:shrug: (Using the "shrug" emoticon although it looks like he's doing military presses.)

Considering the severely diminishing output of new music as the decades go by (Lindsey Buckingham excluded -- he's been surprisingly busy/productive in the last few years)...you would think they could look back at everything that has not been released....or not released properly for the 21st century...and look at the potential: if not just for financial gains -but for posterity...and the fans, for godsake!! Do they ever really give a f*ck what their long-time fans would love to have??? It doesn't appear that way. They are fully aware of the clammer to release Buckingham Nicks (they own the rights!!), yet they sit on their asses.

Stevie is biggest offender of mining her history ad-nasuem, so you think at least she would be the one releasing more of it: Who wouldn't love the entire Bella Donna concert on DVD, just to cite one of many things wasting away in "vaults" that we know of?

Granted, liscensing issues etc...are involved...but com'on! Lesser artists seem to have no problem with that. Overall, they appear to be alarmingly stingy and out of touch with their true and loyal fans. It's a stark contrast to the current music business model...where less established bands (and some well-established bands) are reaching out to their fan bases in unique new ways in order to keep them engaged.:(

Thanks so much for Trouble and WYWH David!!

I really wish they would dig into the vault a bit and release these gems. Perhaps the band doesn't really even realize these recordings/videos exist, or maybe Mick has them hidden away in a basement as he did the Rumours Tour videos (which are wonderful and I'm so happy they chose to share them!)

Perhaps they'll release more in preparation for the upcoming tour? We can only hope!

I don't think it's a matter of Lindsey, Stevie, or Mick selling junk from the vaults. I can't but think that they'd not be involved. I don't think old videos from the Tusk tour or the Mirage tour are even on their radar. They live -- as do we all when it comes to our own lives -- in the here & now.

If this old stuff is ever going to be made available in official capacity, other people are going to have to arrange it: label management, namely, or specialty labels like Razor & Tie. Stevie already exceeded all expectations with her last product (I forgot the name of it) with all that video of 1981 recording sessions. The idea that she herself even wanted to do that -- & then went ahead & did it -- is mind-boggling. I still wonder what prompted it. Stevie's idea? Seems really unlikely. A businessman's idea? Perhaps. I'm inclined to think that all these years of Stevie's fans on the Internet asking for scraps & orts from decades ago prompted this "Crystal Vision" project, or whatever it's called.
