Bootlegs please!
 

Hi, I'm a newcomer and I'd like to launch my registration talking about my favourite thing, bootlegs.
To start I'd like to have a good copy of 1978 Dallas concert if anyone has it, I'll reciprocate every kind soul posting whatever I have.
I'll start with my favourite version of "Dreams" from the rumours tour, from the Osaka 1977 concert since I think it's pretty rare and when I can I'll post the rest of the concert.

Thank you for this. I had never heard this show before. I LOVED this Rhiannon.

Greetings to you, SisterNightroad!
Thanks and much appreciation for you sharing this show. I'm burned it to CD and have been enjoying it. They were a much looser band then, but so good. One thing I noticed is that the first song Say You Love Me, isn't from this show, but from a Christine solo show. At first I thought the introduction was a joke when they said Please welcome Christine McVie , but I immediately recognized it was her solo band.

Where in Italy do you live? (My paternal grandfather was born in Northern Italy. When he was only 12 years old he was sent alone on a boat to join relatives in New England/USA. His son, my father married my mother,who was from a Sicilian family. Unfortunately I don't know how to speak the language other than a lot of Italian swear/curse words!:lol:)

You're both welcome vivfox and PenguinHead!
I also love this Rhiannon especially for the adlibs she does near the end, I think it's my favorite Rhiannon from the rumours tour.
I wouldn't expect the first song being from another show, I thought it was strange that they greeted Christine instead of the whole band but I thought that i just didn't have the intro of the concert.
I live in the border of Umbria and Tuscany, in Città della pieve, in Italy it's a quite known village because it's the birthplace of a quite known painter that was the master of Leonardo Da Vinci.
If you're curious this is a photo: http://foto.umbriaonline.com/wp-cont...panoramica.jpg

P.S. I checked "Say you love me" and while maybe the introduction can possibly be from another show, i have to say that in the chorus I definitely hear Stevie's voice.

Tusk Tusk Tusk
 

If you wanted to post the Tusk shows...that'd be appreciated :) I have a couple things here and there, but I don't know that I've come across whole shows outside of the Yokohama one. Interesting collection!

I'd like to know what the standout tracks are for you.

Thankyou very much for this, this recording of Landslide is incredible and is now one of my favorites

You're welcome! This is my favourite Rumours show, so every track is potentially my favourite!

What Tusk shows are you most interested in? I have to say that I don't know if all of them are complete, but I'm certain that most of it are; I'm sure that Chicago is only the first half of the show though.
Right now I'm working to add Seattle and Rotterdam from 1980 to my collection.

Any of them really. Is there one that you think is the best? I'm a big fan of the Sara performances from the tour. It was the right time for that song. The appearance of Over and Over and Think About Me would be a plus. What do you think is the highlight for you from those shows?

I personally like the Richfield and the Chicago concerts Looking from the whole show point of view, and they have very good quality (respectively A and B). The Richfield version of Sara is very good, you can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiyCn0FTkmM
Listen also this to form an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhau5Q4NENc
I just downloaded the Rotterdam concert and I'm listening to it; it's a very energetic and rocking performance, both musically and vocally good, but has an awful quality (C or D). In compensation there is a rare performance of That's enough for me, and one of the best Rhiannon from the Tusk tour in my opinion, with lots of fierce improvisation from Stevie.
Today I also listened to Seattle, it's very good, it almost sound like a soundboard.
The Mobile and Hollywood Bowl shows both have Think about me and Over and over.
Over and over is also present on St.Louis and Philadelphia.
A huge highlight for me is the presence of the USC marching band on the Los angeles show, altough the quality isn't stellar (B/C).

P.S. I'll post the entire shows when I have more time. I usually don't listen very closely to Sara on bootleg because even if I think the live rendition it's really lovely, I also think it's one of those songs for which is better the album version so I'll check up later your response.
Meanwhile listen to this version from the tusk rehearsals, it's close to the album version: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/l87f.../2-14_Sara.mp3

I agree with you completely.

That wail...
 

I think Richfield would be a nice one to have. When you can get to it. Thanks so much!

Thanks for sharing a little personal information. I'd to explore Italy in my lifetime. I was in Venice for a day way back in the eighties, when I went on a month long "Let's blow through Europe" trip with a friend. It was loosely planned; but we were young and stupid.

I have bootlegs of Christine's solo tour, and know what her band sounds like. The opening song is absolutely from her tour. Sonic-wise, and instrumentally it's quality is stark difference from the rest of the show; it's even apparent in the audience applause, as she performed in smaller venues. Christine's band, while very competent, had a more light-weight delivery than Fleetwood Mac. I can see how you might hear Stevie in the mix. Her band was all men, and one of them had a high voice that mimicked the harmonies. I'm really curious how/why that performance got slipped in. Would sure like to have the actual performance.

Yes, the "Is that What you want?" coda is very powerful.

This is Richfield: (wrong)
Then I uploaded my shortest shows because it takes less.
Chicago: (wrong)
Philadelphia: (wrong)
Enjoy! And yes, that wail at the end of the Richfield Sara is very moving.

Tell me whenever you feel like coming to Italy, I'd be glad to be your guide! I have to advise that I'm also very young but maybe I'm not very stupid. It would be a Pity if everithing Americans knew of Italy were Berlusconi.

