I ran across something years ago that had show lineups for various dates in 1977 (and later) and FM was on many times. It also listed the songs and they featured all the hits from Rumours at various times. That's where the Dreams and Don't Stop videos come in as well. My theory is that since the band was so busy on tour they probably were asked to do a few promo live clips since they already had stuff from Rosebud. This way, the band didn't have interrupt its touring schedule and WB could just provide videos to the various shows that wanted them to perform. This was a fairly common practice back then. Although I never saw these 1977 shows, I am fairly certain that they just used the Rosebud clips. I don't think FM performed live again on Midnight Special or Rock Concert.

This makes sense
