even thought it was worth having. (except when I used to own the VHS)

[kathy1]

i don't have anything that plays laserdiscs.

:eek: are you for serious??

[danax6]

:eek: are you for serious??Absolutely. PM me your address and I'll send a copy your way. It's a must-have. :cool:

The quality is not poor. The video is very clear, better than my original VHS copy. The audio is fine, just not great. I was actually quite surprised.

What other footage has surfaced from recent years? We are talking about the Mirage video correct? I still have the original box from the 80s. :lol:

Absolutely. PM me your address and I'll send a copy your way. It's a must-have. :cool:

they do not respect the US copyrights. I have many cd's from Russia that you cannot tell the difference between the US release and the Russian release, minus the fact that most of the Russian releases are illegal/pirated copies.

Which laserdisc has the "extra stuff"?

I have the laserdisc released by Pioneer Artists and it excludes Tusk, Rhiannon and Blue Letter which were on the VHS version. It was also edited by switching the order of GYOW and SOTM. On the laserdisc, GYOW is the last track and is after SOTM. It's the other way around on the VHS tape.

and even an original copy of the tusk documentary,





Now that's what I 've always wanted to have and never figured out where to find it.
I've seen some parts on youtube I think (not only the "Angel" part) but never all of it.
Any ideas?
:shrug:

It was a lucky ebay find years and years ago. I haven't seen another since. :(

[danax6]

Woops, my mistake. I meant to say the laserdisc version with the extra stuff that was left off, but did appear on the VHS version.

It's kind of funny to see this up on you tube now because many years ago there was this video store that i was in and it was a little mom and pop video store but they had an original copy of the tusk documentary. And when i saw it on the shelf i asked the guy if he wanted to sell it. He said no so i rented it and knowing i had this ''treasure'' in my hands that i knew i had to give back i went out and bought 4 of the highest quality blank vhs tapes i could find. So i made 4 perfect ''sp'' copies of the video. 1 i kept just for watching and the other 3 copies have been sitting in my video case untouched and unplayed for about 13 years. I do take the copies out to fast forward and rewind the tapes every now and then so they won't deteiorate over time.

obsessive no...protective...hell yes

I had the Tusk Documentary on original Beta. I still have it, but no Beta machine.

I hope so,
i´m sure there´s people waiting to get their money spent on material like that.
Just look at Kiss,their Kissology dvd box sets have sold by the truck load.
Why wouldn´t similar Fleetwood mac set sell?
