I still love listening to my Tusk Tour bootlegs for this reason. All the live tracks evolved over that 10 month tour. Before Tusk I was always enamored with Rhiannon live from any White album or Rumours album tour but after Tusk, none of those early Rhiannon's could match the brilliance of the Tusk Tour ones IMO. Even with the other songs they did, it is such a thrill to hear the Tusk Tour versions. Sadly I was only able to attend one Tusk concert and it wasn't very good and it was also in the 3rd month of the tour. Their fire wasn't lit until they headed over to Japan & Australia. That's when they started to burn. Then when they moved over to Europe they were blazing and rode that wave back through the USA to end the tour.
