I read somewhere that there was track called "Butter Cookie" but I didn't see that title on the remaster unless it's under a different name? Did Fleetwood Mac ever perform Tusk live complete from beginning to end? Is one of the discs a live performance like this? I read that one of the discs is an alternate Tusk. Is every track from the original album represented in an alternate version? Are they just small differences that are hard to notice?

Ok, I'll take a crack at it. I'm sure someone else can go more in depth in answering your question but here goes. "Sara" is the only shortened track on the original CD. The 2015 remaster does not have everything on the 2004 remaster. Maybe not even most of it. "Father's Daughter" is another key exclusion of the 2015 version. The version of "I Know I'm Not Wrong" that has appeared on all previous CD releases of Tusk is nowhere to be found on the 2015 set. This is a different mix than that on the original LP and it's that original mix that is featured here on the main disc. Even though several outtakes of the song are included none of them are the CD mix. No, they have not played Tusk beginning to end or even all the songs at different times. Some have not been played still. The alternate Tusk is different performances of every song and while the extent of the differences vary they are all noticeable. Some of them are very different.