This thing of "Say you love me" really confuses me, I downloaded this concert a year ago and I always thought it was whole since:
1) Around 8-9 seconds I Hear what I think are Lindsey and John voices saying respectively "Hello!" and "Osaka good evening" and then also Christine saying "Osaka good evening" at 20 seconds circa.
2) After the first 1 minute circa there is the signature Tusk riff that the band used as an intro before the Tusk tour.
3) At 1 minute and 15 second circa I hear in the background, a little buried in the music, someone saying "Ladies and gentleman, please give a warm welcome to Fleetwood Mac!"
4) The higher voice in the chorus is also a bit rough and resembles too much Stevie's. her voice during this evening had a very "particular" sound (I've read in a review she had just been operated or something) you can hear through all the show, so I find it difficult to think that a man could have the same effect.
5) If you hear all three of the Japanese bootlegs, you can hear that they all sound very good without much noise from the crowd. It's a characteristic of the japanese crowd to be "low" since in the japanes traditional culture is considered "ill-mannered" to be too loud in a public event since it could prevent other people from enjoying the event (I know it sounds like bull**** but I studied it in Social Psychology; keep in mind that it was 37 years ago and generally eastern countries are much more traditionalist and conservative than western countries).

I'm starting to think that the link wasn't right. Is this the song we're talking about?: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/c6jw...ou_Love_Me.mp3

Sorry...
 

All 3 of those links (Richfield and the others) lead to an ad screen for Mediafire for me. Am I doing something wrong?

They don't work for me either.

Just to let you guys know, the 20/20 special from 1980 uses live clips from the Richfield show. One of the BEST, or THE best Live Angel I have ever heard. I'd suggest Louie that you listen to this, even though you don't like the actual song. I think you'll really like this. My favorite part is the last 2 minutes of the song.

Hi SisterNightroad.I didn't catch your name.Welcome to the Ledge.My sister and my dad visited Italy about 5 years ago and they said it was beautiful there.

Please note the current links just take me to my Mediafire account.Which was strange.I doubt they were deleted by them.I have files on MF since 2008 and they are still there.Adrive is another good cloud drive too and its free.

Thanks for the shows and you can post them all for us if you like.

Maybe it's not meant to be! I'm getting the same mediafire log in page. Oh well. Thanks for trying!

I'm sorry but I don't know what's wrong with the links and I'm getting ****ing pissed off now, the first time I posted it worked so I thought it would work the second!
I'll try to post the singular links of the songs:

Yes, I live in a beautiful country but with lots of economical and political problems! Where have your sister and father been in Italy?
By "catch" you mean "understand"? It's a word play from the name of the main character of one of my favourite mangas (it's called "Trinity blood"), you can see the picture on my public profile.
I've just started using mediafire for the purpose of sharing music since before actively joining the forum some very kind people here helped me in filling my collection. Before I've only used Google drive but I don't want to use the same drive I use for university for my hobbies, so it would be very troublesome for me to change drive again.

Yes!
 

It works! Thanks, SisterNightroad. I hate to point this out, but Oh Well is linked to twice and the second time it's supposed to be Rhiannon. I feel terrible pointing that out after all this. Sorry! But thanks again! This is a really good one. :]

Don't worry, I'll just edit.
By the way mediafire is a prick.
Do the other links work as well?

The other links work! No worries there

Thanks.The links are working great.As I was saying about my sister, dad and my niece was over in Italy.I talked to my sister today and I ask her where they visit.She said they traveled everywhere.My niece was there with them.They stayed for about 16 days.They had a ball.My Dads father"my granddad" was born in one of the small towns there.I dont remember the name of the town at this point.

Yes you get plenty of Fleetwood Mac stuff from here.Yes I agree on not using the same drive for your hobbies.I remember parents were not happy seeing Stevie Nicks /FM stuff on their computer then This was back in the 1990's.So thats when I got my own computer .

i appreciate these...
 

Thanks for sharing these great Fleetwood Mac moments. I'm digging the way Stevie sings "Dreams" from the Richfield, Ohio show. The last "..women, they will come and go..." is so crystal gypsy velvet..

Thank you so much for sharing..:nod:

You're welcome!
Yes, Richfield, alongside with Chicago, is my favourite 1980 show.
The only thing that bugs me is that I know that this should be a complete show since on the 20/20 Tusk special there is a snippet of Sisters of the moon (and it looked awesome), but I've never found a complete version of this bootleg.

Hi there Sister,

Do you by any chance happen to have a live version of Seven Wonders from the San Francisco '87 show? I'd love to show it to my mother.

Hi! I downloaded this show because there was my favourite version of Seven Wonders: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/tz5s...ncisco,_CA.mp3
Somewhere in the near future I'll upload the complete show!

Rotterdam:

(I slightly edited it since it is poor quality but is an amazing performance)

Thanks so much for this thread SisterNightroad. I've only had a chance to listen to SOTM and The Chain for Melbourne and Hollywood Bowl, but Wow they're great. A real pleasure - thanks. When I find the time, I'll listen to some more :)

Thank you for that link so much, Sister!!

You're welcome!
