I figure after I bought 6 mac CD's that it was time for some live Mac on film. So I bought The Dance.
Now don't get me wrong, it's a good concert. However, it is only just a good concert. The music was well performed and rehearsed by a bunch of seasoned professionals, while way past their heyday, could still play well. It's not the most exciting thing, but the music is good enough for it to be entertaining.
I know that this is not the Mac of yore. Christine uses way too obvious a selection of songs (the whole thing is pretty predictable though, predictably good, but not much in the way of non-singles or non-Rumours songs) and Stevie just seems too sedate compared to what I've read about her classic performances. Lindsey's voice sounds weathered and Mick doesn't look like the classic bug-eyed Mick I've seen in older footage. John does his job just as well as always, I'd imagine.
But I'm being long winded. I want the Tusk and Mirage concerts!
The Rumours tour and Making Of Tusk documentaries would also be really cool to watch. Old hands can pull of a decent show but it's these classic periods of bands that really excite me.
Amazon had the Mirage vid out of stock and I imagine it's staying that way, and I imagine that the Tusk video and documentaries are not commercially available. If anybody could point me out to somewhere I could buy these (besides ebay, where I've lost money 3 times and never intend using again) I'd really appreciate it. Hell, I'd even pay for copies and shipping if that's what you'd want. I would just really like to see this stuff.
Thanks!
Eric
